New York City
On Monday, I'll be flying out to New York to hang out and shop in the city with my cousins, and I am so excited! I've already figured out exactly what I'm bringing with me.
Since I'll be in New York in July, I'm bringing an assortment of clothes for weather varying from thunder storms(I'll also bring a rain jacket) to crazy crazy heat. On a more practical note, I'm bringing shoes that are cute and good for walking, and a watch because watches are always useful. And of course, it's New York City, so you've got to try your best to be stylish.
I'll only be in NY for five days, including the days I fly there and back, I'm bringing as few clothes as possible. That way, I can go shopping and bring back tons of cute clothes.
Love,
Caro

My First Flat!
So, as a few of you may know, I've just finished my first year of University this past year. And I have to be honest, the thing I'm probably looking forward to most this coming year is having my own flat! No more living in my parents house (apart from the summer, of course) and no more halls or dorm rooms!
It's a cute little flat, in a great location near my uni, with a friend of mine who's also a physics major. One of the best things about a new place, though, is decorating. And while I don't get to do a crazy amount of redecorating, because it is a rental, I am looking forward to putting my own flair on it.
My plan for this new room of mine is posters, blankets, pillows, and comforters, and maybe some curtains for my window. In my dorm room this year, I wasn't allowed to hang any posters up anywhere, and the walls looked so blank and boring it was horrible. On top of that, I get to actually use my scented candles this year, which will be nice.
And last but certainly not least, the closet and dresser. I haven't actually had a dresser for quite a few years now, and I'm getting very excited at the prospect of having drawers to put clothes in again (is that terribly dorky of me?). And the closet, is a gorgeous (albeit tiny) walk-in closet. I have about a million hangers, and to actually see my dresses and coats and jackets all hung up and nice in the closet, and my t-shirts and jeans all folded up in those dresser drawers will be so satisfying.
I can't wait to move in!
Are any of you guys moving or redoing your rooms this year? If so, share with me! I love seeing these kinds of things.
Love,
Caro

Cute Animal Jumpers
As a resident of Scotland, jumpers are an absolute necessity for the majority of the year. There are so many different kinds of jumpers, from graphic to chunky knit. One of the trends that I love is jumpers with animals on them, and I thought I would show you how I style some of mine.
I fell in love with this jumper when I first saw it months ago at Topshop because it has a dodo bird on it! I thought it was weird and yet still really cute and versatile, because while it has a funky bird on it the colors are monochromatic so it can be worn many different ways. I would wear this jumper with a pair of distressed boyfriend jeans and some cutout boots. Luckily, the Dodo Knit Sweat by J.W. Anderson for Topshop is on sale if you live in the US!
I just recently saw this jumper when I was looking through the sale at Topshop, and how cheeky is that little fox with his top hat? I just ordered it, and I am so excited to wear it come fall and winter. I would pair it with a pair of black skinny jeans, and I love these ones with the ripped knees, along with a pair of black brogues. And like the first jumper, the Knitted Hatted Fox Jumper is on sale if you live in the UK!
Do you have any sweaters with adorable animals on them? Tell me in the comments!
Love,
Caro

My Birthday!
So I know I didn't post that much over the weekend, but that was because it was not only Fathers' Day on Sunday, but my birthday as well! I'm 19 now! And it feels pretty much exactly the same as 18. But I'll let you guys know if that changes. The presents were pretty awesome too.
My best friend Sophia, who is absolutely amazing, knew how much I was in love with these Topshop Stain Glass Leggings, and ordered them for me for my birthday! So that should be coming in about a week, and I'll post some pictures when I get them. And they'll be coming at the perfect time too, I'm getting my wisdom teeth out on the 19th.
My mom took me to the mall to pick out a few presents, because she has this thing about ordering presents online for me and most of the things I sent her on my wishlist were online pieces. So we went around to a few stores and she bought me the watch, the midi ring (it has a turtle on it! So cute!), and the black brogues, from Macy's, Nordstrom, and Aldo, respectively.
In addition to what we got at the mall, my parents got me two gift cards, one to Zara, and one to Nordstrom. I plan on getting the tiger print top and something else, but I haven't decided yet. And since I don't really shop at Nordstrom (especially since I've moved to Scotland) my mom agreed to keep the gift card for herself, and buy me the playsuit from Motel that is the same value as the gift card.
And then, as a birthday present to me, Topshop put out an amazing sale yesterday, so I bought myself a pair of Topshop Jaime Rip Knee Jeans, and the Washed V Tee by Boutique.
My birthday and Father's Day was super fun. And now my plans for the summer consist of working and recovering from my wisdom teeth.
I hope you guys all had a great weekend!
Love,
Caro
