Adventures in Striped Turtle Neck Dresses

Happy Wednesdays everyone!!
You know that feeling where you think it's close to the weekend and you start jumping for joy only to find it's just Wednesday...Wednesday...its like another Tuesday..I mean why Wednesday?!?!?!?! Well anyways, that's me right now. It's almost the end of another semester and I can't understand why school seems so exciting when going back, but becomes a drag towards the middle of it. You'd think I'd get used to this feeling haha (Mind the endless random rants of a 21 year old college student.)
Lets just focus on this lovely striped turtle neck dress from Sugarlips! Again - my love/obsession for back details - this dress just became perfection for me with its little "sneak peak" of a back! Its like that expression of business in the front and party in the back expression ahaha I can't believe I used that connection o.O but I'm sure you all understood me..yes? maybe? no?

Be back soon!

With love,
Heliely

Leopard Prints & Lace dresses

I've discovered that I have a love for all things "gypsy-like" although this dress isn't as gypsy-like as I want it to be the sleeves come a tinge little close to it. I just love flappy sleeves in dresses as well as the touch of lace here and there. 

I seem to always find myself glancing at my closet and shaking my head as I have done so many times since I have so much, yet still I am sadly not satisfied. The contents in my closet range from boxes of shoes and stacks of knit sweaters, tops, dress, jackets, blazers of all kinds - you'd think I'd stop - but the want for more goes on....I guess human nature will never be satisfied with what we have right in front of us. God is amazingly good, why? Because He honestly gave us more than enough.

On a lighter note, these photos were also taken by my little sister haha I had to use a stand since she believes my Nikon d5000 is too heavy for her petite hands. Oh! and as you can see I've been having a great dose of fun mixing and matching with these Leopard print heels from Zara! I was jumping for ecstatic, over-flowing joy when I finally received the shipment from Zara (and slightly guilty - less monies in my pocket)! I felt like a kid again arriving home with stacks and stacks of twix and kit-kat bars ready for me to pounce on them...I sound like a a crazy lunatic, maybe the word "pounce" isn't the right word but oh well. As of right now I'm in no right mind to pry my head open for decent vocabulary words, maybe I should go back to sleep...

Goodmorning...and goodnight?
Much love, Heliely

4th & 1

So I suppose it wasn't much of a great day today since driving was involved...I've come to the point where driving just sucks because there's too many reckless drivers (i'll admit I can be one at times too) out there and too many large and rather wide trucks on the freeway that I think its safe to say it is completely hazardous and nearly impossible if not a miracle to even come home every day in one piece. I mean think about it, isn't it a miracle already that we can wake up each morning able to see, hear, move, and etc. I guess we - including myself - can find that we take advantage of that gift every day. Blessed...seriously no matter what situation we find ourselves in, being alive is a blessing because we have the ability to make choices. Choices to do things better and right or not to. Its really up to us.

On another note! haha I apologize for the random banter...I got the chance to style my boyfriend's, sister's, friend's top from her shop called 4th & 1 (check out their site here). It's a really cool and rather sexy top, and I picked this one out becauuuuuse if you haven't noticed from my past posts I am deeply and madly in love with back details. They are so much more classier and sexier than showing off boobies if you know what I mean, but that's just my opinion. So check check check out their site!! 

If you like what you see and want to order, click "request" or "contact us" to order or ask questions!

 Again their site is: 4th-1.com

WINDY DAYS

Good Evening my fellow readers!!

(for the few following me I am so blessed and grateful to have you guys hehe)

I was so excited and happy I got the chance to grab my camera and take a few pictures of the awesome sweet shop my friend works at located in downtown Temecula (stop by if you live near the place!) It's a small shop but you're missing out if you haven't seen it. I guess you can say its an awesome combination of Willy Wonka meets Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (both great movies -- just saying), the whole store is filled with color and they not only have candy, but ice cream, brownies, cookies, milkshakes, annnnddd these brilliant mustache pops!

(note to self: refrain from using exclamation points excessively as you are right now)

Well before my huge excitement with the sweet shop, I had a fun date with my twin Kimberly Anne (her site here), her mother and her significant other - Nathan - at Souplantation (we strive to eat healthier, don't judge us). Afterwards we took a few snapshots and our day went from there. As of right now I'm sincerely regretting the fact that I have not taken advantage of kimmi's employment to grab some sweets for my own pleasure, but I guess I will have to accept those missed chances and live with the consequences...

I'll be making my exit right now...

Til we meet again,

Heliely

P.S. for those insane drivers who like to drive extremely close especially in cases where I need to make a right turn, frightening me in the process...I hate you...not really, but seriously?!?!?! WHY MUST YOU DO THAT??? You can obviously see that the person has turned on their signal to make a turn, therefore, you should clearly slow down in the process so as not to cause an accident!!! ok i'm done. GOODNIGHT EVERYONE!

Last Day of Sunshine

Finally posted this dress up and perfect timing too because the next day composed of layers and rainy weather. I'm still contemplating whether or not I'm happy about the random weather change after having expected it'd be hot again, sadly my hopes went crashing down after seeing some gray clouds outside...

Well anyways this lovely dress is from Sugarlips Apparel, I always get excited working with them and styling their pieces. If you haven't checked out their site yet here's the link! 

GO GO GOOOO! 

Their spring line is up so take a peek and see what you all like! 

 I'll be a little busy with school but I promise to keep you all updated! 

With much Love, 

Heliely
