✿ Summer Haul - Urban Outfitters, American Apparel, Brandy Melville, & More! ✿

hiya~
I went to the mall yesterday, and let's just say I did some really big damage to my bank account.

Here's what I bought!
✿ American Apparel ✿
These were a major splurge at $58, but I've tried on so many different pairs of denim shorts, and all of them look awful on me. These are actually pretty flattering. I don't look great in shorts most of the time because I have thick thighs because of volleyball. However, I don't know if it's the high waisted aspect or cuffed aspect of these jeans, but they're just really cute and flattering!

Also, congrats to myself on my first American Apparel clothing purchase. Applause!!!

✿ Forever 21 ✿
I am really attracted to turquoise at the moment, and this necklace is long and perfect for layering with floral dresses or simple tees because I find myself wearing those quite a lot.

I love basic tees, and this white one was just slouchy and big and reminded me of Kylie Jenner. I cannot find the exact one I purchased on the website, but I'm sure you can find plenty of tees like this anywhere. Mine was $3.80 and the fabric is pretty good, and even so, I think it'll last me awhile. 

I love putting these in my car, and they smell so good, like strawberries! They're super cute as well, and I always buy these whenever I see them because they last awhile and they're cheap too.

✿ Urban Outfitters ✿
I was super excited when I found this because I've been eyeing records for a long time. I found this and I basically died.
This album was honestly all I listened to on the way to school the entire first half of the school year, and I absolutely adore it still today. Also the album artwork is so gorgeous.

Since I don't own a record player yet ( i know so sad :( ), I decided it'd be nice to frame the albums since they're some of my favorites. However, I discovered that the AM one doesn't fit nicely into this frame because it's a little thick; they made the sleeve a sort of booklet, and it doesn't allow the back of the frame to close completely! Oh well, just another excuse to buy more records ammiright.


✿ Target ✿ 
I have been eyeing this for a long time, mainly due to the packaging, so I finally purchased it because I haven't bought a new mascara in a looong time.

I've heard good things about this mascara, so I also decided to pick this up in the blackest color they have.

I need a good liquid liner, and I've heard good things about this one, so I decided to try it out. It's a felt tip marker, and I used it last night as a sort of test, and I liked the results. I'm still not sure if it was because I'm better at liquid eyeliner now? (obviously not much because I'm the worst at it still) or because of the quality of the product. Stay tuned, my friends!

✿ Brandy Melville ✿

yay! a Brandy purchase from Zoe? What a surprise! This is the second Brandy item I've ever purchased, and the only one I currently own. I picked this up for a few reasons:
1) I've been meaning to channel my inner Taylor Swift with some striped shirts.
2) It was a somewhat reasonable price ($19) for a good quality shirt. (feels like a Wildfox tee)
3) I don't think the thots at my school will wear this because it's not a) SUPER CROPPED or b) SUPER REVEALING.
4) I love the color!

Normally I don't purchase stuff from Brandy, especially shorts and other bottoms, because their stuff is already cropped, and on me, a rather tall girl at 5'9", it turns into, essentially, a swimsuit! This was very appealing to me, so I yolo'd it and purchased it hehe.


That's it for my post today! Sorry I've been completely M.I.A. since I made that blog post about regular updates. lol that was kind of a lie! But it's summer now, and I'm back in California after traveling a bit, and I'm going to force myself to blog! To prove my point, I will probably be posting two more times today just because. I know, overkill, but I thoroughly enjoy blogging, and although it takes quite some time to do it sometimes, I do it for my own purposes too, like something easily accesible on my phone when I'm shopping so I know what I was eyeing online before. (like the future MAC post in maybe 30 minutes (: )

Anyways, have a fantastic day, and keep an eye out for my new blog posts, June Favorites (although I'm a little late), and MAC Wishlist!

love love love,
