Cool August


I'm a little weirded out that I haven't experienced proper summer weather. I meeeeeeaaaann, don't get me wrong, I love not sweating buckets and feeling the oven heat on my skin, but I just feel like it's not even real summer. 

Granted, now that I'm out of school I'm living in a state of perpetual Summer so it's lost its feeling of being something unique and special, but I'm talking weather wise that it's been such a triiiiip! I'm just in awe but still skeptical that this is just it. 

I have a feeling that come September I'll finally feel the heat and I'll be cursing at myself for having jinxed it. But you know me, I just can't believe something when it's too good to be true.

Although, i heard on the radio today that this has thus far been the coolest August since 1919. CRAZY!



long cardi: threadsence, dress: gentle fawn (via threadsence now on sale!), top: urban outfitters, shoes: MIA (via nordstrom's rack), purse: ebay, necklace: forever 21, glasses: derek cardigan (via coastal.com)

These shoes are amazing! I bought them my last year of college and honestly have not worn them as much as i should. They were on super sale for $25 too so it was a MAJOR win. Unfortunately, MIA shoes no longer makes clogs!? Which is ridiculously sad considering they originated during the clog craze of the 70s. Does no one stay true to their roots anymore? With the rising height of Swedish Hasbeens' popularity of the past three years MIA is gonna wish they kept making clogs! I mean, i wish it! That price difference is killlllller. For a while urban outfitters was selling them but now i can't seem to find any place online that sells them. Your best bet is bidding on some on ebay or shelling out for swedish hasbeens. I mean, the craftsmanship of the hasbeens is amazing but this is post-collegiate-i-dont-have-a-real-job-yet life! i can't afford that! sheesh throw a sistah a freakin bone! 

if you guys know of any other clog shoe alternatives within a decent (read: cheap) price range share your secret!
