Gone Fishing

Ah, what a lovely day. Woke up at 6:30 because early bird catches the worm. (Or in this case, the fish.) Though I didn't actually fish (I hate watching the poor things wriggle on the end of the line), the barbecuing and the silliness made for a great (early) morning. Then it was ruined by my eight hour shift. You can't have everything.



But wait...then why is there a slide?

It was hot today. Extremely hot. And I picked possibly the worst spot to take pictures as the sun was making its way into my highly sensitive pupils. Regardless, I did five loads of laundry, went out on the town for a while, and headed off to work. I'm going to a picnic tomorrow. Anyone else think this dress is totally appropriate? I hope so. Though I might get severely mocked for being overdressed. Again. 

IT'S THE SIMPLE THINGS

I was basically full at this point.

Making pancakes today was a much-needed distraction from "cleaning" the house. Though not fashion-related, I am so unbelievably and pathetically proud of myself. Usually I'm never able to flip pancakes without breaking them at least a little bit. But these came out perfect. Ah. Oh, and if at any time you think your blueberries are losing their sweetness or that your bananas are getting too soft, putting them in pancakes is the perfect way for them to not go to waste. 

VINDICATED

After going back and forth in my mind about whether or not I should pursue blogging, I have decided that continuing what I start for once will be a good thing. Idle hands are the devil's playthings. Plus I genuinely enjoy fashion blogging. So here I am. 

Lace top, Forever 21; Skinny jeans, Grane; Gladiator sandals, Dolce Vita.

As summer approaches I find myself being more and more attracted to lace, but I'll never abandon my love affair with black, no matter how hot the weather. It's sweltering in the old Garden State, so I decided to refresh myself in a gigantic empty freezer my friends and I found. I went a little photo-shop crazy in that last photo (too myspace-y?). Anyway, I'm not particularly thrilled about my outfit today. But with my dad surprising me with a spanking new Nikon D5000 I just had to get picture-happy.
