Summertime Sadness

It was a muggy, abnormally hot, dreary day today that left me reminiscing for some good ol' times this summer.  One of them was a trip to Coney Island which I had never visited before this summer.  My friends and I went super early and good thing too because by the time we left at around 2 or 3 pm there droves of people still coming to stroll around the boardwalk and beach.  Breakfast consisted of Nathan's.  Fun fact, the original Nathan's is in Coney Island.  We walked around and road some rides (by we I mean everyone else because I'm not much of a roller coaster person).  I did get to ride the Wonder Wheel, a Ferris wheel with 16 swinging cars and 8 stationery cars.  Initially riding in the swinging car, we kind of forgot that the car would start sliding once it got up to a certain height so we were all like WHOA when the car slid with us inside.  It almost felt like the car was going to fall right off the rails (enough thrill for me!).

I went for a casual outfit dressed up with a little leather.  One of my best summer purchases was these leather shorts from Mackage, exclusively for SSENSE.  These have an elastic band and two pockets, almost like a pair of gym shorts.  Super comfortable and awesome, I am ecstatic that I finally found a pair for a good price too!

Tictail x Caroline Hjerpe Giveaway

Hey everyone! I have exciting news.. I get to host my very first giveaway!  Now if you don't already know, I use this great website to sell my pre-loved items online called Tictail.com.  You can check out my shop by clicking the link on the right labeled "My Store."  Tictail is a great and easy way to start your own personal shop, whether it be like me, selling pre-loved items, or others like Caroline Hjerpe who sells her handmade sterling silver jewelry.  I personally love her dainty rings that go perfectly with any outfit!  I got to choose one of my favorites to giveaway and I chose the Dino's Diamond.  I just thought it was a super cool and unique piece, who needs real diamonds when you've got Dino's Diamond?!

I've posted some photos of the ring so you guys can see what you'll be receiving.  I have small fingers and this ring is still a little big on my thumb though I think it'd make a great thumb ring!  I love the simple packaging and the tiny jar that it comes in (reminds me of the little jars of jam you get at a nice hotel that I like to steal..).

To sign up for the giveaway, just follow me on Bloglovin' or Instagram, and leave your name and email address in the comment section below.  This giveaway is open to US residents only and will end Sunday, October 12th.  The winner will be announced Monday ,October 13th.
