Summertime Clothes

Summertime Clothes by HilaryGrace featuring vintage tops

Pretty much my outfit for today.. more or less.

My friend Ben took my camera to Jamaica for the week (whimper, whimper.. I miss it so much!) so, I figured I'd head over to Polyvore to create an outfit similar to the one I'm wearing today.

If only I really was wearing those YSL sandals.. HA!

& my yellow tee is actually yellow and white striped. So cute. I initially had on a highwaisted black skirt but it was a little chilly for all the walking I've been doing today.

Nail polish: burgundy red fingernails & cloudy grey toenails.

Listening to Animal Collective nonstop.

Pining for the weekend nonstop.

This week flew by.

Highlights:

Eric's band played at Nick's last night and they had an excellent turnout.

I watched far too many movies including:
     -Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (Elizabeth Taylor & Paul Newman, yes!)
     -The Graduate (Simon & Garfunkel soundtrack, and Anne Bancroft is amazing)
     -The Virgin Suicides (Sofia Coppola is mind blowing)
     -An American in Paris (hellooo random colorful daydreams and bursts of tapdance)
E and I were really intentional about spending time together and it was so so nice.
Warm, sunny days! Windows open! Sandals on! Yay spring!

This weekend we're going to plant seedlings, head to the park with our friend and her little ones, go thrift store hunting for a new coffee table, and lots of other fun stuff! Eric took part in Worcester's mystery band, and the concert is tonight. So excited for it. Currently purchasing tickets for the Further Seems Forever (bleh)/ Mewithoutyou (YES YES YES) show at the end of the month. Also, our favorite local vegan restaurant is having a grand re-opening. Duck Yao.

Okay okay okay, one last thing:

harharharhar. so so good. {source}

Tell your gra'ma and your mama too

Flares are coming back! Eric doesn't believe me.

I thrifted these Gap flares on 1/2 off Wednesday at Salvation Army:

I think they're wicked cute, even if they kinda make me look like I have no bum.

(The wooden heels on my feet are Nine West. Got em at the last swap.)

I apologize for the incohesiveness..icity.. er.. but here are a few other photos of happiness from my week:

I woke up to a bouquet of roses from E on Monday morning.

They made me blush and then cry. (I may or may not be on my "lady days"..)

E snuggling Nugget.

We call her Schnugget, because she likes to schnuggle.



Fun print on a button-down I also thrifted on Wednesday.

I can't wait to wear it with a thick brown leather belt!

This week has been another sort of hectic one. Lots of working and spring cleaning and nights out. (How come people think going out on a Thursday night is a good idea, anyway?) I think part of this weekend is going to be used to recover from the week. In addition, next week Eric is going to Minneapolis for 3 nights and I am already starting to miss that little stinker.So I'll also be pouting around the house following him like his shadow & soforth to show my protest.* And, the night he flies in, I'm heading home to Boston to spend Wednesday-Friday with my sister who by the way comes home from Germany on Monday!!! Very excited to snuggle up in her twin size bed and talk and laugh til we fall asleep.

I even miss her really loud snore. I do.

*Here is something I like to do: give him a hug then not let him go for a really long time until he ends up having to drag me around with him everywhere, then he usually gets annoyed and breaks free. Then I laugh and he scowls even though I know truthfully he's quite amused.

Currently listening to: "Wolf Like Me" by TV on the Radio
