Soo sad the weekend is over but a bit excited for this week because temperatures will hopefully cool down a bit (it has been ridiculously hot in NJ, even hitting a record of 108 degrees in some places!) but mostly because that means I'm days closer to my 22nd birthday! Plans include dinners with friends, a picnic with my mom, and rowboats and adventures in Central Park with Brett. I'm so excited! Oh, and as a birthday present to myself, I decided to upgrade my laptop and purchased the new Macbook Pro. I was in dire need of a new laptop as my computer is on the verge of dying and felt this was probably the best time to upgrade considering I'll be starting law school in just one short month!

With this scorching heat, there is nothing better than a flowy dress and simple accessories to try and stay cool. To beat the heat a bit, Brett and I stayed indoors most of Saturday and watched Game of Thrones (i'm addicted!) while it was 100 degrees outside (seriously) and then on Sunday I walked around the city with Vida and discovered Limelight Market on 20th and 6th Ave which was seriously the coolest place I've ever been to. If you guys are in the area, you should definitely check it out and don't leave until you've eaten some gelato! (cappuccino crunch = swooooon!)

What are you guys looking forward to this week .... besides Friday that is? :)

Garden Dress

Dress - Free People, Shoes - Kenneth Cole, Earrings - Flea Market

Wearing this dress makes me feel a little like I'm wearing a garden and it reminds me of all the flowers my mom used to have in the house when I was younger that let me know spring had arrived. There would be a different bouquet as a dining room centerpiece every week and even though I thought taking care of flowers, watering them, and even talking to them (yes I caught my mother doing that once) was a hassle and a wee bit crazy, I loved being able to look at them as they instantly made me feel a bit better. Now that I'm older, I can appreciate flowers a lot more and I'm determined to have a different bouquet of flowers somewhere in my house all year round if I can. Who knows, maybe I'll even end up talking to them and encouraging them to grow. I'm more and more like my mother everyday. A little scary, but it might be a good thing. :)

Happy Wednesday!

Inspired by the Sunset

My mom and I always take long walks around the park when it's getting close to sunset because not only does it cool down significantly, but it offers the prettiest colors to gaze at while we're walking around. The way the sunset reflects on the water has to be one of my favorite things in the world.

 Looking at these pictures, I realized I dressed with similar colors to my surroundings. Pinks, blues, and light beiges. Best colors to mix and match and are accented beautifully by the sunset. Only bad thing about the sunset, it meant we were one day closer to Monday ... yuck.

My weekend was relatively low key and it felt kind of good not having anything to do. I watched at least 4 movies and basically snacked and lounged around all weekend. :) Bliss.

Oh and I now have a twitter! Follow me at @steFANYovals :)

Happy Monday!

Excuse the ridiculously wrinkly shirt in these pictures. My mother would definitely kill me if she saw this post (sorry mom!). Today is an AMAZING day. Why? Welllll, if you must know, I took my last final EVER!! Well ... until I get to law school. Ok so let me revise that. I took my last COLLEGE final! I'm practically giddy with excitement and to celebrate, my boyfriend and I went on a Redbox and supermarket run and picked up some snacks and rented Tron and Little Fockers. I can't wait to do nothing for the next couple of days. It actually feels weird not having to study for something. I might have to compile a summer to-do list just to keep myself busy ... or actually finish packing. Making a list sounds more fun.

 

 

Oh, also excuse my squinty eyes in this post. My allergies have been killing me lately and irregular sleep schedules haven't helped. 

This outfit reminds me of my elementary school days, specifically 7th grade, because I had to wear a light blue shirt and a beige bottom. Thankfully, I no longer have to wear uniforms and I can wear these colors because I want to. :) I'm so glad we've had such nice weather lately, I have a whole skirt collection that was dying to come out and see the outside of my closet and this lovely skirt is one of them. What do you guys think? 

Happy Wednesday!
