day thirtyone. GO GREEN! GO CHICAGO!

GO GREEN! This day was a great day for some Spartan Football in Chicago! I had so much fun with my 'cousin' Lauryn and her friend Rob! We did a quick spartan gear photo shoot on the roof before heading out to watch the game. I always have a hard time leaving Chicago and really dont want to today.....

 i love all of these lovelies :D

day thirty. something borrowed and something new

 yay CHICAGO! I was helping my cousin Lauryn move in to Chicago all day (pure chaos...another story for another time) so i didn't really get 'dressed' until after dark! I brought my sparkle shorts and a top that I ended up not liking so Lauryn let me borrow this top! I love the zipper I'm obsessed with zippers lately....

 i usually like to go outside for photo shoots but well it was dark so we found these crazy wall flowers and decided to use flash quick :D.

 this little sneak peak is the 'something new' of this post! My new tattoo!!! I love how it peeks out of short shorts with part of Dumbledore's quote. "To the well organzied mind, death is but the next great adventure". With a phoenix. I am so excited about it. I am getting it done by Matt at Plowshare Studios in Grand Rapids.VEGAN INK!

Having a great time with my favorite 'cousin' in Chicago! Look out for another Chicago post tomorrow!

day twelve. turquoise striped silk and black cutoff shorts

here is a sneak peak into the timeline of this blog! This was Friday the first day of sidewalk sales! It was very mild out but I knew i would be running around so i wore this silk blend top and cutoff black shorts to keep comfy. I was very comfy! 

we were right by the Burton sample tent. Those guys were the epitome of snowboard culture. I loved chatting with them all day they were funny. 

gotta keep it light and fun for the craziest days in Grand Haven retail! 

my shoes are from Meijer. I kept getting compliments on them and then people were shocked I got them at Meijer. I got them with my mom and I actually remember getting the wrong size and dorkily taking them back. Who doesn't try on shoes. This was when i was still sucked into fast fashion. 

My necklace is the Harry Potter deathly hallows and i got it from this amazing shop on Etsy. He makes all sorts of badass movie/tv related stuff (HP, Hunger Games, Twilight, Game of Thrones etc.) and I want it all!

Chainmaille bracelet again from Hightower Chains. Check out his blog I have been helping a bit with! Other bracelet is Juicy Couture i got at Nordstroms Rack awhile back. Ring is my Grandfathers turquoise. 

Thanks to Patrick Grady one of my famed photographers for the day! 

Gotta love this sunglasses from Gliks. 

My other famed photographer Lindsey Marlow! Oh how i miss her already!
