#ShareACoke

I've been meaning to drag my beautiful friend Mikayla in front of the camera with me for ages, and the perfect opportunity came knocking when Coke extended their invitation to "Share a Coke" with a friend this summer to me! Coke sent two custom-made, personalized bottles with our names printed on them my way. Having an uncommon spelling of my name, I would never find my moniker on those personalized keychains at souvenir shops - so imagine how exciting it was to see "Kailey" printed on a Coke bottle…!

This spring, I actually made a blink and you'll miss it cameo in Coke's This Is Ahh commercial. Even though I'm only in it for a split second (at around 5 seconds in - can you see me?), getting tweets from readers and friends who spotted me in the ad on TV or in theaters was absolutely unreal!

I'm Wearing: SWEATER: Forever 21 (old; similar at Hello Holiday) SKIRT: c/o Choies (similar) SHOES Wal-Mart
HEAD SCARF: ModCloth (similar)

Mikayla and I drank our cokes while eating huge slices of pizza and strawberry sundaes, and later when we went to the thrift stores where we looked through racks and racks of clothing! All in all, a pretty perfect summer day ☀

Who would you like to share a coke with this summer? ♡

Sailor Kitten

DRESS: ℅ Sourpuss Clothing NECKLACE: ℅ Sourpuss Clothing SHOES: Thrifted

Considering cats prints and sailor hats/collars are two of my favorite things to wear, a dress combining the two seemed too perfect to exist - but thanks to Sourpuss Clothing, it does. I seriously can't get over this darling dress - I love the minty blue and pink color scheme (two hues I gravitate to towards over and over) and retro inspired silhouette. Plus - look at that collar!

And, as if it wasn't cute enough on it's own, Sourpuss also has a matching necklace!

I paired the dress with these equally darling sling back heels I thrifted for only $3. Rarely do I unearth cute shoes at thrift stores (I have no idea why?!), so I felt like I struck gold with these! They remind me a little bit of those Melissa heels that have been on my wishlist since before I even cared about clothes and shoes…!

I hope you all are enjoying summer! We finally found a reasonably priced air conditioner so my makeup isn't always melting off - phew! <3

Snapshots

Summer is in full bloom, and with the beautiful sun and flowers comes allergies and melting from heat (no air conditioning ahhh!). Unfortunately, I haven't been able to create new blog posts in a while for you guys, so I thought a lil update was in order!

An incredibly talented artist, I've been head over heels in love with Sibylline Meynet's dreamy pieces since I first saw her Adventure Time illustrations circling tumblr months ago. Not only did Sibylline draw me (I almost cried when it popped up on my instagram feed...!), but she sent me the original drawing when I bought her darling pastel dolls pins and Adventure Time stickers! Truly one of the most magical parcels I've ever received - and Sibylline's drawing of me now hangs in my office framed - is that vain?! ;)

I've always loved film photography, but have been so intimidated by it to really pursue learning how to use film cameras - so I finally caved and bought a Fujifilm Instax Mini figuring it would be a good way to start experimenting! And I am absolutely in love - all of my pictures are digital, and being able to hold physical copies of your photos without printing them is such a luxury! There is a bit of a learning curve (I'm so spoiled with digital - taking a billion pictures at once until it's perfect hehe), but overall really easy to use! I can't wait to take more and hopefully get better *__*

July Fourth makeup! // Current uniform: f21 blouse, American Apparel tennis skirt, Modcloth purse & ASOS bag // Manicure of choice this summer: watermelons to match my shorts! // Being a busy bee and wearing these darling Hello Holiday glasses!

I have a bunch of exciting things up my sleeve - watch this space!

How's your summer so far? Have anything fun planned? <3
