Another go-to outfit of mine involves slouchy, off-the-shoulder tops paired with cotton shorts.  On busy days where getting dressed is the least of my worries (this happens a lot when you wake up 15 minutes before class), I can count on these staples to carry me through the day.

But when I do have time to look at myself in the mirror before I head out the door, I clean up the look with a bold statement necklace and a pair of jeweled sandals.  I love the turquoise tear-drop beads on this necklace because it commands attention regardless of whatever else I may be wearing.

Now, if I only could start waking up when my alarm clock tells me to.

knick knacks.

I’ve been spending an inhumane amount of time at my desk hunching over textbooks and clutching highlighters, so I thought it would be refreshing to peruse a few of my favorite online stores for some kitschy desk decor.  After all, there’s nothing like some online window shopping to procrastinate my studies.

My favorite find: the Facebook stamps!  While FB doesn’t actually have a “Dislike” button, I would love to use that stamp all over my school books and notes right about now.

blazin' stripes.

So I definitely spoke to soon when I said spring was over.  This past weekend, we got hit with some unexpected April showers, which reduced the temp to blazer-worthy weather.  I’m not a big fan of the cold, but I’ll jump at the opportunity to wear my jackets a few more times before they go back into hibernation.

The bold navy & white stripes makes this blazer borderline circus ringmaster (as my bf lovingly refers to it), so I toned it down with a solid gray tank and flowy white skirt.
