SOMEWHERE NEW AND AN OLD FAVORITE

Hi everyone! Long time, no talk. I know. To be quite honest with you, most of my summer has been utterly boring. As in, I've spent it working my tush off at two jobs. I'm in the process of saving up for my move to Florida (oh yeah, that's a thing that's happening btw!) hence lots and lots of slaving away as an underpaid waitress. But you know that they say....all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Or in this case, me, Shannon. I did, on the few occasions I wasn't stuck at work, do some traveling this summer! First, I visited my Disney roommate/best friend Brittany in her hometown of Lafayette, Lousiana. Also known as the hottest place on the planet. Or maybe that's just the entirety of the South in the summer? Yeah I'm gonna go with that.


We started my trip off right: with a trip to the world famous Cafe Du Monde of course! We didn't go to the original one first (we saved that for my birthday) but it didn't matter because the beignets and coffee are to die for no matter which one you go to. Swoon.


Brittany and I spent the first few days of my trip exploring Lafayette and the surrounding area.

We ended my trip in New Orleans where I turned 21 on Bourbon Street, posed with a cardboard cutout of Channing Tatum at his bar because the real one was not present (i also had my first legal drink there), and experienced some good ol' voodoo.

And I went back to Orlando about a week ago with my friend Jaden because I just missed Disney too darn much. How predictable.



until next time,

AND I SAW THESE SHOES, NOW I'M A BELIEVER (IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT)

Hi everyone! I'm back today with a... *drumroll please* fashion post! I've really missed doing these and besides I had to share with you all the new loves of my life that I purchased from Target today. (Oh, and props to you if you got the reference in the title of this post...I do love my puns and I'm pretty darn proud of that one)


These beauties are the Adley Platform Wedge Sandals, and I guess you could say I had a Carrie Bradshaw moment when I saw them in the store. Personally, I've never been much of a shoe lover. Sure, I love a good pair of Jeffrey Campbells just as much as the next person but I just don't consider myself a junkie when it comes to footwear. However, when I saw these at Target, I knew I had to have them. Two things before we go any further into this post though:

1. Can we just talk about how much Target has stepped up their game as of late? I'm so impressed by the quality and affordability of their clothes/shoes/accessories/ect.

2. The return of 90's fashion makes me giddy...and these shoes are just another example of that revival!

I've been on the hunt for a pair like this for a long time and I'm so stoked that I found a pair that didn't cost me a pretty penny. These shoes are so simple yet they are exactly what I need to add some edge to my everyday wear. And not to mention, they are wicked comfortable too! I can't wait to break these bad boys in when I go to New Orleans in a few weeks for my 21st birthday!

Leave a comment down below and let me know if you want to see an "outfit(s) of the day" post from my trip! I really want to do one and I'll be visiting some beautiful places which will make for great pictures!

until next time,
