The holiday weekend came and went. I ate a lot and enjoyed every minute of it. I spent four days with the ones I love the most, and wish it would have lasted a little longer (and that I had more leftovers in my fridge). I couldn't be more thankful for the life I have. This year has definitely been a transition for me; from changing jobs and industries all together, to most of my friends getting in engaged and moving into big-people-homes and being in my first wedding, to turning 25 (I'll spear you the details) but it all has really helped me in realizing what my goals are as I become "an adult". Weird. I mean really, I remember being 15 and stressing about getting my driving permit, and now its "oh shit, I need to establish some real good credit if I ever what to be concerned for a home loan." I'll save that topic for another post, but my point is we're one month closer to 2015. I'm excited and I want to accomplish a lot in the next year (you can read about those things <a href="http://llovestoshare.blogspot.com/2014/11/twenty-five-while-twenty-five.html">here</a>). Here are a few pictures from the past weekend.</div>

Call me a creature of habit, but when it comes to my nails I like them dark. A L W A Y S . Here are my silly reasons why 1. I think it makes me look older and 2. It's Chic. My favorites shades are 'Lincoln Park After Dark' and this week's winner 'You Don't Know Jacques!'. Originally I tried to talk myself into a red to go a festive direction but sometimes change freaks me out, so Jacques! won. It has a grey/brownish hue to it which equals fall to me. Chic Fall. I'm also a fan of any O P I polish in particular because painting my own nails stresses me out due to the fact that my patients will run out if I can't manage to keep the paint on my nail and not all over my skin - luckily their brushes are the best and wide so you can cover your whole nail in basically two strokes. And my mom let me borrow this magical fast-dry top coat so my nails are officially looking good for the week ahead.<br />

Will you look at that, its finally casual Friday and I can be a little more trendy. This plaid gem I scored at Target! God I love that place. Plaid has become my go-to pieces since the weather has changed, and it seems that most of the people in my office have to same idea - I've counted 5 others rockin' plaid, but I also work in the construction industry so plaid is like a second skin around here. That's what makes plaid a winner in my book; it doesn't matter who you are, you'll probably look super cool in plaid. Anyone else throw on some plaid today? By the way, PLAID was used 8x here. </div>

W O R K B A S I C . I feel like this is a common occurrence that many of us face at some point in our lives. You work in a cube where everything is an off-white hue and you deal with numbers all day, so you try to dress sharp, but it comes out basic. P L E A S E tell me I'm not alone. Since my priorities have shifted at 25, all my money goes to rent, bills, and food to stay alive, and whatever is left I either try to stash away in my savings so that I may actually own a home one day before I'm 50 - or it goes to my Starbucks addiction that I am also trying to wean off of. No more blowing all my money at Nordy's, I can only <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/llovestoshare/" target="_blank">pin my dreams.</a> How is it that these blogger/people I follow manage to have so many amazing clothes and that is their 'work basic' - If you are one of them please send me your slightly worn designer threads that you will probably only photograph once or twice in, and hook a girl up. My wardrobe palette has become a Backstreet Boys album; Black & Blue. The only thing to look forward to is Casual Fridays. xx<br />

We are finally starting to get some much needed rain here. I'm hoping it just down-pours because I seriously have the best rain-boots that my bf got me for Christmas last year, and I have yet to put those babies to good use. Talk about a major fashion crisis - Hunter/ Rag & Bone boots should not be collecting dust. E V E R. I just may need to slip them on when I get home, even if the rain has stopped, to warm them up. So Rain-Gods, if you are listening; bring it. Sincerely, Lauren. This is kinda how I know I made the right choice in moving back home because who else gets this amped about rain - only this girl. The part I could do without are the crappy drivers who freakout like they may die while trying to get anywhere in the rain. Imagine if we actually got real weather storms here, people would loose their shit. I on the other hand have more outerwear than any California girl actually needs, and probably put together my cutest outfits during fall and winter. Honestly though, whether you like the rain or not, we need it so bad. </div>

