current cravings

just a few pretty things i wouldn’t mind owning at the moment. or in future moments…:)

happy monday! xo

sick days

i’m sitting on the couch at home allll day for the second day in a row – didn’t go to work because i’ve been under the weather and decided to rest up. but i did go to the doctor today & she gave me meds so hopefully that will make everything all better asap! all i know is i am so happy this is not memorial day weekend.. good job immune system for crashing a week early. we have big plans involving our “shore house” for the summer so i would be super bummed if i were unable to join in the festivities!! phew

this little dude above has been great to me this week. thank you, honey bear :)

JB comes home on either tuesday or wednesday & i CANNOT WAIT to have him back for 3 weeks <3

we are moving in/setting up the shore house tomorrow so hopefully i will be feeling at least 60% better once the medicine kicks in today.

just painted my nails this happy color & it kind of makes me want to eat a nice, juicy watermelon.

i watched safe haven yesterday (twice) on demand – it was actually a pretty good movie! props to julianne hough, i didn’t know her acting skills were that great. it did make me want to be on the beach & ride my bike.. summer weather, make your appearance for good!

i also want to see gatsby but i’ve been waiting for JB to get back from his 3 weeks of tugboatin’ – looking forward to seeing what the fuss is about and being able to have my own opinion (been hearing mixed things. i also read the book in high school so should be interesting)

also, this blew my mind & in fact did make me feel old: http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/things-that-will-make-you-feel-really-old

& with that..happy friday, peeps :)

growing up..

“when i grow up…”

is it just me or we in limbo of all that pertains to the above phrase? some days i feel like i am a “grown up”, in the ‘real world’ doing ‘real things’ ….things that matter. other days, i feel like i am not even filling 1/4 of the shoes that make someone a true adult. in my opinion, this point in our lives is kinda tricky – yet so awesome – because at least for me, there are no clear cut limitations just yet or extreme responsibilities (of course, this varies from person to person depending on their situation and what course their lives are taking at the moment but from someone who graduated college one year ago — HOLY CRAP, that FLEW—- i feel as though i am still getting away scotch-free on a bunch of things) besides of course, a full time job. thank you, career gods for being so kind & aligning the stars on that one so soon, btw.

all i know is that i feel more & more blessed as the months (very quickly, not cool.) go by. & to be in the current position that i am in at this moment in time, i can’t be more thankful. i actually feel as though i am constantly learning & ‘growing up’ more so over the past 3-4 years than when i uttered, “when i grow up, i want to be an artist!” in 1996. i am discovering new things about myself & my friends & my family  – & the meaning behind this lovely life we live in – on a frequent basis.

& i think that’s pretty darn awesome. that we will be always discovering new things throughout the years – - about our day-to-day interactions, our friends/family, our jobs, our overall world & most importantly, our very own selves.

we just keep blooooomin’ :)

& that makes me happy.

stripey

this is a post mainly about nothing. (what did you expect?;)

& besides the fact that i look kinda creepy in this picture, i really like it. why? because if i had a life uniform, this would surely be it.

stripes. distressed boyfriend jeans. bun on my head. how much more comfy can it get?

i own a ton of stripes & my collection just keeps growing. sometimes i feel guilty buying a newly striped shirt but ya know what, i wear out every single one, so ha!

besides – stripes are timeless. i plan on wearing them for the rest of my days… :)

P.S. my shoeless feet – haha..
