Although this was a mild summer, it feels as if fall came out of nowhere with its' cool temperatures. And while everyone is slowly dressing in light layers, I'm still in denial that summer is over. I'm rocking shorts and sandals for as long as the weather allows. Summer forever!

My new, sweet ride thanks to Hector!

Snaps of random abandoned places and the golden hour.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Chambray and Thrifty Ways

Gap Shirt     |   Lucky Brand Jeans   |   J Crew Necklace (similar here and here )

Can you believe that this is my first chambray shirt? Whoever came up with chambray is brilliant. I would describe it as a mix between a denim and an oxford shirt. Softer than denim but less preppy and more laid back than an oxford. Since there was a lot of blue going on in my outfit, I brightened it up with this necklace. It's almost possible to wear a bright, floral necklace and not have a good day!

I'm a big fan of tote bags and leopard, so I was naturally drawn to this bag. I bought it half off the original price which was even better. The zippers on the side are functional, so I can choose to hide or show off the leopard print. And as much as I love tote bags, they tend to lose their shape because I carry too many things and end up with bag sag at the bottom. I didn't want to spend $20 on a base shaper, so I used my thrifty ways to make one out of cardboard! It's not the best as cardboard tends to bend but it works for now.
