a day in the life

Guess who's going to New York in a couple weeks?!?
THIS GIRL! 
And I am beyond stoked, 5 days in the city with just my mama and meeting up with my friend from Switzerland.. good food, good clothes, good pictures!
Ah, I'm already dreaming about what I should pack. Any suggestions?

Yesterday I met up with Jenna from The Freckled Husky and had a blast.. seriously, we hit it off right away and I couldn't have asked for a better DIY partner in crime. :)

We started off our day searching through endless amounts of fabric and fringe and made our way to a thrift shop. And dude, lemme tell ya... we SCORED big time. Our carts were overflowing with old levis and vintage tees, we literally looked like hobos with the amount of stuff we had piled on top of them.


Yes... those are troll earrings. No.. unfortunately, I didn't get them. I was, however, considering wearing them with my prom dress.

Just kittttttten! 

After our thrifting adventure, we made it back to my house for some DIY projects.
Jenna's fringe shorts turned out so rad! And I am lovin' my RunwayDreamz inspired denim shorts.







And Miss Sweet Thang gave me one of her INCREDIBLE rings! I haven't taken the thing off.. I mean, common now, it's turquoise.


Shop Jenna's rings HERE!

And a few more of my DIY projects from yesterday/today








And I've still got more to show ya.. ha, this is quite a heavy post, I've been off having a life, so uh yeah.. :)

PS. I got asked to Prom in the most adorable way, ever.
A trip to a vinyl record store in Costa Mesa (where we met Spiderman), followed by lunch at The Gypsy Den.
Moseyed on over to Inspiration Point on Newport Coast and was serenaded by my guitar playing boy (who is recording his demo album this summer, woo!)
Up to this quaint little movie theater where spelled out above the water fountain was "PROM?" and the lady behind the counter gave me a bunch of roses. 
Yes, I am aware of how wrong this picture is...






It was wonderful, to say the least, and I am so EXCITED for PROM this coming weekend! 

And a few randoms from the week
Justin Bieber's coming out of his pants..



In honor of mother's day I had my mama pick the giveaway winner.. 
*drum roll please*


Congrats lady, an email will be sent your way :)

So excited that you're going to NYC! It is seriously my favorite place on the planet. Well, I haven't been to many other places so maybe I'm a little biased, haha. You'll definitely have lots of fun and pack lots of comfy but stylish sandals. NYC is absolutely beautiful to walk through in the summer. :)
