Boston Beginnings

My first post from Boston! How exciting. I moved into my dorm on Friday. After hours of rearranging and organizing my extremely hot room, it finally ended up feeling quite homey. For the past couple of months, I have been stocking up on vintage pictures and craft items to fill my room with. I am pleased with the turn out because the room is much bigger than I expected. Thanks to these lovely ladies pictured above, my first week at Northeastern has been more than amazing. I had my first day of classes today and I start work tomorrow. Everything seems to be falling into place, and I could not be any happier. 

Until next time, Mandy

I Think It's About Time I Get A Bike

shirt: from my friend. skirt: urban outfitters. shoes: target. scarf: vintage.

So I kind of had a red theme going on the other day, so when I saw this adorable bike with the red sign, I just had to take pictures with it. It is little things like this that make me love going into the city. I hope to find more cute places today, because I am headed downtown in a few hours. Erin and I are meeting up with a friend of ours from Indiana for a day of picture taking and hopefully coffee because I am a tad bit exhausted.

Old Barn and Lace

top: nordstrom. skirt: pacsun. shoes: urban outfitters. bag: vintage.

Yesterday was absolutely beautiful, so I decided to wear my new lace skirt. I found it at PacSun when Wil was looking for some shirts. The clothes there don't usually fit my style, but I found this skirt on sale and I couldn't help but buy it. I paired it with my orange boots because I don't seem to wear them enough. My day of vintage shopping led me to an old barn/antique shop with the best places for photos. I'm thinking that I may travel out there again for prom pictures. Even though it's somewhat of a long drive, I think that it would be worth it because the barn is so perfect.

Yes, I Wear Shorts In The Snow

Just a quick little post today. I took these photos in the prairie path across the street from my house. It looked so beautiful in the sunset. I rarely go into the prairie path, but I think I will more often. Even though it was really pretty, it was freezing. Once again, I am not weather appropriately dressed. I will probably never learn. Do you like my new camera necklace? My grandma just gave it to me the other day when she picked me up from school. I think it's super cute. Don't forget to enter my giveaway.

Purple Pea Coat

Another day in the windy city. Even though it was beautiful and sunny, the wind froze every part of my body. I really should invest in a warmer coat, but I do like my purple one. Guess what I found today...an urban outfitters outlet store. I had no idea it even existed, but the sales were amazing. I scored a pair of $5 shorts, along with tights, gloves, a hat, coat, sweater, and tank top. It was pretty successful. Now my wonderful weekend is over and I am headed back to school in the morning. I'm not looking forward to waking up at 5:30.

Button Socks and Patterned Tights

Everything: Urban Outfitters

I had a lovely day in Lincoln Park. It started off with breakfast at Jam n' Honey, where there was a jar of nutella at every table. From there I took some outfit photos. I just realized that I am head to toe in urban outfitters. Then I hit a couple stores and Mandy B's bakery. I am loving the snickerdoodle cookie I got. Then I went to Lush to get my hair hennaed. The girls there were so sweet and the service was just great. They apply the henna right there in the store for you, how awesome is that? The process was long but so much fun. I will be posting pictures of the application and the results tomorrow. Right now I am going to go wash out my hair. Wish me luck because the dye looks pretty green right now. I am crossing my fingers that it turns out.

Until next time, Mandy

Where The Wild Things Are

So I bought another Urban Outfitters sale coat. The colors and fur remind me of Where The Wild Things Are. I just love the multiple shades of brown and it is completely different from any other coat I have. Since I have been on a buying spree lately, I need to start cleaning out my closet. Where do you think the best site is to sell non-vintage clothing? I am going to create an Etsy shop for my vintage, but I need somewhere else to sell my other items. Is Ebay the best place or do you know of any others?

Until next time, Mandy
