there's a geek in all of us.

hi!

so, just to clarify before we begin: this outfit was for a skit my friend & i did for our spanish class a few months ago. i had to dress up as a nerd. i really love this outfit, nerdy as it is!

shirt is one star by converse from target, skirt is thrifted, shoes are candies, suspenders & glasses are from walmart, pearl earrings were a gift.

i really like this outfit! it's so goofy, & i loved wearing it to school for three hours. xD i think the glasses were what really made it so wonderful. i haven't broken out the suspenders since i wore this, but i think i'm going to have to sometime soon! thoughts?


also, i was mega sick when i wore this, so i apologize for looking so under the weather. it was just too much fun to pass up!

life lately has been pretty bland... haven't worn any great outfits; i've been attempting to chill in tank tops & shorts. however, my best friend anna & i are hanging out, so i think i might do some outfit shots tomorrow.

with love,
rachel. <3

monochrome.

hello!

another spring outfit for you! (my outfits as of late have been bland. :/)

grey long sleeve is ralph lauren, black cuffed shorts are the limited, oxford-heels (i guess that's what you'd call them?) are rampage. harsh lighting is harsh.

these earrings are from a consignment store, and such a steal: 75 cents!

._. the expression above kind of horrifies me. but anywho! i love this necklace, which is from target. it's so feminine & such a statement piece.

tomorrow my mom & i are heading to a technology conference. woohoo nerds! i'm excited to go, because i'll be getting out of small town, alabama, i'll get some mom-daughter time, & shopping! there are two huge malls in the birmingham-area, & i'm hoping we can scour through both. there's also some cute surrounding suburb-towns whose downtowns are calling my name. i think it will be a fun escapade with my mom. :)

with love,

gold cardi + floral tiered skirt.

hey there!

today's post is going to be an old outfit from the early spring. i know, i know, i'm so late! but it's a cute outfit, no matter how belated the posting is~


gold cardi is delia's, black tank is charlotte russe, floral tiered skirt is roxy (i think, but for sure from pac sun), black tights, i can't remember. the shoes are from the same boutique in valdosta (city market) where i bought my yellow leather sandals.

pearl bracelet & wooden bracelet were gifts, colored bangles are lucky brand, bronze/silver/pewter bangles are from kohl's.

pearl & chain necklace is vintage (my grandmother's orginially); pearl cluster earrings were a gift.

i'm feeling kind of lazy, so i think i'm just going to end here. time to watch more star trek: the next generation! :D

birmingham southern! (+ college touring outfit.)

hello!

not much of a writing-post today... just wanted to show you some of the beautiful pictures i snapped at birmingham southern! :)

i kind of love how they just have this cute tree nestled near the dining hall.

another view of the beautiful fountain-courtyard (like the first pic).

i wish i could say i know what this building was... but i can't.

college touring outfit! the lighting outside was too amazing not to take advantage of... and the backdrop is pretty gorgeous too, don't you think?
blue embroidered v-neck is bcbg max azria, black tank underneath is charlotte russe. jeans are levi's. brown strappy heels are target.
jewelry (which you really can't see): vintage pearl&chain necklace, pearly (avon) earrings i wear all the time, faux-pearl bracelet (along with all the other bracelets i wear). bag is one star by converse (from target).

comment, loves!

spring break in valdosta. (post #4)

hey dolls!

last post about spring break in valdosta! it's been five days since i left; i miss it! my grandparents, the town, the weather (when it was lovely)... can't wait to be back. :)

outfit!

gold oversize cardi from delia's. black tank (with lace detailing) from charlotte russe -- for 99 cents! i am so good. xD jeans are levi's. brogues are candie's from kohl's. sunglasses are some brand from kohl's.



earrings are betsey johnson; cross pendant was a gift.

retail therapy, part 4.

navy roll-up-sleeved button up from target (one star by converse). faintly pinstriped denim shorts are union bay; have no idea where they came from, though.

make friends! reusuable shopping tote from ross.

the DEPECHE MODE wallet! (from ross.) ahaha, i think this is so funny. (depeche mode = band & label? xD) "depeche mode" actually roughly translates to "fast fashion", though, so i suppose it makes more sense for it to be the label of a wallet... ah, no way.

hand-painted cat mug is from ross; bought it for one half of my best friend anna's birthday present. teenybopper water bottle is from ross. it has a twist-top! love that.


we went to ross one day, & i couldn't help but take pictures of some of the coolest things i saw in the home decor; i always adore their eclectic mix of stuff. if only we had enough room in the focus to take this home with us...

(votive candle holder & two vases.)

(the dress-figures are actually jewelry holders. ballerina & stacked frogs are just figurines.)

i LOVE these plates & mugs! i want them for my own house.

in more recent news: it's saturday! i love the weekend.
comment me, please.

with love,
rachel. <3

spring break in valdosta. (post #3)

hey darlings!

#3 post of valdosta! don't really feel like typing much today (i'm exhausted), so i'm just going to leave you with some pics of outfits i wore & some more clothing i bought.

(btw, don't you just love that above expression? xDD)

outfit #1.

brown floral top is from forever 21; green cuffed shorts are charlotte russe. brown boots are bare traps, from belk's; braided belt is from american eagle. black tights are from walmart; no idea what brand, though.

bracelets: silver/bronze/gold super-skinny bangles are mudd, from kohl's. red/teal/green/pale yellow bangles are lucky brand. faux-pearl bracelet was a gift. earrings were a gift (from avon, however). chain&pearl necklace is vintage.

outfit #2.

earrings are betsey johnson. (even though they're obscured by hair.)

plain outfit, i know... but i went plant shopping in lowe's, so this outfit was good for that! xD turquoise polo is ralph lauren; khaki shorts are from ross. brown gladiator sandals are from rack room shoes (no idea what brand, though).



bracelets: skinny silver/bronze/gold is mudd, from kohl's. pale yellow/red/teal/green bangles are lucky brand. three-strand navy bracelet was a gift. ring is from mark.

retail therapy, part 3:

teal faux-wrap dress is from ross (& oh, so comfy!). grey long-sleeve is ralph lauren sport (from t.j. maxx).

violet&green floral camisole is from kohl's; it has a flap-like ruffle around the bust & it buttons up. so darling! black cuffed shorts are the limited (from t.j. maxx) -- these shorts are AMAZING: classic yet contemporary, modern, professional, and they fit like a dream.

both the plain mauve (that's what it is irl) knee-length skirt and the white baggy boyfriend shorts are from target.

khaki bermudas are from belk's (the belt has cute little birds on it!) & the khaki roll-up shorts are from ross.

pj pants are hello kitty! (because you care about my pajamas so much. xD) grey tee is from kohl's, and so so comfy! i think i could live in it.

so, my dear readers, what do you think? about anything: the outfits, the clothes, etc. i'd love ideas of what to do with the clothes & tips on my outfits. so, please, give me input! :)

with love,
rachel. <3
