<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">The worst thing about being a neuroscience major are the tests. Seriously. I understand that they expect us to want to know the material, but I don't know when in my life I will ever have to be able to recite the <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0f/Amino_acids.png" target="_blank">twenty amino acids</a> or the <a href="http://www.bio.miami.edu/tom/courses/protected/MCB6/ch12/12-03.jpg" target="_blank">glycolysis cycle</a>. However, I can't exactly rebel against my Professor and refuse to take the test, so I've spent my weeks studying and cramming my head with lots of biology terminology. By the time the test came around, there was no way I was going to take it in any sort of actual outfit. Luckily, no one on campus bats an eye at probably the fiftieth girl that they've seen in a sweatshirt and leggings. So I threw on my comfiest shirt (with just a hint of sass), my trusty leggings, and a cozy pair of socks and boots.</span></div>

<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Hi there! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">As much as I hate to admit it, I'm the queen of impulse purchases. Specifically, those purchases you make when you're waiting in line and are surrounded by bins of pretty things. A few months ago, I was at Urban Outfitters, and sure enough, as I was waiting in line, I started browsing through their various knick-knacks. Although I managed to put most of the things I had picked up down, I couldn't resist picking up this brush:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp7dEJ93SKT1WKx8Ieu-WqihcgbGfxq5oWAWjh44o2v8HZ0NF7Atayu7c7FfhXMg8cvKXu4IHsjoRt1rMaIYnh2r-tBQX1sjOeevERt5xNnBFXuil0znEgEmlHYJYse5DOKyTXb2Mb02o/s1600/tangle_teezer+39220.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp7dEJ93SKT1WKx8Ieu-WqihcgbGfxq5oWAWjh44o2v8HZ0NF7Atayu7c7FfhXMg8cvKXu4IHsjoRt1rMaIYnh2r-tBQX1sjOeevERt5xNnBFXuil0znEgEmlHYJYse5DOKyTXb2Mb02o/s320/tangle_teezer+39220.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">It was blue, and pink, and I had vaguely recalled hearing that the brand was cool. When I opened it up at home and used it, it was love at first site. Normally, I'm not able to brush my hair when it's dry, because it ends up being a completely frizzy mess. However, one swipe of my Tangle Teezer and my hair still retained its wave. Needless to say, I was very impressed. I don't think I've picked up another type of brush since!<br />Lately, school has been very difficult. Having been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, I've spent the semester dealing with various side effects and never-ending exhaustion. Plus, way too many bio tests. Therefore, nothing made my week more than receiving a surprise package from the lovely folks at <a href="http://www.tangleteezer.com/index.php" target="_blank">Tangle Teezer</a>. To my delight, I opened the box to find two other brushes from their line: <i>the compact styler </i>and <i>the aqua splash.</i> To say that they lived up to my expectations is an understatement. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgljX3b8SuoQ7oGpiEHG9ixjZB4rB6g7D_dYAs6DWqvB64WRG7qNwfzwSmCfcuYgK4rCx1wvvK3ZV4oCg9pnxdYsFKA97PHPAefPGckFK7yCoJLrHTcO4qnZDaBKv8kdvi7VaJF5HuSHsU/s1600/IMG_6121.