Not a fashion blogger (PART 2)

Here's the second edition of Sunshiney Rach: Not a fashion blogger. Truly the only things preventing me from being A+ at that job is the following: a boyfriend (friend, even) to constantly take my picture, being stuck with a crappy camera and a self timer, LIVING IN A WARM PLACE (because too much snow on the ground to want to go out to take pictures in).  Basically, what I'm saying is I need a boyfriend, stat. Ok maybe not, I enjoy not having to rely on others for my happiness.

With that being said, I'm CRAVING spring. Like seriously craving. I also want to inform you I broke up with Mr. Groundhog so that's probably why you can figure we had a bunch more weeks of snow. I know I know, send your hate mail right this way:

snowy, NJ.

For all you stalkers, you know where to find me.  So with the help of my awesome camera I got for hannukah freshman year of high school(?, seriously gd bless this baby), I took some awesome (or not so awesome) shots with my AMAZING watch c/o Arvowear.
I got this little valentine because of a twitter contest, that Arvo occasionally does! Actually, I first found out about Arvo through a giveaway on a fashion blog and once I saw Mr. Time Sawyer...well...you know what they say....be still, my heart. The sad part is, I thought Demi Lovato came up with that phrase for the song I always jam to in my car rides to and fro (NEON LIGHTS!!!!)

























LIKE NEON LIIIIIGHTS....Ok. sorry. It's now stuck in my head. Demi 2, Rachel 0. Clearly we can tell I'm not a fashion model because of the carpet to wall ratio in the background of the left photo. And on the right? Well I tried showing off my watch so it was like a "yo-ho" type of pose.

And fashion bloggers do this type of shenans, so here it goes:
Shirt: Tj Maxx
Pants: Forever 21 (Last spring)
Sandals: DSW
Watch: Arvowear (le duh).

All in all, let's put our PJ's on right, keep the spoons in the kitchen, and don't do a weird dance that you think mother nature will approve of. Trust me, she's laughing at you, too.

So mother nature tell me what it's going to be take your pick. Let one of us go: me or him the terrible snow? PICK HIM. I'M TOO PRETTY TO GO.

XO,
Sunshiney Rach the not-so-fashion-blogger

"In a relationship with glasses"

Have you seen these bad boys? I mean, I made them as big as possible so you can see these beauts c/o Warby Parker. Who needs a boyfriend when you can spend your money on some hot specs. Really. If you've seen my not-so-fashion-fashion-posts then you'd know my style is equivalent to a typical city-goer: ALL BLACK EVERYTHING. Granted it's the greatest color on every living creature so it makes sense that my closet is only filled with it. 
(Can't forget about the striped [navy] shirts, too!)

Hold up. So I was told that WP lets you snuggle with potential matches for FIVE days before parting your ways like a melodramatic Sparks' movie? YES. *It truly is better than any dating site matches*

Since spring is on the way (when I say holla, you say back), I figured it's time for me to whip out the "colorful" things that have been shoved to the back of my closet and/or drawers. I'm not one for obnoxious colors, but when it comes in small sizes [and cute packages], I am so down. Quimby, the glasses above that I am ever so swooning over, comes in Absinthe, too! I love a good deep green to keep me happy (i.e money, too!).

BOOM. Behold the glory. Aren't you just totally willing to change your Facebook status now to "In a relationship with a great pair of glasses from Warby Parker"? It's fine, I really wouldn't judge because I'd be likely to do the same. I love how these glasses instantly gave me the exact type of outfit I would want to wear with them. So *coughs*, it's going down (I'm yelling timber!...get it, cause a tree is green...?)
Jeans [Madewell], Tank [Forever21], Coat [Forever 21]Sandals [J.Crew].
I'm honestly the biggest fan of larger and in charge coats that are bigger than I am, even though I'm beyond tiny.

Now you understand my love for the #Spring2014 collection (they obvi also have regular glasses like the Kimball), meet the limited edition gang! They are quite friendly, artsy, and outdoorsy so make sure to show them some lovin, too! Ya know since it's spring and we can't wait to pull out our plaid flannel blankets and chill under a tree at the local park jamming to some Norah Jones and Sinatra.

Only me? Shit..

I'm pretty sure if Audrey Hepburn was alive today, she'd be rocking them Wheelers. The trendy/hipster Audrey, of course. I wish I actually needed glasses because I'd be buying the Preston; super wayfarer-esq. If you are actually the hipster artsy instagrammer #notmainstream like you say, then you'd be happy to know that no two pairs are alike.

Marcell glasses? Anyone want to punch me in the face and maybe try to disrupt my normal eye site so I can rock these? Anything with tortoise shell is a friend of mine. 
I JUST WANT TO BE REALLY HIP OKAY?

So someone buy me a pair, we can work out a compromise.

Make today a great one, lovelys [aka buying glasses from Warby Parker (for you or your beau) because every pair they sell they give a pair to someone in need. Did that guilt you as much as those really sad commercials with Sarah McLachlans depressing voice? Good.]

I was not compensated for this post. All opinions are my own.