<br />
Is it just me, or was it just Halloween</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then it jumped to Christmas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What happened to Thanksgiving?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's only one of my all-time favorite holidays</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so please lets take a moment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
. . . . . . . . . . . .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
amen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait to stuff my face</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and for the first time in a couple years </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
not work on Black Friday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
AMEN to that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be rocking anything made with elastic </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and plan on overdosing on creamy-this</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and pumpkin-that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then I'll be okay with Christmas sneaking in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd be lying though if I didn't admit</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have wanted to listen to cheesy Christmas music</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
while at my desk BUT HAVE RESISTED<br />
and I have already made </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a shopping list of everyone's gifts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do want to stay a little ahead</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of all the crazy people out there,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
especially at Target.<br />
<br />
So let the count down begin<br />
Thanksgiving is in t-minus<br />
13 D A Y S !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bring on the yum yums.</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSR050nqN9djfi-JcKJJgSLfTfv3xEfyr7epYYXxwxaMU3I8zv0rmYN2H_IRrFVWaBxXjjvWWlWmapkrLwMLqG_PLDaKNZg1S4xSF_0WRMDn1ItF0CsJmb3hiRpbeYdLv4svztALoMDjuf/s1600/Nov13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSR050nqN9djfi-JcKJJgSLfTfv3xEfyr7epYYXxwxaMU3I8zv0rmYN2H_IRrFVWaBxXjjvWWlWmapkrLwMLqG_PLDaKNZg1S4xSF_0WRMDn1ItF0CsJmb3hiRpbeYdLv4svztALoMDjuf/s640/Nov13.jpg" title="llovestoshare: yeah, i've got a plan" width="492" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's nice to refresh little things around here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And as mush as I play with the idea of change,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
keeping this blog simple is the way I like it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the beginning of October </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I would check out Wordpress </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to start a blog for a new idea</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I just couldn't take to it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and missed my space over here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
llovestoshare is for my life. rants. outfits.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and my new baby <a href="http://figuresandthreads.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Figures and Threads</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is going to be for posting. selling. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my art and closet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How this idea came to be:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I enjoy drawing, painting, and shopping</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and can't keep it all so why not sell it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've wanted my own business since I was little.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't afford to open a real boutique</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but that is the great thing about the internet</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
no need for a brick-and-mortar,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they have URLs for that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since turning 25, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always thought that at this age</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would have accomplished more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have the big-girl job and have left the nest,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but there are still things I want to add to this list </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and this idea is one of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cheers to myself, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and to wherever this idea may take me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
funny how when you create a blog you have all these ideas for it </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and think about what you would like to achieve with it </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- and for what ever reason life happens, and things change, and none of it got accomplished.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i say this with a smirk on my face because in all reality it was due to me being lazy...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
too lazy to take pictures (which i love doing)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
too lazy to write (which actually comes pretty naturally if i don't over think it)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
too lazy to put the amount of time in that i use to spend in trying to make this perfect</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just keeping it real.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but as it says above - if you still talk about it, you still care about it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and i do - like, a lot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i made an industry change with my new job and i feel like i've been missing something.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
missing a creative outlet, missing a style identity that i worked really hard on through school,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
missing a space that brought me a lot a joy and passion</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so i'm back bitches, and i'm leaving the lazy out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
its time for a face lift, and a little filler around this blog.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

I am reach out in the hopes you may help me in trying to receive a trip back to Philly next month </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to visit the corporate Free People home office ( which is a huge dream of mine!! ).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am seeking help through the internet because I currently work 40 hours and sadly am unable </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to see anyone lately because I have been putting 120% of my time into my job // </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on top of my boyfriend currently being away at the Rim Fire (Yosemite, California) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so my off time is spent taking care of our dogs.</div>

I hope you can find a little time to help me out // To me this is much more than a contest, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it would be more of a blessing! I worked extremely hard to get my Free People job </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(persisting for over a month for even an interview) and then stepping up the past fews months </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to help manage our store in time of need, this would literally mean so much to me!!</div>

This month has definitely been a test of my inner strength. I'm going to be honest, I've been in a bit of a downer funk. I have had to work on staying positive and hopeful. Little things like working out, getting my Starbucks, and trying new beauty stuff are my ways of adding a bit of brightness to my week. My boyfriend and I have gone on quick local adventures too, which definitely helped me to realize the bigger picture and how thankful I am to live in such a beautiful area. Something that has come out of this funk: a better idea of what I want for my future.<br />