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgljX3b8SuoQ7oGpiEHG9ixjZB4rB6g7D_dYAs6DWqvB64WRG7qNwfzwSmCfcuYgK4rCx1wvvK3ZV4oCg9pnxdYsFKA97PHPAefPGckFK7yCoJLrHTcO4qnZDaBKv8kdvi7VaJF5HuSHsU/s320/IMG_6121.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">The compact styler has to be one of the most ingenious inventions ever. Seriously. It comes in two pieces, one of which serves to protect the bristles when you're not using it. Having tried way too many awful travel brushes; I was ecstatic to receive this one. I love to travel, and brushes always seem to take up half of my toiletry bag. And when you're backpacking through India, you want to maximize as much space as possible. I love that I can just throw this brush in my bag and not have to worry about the bristles. Plus, it's really shiny. Which is definitely a bonus.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2ljUVXicc-wOYnhG9FPyQvMEuUBqqBi1tpVeLo7qPXPRly6_mNirxvct4XdmfF4QhRyWrj4mXR5_ILeTu7BYgPVFateKAU-RZF2BuF4MzYAO1FFdNvUNZM2eMDEpVqqi7GG76ZDrEMBM/s1600/IMG_6126.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2ljUVXicc-wOYnhG9FPyQvMEuUBqqBi1tpVeLo7qPXPRly6_mNirxvct4XdmfF4QhRyWrj4mXR5_ILeTu7BYgPVFateKAU-RZF2BuF4MzYAO1FFdNvUNZM2eMDEpVqqi7GG76ZDrEMBM/s320/IMG_6126.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> The second brush that they sent me is the aqua splash, which is a completely waterproof brush that you can leave (and not have to worry about) in your shower. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqrrp8Y-VGlQ0xbDAjbEINi2_dzottLiovXRMl5p5OHNA_JXlooO2vnCmOz_t86eKoky7rY08R1_s8bCPOyytZWwFWtDqGQ04PpDhBgBg4AbpFd229DoDlmg9U5NcS0y6c8_GeQzfvJmw/s1600/tangle_teezer+39099.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqrrp8Y-VGlQ0xbDAjbEINi2_dzottLiovXRMl5p5OHNA_JXlooO2vnCmOz_t86eKoky7rY08R1_s8bCPOyytZWwFWtDqGQ04PpDhBgBg4AbpFd229DoDlmg9U5NcS0y6c8_GeQzfvJmw/s320/tangle_teezer+39099.jpg" width="213" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Because it's completely hollow, you don't have to worry about gross mildew build up, which is fantastic. As someone who has taken to only washing her hair once or twice a week, I like to make sure that when I do, my hair gets a thorough treatment. Although I would comb my conditioner through my hair, I was always skeptical as to whether I was actually able to coat all of my hair. Plus, I seemed to always end up with conditioner residue. After using this brush, however, I am over the moon. I don't think my hair has ever been this soft, and it also felt like getting a mini scalp massage in the shower :) <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOhGHQSsvAv5MPVvHKPaWGbmQDAj-kmh8PuHoTFGbDxrnfkiXP0F-fW3PaUNklbasQLflrrLyXAGwqAhyphenhyphen7wwB4DhHZilbUWmv0mYlofrADbIHt-5slew1QIo2REnD_Ve7L7Y_IWSp6Zp4/s1600/IMG_6149.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOhGHQSsvAv5MPVvHKPaWGbmQDAj-kmh8PuHoTFGbDxrnfkiXP0F-fW3PaUNklbasQLflrrLyXAGwqAhyphenhyphen7wwB4DhHZilbUWmv0mYlofrADbIHt-5slew1QIo2REnD_Ve7L7Y_IWSp6Zp4/s400/IMG_6149.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Anyway, I'm so glad that I was able to add these brushes to my arsenal, and I highly recommend them. Seriously, you'll never go back to normal brushes! I'm sure several of my friends will be getting these as stocking stuffers, and I can't wait to get my hands on some of their "magic flowerpots" for the girls I babysit!</span></div>

