So for me summer came to an end awhile ago. I started back at VCU on August 19th and now Fall has officially started, but that doesn't mean I (and you) can't still savor summer in the form of music. And the summer song or in this case album that's been on repeat for me is Glitterbug by The Wombats!
I've been a fan of The Wombats since high school and when I finally saw that their Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01278862665422401147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198073382084186365.post-14191330353476255332015-08-07T13:22:00.002-04:002015-08-07T13:22:36.314-04:00Otakon Haul!
So the weekend of July 24th I went to Otakon with some of my friends. For those that don't know, Otakon is a three-day long Anime Convention that's held in Baltimore, MD every summer in July! This was my first year going and it was definitely an experience. I saw so many creative people cosplaying as all different characters in this huge convention Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01278862665422401147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198073382084186365.post-51450476616312617612015-07-22T16:30:00.001-04:002015-07-22T16:30:55.698-04:00Mini Trend I'm Loving: Tassels
I'm not even sure if this is really a "trend" but it's something I've been seeing more of lately and really been liking it. And that thing is Tassels!
Tassels just seem so cute and fun to me!

Of the spring/summer trends I had seen predicted a few months ago, there was one that I thought I would most definitely not participate in. That would be the trend of the ugly-chic sandal!

So recently I've noticed this trend of sunflower printed shorts and I'm really loving it!

I discovered this song a few days ago via Tumblr and it has been on repeat ever since. It's called Hideaway and it's by the artist Kiesza! It's great dancing music and the choreography in the video is so upbeat and fun, I wish I could learn how to do it. The style is a great mix of 80's and 90's fashion trends.
