I Couldn't Have Survived Summer Without...

Hello! I have composed a pile of some of my can't-live-without summer items. First off, I have a few of my accessories, which are nude heels, converse and a tan cross body bag. I was lucky enough to be invited to a few Sweet 16s this Summer and my nude heels were just the perfect fit for every outfit. They weren't an expensive pair, and I know you are all going to think this not your normal go-to store, but they are indeed a Payless shoes. I was in a hurry and grabbed them one day and ended up loving them! They aren't too high which I like ( I'm a shorty) and are made to be comfortable. The converse were just an easy pair of shoes to slip on when going to hang out with friends or to go to get ice cream. Who doesn't love a pair of these classic shoes? Last for this section is my tan bag. I got it from Charlotte Russe last season and it is now my favorite bag. It had a zip compartment on the inside and can fit everything I need. Not to mention it goes with EVERYTHING!

On to the beauty items of my summer. I am honestly not a make up wearer, so you don't have to take my items seriously. I loved the "Not Your Mother's" beach spray because it made my naturally wavy hair seem more on the curly side. It added volume and texture to my locks. The Maybelline "The Rocket" Mascara was my go to when going to a party or going out to a special occasion. A few coats made my eyelashes seem fuller and darker. Also from Maybelline, I loved the Color Eye Tattoo in "barely branded" it added a little bit off color to my eyelids or worked as a base. Its really light but gives a bit of shine! My last beauty item is the Lush "Colour Supplement" in light pink. I have acne and I am very self-conscious about it. This covers my spots without making it seem like I'm trying to cover them. Its really easy to apply and makes me feel less conscious about my skin. 

And last for this post, is a random object I picked up on my family vacation. I had a spare hook for hanging something from my ceiling, so I picked out this nice summer-y ornament. It just reminds me of summer in a calming way!

Even though I have 1 week left of summer, I've been feeling the end of summer blues. Also, sorry for the bad picture quality, I'm working on that! Thanks for reading, please feel free to follow and comment! 

 

The End of Summer?

It's already August, so that means less than a month before I go back to school. I also have to rush to read 4 books, and outline 4 textbook chapters by September 9th. Lovely (not). My summer hasn't been too productive, which is not what I had planned. I still need to finish my 50 service hours (not even close) and get ready for my Junior year of High School. 

Every one I've talked to said it's the hardest year out of high school. With the Psat, SATs, college decisions and all that other "fun" stuff, I will probably be spending less time with my friends and  more time studying. There goes my social life. Basically, I want to make the end of summer so eventful, that I never get to sleep in!

I'm going to Lake George at the end of this week, so that will be a lot of physical activity ( rope courses, kayaking, hiking) and will definitely help keep me in shape for the soccer season! As soon as I get back, I go into soccer pre-season for high school. That takes up A LOT  of my time. I hope to go trapezing a few times and take trips to the city. Anyway, these are a few of the things I want to get done before school starts: 

~Go to Coney Island

~Have a snow ball fight (dorky I know)

~Go to another concert

~Ombre shorts

~Go to laser tag 

~Go on a Bakery Tour

I hope these suggestions help some of you looking for something to do. If you have any suggestions for me, please feel free to comment! Thanks for reading this far! Have a great end of the summer!
