This year, I’m determined to dress like it’s autumn, even though the season only lasts about two weeks in Arizona.  So when I found this lightweight, oversized sweater at H&M, I knew I had to have it.

You would think that a tiny person in huge clothes would look ridic.  Well, you’re partially right.

Although the top pretty much consumes me, I threw in a few tricks to make sure I wasn’t swallowed whole.  I tucked in a corner of the sweater so I didn’t look like I was walking around pantless (pretty key, unless your name is Gaga).  It’s easy for the shorts to disappear behind all that fabric, but I prefer the bagginess to be balanced with something short and crisp.  The statement necklace breaks up the sea of blue and the wedges give me some much needed height.  The end result: comfy and chic combined.

first signs of fall.

Considering I live in Arizona where the temp doesn’t drop until November, I use the term “fall” pretty loosely.  But even though we’re still in the triple digits, there are hints of autumn all around (Sbux Pumpkin Spice Latte!).  From aisles of Halloween candy to racks full of coats (I start sweating just at the thought of outerwear in this weather), I can’t help but feel it’s time to put away the flip flops.

I’m left in a limbo of stylistic sorts.  It’s too hot to fully embrace fall fashion, but it’s too late in the year to be prancing around in a tank top and cut-off denim.  So after playing around in my closet last week, I accidentally concocted what might be the perfect solution.  I combined a lightweight frock (you can’t see it, but the cut of the upper half totally reads summer sundress) with a boldly patterned button-up shirt (last seen here).  Finally, the best of both worlds!

P.S. Don’t forget to give my new Facebook page some love and follow me on Twitter. 🙂

summer time!

I’m back!  2 weeks, 5 finals, and a case of sugar-free Red Bull later and summer is finally here!  I can’t explain how great it is to welcome back more carefree days, happy hours, and even the sweltering heat.  More importantly, I’m excited to get back at doing what I love to do most: working on my blog.

I hate to have left it unattended for so long, but I’m back in full force.  This is technically my last summer to truly enjoy myself before I graduate, cram for the bar, and enter the real world — so you better believe my summer plans will include some memorable (and excessively photographed) adventures.

For now, I’m kicking off the summer with bright prints, bold colors, and a big ol’ smile.  Summer feels good.  Real good.
