Sponsored Post: GlassesUSA

I've worn eyeglasses since I was twelve and I can't imagine not wearing them; they're like a part of my body in a way. So I love finding new places to check out cool but cheap glasses since I don't want to spend a fortune on them.


GlassesUSA.com has a wide array of glasses at such an affordable price. Some are as low as $39! On the website, you can search by frame type, style, price, and even lens type. They have plain glasses for if you're just a casual glasses-wearer and they also have very trendy glasses too. The glasses may be inexpensive, but they certainly don't look it. I really like the selection they have and definitely saved some to my favorites folder!

Here's a few of my faves...
How cool are those studs?

Loving this purple color.

They even have prescription sunglasses! These colorful ones are great for summer.

Outfit: Tri-Color


This is the outfit I wore to see Dark Shadows with Jackie and her boyfriend, Ben.

The movie was okay, not as good as thought it was going to be. There were too many unanswered questions and we didn't get to know most of the characters even though they're supposed to be important to the story (like the young boy, David, and his sister, Carolyn). Johnny Depp made Barnabus come alive though, so it was fun to watch him, and Michelle Pfieffer was believable as the matriarch of the family. But for some reason it was uncomfortably awkward to watch Eva Green's character, especially at the end when she confronts the Collins family. And we're just supposed to take it for granted that Barnabus and Victoria are in love because she looks like his past love, but their falling in love isn't really shown. So not one of my favorite Tim Burton movies, but it wasn't terrible.

Lusting: Colorful Converse

Since my junior year in high school I've worn a pair of black low-top Converse (that's seven years!), though obviously not the same pair or they'd be beat to hell, but I'm thinking of branching out and getting a bright, colorful pair.

I'm thinking of getting Pool Party Blue.

What do you think? Do you stick to black or colorful Converse?

Outfit: Tribal & Kate Spade

I wore this simple outift on a day when it was actually warm and sunny and then the next few days were cold and dreary. Luckily, it's back to being in the 60s and 70s again, which I think is the perfect temperature. If it's below the 50s then it's too cold and then if it's above the 80s it's too hot.


This purple shirt has always been too short for some reason (I think maybe it shrunk in the wash), but no one can tell when I wear a skirt over it. Perfect solution! And I love how this skirt has pockets. Not enough skirts have pockets in my opinion. I never know what to do with my hands if there aren't any.

Top // Forever 21
Skirt // Forever 21
Sandals // Kohls
Glasses // Bonlook


If you follow me via Twitter then you'll know that on Friday I got a giant box in the mail. One that I probably could've fit in. (Not that I tried or anything.) Inside were some wonderful Kate Spade goodies from a giveaway that Lucy Laucht hosted. I received a travel nail polish set, playing cards, large tray, and inflatable pool ring. Thanks, Lucy and Kate Spade!

And now for your viewing pleasure, my dad and little sister are going to do something on the trampoline that they call "The Bronco."


Happy Monday!