<i><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">When I'm at school, it seems as though I can wake up on a Sunday, and in the blink of an eye it will be Friday. Time seems to pass incredibly quickly, except for when I'm in Organic Chemistry. Consequently, I rarely find time to pull myself together, opting for leggings and a muscle tee over an actual outfit. But with the weather being so nice lately, I had to take advantage of it. Since I was running late to class (as it seems I always am....maybe I should stop taking so many naps), my top knot ended up making me look a little bit like a Dr. Seuss character, but I decided to just go with it, because hey, it kept my hair out of my face during class :) I promise I'll have more posts up soon!</span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">I have now been at college for exactly 5 weeks. It feels like I've been here for months. I swear I will try to write a real post this weekend (I feel like the boy who cried wolf over here!) but I have so much to talk about and so many outfits to share :) So, in the meantime, here is one of my pre- horrible Allentown weather outfits!</span></div>

I've been at school for about a week and a half, and it feels like I never left. It's good to be home. As per usual, I'm behind on posting (how am I constantly busy? What am I actually doing with my time), so here are a few photos from the week before I left, and there will be many more photos to come from 'Berg :)</span></div>

<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">When it comes to doing my nails, I can be quite lazy. I regularly make vows to myself to either stop biting my nails, get them done every week, or take off the polish once it starts to chip, but I never follow through with them. That's why when I do actually paint my nails, I have one product that I absolutely adore. Besides waiting for the polish to dry, my least favorite part of doing my nails would be attempting to remove all the polish with nail polish remover. I have an affliction to cotton balls, so I would try to use paper towel, and it would end up shedding everywhere. Enter e.l.f. nail polish remover pads. I randomly picked them up one day at Target, since they were only two dollars. When I used them, I was amazed by the product. They come in a set of 12, and I can use one pad to clean off all ten nails. Although they have a little bit of a weird smell, it's nothing compared to acetone. They also don't sting, which is a problem that I would run into a lot (I may or may not bite my cuticles...). I would highly recommend these, because there's really no better way to remove nail polish. The pads are mess free, and way more inexpensive than other nail polish removers. </span></div>

<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">My other big birthday present this year was a new pair of sneakers. I have a pair of Nike Frees that I wear to the gym, and I wanted to get another pair that I'd wear on a more daily basis. They weren't at the top of my list, but when I saw that Nike was doing a collaboration with Liberty of London, I knew I had to get a pair! I was able to customize them on the Nike website, and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. Although they're a little bit more blue than I thought they'd be, they're super comfy and I know I'll get some good wear out of them!

<span style="color: #8e7cc3;"> A new school year always brings change. This year, the big change was getting glasses. Bad eyesight runs in both sides of my family, so it was pretty inevitable that I would eventually have to get glasses. Although I can see pretty well, they'll be helpful for seeing the board and driving. I'm just lucky I don't have to wear them all the time! I had to quickly find a pair before I left, and I decided on these Oliver Peoples. It's a frame I never would normally have chosen, but I'm glad they got them (and I think they make me look smarter!). So far it's been an interesting experience, and I hope I adjust to them soon!</span></div>

<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">One of my favorite ways to procrastinate is by online shopping. I love hunting for deals, and have been known to cross check items across many different websites. :) I'm also signed up for websites like Gilt and Hautelook, and when I'm really putting off work, I check my email for their daily deals. Awhile ago, I randomly checked Gilt and saw that they were having a Marc by Marc Jacobs sale. Never one to pass up an opportunity to get a Marc Jacobs back, I immediately checked out the sale. When I saw this bag, I fell in love. I've been looking for a nice camera bag for ages, and haven't had much success. Although this is still a little tight for my T3i and lens, I couldn't be happier! Even though this sale was months ago, we decided to put it away until my birthday. And I have to say, the wait made it that much better :) I can't wait to start using it, and my 19th Birthday is off to a very good start!</span></div>

<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">In less than 12 hours, I will be back in Pennsylvania, moving into my dorm. It's crazy to think how fast this summer has gone, and I'm still not quite ready to let go of my summer mindset. For the most part, it was a great summer - I got to go to the beach for the first time in years, and I was kept busy with seeing friends and work. I'm dreading the idea of going back to organic chemistry and calculus, but I'm hoping that the transition won't be too bad ;) and since I just love Ocracoke so much, I can't resist sharing some photos from the trip! More can be found on <a href="http://instagram.com/ameliabedelia__" target="_blank">my instagram</a>, too :)</span></div>

<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">I know I've been terrible lately with keeping up with my blog. I'm pretty sure everything I've posted lately a third grader could write, and I apologize for that. Coming back from vacation, I've plunged head first into the week-before-college chaos. My days have been filled with doctors appointments (some good, some bad), packing, seeing friends, and of course, some birthday celebrations :) It's been crazy, and when I come home I usually last five minutes before I pass out; which means that there has been little time for blogging. Hopefully I'll get back on track soon, and have a couple fun posts up. </span></div>