Happy Friday girls. I thought I'd share some of my favorite moments with my two fur babies. Smalls & Jameson. I am a huge sucker for dogs in general.. so I'm really not surprise that I find myself snapping more pictures of these two than I do of my ootds. They kinda melt my heart.<br />
<br />
Here is a little more about the boys.<br />
<br />
Smalls // Chihuahua // almost 5 yr old // Likes the taste of mom's iced coffee // Is afraid of bugs // Likes to be buried under blankets.<br />
<br />
Jameson // Saint Bernard-Lab-Mix // 15 weeks old // Likes to hold the leash on walks // Has good taste in shoes // Will sloppier on yoga pants.<br />
<br />
They are still getting use to each other [ more like Smalls is starting to warm up to Jameson's puppiness ] but over all I couldn't ask for better nature dogs. Both are huge lovers, full of cuddles and kisses. I'm definitely a lucky lady.<br />
<br />
<br />
Enjoy your weekend. xx <br />

Hope you ladies have a Happy Valentine's Day this year! Whether single or celebrating with someone special I hope you indulge in some sweets, or treat yourself to a mani/pedi. I have been pretty spoiled this year by my new bf. He surprised me by taking me to a San Jose Sharks' game the other weekend - which if you know me then you know that they are my all-time favorite team. And then today I received a special delivery of roses ( This is the first time I have ever received such a delivery) - I'd be lying if I said I didn't get a little giddy about it.<br />
<br />

Since I don't think he will read this before lunch, I'll share what I have planned for him. I decided to put together a picnic. We're talking a little appetizer, homemade caprese sandwiches, beer/champagne, and because I am more of a baker I made apple turnovers (<a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/apple-turnovers/detail.aspx" target="_blank">recipe here</a>).<br />
Simple but kinda classy, right?! I thought so. The location is a secret, but due to the warmer week we have been having here is the bay I think it will be just right! I'm sure I'll be <a href="http://instagram.com/llovestoshare" target="_blank">Instagramming away</a> about it so if you're curious make sure to look there. I'm definitely excited about it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Enjoy your Valentine's Day // weekend<br />

I hope you haven't been living under a rock for the past week.. BECAUSE it's NYFW!! I definitely went <a href="http://pinterest.com/llovestoshare/runway-worthy/" target="_blank">pin crazy</a> today with some of my favorites that have come down the runway. Even though I'm all the way in California, I have been day-dreaming that I was there trekking it through Nemo to all the fabulous shows. It is a goal of mine to one day be there!! I'll be the chick sitting within the first two rows at Marc Jacobs/ Marc by Marc Jacobs ((on the bucketlist)) - decked out in MJ because I have become an MJ snob. I am in complete envy of all the lucky ladies that I follow on Instagram that have been attending all week. To see these gorgeous shows in person has to be Ahh.mazingggg!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm obsessed with all of the feminine details. Knits, Furs, Silks, Done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll take all the heels and boots. One of each bag. Karen Walker sunnies, and all the outerwear. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fall is definitely my favorite season, and I would have no problem going broke to fill my closet up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Did you have a favorite show?! Were you one of the lucky one's to be there?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If so, can we be BFFs like now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I would definitely consider all the pieces below as trendy, but classic at the same time. Perfect for my style.<br />

I'm not going to lie, I always wished that my mom had put me into ballet as a little girl. The Top-knot is my favorite type of bun right now and I have gotten pretty good at making it nice and big. I'm thinking rocking a tutu and my top-knot for Halloween might be a consideration this year.</div>

A few of my favorite things: SEPTEMBER ISSUES, Starbucks, and Smalls ♥<br />
<br />
Magazine 101 - September Issues are the holiest-of-holiest issues, <u>FASHION BIBLES</u> , fall survival guides for all fashionistas.<br />
I pick up all of my copies down the street at Barnes & Noble and I'm pretty sure the guy at the counter thinks I'm crazy - But as a Fashion Marketing Graduate (holler!) these aren't just magazines.. they are like textbooks, and my time spent flipping through them is research. My Vogue copy is not in this shoot but it is amazing and I highly recommend picking it up. I plan on sharing more about these glossies once I finish them during recovery the next couple of days, so stay tuned.<br />
<br />
<br />
I want to thank <a href="http://www.facebook.com/KMSPhotos" target="_blank">KMS Photography</a> for these great shots. She did a wonderful job don't you think?!<br />

Side-note: I will be in surgery this morning.. and although I know that this is a pretty simple operation, I can't help but feel nervous. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope to bounce back quickly with no complications - fingers crossed. I know that I'm in good hands.</div>

