Outfit Post With Brooklyn Industries!

I had so much fun shooting these pictures with my good friend Randi! The lovely people at Brooklyn Industries were kind enough to let me test-drive their Devon blouse. My style is typically much more edgy (for proof of this fact, see here), so it was really nice to give softer colors and silhouettes a try. The blouse was beautifully made, and I loved all the pleating! I decided to throw a printed silk T-shirt under the blouse to keep it modest.

Again, big thanks to Brooklyn Industries! You can find the Owen Blouse here. Also, be sure to check out my friend Randi's work!

Have a great weekend, and make sure you enter our giveaway!!!

Born And Raised In A Summer Haze: Club Monaco Spring 2012

via Refinery29

I'm dying over this lookbook. The lighting makes me crave for long August days and warm summery weather. I miss wearing skirts and having freckles pop out all over my face. Also, how amazing does Sasha look in these? I'm obsessed with her perfectly golden hair. Thanks, Club Monaco, for making me totally homesick for summer.  Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go put on a warmer sweater and some boots. You can find more of the look book here. While you're at it, like 'em on facebook as well!

It's Summer Time, It's Adventure Time

I'm ridiculously in love with these photos, the first one being of of Eartha Kitt from 1952, and the second from thelocals.dk. They just scream summer to me!

Well readers, I did it. I finished. I survived the ups and downs and trials that come with sophomore year, and I came out alive. Don't get me wrong, it's been one heck of a school year! But now, it's time to put the books into stacks I won't ever look at again, and to take all the ACT prep tests and put them into boxes. I don't want to think about school again for at least 3 months. Right now, the only thing on my mind is summer summer summer.  I know everyone's pretty excited for summer, and I am no exception. I'm. So. Excited. For. Summer.  
As we speak, my bags are packed and ready to go, and my plane ticket is sitting next to me. I mentioned this in previous posts, but I'll be going on a bit of a vacation. It's really going to be something! I'll fill you in more about it and I'll hopefully have some pictures to share with you when I get back. I'll be gone for a whopping 3 weeks, and I'm crazy excited. During that time, I'll have had turned 16! (Something I'm not sure I'm terrified or ecstatic about.) 
I really want to take a bit of a break from so much technology while I'm away. I'll still be posting, but not as often. Keep following though! Because I'll be keeping you updated on my adventures (or misadventures) and also continuing to share my favorite fashion finds. 
And now, my dear friends, it is time to bid you adieu. I'll miss you terribly and what will probably end up happening is I'll be posting more often then someone 'on vacation' should be posting (blogging is my addiction... I don't know if I'll be able to keep away.)  
Before I dash off to finish packing, here's to a fantastic, wonderful, exciting, and magical summer. Here's to a summer filled with new friends, old friends, laughter, family,  new memories, new moments to cherish, and plenty of new adventures. 
I'll miss you.
Justine.

Let's Travel The World

After tomorrow, I'll be done with school for the summer! I'm so excited to start traveling, and this editorial is perfect inspiration. The bold colors are stunning and I think her camera T shirt in the last picture is just the cutest!

I'm hoping this will be a really great summer. I'm turning 16 in a little over a week, I'll be going on a road trip with my family, and I'll be going camping for a week. What are your plans?  Here's to a great summer!
