First Vlog Attempt- Oh geez

Star Spangled Banner

Happy almost 4th of July everyone! I know it's only the 3rd, but this is going to be a really busy week for me. My boyfriend, Tyler, is coming into town until next Monday and we have all kind of fun stuff planned; the zoo, Six Flags, fireworks. I can't wait :) So in addition to posting this to show off my 4th of July outfit that I love, I'm also just giving you guys a heads up that posting might slow down a little bit. It depends on how tolerate he is about me spending time on the computer, haha.

Now moving on to the outfit, I was very excited to show you all this outfit because my shorts are those DIY Star Spangled Banner shorts that I showed you a couple posts back! I absolutely the love them. The only problem is that all of the jeans that I have made into cuff-offs and then cuffed have been very tight around my thighs, even though they were loose when I left them un-cuffed. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to fix it?

The tank top that I tied off here has these very large breast pocket on the right side. You can see it in some of the pictures, and I've never quite known what it's for. It's too loose to stick anything in it, but sometimes it doesn't even look like a pocket! It's really just a strange addition to the shirt but I wanted a loose tank and this was the best one I found. I actually bought it about 2 years ago I think, and it's still holding up quite well.

One last commentary is the belt that I have on. I bought it at a garage sale and I love it., absolutely love it. It's just a brown skinny belt with a single row of gold studs on it, but I've found that it goes with most anything. Definitely worth the $.50 I spend on it!

Hopefully I'll still be able to find time to post again later this week. Don't forget to comment on the posts and let me know what you like/dislike/want to see more of. I always want to hear what you guys have to say :)

Cat Eyes and Contrast

Sunglasses, sunnies, shades, spekkies...no matter what you call them, they will be a summer fashion accessory until the sun burns out. And there are no shortage of styles. Big, small, round, square, Ray Bans, Oakley's, the list goes on. For this summer, I've been looking at a pair of black large cat eye glasses for a while now but I haven't been able to find a pair that weren't way out of my price range :( Something similar to these:

These are by Tom Ford. Are they not just utterly fabulous? It's too bad that they're $390

But since those are so far out of my price-range that I can't even see them on the imaginary line of prices, I'll have to just continue dreaming. I've got 4 pairs right now, but I don't own a classic black or brown pair. I've been on the look out, but I just haven't found the right pair yet. What kind of sunglasses you guys have or want? What kinds do you find beyond hideous?

Side Note: I just purchased the most amazing shoes on Ebay. They are dark pink and light pink contrast imitation Lita boots *drool*. Since it'll be a while until I can purchase the real thing on a college budget, I found these lovelies from a link on She Wears Fashion, one of my most favorite fashion blogs. They were only $20! They're shipping from the UK though, so they ended up being $34, but considering the actual Litas would have cost me $160+, I thought it was a pretty good steal. I'll be sure to let you guys know when they come in, and I can't wait to be able to do an outfit post with them on!

Until then, xoxo

Lauren, Ralph

Hey there everyone. For the last two days I've worked double shifts so I've been dead tired. Plus my photoshop randomly stopped working and I have yet to identify the problem! So just a heads up that the pictures might be a little weird or off for a while. Sorry :( Anyway, this was just an outfit that I wore to go see Magic Mike *cue fangirl drooling* and spend a little quality time shopping with one of my best friends, Lauren. Nothing too fancy.

I know it doesn't match but I just loved this picture.

I'm thinking of having a giveaway when I reach a certain number of page views. 500? 1000? And what would you guys like to see in the giveaway? Let me know in a comment and I'll be sure to let you guys know when it's getting close!
