You Are So Obvious.

The new Louis Vuitton ad's featuring Madonna have hit the internet, and I cannot quite decide what I think of them. On one hand I think they're a lot better than the last ads, where Madonna was straddling a chair. On the other hand it's obvious that someone went a little (a lot) overboard with the photoshop. Madonna almost looks unrecognizable, but at least her extremely muscular arms are disguised a bit. All in all, I'm not much of a Madonna fan, but I think that I do kind of like the ads. What do you think?

State Of My Mind.

I'm currently adoring wearing simple, maybe even bland outfits and then inserting little pops of neon colors. Neon nails, a neon purse, or neon shoes are all perfect accents to outfits that consist mostly of neutrals. Plus, bright/neon colors are fun and whenever I see them, I feel like they scream summer.

I'm getting a pedicure on Friday (before I leave for vacation) and you can bet I'll be getting a little pop of neon on my toes!

Things I Can't Live Without This Week.

I've always been a big fan of bows, nothing says feminine and screams girly like a bow can. However, this week my love for bows has been strengthened. The bow Emma Watson is wearing on the cover of Teen Vogue is gorgeous and definitely making me jealous. Besides the bow endowed flipflops I mentioned yesterday, I also got a swimsuit with a very cute bow. I can't live without them this week, but they are also a must have for the entire summer (and every other season).
I've been seeing this editorial everywhere, but surprisingly I have yet to tire of it. In fact, each time I see it I love it a little more. Each picture is really perfect, but this one in particular stands out to me.
I discovered the Teen Vogue Intern Blog last year and have been obsessed with it ever since. I'm comfortable saying that I've probably read every post on there. And I've probably read each of Stacey Farber's posts multiple times. However, during the summer my obsession always spikes. This probably has something to do with my dream of interning at Teen Vogue during the summer sometime in the future. And fun fact, the cover pictured above was the first issue I ever read. I actually read that issue while on the train on my way to New York to see Wicked when I was in middle school.
This week was the carnival which they have every year. There are lots of rides, bright lights, and sickeningly expensive cotton candy. Being that I live right near the firehouse (the carnival is held on the firehouse's grounds), I get to hear and experience all the excitement. This was actually the first year that I didn't attend, but I still enjoyed seeing all the fun and being able to hear the screams from my window.
This is the most immature thing I need at the moment, iced animal cookies. They're so cute and tasty, the perfect combination!

You Know I Love You.

Today I finally succumbed to bathing suit shopping. I went to the mall and was actually successful. I first bought a cute redish one piece, and then I headed to H&M to look for a bikini.

I was surprised to see that although the selection over at H&M wasn't great, they had a nice sized sale section with lots of tops and bottoms for just $5 a piece. My one piece (from Macys) was on sale for $33.00 and the bikini ended up being $10 in total. The bikini is pretty much adorable, which makes me wish that H&M had pictures of more of their products online.

I also got a pair of very cute flipflops for the beach. Usually I steer clear of flipflops, but these have an adorable little bow on the strap.

Tomorrow: Things I Can't Live Without This Week post.

Don't Say I'm Not.

Today, I saw He's Just Not That Into You for the second time. It was still very cute and in my opinion, a great romcom (romantic comedy).

More importantly though, how cute is Ginnifer Goodwin's outfit?

Pretty Yourself Up.

I'm already contemplating what I'll bring with me when I go on vacation in a little over a week. I guess it is good that I'm planning now because I have been known to over pack. I plan to simplify the clothes I pack this year. I seem to end up wearing my swimsuit, a pair of jean shorts, or a sundress most of the time. Hopefully I'll be able to approach packing with a level mind.

Besides clothing, I'm considering what I'll bring on vacation as far as makeup goes. Here is the plan (so far):
-MAC eyeshadow in Shroom
-Waterproof mascara (I need to buy one of these, all of my mascaras aren't waterproof. Suggestions?)
-Smith's Rosebud Salve
-L'oreal HIP Jelly Balm in Plush
-Estee Lauder bronzer in Bronze Goddess
-Maybelline Pure Makeup foundation in Porcelain Ivory

What are your makeup must haves during the summer?

This weekend I'm going swimsuit shopping for my vacation. Not something I will enjoy!

Guilty Pleasure.

I secretly really crave a romper. I know a lot of the time they aren't flattering...but sometimes they are just so cute.