Happy Monday. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since summer is winding down, I plan on posting pretty regularly now, and I thought it only right to fill you in on what has been going on since I graduated and moved back home. It was two months ago today that I, and my boyfriend at the time, packed up all my things and moved Smalls and I back up to the Bay Area. I knew I would be taking the summer off to enjoy my time with my family and friends, and I would be scheduling my surgery <a href="http://llovestoshare.blogspot.com/2012/05/reflecting.html" target="_blank">[READ HERE]</a>. Crazy how time flies by... Tomorrow morning (Tuesday August 21st) at 7:30 am I will be in the o.r. where I will be having two great doctors fix me up. I have quite a bit of recovery time ahead of me - which means lots more time for blogging/ pinning/ etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These past few months haven't been easy. I never mentioned on here that while going through all the chest stuff I also had two moles removed/ one turning out to be A-typical. To be honest, I was really angry at myself due to the fact that I am the only one to blame for the way I have treated my skin. Out of the situation I have two new scares to remind me that the sun is the real deal, and I am now encouraged to get all my moles checked every six months because I am at a higher risk of developing cancer. So basically I boycotted bathing suits and being in the sun this summer. Being tan for a couple of days makes no sense in the long run for me. I'm learning to embrace my fair skin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm also rediscovering my inner strength. Recently the boyfriend of almost 4.5 years and I broke up. I have so many mixed emotions that I won't share out loud (on the Internet), but from them I'm learning to focus on better things ahead of me and building up my confidence in myself. And I've got my little guy Smalls and thats really all I need right now.</div>

- I finally joined a gym! For the past 3 weeks I have been putting my pretty nikes to good use and kicking my butt into shape. I didn't want to focus on losing weight, but rather on toning. I have muscles that I didn't even know existed!! I joined with my stepsister and have been meeting with a trainer twice a week. The feeling after a PT session is amazing - I am so proud of myself and know that my hard work is paying off. The bummer part is that I have to stop due to surgery recovery BUT I will be back at it after. I am so driven to see the results that I want, and now that I know it's possible nothing is going to stop me.</div>

I share my stories in hopes of making at least one of you aware of topics that as young women we tend to block out and assume could never happen to us (especially in our 20's). I was that way before this year. I never took the time to educate myself on self breast exams and never really cared enough to feel for myself. If you have history of breast cancer in your family (OR even if you don't) I encourage you to pay attention, and as corny as it sounds, get to know your breasts. I would never wish that moment on anyone when the doctor finds something you didn't know was there. </div>

Same goes for your skin. There are so many ways to protect ourselves now - buy make-up with sunscreen in it, wear a hat/ sunglasses, take 5 minutes to put sunscreen on and re-apply later, etc. I went through a stage during my first two years at college where I thought that the tanner I was the prettier I looked - Stupid right?! Not only did I not wear any sunscreen and fry myself at the pool but I would then go do a stand up tanning bed. I can't go back in time and erase the damage I did to myself or continue to be upset about it - I can only protect myself now, be aware of my existing moles/freckles, and form a great relationship with my dermatologist. Hopefully most of you choose to be smart when outside and know that being tan is not everything..</div>

Neons are big this summer, especially in activewear. I have been dying over these Nike Free Runs for a while now and finally decided to splurge (they will be arriving this week). There is seriously something totally motivating about a bright, cheerful pink - right?!<br />
So with one of my new goals to push myself to get my fit on, I'm certain these beauties will help me put on a smile and get it done.<br />
Do you have any secret weapons (like bright shoes) to help you get motivated to hit the gym?<br />
<br />
I'm definitely ready to tone up, and in style.<br />

Mmm where did June go?! I have literally been non-stop the last four weeks that I am in disbelief of everything that took place. If you haven't seen on <a href="https://twitter.com/LLovestoshare" target="_blank">Twitter</a> or Instagram (@llovestoshare), I graduated college and have moved back to the San Francisco Bay Area. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The "big girl" chapter has begun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Recap of June:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Portfolio Show ( 6.13.12 ) // you can check out my work @ <a href="http://www.lauren-merrill.com/">www.lauren-merrill.com</a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Graduation ( 6.15.12 ) with Honors/ Dean's List/ Officer's Medallion</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- The big move ( 6.20.12 ) after 4 years of living in Orange County, I'm back home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Family time & Goodbyes throughout the whole month</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On a personal note - now that I am home I have been in the process of getting my surgery underway to remove <a href="http://llovestoshare.blogspot.com/2012/05/reflecting.html" target="_blank">my fibroadenoma lump</a> in August. I honestly feel that the past three months have truly tested my inner strength and I'm so ready to kick my body/mind into shape.</div>

