Life has been a little crazy lately and only gets crazier this week. This weekend, I watched my best friend tie the knot. She looked absolutely gorgeous and the wedding was BEAUTIFUL. The location could not have been more perfect, up in the mountains, surrounded by trees and wildflowers. I plan on sharing more pictures in an upcoming post, so stay tuned! 

This weekend, my cousin is getting married, so the wedding festivities continue. Who doesn't love a good wedding?

As for other life updates, I have been working a part time job this summer until the school year started. It's pretty fun and I hope to continue working some once I start subbing (first job is Wednesday). That means I will get up at 5:30 am and be at school until about 3ish, and then head to the part time job (about 2 to 3 times a week....maybe more?) at 5 until 9:45. Wooop! That makes for one long day! We'll see how it goes, but I'm sure there will be some complaining...which my family and boyfriend will loveeeeee! 

The weather here was pretty awful for a few days, with intense thunder showers and crazyyy lightening. I was so excited when the sun came out, as I was definitely not ready to say good bye to summer just yet. Since then, the weather has been back up in the 80's/90's, letting my summer wardrobe get a little more wear.

I got this skirt from DailyLook towards the beginning of summer, but haven't had the chance to wear it until recently. I love the vibrant color and the spliced front, but especially adore that underneath it all is a tiny pair of purple shorts, allowing this skirt to actually be wearable. I paired it with a cute denim tie/button up from Forever 21, my favorite wedges, and of course some jewels. 

You all know Lauren, from The Style Record (formally Sincerely, Lo), as she has made an appearance around these parts before (remember how she styled her awesome Palazzo Pants in her Yes...I Really Own That post HERE?). She is ridiculously adorable AND stylish, and I'm sort of obsessed with her blog. Lauren has the cutest etsy shop EVER, MintGem, where she sells her handmade jewelry. I love that all of her pieces are fun and unique. I especially adore her dainty little bracelets like the one she sent me here. It's the cutest little piece that can be worn with anything, and I know you will see it on the blog often! 

I am also rocking 'The Arrow Ring' (it also comes in gold!) from Wild Butterfly Boutique. I love how simple this ring is and love love love that I can also wear it as a midi ring!
