Now or Never.

I'm guessing my theme of the week is all about finding inspiration through other outlets than my own crazy noggin. I turned to Vogue magazine the other day, and today? It's all about my pinterest feed.  I'm truly blessed to be a millennial because all the different resources we have today. But then again, ladies in the early 1900's were definitely NOT concerned with if their skirt looked poofy-er than their besties...atleast I don't think so.

As you can tell from all social media spaces of mine that the verdict is I'm not to sure how to wear other colors besides black. Black goes with anything, any season (even when your swimming in your own sweat in the sunlight at a baseball game). However, I'm definitely a fan of colorful attraction in other places and things.

Chinese Laundry shoes that just debuted? I need to save cash money for that one. They are perfect wedges and like all Chinese Laundry shoes, they are as comfortable as your sunday morning slippers. Scouts honor.

The black striped shirt just GETS me in every single way possible. The beautiful thing about that baaaaaad boy is that he can tag along almost always. He sports my two favorite things: no color and visual pleasing things for this Miss New Booty.  (source)

However I'm actually pretty sure I'm dying (like, literally #MillennialProblems) about the Zelda book. My sister keeps recommending in and that is on my To do list behiiiind my historical novels, this book that I'm currently reading, AND my other Zelda stories.

Being that everything on my Summer pinterest board is inspiring me in one shape and doodle or another, the bike, the hat, the flowers -- all make me think of summer. So if there is a way to transport myself into that photo (NOT BY PHOTOSHOP), let me know stat. When I picture summa summa summa time, I see that. Don't you?

WHY DID MY MOTHER GRACE ME WITH THE PRESENCE OF NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW TO WEAR COLOR? I think it's okay until I see how pleasant people look in colors like orange and red and green. But I did come across this boho/hipster/fabbyfab dress via NecessaryClothing.com.

Now or Never. If you take a step or two back, have a few sips of some pinot grigio, and think about that phrase, it's more powerful than meets the eye. As cliche white girl as I'm going to sound, I think this summer for me is all about taking chances to further my career and outlook on the person I want to become. If you choose the never in the heads or tail games of life then you are simply stuck with regret and that just flippin' sucks. So get to the now and get 'er done (just like that last chug of ya wine glass).

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Blogger girl here. Your one and only source into the exciting and (most days) boring lives of a lifestyle blogger. Recently spotted was Sunshiney Rach giving the fashion world a try. Despite being in bed by 10PM most days and drooling over everything lonely boy does, she has somewhat of a fashion sense. 

I think we can all admit that we would love nothing more to rock plaid and grunge like Little J, Headbands out the wazoo like B, and of course how the effingg hell does S get her hair to look like she rolled out of bed but definitely with a side of sexy. #SheWokeUpLikeThat. At the end of the day, I would be fine with being me and dating a Humphrey...Dan, preferably. However, unlike our favorite TV drama's we hate saying goodbye to at the end of each episode, we can only do our best to attempt to be half as awesome as them, right? Right. 

While reaching season 2 episode 1 of Gossip Girl (Don't worry I'm rewatching), Everybody and their moms (okay, minus B's/Lonely Boy's) ship off to the H to the Amptons for some booze cruises, crazy flings, rekindling loves, and networking the shit out of the White Party (we see you, Jenny). Besides the yearning for white dresses (since it's after MDW...obv), we were holding our horses for Dan to show up from his one night stand flirty faze to greet S at the party in her Grandpa's suit from the '70s. Can you say yum? I can...but I think you get the picture by now -- I love Dan Humphrey. 

A few years and some ago, it's inevitable they forgot my invite to this grand event. If I was invited however, I would definitely be sporting some of these. Even if I was never meant to attend (and stalk the living day lights out of Lonely Boy), I can at least help you find a dress that a dude will be drooling over you for.

You know you love me.
XOXO,
Sunshiney Rach