<a href="http://web.stagram.com/n/llovestoshare/?vm=grid" target="_blank">Instagram:</a> Portfolio in InDesign// Almost finished wall for port show// Taking care of my Smalls// New business cards.<br />
<br />
As much as I would love to shoot new outfits everyday (goal for after grad.) my daily routine mostly consists of different things that need to be completed before my upcoming school portfolio show. I thought I would share a few recent pictures (via instagram) of what I work on when I'm not catching up on blog reading, posting, and commenting. I am in the process of finishing up my hardcopy portfolio, which will be sent off to print soon and put together in a pretty acrylic binder for the show/ future interviews. For the day of the show we are required to have a booth set up, so the bf built me a wall and painted it glossy white - it'll be my job to decorate, obviously. Between school, projects, and life, I also care for my little guy - who is my cuddle buddy when working away late on the computer. And one of the best parts of getting everything ready for the portfolio show is receiving different things in the mail - today it was my personal business cards. So happy with the way they turned out. I used <a href="http://moo.com/">moo.com</a> and highly recommend it. There will definitely be more pictures after the show (June 13th) to share.<br />

I kept it pretty simple this weekend because I have had a lot going on. Sometimes a fun pair of lounge pants is the way to go - especially when you're running errands all day. At first, I really wasn't into printed bottoms but I came across a couple pairs and knew I needed to have them (I'm sure I'll wear my Anthro ones in the coming month). Have you embraced the lounge pant trend? It's definitely a comfy one.</div>

Dresses: 1. <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/rmhm4v6" target="_blank">River Island Cocoon Skirted Dress with Bow Back - ASOS</a> // 2. <a href="http://rstyle.me/hd78umm4v6" target="_blank">ASOS Petite Exclusive Tulip Dress with Textured Stripe - ASOS</a> // and 3. <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/rphm4v6" target="_blank">Summer Fun Dress - Free People</a>.</div>

With my college graduation less than 30 days away, I have been on a mission to find the perfect little summer dress to wear to the ceremony (under my gown). I love the current tulip-shape trend, floral prints, and pops of colors - So now I need to make a final decision between the top three. I think I have already decided on a <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/rpim4v6" target="_blank">nude sandal</a> from <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/rpim4v6" target="_blank">Free People</a>, and I'll probably just wear my gold <a href="http://rstyle.me/fwfm2km4v6" target="_blank">Maya Brenner 'L' necklace</a> with a few bangles to finish off my outfit. </div>

I love to get your opinion, <u>which dress do you like better??</u> </div>

Besides the fact that my outfit is denim on denim (which I have been wanting to put together all season), it was also very late 70's. I think it was inspired by my recent obsession with Freaks and Geeks reruns - they've been on the Sundance channel all weekend. Anything with Jason Segal, Seth Rogen, and James Franco is a winner in my book. Judd Apatow sure knows what he is doing when creating shows (another obsession, Girls on HBO - anyone else hooked?). Speaking of shows... I'm also counting down to the new season of Pretty Little Liars / June 5th. What can I say, I just love their wardrobes and the continuous build up to who "A" is. Clearly my DVR and I are BFFs because I could go on and on about all the shows I watch. Do you find inspiration from any shows you watch? Favorites??</div>

My boyfriend gets frustrated sometimes (secretly I know he loves it) when we shoot because I move a lot and have a natural talent of making funny faces. It usually happens due to the fact that I never stop talking. What can I say, I have been a silly goose since I was born. I love to laugh and talk no matter who I'm with, or what I'm doing (life can't be so serious all the time). So even though I put my Zoolander face on for most of the pictures you see, I want you to know that there are probably twenty more with eyes closed and crooked-half open mouths. I hope as I continue to blog you will consider me as a regular friend, a normal-silly girl who happens to love clothes - A LOT, because thats exactly who I am. I'm really looking forward to getting to know some of you too - please feel free to leave your link below.</div>
