Be Still My Heart

not as good as my beloved grannies (found: here) that i wore to DEATH last year and the year before that but they will do. stalking these boots so hard online - they must be mine. will let you know how it goes later this week.
where the wild things are (tee)
countdown.
going?
opening ceremony with joe (not the guy in the middle).

my new blazer! its been collecting dust in my closet since may. spontaneously got it from zara when the sun first came out this spring. tried to hold out for a vintage one but i had to give up the impossible search.

checked out A.P.C too. click here if you want to cry like me. its surprising how quickly you can rationalize spending $700 on a coat that may not be super warm and $500 on ankle boots that may not last FOREVER. left empty handed but inspired for fall which kinda was the point.

felt like an 80's private school girl in my thrifted loafers today.

 twisted my hair all over to make it look messy wavy. took the twists out and teased it a bit. went from wide puff to soft waves to loose waves to just about flat. gonna try it again tomorrow. 

is it hot? is it cold? is it hot?

last year's dress is still in rotation months later. o, and georgia, its from h&m.
So thank you for the comments and the help about these boots:
but against the popular vote to keep i actually returned them.
thinking a little black bag with some hardware may satisfy my stud craving.

ALSO, my boy fashion brain takes over the girl part and i fail with options. when it comes to black boots i always seem to wear my go to ones i thrifted last fall:


my black stud $ trade helped me get these:
i'm happy

i need your HELP

yay or nay? please leave a comment ASAP and let me know. spontaneously picked these up a while ago and now i'm down to just a few days b4 i can't return them.
the facts:
1. want something fun & trendy.
2. buying black mini moccasin boots which are more natural to me so F the studded trend. right?

helpppppp
summer is basically over here in new york *sadface sorta. i really need clothes for fall - can't wear my uniform (below) everyday.



ut oh, its getting cold out.
which means that its...














sketchy me:

1. time to put those replacement brown ankle boots, the hunt for good jeans and fall thrift shop finds daydreams into full gear.

2. time to buy a bunch of stamps (most of my family members have september & october bdays)

3. time to sort thru my warm weather stuff and see whats even there! pretty sure i need a bunch of replacement cardigans as mine are worn to death.

4. time to start pilates again - that studio got way too sweaty in july.

5. time to say so long to my summer skin (altho, the bikes rides will continue so perhaps the suntan will a little too)

6. time to get excited for autumn.

happy me:
