Kimchi Blue







I fell in love with this floral print romper from Urban Outfitters when I first spotted Lauren Conrad sporting it. The vibrancy of the colors and floral detailing is just amazing. I couldn't stop staring at it. I knew I had to have it for prancing around in during these last few weeks of Summer. I paired it with a cardigan once belonging to my late Great Grandmother, the gold button detailing is my favorite.


You're listening to: Monkey - Heavenly Peach Banquet





Thanks to Kaela for the Awesome Girl Blogger Award. I'm supposed to list 12 random facts about myself now.
I tag anyone who wants to join in. You're all awesome bloggers in my eyes. ;)

- I used to suck my thumb, until an undisclosed age.
- I need to drink at least 1 Liter of water a day to avoid feeling irritable.
- The Sunshine makes me happy.
- When I'm down or stressed out any song by Lykke Li cheers me up straight away!
- I have an irrevocable need for caffeine Monday through Sunday. Even better when accompanied with Alexa Chung Mondays through Thursdays.
- A shoe bookshelf is all I want this Christmas!!
- I'm toying with the idea of asking for a new camera come my Birthday (hello, September!)
- I like to play Garage Band on rainy afternoons.
- The Mac store, Urban Outfitters and Borders are the stores I feel most comfortable in.
- I crave floral print leggings (Mink Pink!!!!)
- Topshop taunts me . . . I can't wait to one day step inside one!
- I have an urge to visit: Greece, Rome, Paris, New York, Hawaii, Australia and Sweeden - I've never been.



I'm wearing:

Urban Outfitters romper. Vintage cardigan. Target bag. Payless heels.

Ela said...

Oh my, I can't stop staring at this floral romper either! I just love it. I love that you paired it with your grandmother's cardi :)

Congratulations on your award! And happy almost birthday! Mine's in September as well, but I have yet to think of what I want/want to do. Last year I got a closet[incl. 2 shoe wall shelves] from the hubs as my bday present. Best gift ever! I'd love to go to all the places you've listed. I've yet to go either, except for NY, which I happily frequent. I'd add Japan, Hongkong and Thailand to my list too :)

Christina Dee said...

Oh my fucking goodness; I adore you. Excuse thee french but I die. Your always going to be a fav...love love love.

Btw, new hairstyles? Braid the front in a french braid, then braid the backside and join together to one braid. Saves me the trouble of styling and then the next day, its gorgus waves!!!

Victoria said...

The bright floral romper looks great on you! I wish I had long legs to wear rompers. Sadly, we never had a summer here in San Francisco. I'm wearing boots and a long sleeved cardigan it's so cold! The vintage cream colored cardigan is a great touch for early evenings when it starts to get a little chilly. Great post!

KateMossFan said...

Haha, it's so awesome. You seem like a magic person to me when you just see something on a celebrity, like it and then you can just buy it ;-)
But it IS really beautiful. And it goes especially well with the colour of your cardigan!
I love the HALO the sun makes for you in the fourth picture! :-D
Oh, I know that song! One of my cousins is always listening to it, and it's one of her favourite songs!
I used to suck my thumb too.. I stopped at the age of three, when my parents promised to give me a peluche polar bear if I stopped..

Petra said...

My goodness could you evoke summer any more!? So beautifully breezy and full of sunshine. What an adorable romper!

So with you on the caffeine as well... It is my life saver and manages to get me from a to be everyday without passing out or becoming completely incoherent. We have so many thank to pay it!!

Hey gorgeous, love love love this romper. If I lived anywhere to close to where you were, I would be borrowing this from you (or stealing, whatever works ;) for sure!

Haha.

And it makes your legs look mile long. Perfect.

p.s. screw the as*holes!!!! I love you and jealousy breeds some serious losers :(
Tall Poppy Syndrome....they bring you up and adore and then once you get the deserved admiration, they enviously make sure they bring you down....boo to them.

Suck b*lls, idiots. Haha, ignore and remember that the important people love ya and your work!

Have a great one ;)

Hey Erika :)
Really cute romper...I just got the newest catalog of urban and love itttttttt!!

I know what you mean about Borders...I LOVE it there. I go and grab coffee and sit and read magazines, lol! I always drag my guy along and he gets so bored, but there is something so comfortable and calming... and just that romantic cliche of sipping frothy caffeine beverages in a bookstore cafe. hehe
Gorgeous photos, you're hair is so long!

I highlyyyyyy recommend this romper but be sure to size up, they run kind of small. I ordered the small and it's pretty teeny. Or maybe it just fits like a glove? Either way, I still managed to work with it. And Fall IN LOVE with it!! :)
