The title of this blog post not only states my melancholy feelings towards the changing seasons, but also my absolute OBSESSION with Lana Del Rey's Summertime Sadness. I would be lying if I told you I didn't have this song on repeat for the past month in a half orrrr that I blast it while driving and sing at the top of my lungs. Yeah, it's definitely a thing, guys. Lana's voice is eerily beautiful and the lyrics are fantastic...

"I got my red dress on tonight

Dancing in the dark, in the pale moonlight

Done my hair up real big beauty queen style

High heels off, I'm feeling alive"

Case in point.

Anywayssss, I wore this outfit in Hawaii back in March, but for some reason none of the pictures turned out. It was pretty depressing, but luckily, it was the perfect outfit for date night with the boy and allowed for photo op number 2.
When I saw these shorts at Hope's, I became obsessed and went to order them immediately, when of course, they were completely sold out. I was devastated. Is that not one of the worst feelings everrrrr, guys? I started stalking the Hope's website hoping for a re-stock, but once they re-stocked they sold out of my size in minutes. It was at that moment that I knew I needed to step up my game. I was at work when I received the email announcing a final re-stock and knew this was my last chance. I set my alarm and waited, refreshing the Hope's website repeatedly, until I alas, they put them up and I snagged a pair in my size. Score!
The pictures don't do these shorts justice, as they are a bright, vibrant orange. I paired it with a sheer tank, black bandeau, nude wedges (yeah....I wear these WAY too much!), and a turquoise necklace for a little pop of color.
Fall doesn't officially begin until September 22nd and I'm milking whats left of summer for as long as I can.

The only picture from Hawaii of this outfit that turned out. My sister and I sure make cute faces...

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!

I Follow Rivers & a Giveaway! {CLOSED}

 Dress: 'Blue Lines and Stripes Sleeveless Maxi' c/o DivaNY

'Iced Gold Lariat Necklace' - Bauble Bar

Shoes: 'Kallie Toe Ring Sandals' - Maurices 

Ring: Green Gemstone - Anthropologie (old)

The title of this post is referring to this song ^ 'I Follow Rivers' By Lykke Li, one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES everrrr. For some reason, when I saw this dress, this is the first song that popped into my head. Maybe it's because the ethereal feel of this gauzy little maxi perfectly matches the mood of the song, or maybe I'm just crazy, but there is something quite magical about Lykke Li's voice and something almost as magical about this dress. The floaty fabric, the pretty print and the low back are everything that makes up a perfect maxi. I am only sad that summer is coming to an end so I won't be able to wear it every single day. Maybe a tropical vacation is in order this winter just so I can take this dress along? Sounds like a pretty good plan to me.

For Labor Day festivities, I paired it with simple sandals, my bauble bar tassel necklace, and the CUTEST little dainty chevron necklace from Wild Butterfly Boutique. This little gem is the perfect addition to just about any outfit, and to be honest, I haven't taken it off since I received it. You all know I love my little online boutiques, and Wild Butterfly Boutique is one of the best new jewelry boutiques around. They carry some of the cutest jewelry options from dainty rings to whimsy mustache pendant necklaces that you will be dying to add to your accessory collection.
