crimson & curls

After somehow (magically) not having to go into work today, I got to shoot a bit of my fun fall/winter items I received from my good friends over at Nowistyle Japan! (And by not going into work I mean I did go in, things were slow so they said I didn't have to stay, and instead I ended up shopping for an hour while I'm trying to "save" money. Whoops.)
No work meant time to shoot these photos at the house really quickly, and then getting to go to my parents house for dinner and family time! After a day plagued with oversleeping & exams, I think it was just what the doctor ordered!

• Skirt/top/clutch- Nowistyle Japan
• Bracelet- Banana Republic (a gift from my perfect Big, Emily!)

summer prep

I'm going through that anxious phase I go through every year when summer break is so close I can nearly taste it. The air is hot and the weekends are such a tease. One of the only things I love about summer is getting a huge inspiration-boost. All the excess time I have gives me the opportunity to revamp my wardrobe, create lots of inspiration boards, work on making my own pieces, and do lots of writing. I'm more excited for this summer than usual, though, because this is the summer before my freshman year of college. Many things will be changing (moving out, for starters) and I'm hoping to change my wardrobe (just a teensy bit) along with those things. If ever there were a time, it would be now. I want to try out new styles and step out of my comfort zone just a bit.
I've also spent the majority of my day whipping up a new resume and applying for quite a few summer internships in LA and NYC...so who knows where this summer may take me?
