iced coffee weather

I can't believe it's already short-dress/iced-coffee/100-degree weather. Spring was what....2 weeks long? I can't believe how quickly my senior year is flying by. So many things have come and gone and I'm just left thinking, "Why didn't I stop to appreciate that more?" I'm going through the whole "this-is-my-last-time-to-ever-do-this" phase with just about everything school related. And don't get me wrong, I'm more than ready to be out of high school....but it's so strange thinking about all the things I've done nearly every day for four years, I'll never do again. With three weeks 'til graduation, just about everything is coming to a close.
.....and as I was typing this, I just realized I still haven't found a graduation dress. Probably should get on that.

First of all, let me apologize for the awful quality/angles/lack of creativity with these photos.
I haven't slept in a few days and I just feel so out of it. And I would do an outfit post, but my face is still swollen/red from an allergic reaction I had with a makeup product. Awesome.

ANYWAY, my back-to-school shopping has begun, clearly. These are all the things I've picked up within the last month or so for school.
I didn't really notice until I even made this post, but it appears that I'm really gravitating towards pinks, neutrals, and polka dots. And skulls. I love skulls.
I'm excited to wear all of the sweaters I've gotten, but those won't be put to use until December because of the awful heat in Texas. I also am super duper excited to finally have a pair of quality black jeggings! Thank you Levis, you are never a disappointment. They fit so nicely and are extremely comfy.
Although I was initially really excited about my backpack, when it got here I found that it was teeny tiny. The site I bought it off of didn't mention that is called a "mini" backpack (or so Roxy calls it). I really like the style, though, so I'm going back and forth on whether I'll return it.

I've also bought a ton more things online that haven't arrived yet. My online spending is out of control. I'd say that I need to stop, but I really don't want to. What's better than getting mail and having new clothes? Probably nothing.

just little things

Everything in this photo is under $10! I'm such a thrifty, frugal girl. Phone case- amazon, wedges- Target, fur vest- thrifted, DIY lace trim shorts- thrifted (then I added the trim!), sunglasses- Target, ring- thrifted.

detailzzzzzz

DIY lace trim shorts! I'm not entirely finished with them (have to sew up the edges- they look messy). Just use fabric glue and then sew them on!

DIY lace trim part 2- back side.

Was feeling healthy yesterday, as you can see (a rare occurance for me). I already ate all the blueberries...oops.

Salad w/ avocado! Yum yum yum.

Spent the morning out thrifting with my sister and found so many great things (those lavender shorts being one of them) and the rest you'll probably see soon! I'm such a sucker for buying sweaters in the summer because I miss autumn/winter so much....I bought like 5 and I almost regret it but not really because it's better to get them now when they're cheaper!
I also DIY'd some shorts when I got home because I had like 6 cups of coffee and was starting to go insane from a caffeine overdose and needed something to do.
I still need to touch them up a bit, but overall I'm happy with the outcome!
I'm also a huge salad nut (favorite food!) and have been trying to step outside of my caesar-salad-only routine and add new things, so yesterday I tried avocado! Tasted even better than I expected :')
We're also having an unexpected thunderstorm here right now (which is a huge blessing in Texas) so today has been a good day!

Canton Treasures

Found some really cute rings for such a bargain! (Ended up with about seven)

These were the cutest little bars of soap! They smelled so nice, and I loved that they were wrapped in maps!

Okay you guys, you may think I'm exaggerating, but this was honestly the best bread I've ever tasted. It was homemade, and the guy who was selling it put honey on it and it was so delicious!  We bought three bags of the flour to make it because we couldn't get enough of it! It tasted so moist and fresh!

Walked away with the most delicious smelling homemade coffee in Caramel Creme (mmmm), handmade Coconut scented soap, and a really sweet smelling vanilla candle. I've already burned it several times today and it smells incredible!
Items I got that aren't pictured: Vintage "The North Face" camera bag, old wooden crate boxes, and a few more rings in addition to the ones in the first photo.