<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">In New York, it's already starting to feel like fall. I've worn jeans the past few days, and carried around a heavy cardigan. Between the rain and the cooler temperatures, I feel as though summer is slipping away from me. And the weather is going to be even worse in Pennsylvania. So for now, I'll try and hold onto the memories of sitting and reading on the beach, and try to get some final uses out of my summer wardrobe. </span></div>

<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">A while ago, FACE Stockholm sent me a couple products to review. I wrote about the nail polish <a href="http://ameliaplummer.blogspot.com/2013/08/holographic.html" target="_blank">here</a>, and the other product they sent me is their latest <a href="http://www.facestockholm.com/search.asp?productid=1339" target="_blank">Dream Cream Eyeshadow</a>. Overall, I was very happy with the product! It glides on like a dream, and the color stays all day. I was sent the color Siden, which is an opalescent grey-pink. Since Siden is such a light shade, it did require some building up, but the end result is a beautiful neutral that can be paired with anything.</span></div>

<span style="color: #8e7cc3;"> Another bonus with this eyeshadow is that it is both waterproof and paraben free. I have a tendency to rub my eyes, so anything that's waterproof is an extra bonus for me! And although I'm not the best when it comes to buying natural products, I do want to try to be more responsible about what I'm using, so the paraben free part is a plus.</span></div>

<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">This week I'm finally back in Ocracoke, North Carolina. As much as I'm a city girl, there's still a part of me that feels most at home on the beach. My family and I used to go to Ocracoke every year, and this is the first year since 2009 that I've been able to go back. Whether it's taking a walk to the Pirate's Chest or Albert Styron's Store (abbreviated ASS, of course), buying my groceries at the Variety Store, or going out on the porch to find, gasp, actual <i>constellations</i> in the sky, I am so happy to be back here. I've been spending my days taking photos, reading on the beach, catching up on <i>Orange is the New Black,</i> and boogie boarding. More photos and posts will be up soon, but for now I'm enjoying my little bit of vacation before I head back to school! </span></div>

<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">When it comes to nail polish, I'm usually a creature of habit. I frequently fall back on my trusty bottle of Essie's <i>Tart Deco</i>, and if I'm not sporting that, it's usually a similar pastel shade. However, <a href="http://www.facestockholm.com/" target="_blank">FACE Stockholm</a> recently sent me one of their newest <a href="http://www.facestockholm.com/search.asp?Mode=Product&ProductID=1330" target="_blank">Holographic Nail Polishes</a> to check out. I chose the shade <a href="http://www.facestockholm.com/search.asp?Mode=Product&ProductID=1330" target="_blank">Athena</a>, which is a silvery shade reminiscent of holographic sticker sheets. At first I was a little nervous about trying such an eye-catching shade, but after trying it out, I am head over heels in love.</span> </div>

I like this polish so much because even though my nails are a little out there, the color is so well done that they don't end up looking tacky or childish. The best part, though, is that I only have one coat of the nail polish on. <i>One. Coat.</i> When someone is as lazy as me, being able to get an opaque finish in one coat is a godsend. I am so glad I tried this product, and can't wait to try other nail polishes by FACE Stockholm. If they are anything like this one, Essie has a run for it's money as my favorite brand! I would highly recommend purchasing this polish, because it is well worth it. It only takes a one coat, dries quickly, and lasts for days without chipping. :)</span></td></tr>

