Bring Me Down

Hello friends :) First of all, I want to thank everyone who has followed me up until now. Who has been for a long time or who have just joined me. Every new follow/comment makes me smile. Especially since I have an iPhone and have access to my email all day long. I'm doing my best to just keep up with everything :)




Also weird, I seem to have gotten obsessed with using this smiley face :D I don't know why. I've never really used it in my life. So sorry if your comments are ":D" heavy. As a smiley, I just think he's so cute and happy. And I never know: what's the proper way to use a smiley AND punctuate a sentence? Because I never use punctuation if I use a smiley and just let the smiley stand in for the punctuation. But, I'm probably over thinking, since no one probably cares.

I'm finally (for the most part) caught up on my school things. I learned my lesson and will be trying super super hard not to procrastinate and get behind again. It's just so hard when Robert comes to town and summer is so close! My school is on quarters, so I've got about three and a half weeks left. Ah. And, I got a bunch of stuff back in my Architecture History class. Poised at an A even though I was so so sure I had a B. That made my day.



I wore both the shorts and this shirt not too long ago, but separately. I just can't get enough of this shirt paired with different blues. I bought this shirt on a bit of a whim and am so in love with it. I've found with thrifting that sometimes, the things I buy off-handedly become my favorite things.

I've also been seeing these H&M strappy heels floating around on the web and have been loving them, so I decided to invest in my own pair, since I got paid on Friday. I'm happy, since I anticipate wearing them to death this summer. Also, I have super muscular calves, if you haven't ever noticed before:





shirt: thrifted
shorts: thrifted
cardigan: thrifted
belt: thrifted
nude tights: H&M
shoes: H&M
headband: F21


PS, I'm trying to get back into tumbling again. Tumblr is such an amazing source of inspiration. Also, I've been trying to post every other day because I've found that to be comfortable for me--and leaves me time to go around and comment. Is there a certain frequency you guys prefer/like to stick to yourselves? I'm interested to know.

  8. This outfit is really adorable. I love your little headband. I've been seeing those little head bows all over the inter-webs and I really need to get my hands on some.

  9. I love the blues! And those shorts are so perfect. I need to get more shorts They're just so comfy and wonderful. I usually blog every day because I have no life. haha no. actually I'm like super busy but I always make time for it because it's so much fun. Actually, I take Saturday's off because I stay by Jamesface house. I actually thought the same thing about the smilies!! I think it looks too cluttered with a smilie AND an ending punctuation mark. But I'm pretty much the worst at punctuation. I just ramble and randomly stick commas in ahha. I'm probably the universe's fastest typer so I just bang it all out in hyper-speed.

    Also, my one job, which is like all day and night is a personal trainer.. like one on one. Early morning I do a group "boot camp" class haha. So it's two training jobs.

  11. That shirt is indeed lovely. :) It looks very sailor-y, which I think is always a good thing as far as blue-dominated outfits go. You have such a nicely cut fringe too, by the way; I've never had my bangs that nice!

    I know what it's like when summer is just around the corner and you're itching so bad to get out of school. I just had all my finals this week so I'm totally ready to dive into a fun, eventful summer. :) Good luck with your academics, Lea! :)

  20. Oooh :D is also my favourite smiley! It makes =D look oddly mature, :) too reserved (sometimes kind of creepy, as if you were hiding something) and :-) something that only your middle-aged but well-meaning English teacher would use... the only other smiley I like almost as much as :D is 8D, but it can only be used in small doses! And about punctuation, I feel best putting the smiley after a sentence, its punctuation, and a space. :D

  21. Ah, I love, love love that shirt!! And are these the high-waisted shorts you were talking about? I'm so glad you finally wore them! Oops, I hope it wasn't my excessive ":D" that got to you, I use it excessively and I'm completely shameless about it, see -> :D
