TV OBSESSION

"Who's that girl? (Who's that girl?)
IT'S JESS"

- Theme to "New Girl"

So I've kind of been obsessed with television lately. Like its seriously a problem.
I don't know what I do more, watch television or randomly peruse the internet praying that something exciting will show up.

Honestly, it's not healthy. Like I need therapy.
So after finishing 8 seasons of a show that shall remain nameless, I've almost finished the entire season of New Girl in less than a week. Somebody help me. 




I LOVE Zooey Deschanel's character, Jess cause she's so adorable and frankly awkward like the rest of us. And of course, I'm a sucker for douche bags on television... (and maybe in real life....) so Schmidt is one of my favorite characters. And his relationship with Cece is frickin adorable.

Andddd I watched 5 episodes today...

BUT in my defense, each episode is ONLY 20+ minutes so it's not THAT bad. And you guys, the Olympics are on so like. Cut me some slack. Everyone is watching TV these days.

Then again, I go to bed every night feeling incredibly guilty that I've squandered all my time on the damn computer. Curse my knack for procrastination. 

Onto to the topic of the day:

Sleeveless collared blouses 

Now. This trend has literally been the "it" trend this summer, and personally, I think it's a really classic look.




It's completely versatile, plain tucked into jeans and a belt, with a skirt, underneath a blazer and tucked into some nice skinny jeans. They literally work for every season, especially if you get one if a neutral color.

These aren't fantastic pictures, but seriously go on tumblr, or better yet walk into tumblr in real life aka Forever 21 (H&M or Nordstrom works as well) and find yourself in sleeveless collared blouse heaven.

Another variation of this would be a denim collared sleeveless blouse. Such as this one from Forever 21:



And guess what, you guys? TODAY whilst watching Friends guess what Rachel Green was wearing? THATS RIGHT A SLEEVELESS DENIM SHIRT. AH. It's was craziness. (See the television rant in the beginning all tied into this blog post :D ) 

See for yourself:



She donned this look in Season 1 Episode 2, but ladies, this look is timeless. 
There aren't any better pictures, but you get the picture. 

Okay, short post for today, but I think I'm going to resort to these more often because they're more manageable and honestly I'm more motivated posting short blog posts. 

Until next time! :)

Geometric Print Jewelry

"And they say,
She's in the class A- Team
Stuck in her daydreams
Been this way since 18"

- The A Team, Ed Sheeran

Oh hey there stranger.

Okay I would do a long guilt-ridden intro about how I suck at blogging and how I'll get better but let's just got to the chase, now shall we?

So, if you haven't noticed, one of the hottest trends of the summer is geometric prints. And when I say geometric prints I mean like straight up 4th period geometry class back in 8th grade with the stupid triangles and coordinate planes. Remember obtuse triangles with one angle over 90 degrees. Yeah, those.

But not to fret, ladies because we won't have to classify the type of triangles based on the measure of their angles. Instead, we'll just be using them as statement pieces.

Now of course, geometric prints don't HAVE to be statement pieces, but like c'mon. They've got those nice bold, sharp edges that scream for your attention, and the great thing is that they're very chic and sophisticated so they don't overwhelm you. Depending on how you put together your outfit of course.

And when it comes to making a statement, JEWELRY is your best friend. It can really turn any simple outfit into a DANG GIRL outfit---without overdoing it

So one of my FAVORITE things when it comes to this trend is triangle necklaces. I prefer the ones that have 5 smaller pennet shaped triangles (or isosceles triangles if you want to be specific...) on a short necklace chain.


Here's one I adore from House of Harlow:


Now of course there's a lot of variation on these necklaces including ones that include a pyramid of triangles:





And I think this one is the most widely available, and I'm pretty sure they sell this kind at Forever 21:




Another popular "triangle necklace" is simply, a couple triangles on a chain.

Now let me tell you that I am like college girl broke SO urban outfitters is usually out of my league... er price range, but a girl can dream right?


This is my favorite piece from their current collection:

 


Isn't that just stunning? So simple, but so chic.

And to top it all offfffffff... HERE COMES. And are ya'll ready for this?

GEOMETRIC PRINT ON TOP OF GEOMETRIC SHAPE. 


Holy. Shizzz. You probably need to sit down for this one. Mind. Blown. Simply genius.  
Can we all just like admire the sheer intelligence it takes to design this piece? 












Okay. We can move on now.
Next we have:

EARRINGS!!
Can I get a "hell yeah"?

These earrings are gorgeous:


They're SO simple. Just triangles, but they are so stunning and unexpected. And the gold makes them look classic. Like "you could see Kate Middleton donning these classic".

Okay that might be a little pushing it...

BUT you know someone that WOULD wear these??? THATS RIGHT

ARIA MONTGOMERY from pretty little liars.

Goodness I love her style.

Okay in Season 3 Episode 7, Aka 'Crazy'

She wears these killer neon triangle earrings that the nurse makes her take off when she visits Mona in the insane asylum, and if you watch the episode you can see them.

Here's the best shot I could find....




Yay :) Doesn't it just make her outfit pop?

See ladies, thats the magic of geometric print, especially with her mostly neutral black and white outfit.

Alright it's getting late so I must sign off. But happy shopping!
