hot hot pink eye

Do you remember that band, Hot Hot Heat?
Are you getting tired of my horribly named blog post titles?

yes the carpet and the electrical outlet are sadly back. I didn't have time to venture outside before work, this time. Don't worry, I will again soon.

this is pretty girly for me, people.

nail polish - the pink color is forever21 and the minty green & sparkle is from urban outfitters
(I am lazy and only painted one hand the pink color, and then at work I added the mint and sparkle... the polish dries super fast!)

hey, miss pink eye.

I haven't worn this eye shadow since college, I hope I don't ACTUALLY get pink eye from wearing 4 year old eye shadow... woops. Also, I think I'm digging the left/right hand having different colored polish. I'm so trashy. Not really. but kind of.
Isn't this dress so girly for me? I fell in love with it as soon as it came to our store, and I was patient enough for it to go on sale and snag it for much less of a cost. It's really comfortable and cutesy but wearing it with these boots made it feel more... me? Also, I wasn't sure about these hot pink over-the-knee socks my bf got me, but I think I am going to love wearing them. They add a perfect amount of bright color to an outfit to keep me current in the trends and they satisfy my minimal craving of a splash of color. Imagine this outfit without the socks?! It'd be so much more boring...

So whether or not you remember the band Hot, Hot, Heat or not, it really doesn't matter. What does matter is that you get a way to listen to this band I discovered about a month ago, Tennis...
Female lead vocalist, kinda surf-y and upbeat, really cute and fun music. My favorite tracks are "Marathon" and "Cape Dory" off of their album Cape Dory. But honestly, their album is kind of one where I can listen to it all the way through and not want to skip ahead to my favorite songs... which is hard to do with me. I love to listen to the album while I'm driving. I often find myself singing along and doing a little car dance. It's fun.

Two more weeks and school is over. Oh, wait. I have a test this coming Saturday that's REALLY important. Booger. and about 3 projects due in the next week and then finals... GOSH, I'm really over it. Especially since the weather has been soooo soooo nice... -end complaining session now-

I can't wait to blog something more substantial for you all. I appreciate you continuing to visit, and am excited for the content I have planned once my summer begins.

XO.

I love the look! It makes me want to wear it - and I would look quite hideous in it with my 62nd birthday coming up, LOL. Reminds me of how I dressed during my university years in the 1970's. I look forward to reading your posts.

oooh, i LOVE this dress! not too girly at all - i actually think the pink eyeshadow toughens it up a bit, if that makes sense.
