It is such a beautiful day today! It's not too hot and not too cold, and I wish the weather could be this perfect everyday. Thanks to my newly-short hair I can really appreciate the warmth of the sun, because my neck isn't drenched in sweat (yes, gross, but so true). I think the best part of my hair is the fact that I hardly have knots in it anymore! But I'm not going to lie, I miss my messy bun. Luckily, I've figured out a way to do a beehive still (it just involves a little teasing and more pins). Oh my gosh! I can't believe it's taken me this long to mention, but my amazing dad bought me a COACH purse. When he first gave it to me I freaked out and told him, "WHY WOULD YOU SPEND SO MuCH MONEY ON ME OH MY GOSH NOOO." To my dismay he purchased it on clearance at an outlet store which led to 80% off the original price. Hearing that put me at ease, and made me fall in love with this designer purse. I may see old ladies toting around the same one and it may be out of season, but I don't give a damn! It's so freaking perfect in every single way~
So I've been wanting fake nails for a while now, and I just happened to find the perfect ones at Urban Outfitters. At first I was greatly considering getting acrylic nails done, but I could not justify $40 for them. So when I came across these $8 press-ons, I knew it was meant to be. I'm still getting used to typing, tying my shoes (basically everything) because I've never had long nails. 

As all of you know, it's almost summer, and usually I feel like, "woohoo summer is almost here," but this year I feel like, "OH MY GOSH SUMMER YASSS YAAAASSSSSS!" There's a possibility that there is something wrong with me, but I'm pretty sure I'm just excited for the short shorts, excruciating heat, swimming, etc. I think it's partly due to the fact that this is my last summer until college (which I'm also very excited about). My biggest inspiration right now is the 1960's (WOW SO SURPRISING), and Mondo Guerra's 2013 Summer collection. 'Haute' dogs, bright colors, kitschy prints, can I get an OH MY GOD!? I honestly have no way of describing my love for this collection, but the pictures really speak for itself.
Do you guys realize this is in two weekends?! I am so excited and scared in every single way possible. I got a new vintage clothing rack for this event and I'm going to make signs and banners this week to decorate my booth/wall space with! (If any of you lovely kitties have a suggestion shoot me a e-mail!) Don't forget to like The Mad Mod Shop's facebook page to keep updated with Pop Shop events and news. And if any of you cool cats are able to make it to the big event the first weekend in May, tell me you follow me and I'll make all your dreams come true (AKA give you a nice discount and tell you you're pretty)~

  1. Tessa, you are literally the coolest person I have ever seen. That bag, those nails, every single thing you wear is freaking fabulous and amazing. It's so amazing that your dad got that for you! My dad has no idea about anything with clothes, he always wears a yellow t-shirt, shorts and running shoes. Hah, every day. I am also, again, jealous of the weather there, it seems so nice! I ALSO CANNOT WAIT FOR SUMMER. I AM SO READY. MY BODY IS READY.

    1. Oh my goodness, I teared up a little when I read this. You are so freaking sweet. Thank you so much! And my dad didn't know anything about fashion for the longest time, but I introduced him to certain designers (Coach, Prada, and Kate Spade) when we were at a high end outlet mall not too long ago. Ever since then he can't get enough of it, haha! And yes, SUMMER COME QUICK!

    2. Pssssh, don't even! You're very welcome! I don't think my dad could ever care about fashion, and barely understand the names of designers, as he is very, very foreign, haha. Maybe I will try to seduce him into the way of clothes, then he can buy me things Mwahahahaha.

  4. You and your nails look just amazing. Your new hair looks so fabulous too, I've recently cut mine off as well and I know how much better it feels, especially during scorching hot summers! I hope that you enjoy yours!

  6. Man that purse is kickin! and those nails are out of this world! I've always wanted to paint my nails, but whenever I try to do something cool it either just smudges or chips off in the first few days ahhaaa ;) I'm super pumped for this summer too, oh man! I don't know why I feel so much better about this one (maybe it's because I have friends) but yeah! It's gonna be fun :)

    1. I know right! I have the same issue with my nails and that's why I chose the press-ons.
