Military Style

Hello!

I know, I know, its been WEEKS since my last post! Once again school has gotten the best of me, and every time I sit down at my computer I'm either reading the news or studying..with all this talk about taking potential military action in Syria, I honestly can't say what I believe would be best. With over 2 million Syrians displaced, and the UN confirming that the chemical weapons did in fact come from the government, it is obvious that someone needs to step in, but I also believe that this should include the United Nations, if not the world condemning the Assad regime and stepping in rather than the US acting alone..I'm sorry to bring this up its just my inner political scientists rambling once again, not to mention this is a huge international conflict! Do you guys have any thoughts on the issue?

Now on a different note! There's just something so effortless about throwing on a pair of camo or military style pants with a tank, a jacket with a LBD or chiffon dress that's just so easy...I know what your thinking, its just camo pants or just a military jacket but I love that these pieces can give a laid back, tomboy chic vibe without having to try so hard. I love that its an easy alternative to jeans or a jeans jacket, well an alternative to anything thats simple enough to switch up your look without looking too dramatic!

Here's some looks that I love and are so easy to recreate!

4th of July Recap!

Hope everyone had a fantastic 4th of July! Mine was pretty low key this year, the beau and I went to my cousins house for a little backyard BBQ and ended the night riding our bikes to the pier to see the fireworks.

 Usually I don't get too festive but this year I felt like dressing up a little for the 4th! I wore the Chili flake lipstick from Jcrew and it is the PERFECT red for summer! It has more of an orangy undertone but it just looks tomato red when you put it on! And it stays put forever!!! I bought a nautical striped top from F21 and wore some DIY cut off shorts by Levi's, threw on some white converse and done! 4th of July ready! My bag was a recent find from Urban Outfitters, talk about a steal- it was $4.99 on Sale! Who doesn't love a fun little clutch? Plus I felt like I needed some color in my life

I know its a little late to ask, but how was everyone else's 4th?

Sum Sum Summa time

Today is the last day of my online statistics class! YIPPEE!!! So with that, I CAN NOT WAIT to fully indulge in summer time now! I want the sun, lazy mornings, farmers market, bike rides, bbq's and BIKINI'S!!!!

I have yet to book a trip this summer (aside from a recent trip to San Diego & Durango) but I am lusting after somewhere tropical and hot! But let's be real, who doesn't want that!?

Here's to the start of summer, for me at least!
Cheers
