my love with black and white continues

 photo IMG_7815683x1024_zps8f768e4c.jpg
I love wearing black and white.... see this post, this post, this post and this post. this stripe jacket from Zara has definitely catapulted me into wearing more black and white. This skirt is one of my new favorites from Topshop. I love the length and that's it doesn't lose its tightness. It's also quite comfortable. I've worn it at least 3 times since I got it.

Levi's 501 Denim Shorts

these are a few photos from a Levi's contest I entered. we basically had to show how we wear our Levi 501's. I recently picked these shorts up along with these from Urban Outfitters. They are basically old recycled jeans cut into shorts. It would have been an easy DIY but I'm not really a DIY kinda girl. I have zero patience..lol. I didn't win but it was a fun shoot.

I cant be more excited that the weather has been pretty effing awesome lately. I really love my new hairstyle too. although I've noticed people assume I am much younger with my new hairstyle. But hey...that's a good compliment! I do have a birthday coming up next month! I'm going to be traveling back to North Carolina to visit my family and it sure to be a fun time. I will definitely do some shopping too. Ohh on another note I am psyched that there is a new Scandal on tv tonight! ahhhhh I love that show its my kryptonite.
