The weather is finally transforming from the gray blanket of cold to sunny warmth and I think it's actually going to stay. We did some exploring downtown since we don't make it down there often, and devoured some delicious sloppy greasy pizza. Nothing like a day with no plans but to just take a walkabout. I just bought these shoes from Aldo on Saturday. I never buy shoes from Aldo because they usually don't fit my feet the way they should, but these fit great. They are the most comfortable shoes, I'll definitely be wearing these all summer.
I'm praying the sun stays around, I'm planning on finally throwing on the swimsuit and doing some basking, I can't stand looking like a ghost floating everywhere. Nothing feels better than getting some vitamin D when you've been deprived of sun soaking for months. Summer bronze glow, here I come.

We can all see I have short and scrawny legs, making it a drag to have to shop for shorts and pants. In my most recent raiding of Zara, I found the perfect pair of shorts. They are a bit baggy so I guess you can call them boyfriend shorts, although I hope to never see my boyfriend in shorts like these. I love these shorts so much that the next day I went back and bought another pair. I know I'll wear them down to nothing. I also scooped up an awesome pair of skinny military green cargo pants. Don't worry, you'll be seeing them real soon. And yes, this Zara shirt is my new favorite tee. Holes are my latest obsession. It may be possible that I'll be turning into Edward Scissor Hands soon enough.

So Saturday I had an awesome experience meeting Steve Madden at my local Dillards. What a cool man! There were hundreds of girls waiting in line to get their photo taken with the genius behind the shoes, of course I had to be there. Luckily, I was like #45 in line so I didn't have to stand around forever, even though it was very entertaining with the DJ blasting music and a very gorgeous Julissa Bermudez bouncing around in her cute Spring-ready dress and yellow pumps. She knew immediately that I had on a Zara shirt. Thumbs up Julissa! They gave out shirts which are pretty cute and he signed it reading "Be where your feet are". There also was a raffle drawing going on every 15 minutes to win a free pair of Steve Madden shoes...of course I didn't win damnit! Oh well. The picture's pretty cool.

School and my surprisingly awesome study skills have been swallowing me whole lately, so I will apologize up front for the lack of posts. This weekend, the enticing sun was beckoning us to get out of the house and stand underneath it. The railroad workers had been dislodging and hammering the planks underneath the tracks for a few days and apparently placed them all along the side so we decided to play in the dirt and rocks. Not long after some clicking of the camera, a loud rustling emitted from the bushes about 15 feet away. Let me tell ya, I don't know what was in there, but it was something big and something that didn't like to sit still. Perhaps it was a gator since we were nearly in a small swamp a nasty water, or maybe it was a cute innocent bunny. We didn't really feel like finding this out. So we left. With grease and dirt staining my bottom.

For good ole' V-Day, Conrad snuck me down to the beach to casualy stroll around the beach and take in the newly remodeled beach walk and brand new Hyatt hotel. This stroll then morphed into a romantic and giggle-filled dinner at our all time favorite restaurant for teriyaki steak and wasabi mashed potatoes. After dinner we made our way home after nearly hitting 30 scientologists with the car at one cross walk.

As for the clothing, I didn't expect it to be nearly as cold as it was that night down by the water. Good thing I wore the scarf. I just recently added this white dress to my mounding collection, I'm pretty sure I'll be wearing it hundreds of times this summer. Nothing better than a lightweight, flowy white dress in 100% humidity.

Hope you all had a great V-Day!

I popped into Zara this weekend to take a peek at some of their incoming spring collection, found this shirt, fell in love with the delicate material, and made my purchase. The weatherman called for a warm sunny day, but of course he was wrong and it ended up staying under 60 degrees, but that didnt stop me from wearing the ultra thin, sandy hued top of my spring dreams.

I also aquired a couple of new dresses from Forever 21 in preparation for summer. Now if only the sun would work a little harder to warm us up so we can start wearing less clothing.

p.s. Be my valentine?

The cold air and rain decided to leave Florida for the weekend which means we had to be outdoors. We took a short trip down to the beach for lunch and a little walk around town to soak up some of the delicately warm sunshine. Let me tell you though, the wind was absolutly powerful. I'm pretty sure my Frankenstein shoes were the one thing keeping my skinny ass anchored to the ground. I stayed extra casual for the beach with my boyfriend tee and some shorts. I'm pretty sure I got a couple of double takes with the heels, but it's not like I went in the sand. Sillies. I'm thinkin Spring might arrive a little early for us, but it might be too early to judge. Not looking forward to reunite with humidity.

A screamimg doorbell, a thud on my front poorch, and a nasty cough of a large engine shifting through gears, this only means one thing..the nice FedEx man has finally brought me my highly anticipated DV Marley wedges! You can't even imagine how excited I was. I pretty much looked like a child on Christmas morning. I ripped that box open with tiger-like instincts and slide those puppies one and pranced around all day in my house with The Eagles blasting Those Shoes. My dad decided to dub them Frankenstein shoes, he coudldn't believe what I was wearing on my feet. That makes them even better.

For those of you that live in the UK, I thought I would share an awesome competition for you all. It's the Americas Next Top Model Challenge.
