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.
Until next time, Mandy

70s Vibe

dress: bazar. shoes: are my grandma's.

Hello my lovely readers. This was an outfit post from the other day, but I am just now getting around to putting it up. I was thrilled when I found this dress. I love the 70s vibe and bright colors, oh and I can't forget to mention the sleeves! At the moment, I am listening to Of Monsters and Men while I overpack my suitcase because I am leaving for Boston in the morning. College orientation here I come! I cannot believe how fast this summer has gone by. I am ridiculously excited to see the city, but a tad bit nervous about getting all of my school information. Also, the whole icebreakers and forced socialization thing is not my favorite. I don't enjoy playing awkward games with people I don't know. However, I am sure the next three days will be filled with exciting events and interesting people. Expect pictures and stories upon my return.

Until next time, Mandy

Johnny Cash Is A Friend Of Mine

Hello there beautiful. That's exactly what I said when I walked out of Ina's restaurant and saw this motorcycle. The leather seat, satchel, and wooden handles make this the most stunning bike I've ever seen. Luckily, the owner was eating breakfast so I could snap these photos, but part of me wanted the guy to come out so I could see what kind of fantastic person owns this bike. I was really tempted to slip a love note into his satchel. I know, that would have been a little odd, but I couldn't hide my admiration for this bike. So if somehow any of you know the owner of the motorcycle, please don't inform them of my creepy obsession, but do tell them that I would like to be friends.

Until next time, Mandy

A Day In The City

This building is amazing. It really makes me want to buy some new glasses, which are actually much needed.

How cute is this corner with the barber shop light and the vintage looking sign?

I really like the hands on this sign.

Of course I had to take a picture in front of the orange door.

I know, I know it's a cheesy picture in a phone booth but I just couldn't help myself. I want to go to London so badly.

I don't know if you can tell, but the windows are just stuffed with books. It's kind of a scary mess, but it makes for a good picture.

I cannot even begin to express my love for The Bagel. It's a Jewish diner with the most delicious matzo ball soup that will cure any illness and leave you stuffed for days. I am craving it right this moment.

I have one more thing to share with you. I am so excited for this weekend because I am going to the Vintage Bazaar and Dose Market. What's better than vintage clothes and great food? I can't wait and I will be sure to share my photos with you.

Until next time, Mandy
