bleh -- warning : rant post

do y'all ever get in the mood where you know you HAVE to get something done, yet you keep saying you'll do it tomorrow and never do? 

well guess what?

i'm in the mood, and have been all summer. i just really really don't want to write my summer reading essays. i love reading, i just can't stand analyzing what i just read / over thinking each book. i got to choose my own books which was great, so i finished them at the beginning of the summer. i know have to write three 800 word essays on my books and just can't even begin to explain how much i don't want to write them.

major ugh. 

sorry this is turning into a rant post, but we all have them right?

lets just go with right.  

not only do i not want to write my essays, but for the past two weeks i had to go on a gluten free dairy free diet. it wasn't to loose weight or anything, i just have been having severe stomach pain and one of my doctors thought that this diet would help! 

it was super hard to not eat any food with those two ingredients, but all in all i think it really helped my stomach. today was the first day that i could start eating gluten, and at lunch i had half of a bagel.

after i ate the bagel i was feeling fine, so my mom brother and i went to the kentucky fair. going to the fair was awful, because the gluten in the bagel started to hit me while we were there! i felt so sick, and i don't plan on eating gluten and dairy again anytime soon. 

on the bright side i'll be healthy.

on the downside i'll be hungry for "good" food! 

this is completely random, but lately i have been obsessing over etsy! i think it's so cool that pretty much everything is homemade/vintage. i also think its great to shop on etsy because the prices are great, and not everyone and their mother buys from it! i recently stumbled upon this adorable shop called EllandEmm. this store is stocked every once and a while, and the products are beyond adorable and they are also super duper cheap! definitely go check her store out and follower her on instagram and twitter (@jenn5716) so you'll be the first to know about her product updates!! 

she has these precious earrings

earrings found here

and she also has these adorable necklaces

find the necklace here

have you been putting something off that needs to get done?

what's your favorite etsy store/product?

thanks for reading!

flea market swag

today my family hauled ourselves to the flea market in my city's downtown. i had never been before, and was really excited to check it out! there were about thirty different booths, including food, and they were all super cool! i love going to flea markets, because the people that go are really cool and have great style and because you can get some great deals. also, you can find some really cool handmade items! i think i racked up, and didn't put too much of a dent in my wallet, which is always good! anyways, here is what i purchased! 

the first thing i got was this super cute pirate key chain. i have no idea why, but i think anything pirate is super adorable. also, when/if i get my own set of car keys (hopefully sooner rather than later), i want to have the coolest key chain around town. i think key chains really describe people, and since i'm cool i have to have a cool key chain.

also, this keychain was only $4. 

STEAL! 

next, i got this super cool wrap-ish bracelet. although i am more preppy, i do have some edgy tendencies sometimes. i also LOVE pink and yellow together, so the pink and yellow skull fits me perfectly. my mom bought this bracelet for me, and it was $15! 

this bracelet caught my eye, and because i love the stacking trend i had to add this to my bracelet collection! the cool part about this bracelet is that the clasp is a glittered out guitar pick (which you can't see in the picture). also, this bracelet was only $5. 

doesn't get any cheaper than that! 

lastly, i got this adorable key necklace. i know that i said above that i love the bracelet stacking trend, but even more than that, i LOVE the necklace stacking trend. i think it's so so cute when you wear layered necklaces! especially when they are all dainty and cute. ugh i want more;)

right now i'm wearing this key one, and a silver hear one. 

i will most likely show you a picture of them together soon! 

and this necklace was only $10!

as for fashion at the flea market, i saw a TON ton ton of maxi dresses and skirts. and now i want one so badly. so badly. i have one, but it's more of a coverup because it's super see through, but maybe i'll buy a slip soon. any who, this is my attempt at creeper pics of women in cute maxi dresses.

honestly, i wish i could've asked them if i could buy their dresses off of them.

in the most un-stalkerish way;)

do you go to your towns flea market?

do you like the maxi dress / maxi skirt trend?

collective haul!

recently i have been venturing out of the house more. each time i venture out it seems i add an item to my closet! here are my latest purchases.. 

my grandma gave me this wallet and this bracelet. both of which are super cute! 

turquoise is my favorite color, so naturally i'm in love with the bracelet.

sorry you can't see the whole thing, my photography skills were lacking.

on the right is the lilly pulitzer dress that i had been waiting oh so patiently to receive! it fits like a glove , so i'm glad that i didn't cancel my order.

on the left is a pink sweater. i bought this in an XL, because i like when things are big and loose. the material that it's made out of is super light, but heavy enough that it will keep you warm if you need it to.

on the left is a sigg water bottle. they really keep your drink cold. there are also SO many designs to choose from! 

on the top right is a pair of wallabies that i got half price at the zappos outlet. i bought these for back to school! 

and on the bottom right is a neon neon orange belt from j.crew. i love the pop of color trend, and this orange (surprisingly) goes with a ton of dresses in my wardrobe! 

what's your latest purchase?

thanks for reading!