<span style="color: #8e7cc3;"> Last weekend made me realize just how much I missed my friends from college. When I'm not seeing them every day, it's easy to forget just how close we all were. Luckily, I got to feel like I was right back at school on Monday. I started the afternoon by I counting down the minutes until I could leave work, because I was so exhausted from all of the festivities. But of course, going home so quickly was apparently not an option :) I don't know how, but some of my campers managed to convince me to have a playdate with them. Somehow, I ended up at their house with another co-worker, and before I knew what exactly was happening I was being served Phish Food and being asked to play with dolls. It was a lot of fun, even though I couldn't stay for very long. My friend Gaby (who will be my lovely, lovely photographer next year at school!) and I had tentatively made plans to hang, and I was so excited when I realized we could actually go meet up at Georgetown Cupcake :)</span></div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: small;">I went home to change before meeting up with her, and grabbed the first dress I could find. Apparently Gaby and I were on the same wavelength, because we both ended up showing up in white dresses and elephant necklaces :) It was nice to spend an evening with her, especially because it ended with getting free coffee. We also managed to meet up with a bunch of other girls from school, including my roommate! It was so nice to be able to see everyone, and Monday night made me realize that it's important (especially during the summer) to take some time to my self and have a little fun. :)</span><br />

<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">To this day, I'm still scared of black eyeliner. I only just became brave enough to try winged eyeliner a few months ago, and am still not sure as to whether or not I actually pull it off. It also seems that I am perpetually tired, which means that I am constantly rubbing my eyes. Although I've heard great things about Urban Decay's black 24/7 glide on eye pencils, I'm still too scared to try anything other then a pen liquid liner. Up until a week ago, MAC's <i>rapidblack penultimate eye liner</i> was the only black eyeliner I used, because I had received it one year for Christmas and it worked like a charm. However, when at Duane Reade with my friend <a href="http://makingupaface.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Emma,</a> she suggested I buy Jordana's FabuLiner Liquid Eyeliner. I followed her suggestion, and was pleasantly surprised with the product. Immediately, it reminded me of my rapidblack, so I decided to compare the two.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">The <i>fabuliner</i> has a thicker brush, which means that it has less control. Along with this, it's not completely opaque on the first shot, which means there's more room for error. I find that when applying this, the line will end up being much thicker than anticipated due to the fact that I have to go over it two or three times. The <i>fabuliner</i> brush is also quite stiff, which means that it doesn't follow the shape of your eyelid as easily as the <i>rapidblack</i> does. The <i>rapidblack</i> has a thinner brush, and tends to be more opaque. I also find that it fades less than the <i>fabuliner.</i> However, at 2.99, the <i>fabuliner </i>is roughly 16 dollars cheaper than the <i>rapidblack</i>. Although I prefer MAC's <i>rapidblack, </i>Jordana's <i>fabuliner</i> is definitely a great drugstore dupe for it. The <i>fabuliner</i> is great for every day wear, but when you want more precision, the <i>rapidblack </i>really takes the cake. Overall, I'm happy having both of these in my arsenal, and definitely plan on using both on a daily basis. I would suggest getting either of these, because you won't be disappointed. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">I had an unexpectedly fantastic weekend this week, and it was the perfect end to yet another exhausting week at camp. Unfortunately, a lot of the photos taken at camp haven't been posted online yet, so I can't put them here. Along with it being CIT Appreciation day this week, the CIT show also happened. I made a guest appearance (surprising the campers, who thought I wasn't in the show) and was the host of <i>Thursday Night Live.</i> Although it meant pulling a couple 13 and 14 hour days at camp, it was definitely worth it to see the kids faces. I finished off the week with a cast party, and then a trip up to Westchester to see friends from school. I didn't realize just how much I missed everyone until I saw them, and it was amazing being able to catch up with everyone. It makes me really want to go back to school. Anyway, here are some photos from the week.</span></div>

<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">In general, I am a very lazy person. Unfortunately, this means that more often than not, my hair gets pulled up into a pony tail, because I'll fall asleep with it wet and it'll be a frizzy mess when I wake up. There's nothing I love more than having my hair in beautiful braids, but I don't have the talent or time to do that on a regular basis. However, I may have finally found a way to make my hair look good with minimal effort on my part. A while back, I received a sample of Living Proof's anti-frizz styling cream, and I used it religiously. The only problem was that after I used up my sample, I threw away the container without looking at the name. Needless to say, I've spent the last year trying to remember the name of this product, and trying various other brands to no avail. Luckily, I got an email last week from Sephora, advertising Living Proof. As soon as I looked at the email, I knew this was it, and immediately ordered a full size bottle of the anti-frizz styling cream, along with one of Sephora's Beauty Insider Perks, which included several other products from the line. I received the products at the end of last week, and have fallen in love all over again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;"> Usually, when I put product into my hair, it's easy to tell. My hair will become weighed down, or will appear greasy. This means that for the most part, I've given up on trying products, especially ones that boast the ability to make your hair shiny and sleek. Living Proof's products are pretty much the only ones that I can put in my hair. The products feel completely weightless, but manage to keep my hair in natural waves and feeling silky smooth. I've now found my favorite way to do my hair, and it allows me to compromise between having my hair up, and then having it fall down in beautiful, natural looking waves.</span></div>

