Ah, the Color of Friendship

First and foremost... Happy summer to me! Jealous? I bet.

Do you love fashion jewelry? I love fashion jewelry. So much that I bought myself some lovely friendship bracelets. Nothing makes me happier than seeing hardware mixed together with some pretty colors. Damn, I am so on trend, people.

First up: the neutrals

Both from Macy's

Second: the brights

Both from JC Penney

All of these lovelies added together cost me under $35. Are there bells ringing in your head? DEAL DEAL DEAL.
Now head on over to your local Macy's and JC Penney because I'm sure there will be a plethora of bracelets just like these to buy your pretty little self.

Cheap Alternatives: the Birkin

"I want to be rich, and I want lots of money..."
Lily Allen's "The Fear" is definitely floating about in my head at the moment.

We've all seen the coveted Hermes Birkin bag in photographs, hanging delicately on the arms of Victoria Beckham, Rachel Zoe, and the Kardashian sisters. The structure, the material, the metal hardware... Whether it's a neutral color to match everything or a bright, zesty color to make any outfit pop, it's hard to go against the following statement: it's a beauty.

And now it can be yours! Well, not really. But we can pretend, right?

Aldo offers some really great deals on some lovely looking structured bags that seem to have been designed with Birkin in mind. You won't find the amazingness that IS Birkin, obviously, but these are a great and (much) cheaper alternative to a pretty, structured bag.

Find (and BUY!) them here.

Photo Log: Finals Edition

Writing this post is unthinkable at this time. I've come to realize that I will do anything (including sleep) to stay away from the textbooks and notebooks...

It's finals week. I could cry.

So here's me letting you know why I haven't had too many fabulous posts as of late.
By the way, I love me some instagram!

Enjoying the beautiful weather (when I can)

Reading too much Nylon Magazine... But how cute are those sunglasses?!

I need some (knockoffs) STAT.

Finals week is slowly killing me.

And this is how I've gotten by... Red Bull, a bit of partying, and painting my nails (color: Myrtille by Sephora) to ease some tension.

Bought these flowers for my boyfriend's mother... so beautiful! Nothing like some pretty flowers to cheer you up.

Obligatory switching up of the fruit... I mean, come on, how could I not?

Et voila.

I sincerely hope that you're having more fun this week than I am!
