Milkshakes

milkshake skirt dangerfield

Summertime is definitely on its way out, so I'm determined to enjoy what warm days we have left. I think one of the best ways to do this is with the consumption of ice cream. I hadn't been to Pittsford Farms Dairy yet this year, so my mom and I headed out to enjoy some frozen treats before the end of the season... and of course, this milkshake skirt from Dangerfield Clothing was perfect for the occasion.

Other than bidding farewell to ice cream weather, I'm pretty excited for autumn. I can't believe October is right around the corner. I feel sorta "basic" for saying that I'm looking forward to sweater weather, fall foliage, hot chocolate, apple picking, and pumpkins (plus Halloween and my birthday)... but I do honestly love all those things and I shouldn't have to feel ashamed about that. I'll get into how annoying I think the "basic" backlash is some other time, but suffice it to say: like what you like. As long as it's not hurting anyone, don't let anyone make you feel badly about it.

Friday Favorites #141

I, for one, am very glad it's Friday. Here are some things I've been loving this week:

I may already have a spiderweb skirt, but I love this Little Jun version for Halloween!

And finally, I liked seeing the pieces from Rachel Antonoff's new Betty and Veronica collection! I didn't love all of the pieces, but I definitely liked some and I'll be eager to see them when they're released.

I do enjoy this top (and Alia Shawkat, obviously)!
Have a great day!

Ella

Ella Dress Pinup Girl Clothing

It's starting to feel more like fall, but this dress makes me think of springtime! The Ella dress from Pinup Girl Clothing isn't my favorite style (it's a bit too long for my liking and the bust is a little wonky on me), but I couldn't possibly resist this gorgeous print and the sweet little mint bow. This print now comes in both a Jenny skirt and the new petite Jenny skirt (which is essentially the Darling Dames skirt – a favorite of mine). At some point, I may either get this dress hemmed or try to trade/sell in favor of the skirt version... but for now, this dress is staying put in my closet.

I can't believe it's already the middle of September. The last few weeks have flown by. I'm really enjoying my new job, and I think that's a big part of why time seems to go by so quickly. Of course, I'm still exhausted at the end of the week, but I'm so much happier when I'm creatively fulfilled and intellectually stimulated all day long. (I mean, who wouldn't be?). I feel very grateful to have found a position that I like so much and seems to be so well-suited for my skill set. It's a rare event, and I don't want to take that for granted.

Lemon Drop

kohl's lemon dress

I mentioned before that I'm making more of an attempt to use pieces already in my wardrobe for posts here. In addition to styling familiar pieces in new ways, I've also come across a few items that never really seemed "blog-worthy" enough to show off. Which seems silly, I realize... but I feel like there are some garments I wear a lot that just don't seem special enough to blog. I've had this Kohl's lemon print dress for about a year, but have never really worn it before. For some reason, it caused a huge stir on the internet and it seemed like everyone was on the hunt for it. It's definitely shorter than the dresses and skirts I normally wear these days, but because it's been unseasonably warm these past couple of weeks, I decided to pull it out from the depths of my closet and give it a spin.

In other news, the Fringe Festival starts up this week here in Rochester. We were supposed to be doing an encore presentation of a play I was in last January, but because my best friend/our director is still in the hospital after his kidney transplant, we decided it was best to pull out of the festival. It's disappointing that we aren't getting to do the show, but we were all in agreement that if it wouldn't be representative of what the show deserves, it was better not to go through the stress of attempting to put it together. Although it's a bummer, I'm a little relieved that I won't be spending this next week in intensive rehearsals – plus, now I can actually enjoy myself and see a bunch of shows! We already have tickets to see Pandora Boxx's show (she's a Rochester native and I'd actually seen her in stuff here prior to Drag Race), but there are lots of other things I want to see. Best of all, my apartment is literally steps away from the Fringe main hub, so I'm right near all of the action!

This may have been a short work week, but I'm definitely glad it's Friday! It's been a couple of weeks since I posted a new Friday Favorites, so here are some things that have caught my eye lately:

Honestly, I'm over the warm weather and am pretty ready for fall. I'm already coveting Halloween-y things... like this spooktacular GLOW IN THE DARK DRESS:

I'm not one for spiders, but I do enjoy this skirt:
