You Wanted A Hit, But Maybe We Don't Do Hits.

Shirt: Vintage
Tee: American Apparel
Shorts: H&M
Shoes: Vintage

I finally got my new bike! Here are the first phots I took with it. Admittedly the outfit isn't very exciting but it was perfect for a lovely bike ride out to a local village then into town for lunch and a thrifting mission. I haven't ridden a bike in a couple years because my last one was stolen but this one signals the start of a very active and adventure filled summer. I'm already planning a picnic for Monday.


Now that I have a mode of transport other than my own two legs I'm looking forward to hunting out some really cool photo locations. I kept with shorts for this ride because I wasn't sure how well a dress would fare but I've decided to either slip on shorts or cut off leggings underneath and off I'll go. I'm hoping this will help me get more in shape, I've been eating healthy and seeing a bit of improvement but combined it should work a lot faster.


On my little thrifting hunt, I finally found a straw hat that fits me properly! It has a lovely blue bow on it too. I also found a few other bits including a ring which is pretty. I really want to expand my jewellery collection because it's definitely lacking at the moment. I've never been that into it but now I'm going to show a bit more interest because I love what jewellery adds to an outfit. What's your favourite piece of jewellery?

My favourite piece of jewellery would have to be a ring my boyfriend designed and hand made for me for my 18th Birthday, it is gorgeous! :]

Yay for new bikes! My mom and sister just got two new ones at the beach and it makes me want one now, :D.

As for my favorite piece of jewelry that would have to be the widow's mite necklace I got in Israel. However the chain is a bit broken at the moment (I've worn it every day for over 2 years) .
