Today, I met up with Andrea from Blonde Bedhead, for a lunch date. We got yummy soup, salad and breadsticks from Olive Garden and drove to downtown Muskegon to grab some shots! It was so great to hang out with her. I missed her so. We got a ton of shots (sorry, I'm going to overload you with shots of me but she took so many great ones!) and even some video! I have a video editing class now, so I'm going to do a little "fashion" related video. I'll post as soon as it's done! Afterwards, we walked around the terrible mall in that town and said goodbye. I'm going to see her in a couple of weekends so we can shop for the upcoming conference! So excited!
Pretty basic outfit today! It's Sunday. And I'm not "supposed" to be blogging on Sundays. I told myself last week.. one day a week where you aren't allowed to go on the computer. At all. And last Sunday, I didn't.. and got so much done! Cleaning the apartment, laundry, washing and straightening my hair and getting ready for my insanely upcoming busy week! I slacked today and here I am.. with a dirty apartment and really gross unwashed hair. At least I don't have class tomorrow!
These are my cute little shoes I just got from Aldo last night with my Weardrobe gift card for winning their "Best look in heels" contest! Thanks so much, Weardrobe! They were $50, and so all I had to do was pay an extra $3 for these lovelies. I also got this lacy-style top from Forever 21 last night. They had a lot of cute spring items. I'm not ready to shop for spring yet..! It's still a little bit too cold here in the mitten and it will be for a long time yet!

If you haven't already seen Andrea on Chictopia or her blog, check her out! I just redesigned her blog for her! I was super excited about it! I don't know what I'd do without her. She's really my only close girlfriend within a 200-mile distance and I couldn't be more grateful. I'm super excited to see her in a few weeks and to go to NY in February with her!
So pretty. Absolutely love her hair. It was funny because people used to think we were the same person. We both used to go to shows in our town all the time and had very similar hair. So from the back, people would be like.. I saw you at this show.. but it was always one or the other! Haha! You're saying.. huh? Your hair isn't anything like hers? Yeah I know! I used to have super blonde, super curly hair all through high school, a lot like Andrea's (except her curls are way more defined and pretty) but getting older, I've really lost so much of my curl. Now if I let it air-dry, it's a pile of gross frizz! I should try to do it curly one day, just to see if will still curl or not!

Yay for casual outfits! I agree, I want to shop for spring because I want cute floral tops, but at the same time..it's still winter! And it's hard to buy things when I know I can't wear them yet!!
Love her skirt and your shoes!!

Love these photos -- very beautiful. My hair has also lost all its curl. It's practically completely straight, not even wavy. Ah well. I miss it, though. I love the bright blonde in your hair with the darker shades, though.

I have been aching for some oxfords like that from aldo! but alas, no job yet to purchase them. congratulations on the contest.:)
you two both look gorgeous and your outfits are great! now i am headed to go check out andrea's blog. (:
That's so funny, I got those exact same shoes 2 days ago! They had those and some shiny ones, but I decided to go with those. They are so cute and classic! Love your top, too!

I love the high water look for skinny jeans!
And I also really like how the color in your hair has grown out.
The blonde mixes really well with the darkness.
Love your oxfords and lacey top!
Also I love Andrea's boots too.
Love these shots! I especially love the zipper one, so sweet.
You both look great. Yeah, I love the new design of her blog. I wasn't aware you also designed blogs. That's very cool. Her's and yours, of course, look so fantastic. I love those oxfords too btw. I've always wanted a pair.
such lovely shots! love your aldo shoes -- great purchase
love your shoes! i was so sad when a similar pair i had died during my vacation in greece.
I love this outfit, it's casual but still chic, plus you got such great deals on everything!! (which always makes me feel great!)
Meanwhile, I can't believe you had super curly hair. It looks so great straight now that I never would have guessed... As someone cursed with insanely frizzy curls would love to know how you style it like this!
first off, i totally love your pictures!!! you look so pretty and charming!
second, i love olive garden!! unlimited breadsticks!!!! hahaha!
third, i have to agree that andrea's hair is truly stunning! my gosh!!!
fourth, i adore adore tegan and sara! i want to go to their canadian tour if they pass by my city! hahaha! :D
my mind was blown when i first saw this! you look SO good! I love the pants...ahh..everything. Those shoes were a good buy :) SAme with the shirt! Looks like you two ladies had a wonderful day. Andrea is so beautiful too..my friend and I were drooling over her lovely hair. so nice. x
That's so funny that you two would get mixed up. I could definitely see it, you two have a similar look about you. Before I cut my bangs I had the exact same hairstyle as Andrea, haha!

these photos are lovely. you look amazing as always! as does andrea
The lace top is so, so, so cute.. and with infinite styling possibilities.. I'm a huge sucker for lace. Great pick for the shoes, too!
And you should definitely try to style your hair curly, I'm sure it would look really pretty!
i have very similar shoes in gray....i am just desperate for the weather to get warmer so that i can break them out again. unfortunately, nyc is just not cooperating with my plans!

love your lace shirt!
you guys are two very lovely ladies :) i am in love with andrea's boots! and your lace top is gorgeous.
yay for your aldo shoes as well, they're adorable! so jealous you won that aldo giftcard from weardrobe (they haven't had a contest in ages!).
you should definitely try seeing if your hair will curl again. my hair is the opposite. when i was younger it used to be pin straight and now there's a little bit of a wave in it. can't wait to see your fashion video :)
both of you are soo gorgeous!! I know Andrea from Chictopia..she's such a lovely girl :)..I like her style..and of course yours!!
your lace top is soo adorable!!
Both of you are so adorable in your outfits and YES she has the most amazing hair. Glad you decided to post all those pics because there are a ton of great ones.

So all I can say is I'm not sure how you and your friend missed my radar because you're freakin' awesome!
And then my lil' pal idee_geniale is telling me all about you coming to NYC, this or that, and I'm like, "I have no idea who she is-but she doesn'tknow me either I'm certain of it" And now...yeah I'm so mad that I'm only now coming across you! Anyway, can't wait for February in NYC!!!! So much fun! I guess I might see you then...whenever you meet up w/Mel!
your hair color is tres cool

awww! I totally recognize Andrea from lookbook! It sounds like you two had so much fun!
True story: I was shopping today (like I really needed to be!) and came across a free people lace shirt I have wanted for so long! I read this post right before I left, and when I came across the lace shirt I thought about how cute you looked in yours, and bought it! haha :)
Wonderful photos and I really love your hair! The darker roots with the blond ends; so cute. That's so exicting that you are headed to NYC for the conference. I don't think I can spare the money for a place ticket. Have fun for me! Annie.

Your outfit is so Michael Jackson! And yet in some pics you remind me of Katie Holmes...? >.<
Such pretty pictures! Your outfits are all so adorable. I almost bought that lace top at f21 and now I wish I did haha. Looks so cute on you!
