Breakfast staple

My go to breakfast has always been a bagel with cream cheese on the go. Ive been trying to limit my carbs and i am a sucker for eggs. This has quickly become my staple breakfast when i have time in the morning.

>>| + 

+ spinach

+ two eggs

+ red pepper hummus

+ one slice of bread

+ hot sauce, garlic powder, pepper

I feel better eating this than the classic egg & cheese bagel breakfast sandwich. I eat so much cheese that im glad i can substitute with hummus in the morning.

restyle DiY: daisy dress

+++

I had bought this daisy dress at the thrift store for 4$ and knew I wanted to try to restyle it somehow. Dont get me wrong, it was cute enough on it own but i wanted to switch up the hem a little bit.
+
Originally i was just going to do the classic high-low option. Then i started remembering how recently I has seen long slits in maxis instead of high-low.
+
From there I kindof did the opposite: instead of creating two side slits in a longer dress, i cut it to a mini dress with long side panels.
I'm all for the mini dress, but I wanted to give it a little more movement and flow to it.

 +
For this restyle all I used was
1. the dress
2. scissors
3. white fabric pencil

>><<
I simply folded the dress symmetrically in half,
drew a guiding line with the fabric pencil,
& cut a half rounded square shape


I wore this in my weekly style capture 12.0 post --> pairing it with lace biker shorts, a bright cardigan, a floral crown & some layered necklaces.

Summer reads & films -->

+++

Now that I am graduated (woohoo) I feel like maybe, just maybe, i'll be able to finally read some of the books sitting in my shelf, and relax to watch some films I've had an interest in. Dreaming of warm days and nights on this gloomy one, I began to compile a list of summer reads and summer films. This was only from a quick glance at my bookshelf & a note I began to write in my phone while procrastinating on homework and watching the "suggested" trailers on imdb (oops) I know there are loads & loads more that I am forgetting or dont yet know about, but I am excited to begin!

if anyone has any good movie or book (or music!) suggestions please let me know!! I'm always up for new inspirations.

In other news, my baby sister turned sixteen yesterday. I remember my brother and I at ages 4 and 6 wearing diy'ed "big sister" and "big brother" shirts  and later pushing her around in a laundry basket like she was our personal doll. Yesterday was a definite reminder of how quickly time passes.
