Feeling The Heat + New Sneakers!

   The last few days have been dragging... not because there has been nothing to do, but because of this crippling heat. Apparently, the northeast is experiencing a mini heat wave right now.. I have been barely surviving in this heat. I'm keeping most of my runs easy, taking lots of breaks between tennis rounds as well as drinking bottles of water to assuage my thirst and keep me alive haha. I think the heat just hit us so suddenly that my body couldn't adjust quick enough. If I am in an air conditioned room, I am fine, but being outside is just torturous!
   In other news, did you guys hear that in Alaska, they are experiencing 90+ degree weather. I might be wrong here, but I thought Alaska was known for being cold...? Do any of you guys know if this is normal?

Here is an outfit that I would wear when I am in an air conditioned room, not outside in the heat haha. I got this vest last month during my forever 21 haul and I have yet to wear it. I find myself to wear my new clothes  only once and then I toss it to the back. I am trying to amend this bad habit by making more use out of my clothes. I tend not to wear denim in the summer, but I find this outfit to be really nice.

  I love the accent of the studs on this jacket. They add a sense of edgeness to my outfit. Underneath this jacket, I wore a simple white top and a lacy cami. I think the look of studs and lace looks very nice together. It's like the best of both worlds. For my bottoms, I wore a pair of dark blue shorts and a pair of sandals for my feet. 

I have no idea why this photo turned out so bright...

 This intense heat wave is making me want to go to the mall or movies to escape the hotness. However I just hate it when I walk out of an air conditioned room back into the heat. It's such a suffocating feel. haha. This is why I do my runs in the morning... so I can kick back and relax for the rest of the day! Speaking of running, I was able to pick up some new running shoes last week!! I had a bit of trouble finding one that fit my feet since I am now a size 5.5 in shoes (I guess my feet were really bloated before), but I eventually settled on a pair of these nike frees! I am in love with the color!
