Ever since I was little I loved playing with my hair. When my mom still did my hair I would have her try out different hairstyles on me (such as one side of my hair in a pigtail and the other side down; thank god there are no pictures of that, haha!) Once I was old enough to do my own hair I used to change my hairstyle at least 3 times a day. It was obnoxious. However, I always took care of my hair. Even after I discovered the flat iron and straightened my hair everyday in middle school, my hair dresser was still shocked at how little damage there was to my hair. However, what I want to talk about in this post is last summer, when I made my biggest hair mistake ever and I want to share what I did and what products I used to try to fix it.

I used to only wear silver jewelry, but now I am obsessed with bright gold jewelry. Every piece in this photo is bright gold. The earrings are the gift I got from GREP,  and the bracelet and layered spike necklace are actually from Aeropostale. I never shopped in Aeropostale but at the outlets last weekend my sister wanted to shop there so I went in and found some awesome deals! The jewelry ws marked so low I got those two pieces plus a pair of earrings for $5! The bigger necklace is the necklace I got at the thrift store in Reading.

Today was also my last day at Sorrelli, which was sad! I really had a great experience there and it was my very first step into working in the fashion industry.  I learned a lot from everyone I worked with and stepped outside my comfort zone which is always necessary in having new experiences! Hopefully there are many more steps to come for me. :)

 
Today was different because I worked at Sorrelli's store instead of the headquarters. They are redoing their window as I mentioned in my Pinterest post, so I helped to get a few things ready for that. I painted chalkboard paint onto a few of their displays pieces and an artist will be coming to draw some really great designs on them. I took down a few things in the display that is up now just to make it easier when they do take it all apart. I also ironed these panels that they use to separate the windows. It was a messy kind of day and that's why I don't have a what I wore post for today because I wore a tshirt and shorts for painting! After that I worked in the store organizing and tagging product for an upcoming show. The day went so fast because I had so much to do. Here is a picture of the mess I made in their office:
 
I just absolutely love everything about Kate Spade. Her brand, the bright colors, the fun graphics (like the doughnut) and even their new creation: Darcel Girl; pictured below.
I purchased this bag at the Kate Spade outlet yesterday and I am completely in love with it. Gorgeous color and the bag has a very handy shape. It isn't too big of a bag but it can hold a lot. I'm super excited to use it today!
 
This is the first outfit I put together with my new Kate Spade bag! I chose a plain white tee with high waisted navy pants and my purple scarf which is also new; from New York & Company

I know, this is the same picture from my "Can we go thrift shopping?" post, but it is what I wore today! My family sort of woke up this morning and on a whim decided we needed a trip to the outlets. So, to shop all day, I chose a simple, basic, everyday comfort black tee paired with my favorite pair of capri pants. I dressed it up with some jewelry and this necklace (as I stated in my other post) is from a thrift shop. I am proud of this buy because not only do I like it, but I got a bunch of compliments on it today! I was surprised because, as I said, it was $2!

However, I have to admit I didn't choose all that wisely when deciding what shoes to wear though. I wore flat sandals that I love but they were not the best option for a full day of shopping. My feet HURT by the end of the day. But I guess that's what happens when your hard at work doing all that shopping ;)

Over the weekend I visited a thrift shop a friend told me about in Reading. I love finding bargains and the woman working there told me about several women that drop off all designer labels every once in a while. So I will definitely have to keep checking in there! This time around though I bought two necklaces and a little Kate spade bag that I thought would be perfect to take along to the beach. To the right is a picture of me today actually wearing one of the necklaces I bought ($2.00!) and below is the little summer Kate Spade bag I purchased ($4.50!)

 
Today I am wearing a loose and flowy pink top paired with my favorite black skirt. I put this outfit on this morning and thought it looked a little plain. So what better way to spruce it up than with a belt! I think this gold metallic belt adds some pizzaz to the outfit and makes it look a bit more put together.
 
Today for lunch the staff at GREP took me to Judy's on Cherry for lunch for the last day of my internship.  (I still have one more week but my actual supervisor will be on vaca next week.) It was delicious. I got the special of the day which was a mac and cheese type of dish but, of course, gourmet style. So yummy.

Then they got me a present! How nice of them?? They gave me a card which they all signed and then got me these pretty earrings and a Bella Jules gift card!!! I can't wait to use it, and I will definitely blog about whatever I get!!

I woke up today and it was pouring :( I hate when it rains so hard because I don't want my clothes or shoes to get ruined! But I thought this outfit would do. I paired a sheer, long, flowy top from rue 21 with my everyday pair of gray leggings. I figured these items are comfy and thin, so they will dry fast if I do get rained on. I also wore my booties (see here) for something sturdy that will keep my feet dry, all while looking stylish. :)
