Such a fun night out with my girl Marina!

My first time ever at the track in Saratoga!!

Saratoga Track!

I know its been awhile since I've posted anything on here but this summer has

been so crazy in such a positive way, I really wanted to take the time on my special day

to reflect. I feel like I've experienced so much growth in just these few short months. 

I've ended some relationships, yet also met and started new relationships with such amazing

people! I began a new job that is so fun,I truly love being there. I've also made the giant step

of getting my own apartment! I'm still in the process of getting it together and at times

thinking about it overwhelms me but I can honestly say on my 23rd birthday

that I'm proud of the woman I am..and becoming.

Technically its still Spring..but it sure as hell does not feel like it outside!! So in spirit of this unseasonably warm weather we're experiencing, and especially the upcoming events (Rockin on the River on Wednesday nights in Troy, NY and Alive @ Five Thursday nights in Albany, Ny) I wanted to style some looks that I feel would be puurrrrfect to rock. If you're diggin what I'm puttin down stop by Some Girls Boutique in Troy, or Syracuse Ny, where you can pick up the exact looks I've styled above. If you can't make it to either store no worries you can shop online on the SG's iboutique.

Here's a little sneak peek from a photoshoot session for the Some Girls online boutique we worked on yesterday. I also ended up styling a couple looks for a post I have planned out! So stay tuned! <3

D.I.Y Fringe Crop

Before

Before cutting, try on shirt and eyeball where you would like the fringe to start. Its not necessary to give you an exact measurement because everyone feels differently about how much skin they would like their crop tee-shirt to show. Once you have that figured out place a strip of duck tape or masking tape where you want the fringe to start. This will ensure all your cuts are even and you don't accidentally cut up any farther into your shirt.

After you put on the tape you can begin to cut the bottom half of the shirt which will essentially become the fringe. Make sure you have a sharp pair of scissors preferably ones that are used only for fabric. The thinner you cut your strips of fabric, the more fringe you'll have hanging so keep that in mind. After you have finished cutting the shirt take each individual strip of fabric and give it a slight stretch. Be careful not to pull the strips too hard or you'll rip them right off the shirt!( I learned this the hard way! haha)

Ta Dahhh The final product!! This is a perfect look for those upcoming outdoor music events. Alive at 5 (Albany), and Rocking on the River (troy). I would pair this up with a brightly colored/ patterned high-waisted short or skirt.

Some new goodies that I realized I've yet to show you guys. All of it is either thrifted from the Salvation Army, or Metropolis Vintage. I'm especially fond of the Lanvin blouse I scored!! (pictured far right, next to the gold pleated skirt)
