4th of July

Me on the 4th. I always have a mediocre 4th of July. For some reason, I just haven't had a fun 4th! (Except when I lived in Georgia up until age 7, the 4th of July celebrations there put everywhere else to shame...some of my best memories are Georgia 4th of Julys.)

Mirror

This is the most amazing mirror I have ever seen.

Rupert in Stripes

I usually try to refrain from blogging celeb crushes... in case we get married one day and he finds my blog.... but this was too good to pass up.

J Crew Swag

If I had a bunch of money to spend on clothing right now..... the majority of it would go to J Crew.

Ashley Olsen

I love Ashley Olsen's style. AND she makes me glad to be a blonde.

Blue Jeans

Blue jean perfection. The PERFECT blue.

Lemonade

Made my first pitcher of lemonade of the season today! Must be Summer time!

Summer Reads

I'm borrowing Devil in the White City from a friend, I've already started An Object of Beauty, and I want to read This is Where I Leave You (Dianna Agron said it was hilarious--s0 I want to read it!). I have a summer class though that requires a ton of reading, so it will take me a while to get through these!

Lilly Bangles

Loving these 'ric-rac' ribbon inspired bracelets. I can't decide if I like the pink/white/green combo or the red/gold/navy!

My Two Favorite Fashion Bloggers

I just found her blog and I am so obsessed with the colorful outfits that are perfectly accessorized! Such inspirational and fun outfits.

sequinmagazine.blogspot.com

I have been admiring Merily's blog, Sequin Magazine, for a few years. I love the shots of the beautiful outfits she wears throughout Estonia, and seeing pictures of her travels.

Diary entry from Vienna, Austria, June 27th, 2008

In the summer of 2008, I took a huge art history class trip to Europe. It was the most amazing time of my life and I am so absolutely nostalgic for it all the time.

Now presenting me, age 17, exactly three years ago, sounding like the biggest glutton ever:

"Day 12, June 27th, Vienna, Austria. Today I ate SO much food. I think I went over my budget for the day at lunch. Oops. Today we went to a military museum, which was pretty cool. They had some cool planes, and the actual car that Francis Ferdinand (the archduke of Russia or something) got shot in. Then we went to a few more museums, but they weren't as cool, except we did see a Heironymus Bosch painting which is pretty famous. Our hotel is an hour and a half outside of Vienna, so we have a bit of a drive. The hotel is pretty cute and it has an indoor pool! For dinner, we walked to Melk along the highway to look for a place to have dinner. It took 50 minutes to walk each way, and it was dark when we walked back. Dinner was really good, but dessert was even better. I had two desserts-- a tiramisu, and a strawberry icing covered cake for the walk back. When we got back to the hotel we talked for a little while, then went to sleep pretty early. Megan is still all over Justin. Ew."

It's not the most beautifully written thing ever, because we were constantly doing things, and I was usually exhausted (and excuse the ~teen drama~ at the end) but I'm so glad I kept with this journal the whole trip!

Dolly and I (with Carson creeping behind!) with our strawberry cakes!

Buns and Highlights

My go-to hairstyle of the past 6 months or so! A few months ago, before I cut about 6 inches off, my hair was so long, that I wouldn't know what to do with it or I'd be too lazy to style it, so I'd just throw it up in a bun. Even now that it's shorter (and I hate it haha-- I've been taking lots of biotin supplements to expedite growth), I still put it in a bun. My hair is super stick straight, so leaving it in a bun overnight, or putting it up when it's wet leaves a nice wave in it once I take it down. I've also been wanting to add some white blonde (my hair is already pretty light) highlights!

Flourescent Cambridge Satchel Obsession

Definitely obsessing over the fluorescent satchels from the Cambridge Satchel Company!