<span style="color: #674ea7;">Once my hair is completely dry, I take it out of the top not and gently loosen the waves. I apply a tiny bit of <i>amp^2</i> starting midway down my hair, which helps hold the waves in place. And that's it! It's quick and easy, and I know my hair will look good!</span></div>

<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">In an attempt to get back into reading, I'm going to try and post about one of the last books I've read. Hopefully this will motivate me to keep reading, but we'll see. I used to read all the time, but when I get busy it seems like reading is always the first thing to go. However, when I picked up <i>Gone Girl</i>, by Gillian Flynn, I could not put it down, and it definitely started to take priority over more important things. Although I enjoyed the first half of the book, I wasn't riveted by it. I thought the book was okay, but I didn't think it was worth all of the hype. Then I got to the twist. After that, everything changed. I was on the edge of my seat, and couldn't wait to finish it. Flynn does an excellent job of showing the flaws of all of her characters, much like George RR Martin does with the <i>Game of Thrones </i>series. Being an adoring fan of GoT, I loved that Flynn also put me in the situation where you see both the good and the bad of each character. It meant that I was never quite sure who I felt more empathy for, which I enjoyed. If you like mysteries, I'd highly recommend reading <i>Gone Girl</i>, especially before it becomes a movie!</span></div>

<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">I'm sorry for the lack of regular posting lately, it seems that even though it's summer, time has a habit of getting away from me. I spent this weekend seeing tons of friends (more on that later), but I did want to get in a photo of one of my planned outfits :) I bought this shirt a couple years ago, but I haven't worn it nearly as much as I should have. It's one of those shirts that seems to taunt me while sitting in my closet. I decided to finally wear it, and I'm pretty pleased with the result. I love the cut out trend, and this shirt is the only one whose cut outs actually seem to be semi flattering on my figure. </span></div>

<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Finding new music is one of my favorite things to do. I try and keep an open mind, so I end up listening to a variety of different types of music. In order to show you this variety, I thought I'd go in a completely opposite direction from last week's post on the Shins, and write about a rapper. Chance the Rapper is relatively new on the scene, and his music is the perfect balance between rap and hip-hop, I guess you could say. I tend to shy away from more intense rappers, and I love when I can catch the references they are making in their lyrics. I think this is why I love Chance so much, because every time I listen to a song I catch another witty line. He recently went on tour with Childish Gambino, who is another favorite rapper of mine. They have very similar styles, so if you like Childish you'll definitely like Chance. Even if you're not really into rap, I encourage you to give Chance a shot! </span></div>

<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">As much as I love my work, it can get exhausting at points. So exhausting, in fact, that the only logical thing to do was to spend my lunch break doing a little bit of shopping to relax. Basically, I shouldn't be let into an American Apparel when I have store credit and am delirious due to lack of sleep. As much as I love my friends, they are not very helpful when it comes to getting me to not purchase things :) I walked out with this skirt, after my friend told me that it was impossible to own too much denim (and since I didn't own a denim skirt, it was definitely time to invest). I'm very happy I did, because it's hard to find skirts that are appropriate work length. By pairing it with winged eyeliner, red lipstick and a flowered shirt, I felt a bit of a vintage vibe, but that might only be in my head :) Needless to say, I think it will become a staple in my wardrobe, and I'm very happy my friend convinced me to get it!</span></div>
