Not when that damn sun is shining down over me...

Tank - Anthropologie, earrings - Lost Boys & Lovers, skirt - Target, cuffs - antique, sandals - Dolce Vita

Within the past couple weeks, a myriad of goodies have ended up in my mailbox and then my dining room tables. There's a dress from a contest I won... it's more appropriate for fall, so expect to see it then. I love these earrings that Sadie Rose Casey over at Lost Boys & Lovers sent me. They're so cool and not comparable to most earrings that I see in stores... and I'm a fan of jewelry that isn't so plain. I haven't actually worn anything in my ears in the past couple of years, but these make me want to go crazy over buying earrings. But of course, I can't, so I'll probably try to make something when I start my art class on Monday!

Yeah, how did that sneak up so quickly? I've been having a good ol' time since my last post... and then some. Today was one of those days that starts out good but gets progressively worse as the day presses on. So naturally, I ended up in my bed curled up with my cat, fell asleep, and missed out on any Friday night plans.






This is my first post since changing my layout... hoping that the pictures fit! It's taking some time to get used to it, but I feel it's more personal since I drew it all. Not surprising... and I'm now questioning why I'd put up stuff that I don't feel is the best of my ability, but whatever.

Silhouette Girl's First Giveaway! - Winner

So, my computer has been malfunctioning since Sunday, but it is back! Such a relief... I've been having mini-anxiety attacks over the giveaway winner. That makes me a nerd, right?

Well, I'm now back to announce the winner - Maggie from lifesize paperdoll!

I used random.org to generate a random number... my Stat teacher would probably advise against using computer generators, but I'm out of school! Wooh, it's summer!

PS I haven't taken photos of any outfits during my short absence - I've been dressing comfy. Expect a post tomorrow since I'm going to attend my sister's graduation.

Silhouette Girl's First Giveaway!

(via Weheartit)

So, my followers on Google Friend Connect have surpassed 100... and a day or two after hitting the mark, I was contacted by CSN Stores. I had reviewed an item for them before, but this time around, it's a giveaway! CSN Stores is host to a variety of online shops, including everything from cool shoes to platform beds. There's something so fascinating about high beds - they're so uninviting based on their height, but once you're in one, you feel like you're sleeping on a cloud. Just me? Okay.

Anyway, the prize? A $50 gift card to purchase whatever you please on CSN Stores. Perhaps you need something practical, or perhaps a "free" pair of shoes wouldn't hurt.

Rules: enter by leaving a comment with your name and email address by 11:59pm EST on Sunday 6/13 to win. I will select a winner using a random number generator shortly after! Only one entry per person.

PS I'm really glad that I'm finally having my first giveaway!

Me and a tree.

Blazer - Silence and Noise, tshirt - old, skirt - H&M, cuff - Amrita Signh (courtesy of Ideeli), leggings - Forever 21, flats - Kimchi Blue, tote - Thomas Paul (courtesy of AllModern.com)

I guess this is an alternative to cardigan+vneck+skirt+leggings... blazer instead of a cardigan. Groundbreaking, I must say. Just kidding. Today wasn't that bad, despite my insane tiredness. I need to manage my time better. After school I took a nap, then hung out with a friend and watched Garden State. I rarely watch movies. But I really enjoyed it!

Not going to lie, I thoroughly enjoy taking this bag to school. Don't get me wrong - I'm really not a fan of the process of going there. However, this past week I've been toting this and carrying a cup of blueberry green tea. But the tea's beside the point. I've never really "reviewed" anything before, but I want to thank CSN Stores for giving me this opportunity! So, without being biased, this tote is really cool. It's super-sturdy canvas, and the design on it is quite awesome in my opinion. It was shipped promptly - I was really excited when I received it... I wasn't expecting it so soon. And I was sent a cool lookbook from Thomas Paul, only to find myself inspired by the wonderful illustrations. Pretty great in my book.

Review time.

I'm not talking about midterms! I was contacted by the CSN Stores PromoTeam, asking if I'd be interested in reviewing one of their products from a store in the 200+ store umbrella. The products in their stores range from mailbox accessories, to shoes, to contemporary home decor.

I'm not going to disclose too much information just yet, but I now have a review to look forward to that doesn't involve filling in a multiple choice sheet. I'm excited - the product I'll be reviewing is from Allmodern.com. Stay tuned!
