Colours of Fall

It was a perfect day for a bike ride indeed. On saturday, I tested out my new bike rack for the car. While riding to the park , I frequently and anxiously kept checking the back window to make sure our bikes have't fallen off the car. Luckily, our bikes made it safely to the park. Mike and I rode our bikes, ate cheese curds, and looked at the expensive hidden houses behind the trees. The weather was perfect and just had a perfect amount of breeze to stop me from being overheated and gross feeling like in the summer. The trees looked beautiful in the park. Earlier in the day we were supposed to go apple picking and I had the whole day planned out. We would get up early, pick apples, and then go buy some ingredients at the store and make an apple pie. Unfortunately, my amazing plan got squashed as we drove all the way out to the farm and they said there are no apples to pick ! It really sucked but I am glad we got to go for a bike ride since it might be one of our lasts of the season. We finished our day off by eating popcorn and watching desperate housewives as well as planning a day to go to a haunted corn maze! I am super excited for that. It was a really great much deserved relaxing weekend, but no its back to the grind.I hope everyone was able to enjoy the great weather and had a great weekend!

Kitty Cat Dress

Purse: Thrifted, Dress: Dress 911, Shoes: Ardene, Necklace: a gift from my sister
The other day I went into the Dress 911 store and there were so many dresses I wanted. I won a gift card from there and I wasn't sure what dress I wanted to use it on. When I saw this dress I knew it would be the one I wanted and when I tried it on it I felt even more confident about my decision. The cat print is just so cute and unique and the back of this dress is nice too. This will be the last purchase for quite awhile since I am trying to not spend anymore money on clothes and save for both school and camping at the end of June with my friends. I have a lot of shirts that I thrifted that don't fit right so  would like to alter them and cut the sleeves off of them to make them more suitable for me to wear. I also want to make myself a peter pan collar and found a  DIYproject for it that looks simple ( the DIY is quite old but I really liked the scalloped look of this one). I don't really know how to use a sewing machine but I will go up and visit my nana who will be able to help me and teach me of course. I think it will be a challenge to not buy anymore clothes besides the odd thrifted purchase but I think it will be for the best and will help me make more use out of what I already have. Do you have  a summer goal?
