life lately...

finally summer break is here!! well...kind of. i'm taking summer classes so that i will be done with school earlier than expected, but it's only six weeks and they're night classes, so i still have all day to be lazy and summery! i can't believe that after this summer, i'll be in my last semester of university!! time gone by all too quickly but i can't wait for what the future holds..anyway. i figured i'd do a little "random things i'm loving type thing" they seem to be the easiest thing to do when pressed for ideas.

1. i'm absolutely LOVING chanel's vitalumiere aqua foundation! the coverage and the finish that it leaves on the skin is just gorgeous. i used to use nars sheer glow, but this is definitely my new love. it's pricey at around $45, but the quality is just incomparable. i also love the makeup on the promotional image...it's everything i love about summer makeup - simple but so pretty!



2. gaga is back! well, she's never really gone anywhere, but her new album came out today and i've been listening to it all day...i know she may not be everyone's cup of tea, and for a long time she wasn't mine either, but now i'm obsessed! definitely my guilty please...i've been singing edge of glory non-stop...at first i was thinking "this is too normal to be gaga"...and then the 80's-tastic saxophone solo hits you....so random!

3. i'm currently lusting over jeffrey campbell lita's...now this is noteworthy for me because i used to really not like them...but i saw a girl wearing them a few days ago irl and all of a sudden i just had to have them. i also saw this post by gabriella at not so basic and they looked so awesome on her that it just made me want to get them even more...the only question now is, which color???

4. i've been loving piling on the bracelets and these from h&m are my current faves...the colors are so gorgeous and i cannot believe they only cost $3.95!! i would honestly have paid 5x that amount for them!!


5. and lastly, i am SO excited to be seeing adele at the greek theatre on june 6!!! she is just so talented, it kills me. her voice...oh my god, it quite literally sends shivers down my spine and brings tears to my eyes. love her!

that's all for now..hope you have a lovely day

dolce vita 'bailey' ankle boots

these are my new shoes and i am absolutely obsessed with them. don't let my silly little camera phone picture fool you, for in real life these things are little beauts. i really think these shoes embody granny chic at it's finest, but at the same time there is something so modern and youthful about them. perhaps the fact that they have GLITTER SHIMMERY BITS all over? yes, you might not be able to notice in pictures, but irl they're there. i am a sucker for anything that sparkles. call me roisin the magpie.





brand new shoes - she & him

kind of related and unrelated at the same time. this post just got me thinking about how much i love this song and sharing is caring.

theres a life across the river that was meant for me

just a quick post to let you all know that i'm alive and not dead! i'm not even going to bother making excuses as to why my posts are so sporadic. i would like to get into the habit of doing this more regularly, but it's not something i can really force myself to do. anyway, i gave the blog a little face-lift. it's still very minimal, which i love, but has a little more character and warmth...at least, i hope!

just so this post isn't completely pointless, i'll leave you with a little video that i came across on youtube and instantly fell in love with...i absolutely loved this laura marling song already, but what this person did by adding such adorable animation, just makes me love it even more! they only have a few videos up (and seem to make them as infrequently as i blog!) but what they do have, i love! enjoy xx

today i wandered around in sparkly earrings

i'm beginning to feel a lot more optimistic. i know that amazing things are on the way for me. i feel like i'm in the waiting room of life right now. soon, something big is going to happen. we're all gonna have our moment.
