Now that we're living in the city, I'm excited to seek out all of the fun, urban decay spots! Ever since I spotted this ice cream shop last summer, I've wanted to stop and take pictures. It was so amazing to get out of work today, take photos, head to the mall, eat dinner with a friend, head to band practice and be back home in pajamas all before 10 PM! Crazy, right? I'm going to have so much more time on my hands now. It's amazing!
I've been feeling so lazy lately with planning outfits that it felt nice to finally dress up today! Except I've been feeling even more lazy with doing my hair, so I went all natural. No product, no blow-dryer, no straightener. It's not as curly as it used to be when I was younger... but still pretty wavy! It's a nice alternative to the days I don't feel like spending an hour on it.
Tomorrow I'm getting a manicure and pedicure with a gift card I received from my best friend and I'm getting my hair done! It'll be a day of beauty. I'm really looking forward to it. We've spent so much time lately working on this apartment... it's exhausting! This place is a lot bigger than our old place and I want to repaint and redecorate every room. It's a ton of work and I'm too impatient to wait a few months to accomplish it all. I want a perfectly decorated apartment... now! Our bedroom is finally done though and I love how it turned out. I'll do a post on it before I leave for Texas (plus, my new closet is so perfect compared to my old one!)
Outfit details:
Nicola Chiffon blouse c/o Ruche
Forever 21 skirt
Beyond Love belt c/o Le Mode Accessories
Hue tights
Ship helm ring from Bonjour Bbydoll
Loxley Mary Jane wedges c/o Ruche

I just discovered your blog, but just after looking through a few posts, I'm feeling so inspired by all of your outfits! And you have great hair! If my hair was that well-behaved, I'd go all natural every day. :)
This skirt gives even ME nostalgia for when you first started fashion blogging, haha.
I love it when you remix different items in your closet. I often get bored and uninspired with all the pieces in mine, so I'm always inspired when I see you wearing old pieces in a new way.
I love your hair all wavy, it's super similar to mine... and isn't it nice to not do anything to it some days?! It's a lovely break!!
And this outfit is super fabulous. I adore mustard paired with white & black + the pattern on that skirt is super pretty! Enjoy your day of pampering and yay, to having more time to accomplishing everything, you must be loving that!!
Lastly, (sheesh, I ramble) I LOVE the way your bedroom turned out! See ya in Austin, yay! Smooches! V
Loving the background. Can't wait to see all your new backdrops. Eagerly awaiting shots of your new pad.

You look gorgeous. The outfit works so well with the scenery :]
Absolutely stunning!! I love the yellow!!

i love this outfit! the color combination is magnificent! cannot wait to see your new hair :)
Ohhhh, I know exactly where that is - right next to where Coat of Many Colors used to be, and right next to where some friends used to live! Goodness, I spent so many hours at the Coat...I still miss it! Anyway, a great (familiar!) location, very near and dear to my heart...and I adore your outfit :) I can't believe your hair looks like that naturally...I don't think I'll ever be doing a blog post with what my hair looks like naturally, haha!

I love how your outfit really reflects your surroundings. Plus, I really love your hair wavy. I think the natural element makes a person beautiful, you are gorgeous with straight hair too, don't get me wrong, but there is just something about natural beauty
I love the colour of that top!

You got the mustard blouse! I looove it! Enjoy your day of pampering tomorrow! You deserve it Tieka :)
Thank goodness you had a post in you tonight! My procrastination was seriously lacking and I desperately needed something to read.
That said: How adorable! I love that your top is the exact color of the wall. Also, black and yellow is a trend I feel like I'm going to have to give into. You make it work so well!
Also, not fair, I know the weather down there has been rain but man, please take some of my yooper snow. I have over a foot outside. I will trade you in a heartbeat.
Always the best!

What a great backdrop! It works so perfectly with your lovely outfit. And I love your natural hair!
Love the outfit! Seeing Eva's makes me miss GR and Wealthy Street in particular. I hope after you took these photos you went out for dinner at Brick Road. That is seriously one of the best restaurants I have ever been to.

I love the mustard color of your top!! Your belt is adorable!
Looking gorgeous as always!! Your au natural hair looks great! I recently tried that and my bangs looked a little crazy, but it is nice to have an easy hair option.

I adore this outfit! You're one of my biggest style inspirations. Congratulations on the new home - even though it's stressful, it's fun to have a new place.
Dude your hair looks so much nicer au natural than mine, lol. I love the yellow top with the yellow ice cream shop!
I feel you, all I wanna do is decorate my house. I have everything picked out in my mind, but I need like a month off to get it all done.
That location is SO cute! Perfect match to your outfit!
I'm so excited for you that you are already enjoying your new lifestyle so much!
You are the cutest as always :)

When I'm running behind, my trick to my super thick, ultra coarse and semi-wavy hair is to let it air dry while I'm getting ready, then scrunch in some volumizing mousse and hit it quickly with the blow dryer while scrunching. Five minutes on my hair as opposed to the usual half hour! Loving your shoes, you look super cute!
I love your hair like this! It's so pretty. And that skirt is really cute.

I love your natural hair! You should let it be like that more often :)
i love this skirt SO much! and i just love the color palate of your whole outfit, with that lovely bright yellow back drop. glad you are enjoying the city!

My hair is the exact same way naturally. I'm letting my hair be all natural from now on so that I can grow it out super long!

Love the outfit and your hair looks beautiful natural (mine starts out trying to look like that then I guess it gives up and decides to flip instead.) Pedicures are fun; I went to my first one last year with my mom and grandma. I was so nervous I basically did my own pedicure before I went to get the real one lol. I got a gift card for Christmas and can't wait for Spring to use it!

I really like this white and black skirt with the mustard blouse. The colors are perfect for Spring.
It's a good thing to finally enjoy being settled in to your new home, most especially when you can get to decorate!
That is the cutest little old ice cream shop. Sounds like you guys are adjusting well to the city!
The patterned skirt with the mustard blouse is great together!
I love decorating a new space, but can be a total spaz and will spend two entire weeks locked in the house with a few cans of paint and a lot of ideas. It's so much fun to reimagine all of your furniture and accessories into a new space with a new arrangement. It frees you from what you had thought it should be at the old place, and allows you start fresh!
You look so adorable! Love decorating. You are going to have so much fun.

This is one of the cutest colour schemes for an outfit, you look adorable! I love the way you mix and match separates and have been looking to your archives for inspiration, especially now that we are heading into fall here :)
I am so in love with that pretty little skirt!!
