Spring Shopping Haul

When I decided I was gonna start blogging again, I told myself I was gonna do something different than I was doing with my last blog (easypeasyglam.blogspot.com). That was all about fashion and shoes and me buying a bunch of shit. Here’s the thing tho- I love fashion and shoes and buying shit. So EVEN THO I said I would do something different it doesn’t mean I can't ALSO do some fashion stuff.

I want this to be a blog that is gender neutral. Well mm, that sounds a bit awkward. All gender friendly? NON GENDER SPECIFIC. Ok that works. I wanted this to be a non-gender specific blog. A lot of the blogs I follow (and lovvve) are very focused on females and girly things. And I have just decided that a soon-to-come post will be about why boys should read this too. And I don’t mean just my guy friends who use it to make fun of me. (CHIM- that’s for you)

This post will be one of those ones that boys will hate if it even shows up on their facebook newsfeed. Whatev. Y’all can suck it.

HERE’S SOME SHIT I BOUGHT! I’m TOTALLY (and probably unhealthily) obsessed with most of it. I included links to where you can find things but a bunch of stuff is from Marshalls and that place is amazing but dumb for not having a shopable website.

These are my Easter shoes. 1. Because their style is called Bunny and 2. Because DUH. I have seen these heels SO many times on Hautelook or Rue La La and wanted to get them but I’ve only ever seen them in red or black suede and, unsurprisingly, I have an awesome pair of red suede pumps and a pair of black suede pumps that have a bow on the heel. But I was looking up heels for a coworker to wear with a dress and found these and clearly my priorities shifted. I bought them immediately. I LOVE THEM. Follow me on instagram (ac_glam). You’ll see Easter pics, don’t you worry.

For real, these are amazing. They are SO comfortable and sooo fucking gorgeous! I can honestly barely handle it. In fact, as soon as I got them home I sent a picture to Tom’s cousin (she’s quite the fan of lace) and it was instalove for her as well. They were on sale at the DSW I was at but apparently they aren’t on sale online. Sorry about it.

Will I wear them? Who cares? They’re glittery. Honestly I have NO where to wear something like this but whatev, they were $7. And you don’t NOT get a pair of sparkly shoes when they’re $7. Also.. just remembered I did the same thing with a pair of pink and gold heels last year.. yet to wear them. That just means SO MANY PARTIES (and by parties I mean show up to my friends houses all dressed up for no reason)

I’m trying to work statement necklaces into my life but it’s really hard. I loved this because it’s purple, and the right size. I can only find ones that are bigger than my body or ones that are super awkward looking with shit in all the wrong places. I do own a bubble necklace but I wore it once and can’t figure out what to wear it with so now it’s in the “shit I never wear, don’t bother untangling it” jewelry drawer.

I got that minty color but it’s soo cute in every color. Also since the lace is so tight/thick/however you wanna describe it, as long as you wear nude colored underthings it isn't noticeably see thru. The fact it's long sleeves doesn't matter since you can catch a breeze and it's not at all skanky!

These I'm super excited about. Each under $20! Can't wait to wear these. They're all from Marshalls and I'm planning on wearing one for L and J's Jack and Jill and one for the rehearsal dinner. The white one I just fell in love with. Again, they'll all be on instagram.. because I'm obsessed with it.

Happy Humpday!

Doing Things My Way

Ok guys, I’m blogging again. I started blogging a while back and had big plans which didn’t quite pan out. Mostly because I didn’t find the time to do the stuff I wanted. Also because I wanted to do sort of a “fashion blog” which was a terrible idea because 1) There are about a billion people more fashionable than me with nicer cameras and more voluminous hair and 2) I totally don’t have the budget to have a super high class wardrobe which got a little depressing so I kinda let it go.

This blog is going to be a different deal though. I am pretty sure I’m going through a quarter life crisis and I’m gonna make this blog a virtual diary/ vent machine/a way to talk about things I’m super excited about. Topics are not limited to but will often include: kittens, super hero movies, food, love, shoes, my dog doing cute stuff, my friends being embarrassing. I’ve never been a serious writer but I like sharing and telling stories. Plus I’m really hoping this will be a partial motivator to do more of the things I’ve been wanting to do, like get my apartment into Good Housekeeping order, continuing my education in my field of study (Industrial Organizational Psych which I'll get into later) and finding hair styles I can do in less in 3 minutes.

I love being crafty and I’m moderately good at that. I also love shopping and drinking wine and I’m awesome at those things. My friends are amazing and outrageous, my family is completely nuts, my boyfriend is hilarious and awkward and his family is super fun and full of incredible people. Between that and my overly enthusiastic and anxious dog, I feel like I have some pretty funny shit to talk about. Also, I can’t decide if I should swear in my blog. How do you feel about it? I feel I probably will because I use inappropriate language a LOT when it’s completely unnecessary to do so. Case in point: when normal people say “oh crap” if they drop something I typically say “ugh, dicks!” Yea I know. Super weird. (Also I was gonna “bleep” a part of that out but then it would be d*cks! And I didn’t want you thinking I shouted “ducks!” when I drop things.) On the other hand, I also don’t want to be overly offensive. We’ll see how that works out.

SO my big plan for this tiny blog of mine is to share my life with you. Either you’ll be laughing with me, at me or just think I’m a huge idiot but it is my life and honestly, all those reactions are fair. I mentioned crafting which typically means decorating alcohol related things, DIYs and making things glittery. Even if my craft ends up totally sucking I’ll share the process and final product with you. Shopping is a fav past time, so my new items will inevitably be talked about and reviewed. There will be stories about things that happened and things I wish would happen. Many of them will be hilariously embarrassing.

Basically I’ve decided I’m going to take steps to make myself a happier and better person and this was something I’ve wanted to try/enjoy doing so here it is! Plus it’s a lot easier than committing to run marathons or eat exclusively organic.

p.s. totally don’t expect me to be one of those, “I write every day, no exceptions” bloggers because ain't nobody got time for that. I mean I’ll totally try, and maybe eventually I’ll get there but I have other shit that takes precedent sometimes. Like shoe shopping or keeping my dog out of my closet or sleeping.
