#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? ♡

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

Watermelon Taffy

TOP: Forever 21 SHORTS: Lazy Oaf x Nasty Gal
SUNGLASSES: Fred Flare (no longer available - similar) FLATS: Wal-Mart

After a year of blabbing about how much I love and wanted them, I finally decided to just say "yolo" and purchased a pair of the Lazy Oaf x Nasty Gal watermelon shorts…! Truly perfect for the beautiful summer weather we've been having and incorporating the color pink and fruit (two things I love to wear hehe), they are easily one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe *___*

To ensure the watermelon shorts the main focal point, I kept the rest of my outfit simple and just wore a Forever 21 crop top and plain black flats.

I hope you are all enjoying your spring/summer - I have a couple exciting things slated for this summer and I am soooo excited! Do you have anything fun planned? ♡♡♡

Berta Pfirsich x Hana Haley for Ballad Of... Magazine

Last March, I got a message from photographer Berta Pfirsich asking if I could model Lazy Oaf pieces for Ballad Of… magazine! It sounded like a dream come true, but that month I also found out my grandfather would be having emergency open heart surgery and would be needed at a moments notice. I am forever grateful to Berta for going above and beyond scheduling this shoot around this scary event - and also to the absolutely amazing Hana Haley (who I've had the honor of working with before) for agreeing to do a collaborative shoot with us and driving Berta up to the location!

I met Berta, Hana, and Savannah Jane Bigley at Enchanted Forest - a darling nursery rhyme themed amusement park! Berta is an absolute doll who was even sweeter in person and gave me a big hug the minute we met - she is so incredibly talented and I had such a wonderful time working with her!

And you already know how I feel about actual goddess Hana Haley hehe <3

It was so much fun prancing around the misty theme park in Lazy Oaf (which you probably already know, I absolutely l o v e) pieces and alongside such talented babes!

Thank you so much again ladies for making this happen ♡ You can see a very amateurish behind the scenes video I shot that day on my Youtube channel here (Youtube fixed the shakiness of the video but in doing so messed up the text I put on top of it - so apologizes for the jumpy text! Trying to figure out how to fix it hah)!

You can order your copy of Ballad Of… Hardcore Happiness here. Mine is on the way and I am impatiently waiting it's arrival...! <3

Sorry this post is so long eek!

FAUNA CROP TOP: ℅ of Samantha Pleet SHORTS: Forever 21 (sold out, similar) SHOES: ASOS (sold out, similar) CLUTCH: ℅ Klear Klutch PHONE CASE:: ℅ Zero Gravity

I found it: the outfit I want to live in this summer! As you know, I am a huge fangirl over Samantha Pleet's designs - and this crop top is one of my very favorite pieces of hers ever. So imagine my surprise when, inside a little parcel from Samantha herself, tucked beside two of her beautiful lookbooks and a flower, was this crop top!!! ;_____; The graphic, tropical leaves that decorate this piece is paradisiacal and the scalloped hem is icing on the cake!

I decided to pair it with these simple high waisted shorts (that are SLIGHTLY shorter then I thought they would be…! Oh well, the parallels of shopping online), my trusty ASOS metallic flats (is silver a neutral? :*), and this darling flamingo printed Klear Klutch!

I can't think of a cuter, more apt for Spring/Summer print then pink flamingos and I have always loved the idea of a clear purse. Not only that, this clutch is truly beautifully made and is big enough to fit my important essentials - like heart sunglasses and my phone (which is outfitted in it's new Valentine's day candies covered case by Zero Gravity) AND a couple frivolities like my cute lipstick and compact (I love showing them off hehe)! I also adore this holographic version they have!

Two of Samantha's beautiful lookbooks and a beautiful fake flower like the ones featured in her S/S 2014 collection - finding these in my mailbox was like receiving a slice of magic from Samantha's world ♡

These were taken in my grandmother's beautiful garden - I just had to pick some of the stunning flowers and made a makeshift flower crown like the ones worn in Samantha's S/S lookbook! :*

I hope you are all had a nice Memorial Day weekend! Mine was low-key (read: boring) - but I did end up eating lots of ice cream and taking advantage of some sales. How did you spend yours? <3
