Hi guys! So something crazy happened here in NJ, we got another heat wave! It seriously has been pants, tights, possible cardigan weather (Not all together of course (;), but just the other day I opened the door to let my dog out and it was HOT. It's kind of sad, since I was getting so excited for Fall and it's like Summer came back and hit me in the face. Oh well, Fall and I will be united soon enough I supposed.
Oh! and as you may have noticed! (If you haven't visited since last post!) I have a new layout. I was going for a classy French carnival type of ordeal. I'm in love!
Dress- Fossil ; Belt- Charlotte Russe ; Shoes- Kohls
So I have a funny story (not really funny but!) about this dress! I bought it a couple of years ago, but before that I saw it and loved it. Except it was pricey. Like $60-$70 I didn't have in high school pricey. For my birthday that year I got a giftcard from my good friend Lauren for $20 to Fossil. And even though I really appreciated it, I mean $20 to Fossil? I can't even buy a ring for that without spending extra money. So I just held onto the giftcard and one time when I was at the mall this dress was on sale, for you guessed it- $20! In my size! I think we were meant to be!
I'm actually really excited for next week! Last minute Brian and I (and his mom!) decided to go down to LBI! He's gone down to his Nana's house down there since he was really little and knows all the nifty little food places, shops, and all that stuff! I can not wait to lie on the beach and go in the ocean with Brian! It makes me feel a little more okay with it still being summer!
I also wanted to say hi to all my new followers! Though I haven't been posting as frequently I seem to have had a large sum follow me in the past few days. Thank you guys so much
Have a great weekend everyone!Currently Listening to:
Brian playing WOW
same here in WV it was cool for 2 days and then today HOOOOT! of course the day i decided to take my pictures..i am melting. i love fossil..once in a while i can find wonderful things there..sometime to expensive for me though. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThats such a pretty dress, well done for having the will power to wait for it! It's been miserable and raining here in England although we got a little bit of sun at the start of the week, I'm settling in to cooler weather though and I can't wait for chunky knits and layers. Saying that, I am a tad envious you still get to wear pretty sun dresses and go to the beach.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and I love it! Am following you. Your hair is lovely. I want a fringe (bangs?) but don't think I could pull it off!
ReplyDeleteI definitely think you were meant to be, you look amazing! I love when things work out perfectly like that. How gorgeous is the print!?
ReplyDeleteAnd these photos are beautiful, although that isn't a surprise, your photos are always beautiful... and the new layout is awesome.
Oh I love planning little trips, Morne and I just booked out hotel for our 2 year anniversary trip, yay :)

ReplyDeleteThat dress really was ment to be yours.
ReplyDeleteI love cool stories like the one about your dress! Sometimes fashion is just ~*~magical~*~ like that. And it looks so lovely on you; I'm glad you finally got the dress!
ReplyDeleteOh, isn't it wonderful when something like that happens! I guess you were just meant to have that dress, it looks lovely on you!!
ReplyDeletep.s. I'm one of your new followers on bloglovin, only now saying hi:)

ReplyDeleteI've been through some of your past posts & I adore your sense of style.

Like I said in my comment for your last post, I LOVE THIS LAYOUT. I definitely see a French Carnival theme going on here. Did you make it yourself or is it from a template? Anyway, these pictures are gorgeous, as your pictures always are. I hope you post again before LBI but if not have an awesome time and take pictures to share the trip with all of us!!
ReplyDeleteDanielle- Yes I made this myself! Yay for finally have my Paint Shop Pro to make graphics with! I hope to post before LBI too! <3
ReplyDeleteYou deserve the followers Caitlyn! Your blog has become one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteAnyway I like the new layout of the blog. It's quite original and just seems to pop. As for the dress, sounds like you were made for each other :)

You look SO pretty in every single one of these photos! I love them! :) Your hair makes me envious..love it. You deserve all the followers in the world, your blog is amazing! x
ReplyDeleteI love your new layout, it so matches your clothing style :) For example the dress: lovely! The little ornaments on the skirt part are so pretty! But you know what? I was so preparing for fall aswell and was glad summer had gone and today: Bam! Heat! It's the same over here in Germany.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend :)
I love your new layout!! It's totally darling, and I feel the circus-y vibe.
ReplyDeleteYour dress is so so pretty! It fits you super well, and the pattern is so much fun. I'm also fairly in love with you shoes. On another note, have fun in LBI! That should help make the heat a bit more bearable. I couldn't believe how warm it got in Jersey. Hopefully fall is just around the corner (again!).
Hi there! I'm a new follower! :) I love your blog so much, you're so pretty! I feel like we have similar tastes and it's so nice to find someone you can relate to looks-wise. And who doesn't love a dominant-recessive girl? (light eyes & dark hair rule!)

ReplyDeleteWow! that dress is just darling
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty in the woods! It's so great when you see something you want but can't have and then it goes on sale. As you say, clearly meant to be.
ReplyDeleteWell you know, there's this little thing called Bittorrent, which will allow you to download episodes of True Blood whenever you want! I suggest it. Internet piracy is the tits.
