If you ever look at the outfit details on my outfit posts, you know that pretty much my entire shoe collection is from bait footwear. I just love their shoes SO much! They have the prettiest, most unique styles in the most beautiful array of colors! They just released my favorite style (Ida) in a bunch of new colors (look at those hot pink ones!!!!) and some new styles that are definitely going to become new favorites, like that coral one with the fan detail at the top. Swoon!

Last Thursday I went to New York and I think walking around in the freezing cold for way too long (I swear every single solitary cab was occupied the whole time we were there) did a number on my immune system, because boy am I sick. Right now the only thing I want for Christmas is to feel better. And maybe some new shoes, too.

A few years ago my grandmom started giving me and my brother our Christmas money and letting us buy our own presents. I miss the surprise of not knowing what's under the tree, but I have to admit that days like today it's nice to have some money burning a hole in my pocket. No matter what, that money *has* to be spent on frivolous things. I can't use it to pay bills or groceries.. it's strictly for presents. These are some of the things I think my grandmom might get me for Christmas ;)

1. Junk food charm bracelet // Emerging Thoughts

3. Purple and white sunglasses // Lulu's

5. Ron Swanson bust // Urban Outfitters

6. My Sweet Art dress // Modcloth
Modcloth is offering 20% off *everything* with code ROBOPUG. This one is really dangerous.

7. Melissa bow ankle boots // ASOS
ASOS is offering 30% off absolutely everything (ahh!) with code GIMMEMORE.

THIS.
DRESS.

It's been listed as "coming soon" on modcloth for what seems like months, and I've been eagerly checking the new items page hoping it would appear in time for me to order before my birthday. Because, clearly, this is a birthday dress if there ever was one, right? Well, I seem to be in fate's good graces at the moment because it was listed for sale today, just in time for me to order it (albeit with an express shipping upgrade) JUST in time for it to still be my birthday dress! Yippee!!!!! :D (If you're equally enamored, it's available on modcloth here!)

ps. I'm sort of overdoing it with drawing hearts on things this week, but my broken tablet miraculously started working again last weekend and I've been eagerly overusing it ever since :)

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9

I'm leaving for Disney World in less than one month (eep!) so I think it's about time I start sorting out what I'll be wearing! It's probably no surprise that my first inclination was to pack one dress for each day. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized I really want to wear shorts instead. Dresses are my go-to for pretty much everything from lounging around the house to family outings. I think they're the most comfortable thing on the planet, but for some reason I'm just not feeling them for this trip. It's partially because I'm planning on wearing sneakers and my legs look really stumpy when I wear sneakers with knee-length dresses. But mainly I want to be very carefree -- no windy day worries and no caution about bending over or getting onto rides.

Anyway, to make a long story shorts (get it? shorts?) this is what I have in mind for my trip! Lots of pastels with pops of black and white :) I already own the pink sneakers (they're so comfy and cute!) so I've been building most of my travel wardrobe around them.

Also, side note... that polka dotted cardigan is from the forever 21 kids section -- I was out shopping with my mom recently and made the life-changing discovery that some XL kids tops actually fit (button-up blouses are a definite no, but sweaters and regular tops fit perfectly!) I'm usually a size medium/large in adult tops so I was pretty surprised, and super duper thrilled! The prices are so much cheaper and the style is (somewhat embarrassingly?) a lot closer to my own than adult stuff. And since I'm only 5' tall, the length fits me better too! Just thought I'd throw this out there in case anyone else wants to try it out :)

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9

It's been a while since I did a wishlist wednesday (I don't seem to have as much time for online-shopping nowadays, which I guess is a good thing for my wallet!) so I thought I'd put together a little list of things I'm coveting from Modcloth for fall! As much as I adore my normal pastel palette, I'm just as much of a sucker for autumn hues as anybody else :)

By the way, if you've never purchased from modcloth before, now is the perfect time to start... they're offering $20 off your first order of $50 or more if you follow this link. But the offer expires October 2nd so hop to it! ;D

If ever there was a dress that was Charlotte-Charles-ish, this is it. A DRESS COVERED IN PIES!! Even the shape just screams "Chuck!" am I right?! I want to buy it and wear it with a little cropped cardigan and over-sized cat-eye shades while I track down murderers with a boy who can bring back the dead. Okay, that last part is highly unlikely, but at least I can wear the dress with a sweater and pretty sunnies ;)

I'm surprised (and a teensy bit disappointed) that it isn't called "The Pie Hole dress" or "The Pie Maker dress" as an homage to Pushing Daisies, but c'est la vie! Sometimes I forget that not everyone is as obsessed with dresses that remind them of this tv show as I am, lol ;)

Actually, it's just one of many best-wishlist-wednesday-finds-ever, all from an etsy shop called The Science Boutique. My favorite is the Tesla Brooch, but my mind can't even comprehend the amount of awesomeness going on in this store. A close runner-up in the favorites category would be this charm bracelet depicting the evolution illustrations from Carl Sagan's Cosmos. Speaking of my hero, they also have two Carl Sagan brooches and a necklace! Best etsy shop ever? I vote "yes!!!!"

Finally, a galaxy print dress that I like love. I've mentioned before that they always seem to be made in really unflattering shapes or fabrics, but this is not only fit-and-flare (my favorite) but the fabric is velvet. Can you say awesome x100?!

It's a wee bit pricey though, and actually I just purchased galaxy fabric to make my own dress! I'm using this fabric (it came in the mail last week and it looks seriously amazing in person) and I'm leaning towards New Look pattern #6020... I just wish I could find one I like where the bodice was all one piece though, so it wouldn't break up the design (the bodice on 6020 is assembled from three separate pieces.)

Even if my homemade dress turns out fantastic, I'll probably end up buying this one when it (hopefully) eventually goes on sale. 9 times out of 10 it seems like if I just wait long enough, my favorite asos things end up reduced by 50% or more! *fingers crossed*

asos has been having a big sale for the last week or so, and today I got an email with a coupon code (HAPPY4JULY) for an extra 15% off everything (including the already reduced sale stuff!) So I think I'm going to celebrate July 4th by indulging in a little good old fashioned American consumerism ;D

Specifically I'm looking at this heart print pinafore, this carousel print dress (so cute!), and this cupcake peplum pencil dress! The last one isn't a silhouette I'd usually wear, but at that price (and with such a sweet novelty print) I figure it's worth trying :)
