Stuffed...

 

On Sunday afternoon my parents and I went on a little adventure in Bethesda. It is one of my favorite places around where I live and I love to go and explore there. While we were there we enjoyed shrimp and lobster rolls at Luke's Lobster Shack. The seafood was so fresh and came straight from Maine. It was delicious! Then some of us had frozen yogurt at Sweetgreen while others had cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcakes. Can you guess which one I chose? 

After we ate we walked around a bit and my dad and I headed to one of our favorite places: the bookstore. 

We spent quite a bit of time in the 3-level Barnes and Noble. I could spend hours there just looking at books and browsing. I added a few titles to my reading list :) 

Finally, before we went home we drove down Oliver Street. I have blogged about Oliver Street before and the lovely houses that are located there. I would love to go inside each one of those houses. I bet they are gorgeous. I'm a sucker for old hardwood floors and tiny details. 

What were you up to this weekend? I would love to hear all about it! 

Peace and Love,

What I Wore...

Sandals- Forever 21, Sunglasses- Forever 21, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tee- NBC store, 

Necklace- Isn't That Sew, Leggings- Forever 21. 

The whole idea of dressing up for college went out the window during my very first semester. It just seemed impossible to look "cute" everyday and frankly, I just wasn't motivated to put in that much effort all the time. However, I still think that you can put together cute and comfortable outfits that aren't a hassle. For my very first day of school I wore my favorite sandals and leggings and paired them with a comfortable tee and some sunglasses. I finished it off with one of my favorite necklaces just to dress it up a little. I plan on putting together more outfits like this during the school year and sharing them on the blog. Let me know that you think! 

Peace and Love,

First Day...

Yesterday marked the beginning of another year of college for me. I am on a new campus, experiencing new things, and I get to share some of it with my sister! And even though school isn't my favorite thing, I do love pretty school supplies! This year I got all of my gear at Target and found some really cute things. I especially love my floral portfolio and my colorful notebooks. Here's to another successful semester! 

Peace and Love,

Summer Favorites 2013...

It's that time of year again- time for summer favorites! 

1. My day trip to NYC! It was such a fun day in the city with friends. 

2. My favorite album of the summer would have to be Anthem by Hanson, with The Civil Wars coming in a close second. 

3. One of my favorite things about summer is all of the time that I get to spend reading. I went to the library so much this summer and crossed a handful of books off of my reading list.  

4. I worked out almost every night this summer. It was nice to just listen to my music while working on my fitness. 

5. I was able to go and see my good friend, Todd Wright, perform at "Acoustic on the Green" in August. This was a fabulous night! 

6. I started getting back to writing. It has made me feel so good and I am really proud of the pieces that I wrote this summer. 

7. Seeing Late Night with Jimmy Fallon was so surreal and a definite check off of my bucket list. 

8. The vscocam app has to be my favorite app of the summer. I used it to edit all of my photos! 

9. My trip to Nashville was such a blast! I had so much fun with my family and it was awesome to start familiarizing myself with the city that I hope to move to next year. 

10. Joey Graceffa. I watched so many youtube vlogs this summer but this boy and his videos have to be my favorite! 

11. Coconut Cupcakes. Whenever I let myself have something sweet this summer it was most likely a coconut cupcake. Divine! 

12. Starbucks- another one of my downfalls. My drink of choice this summer was an iced vanilla latte. 

13. I made it a priority to give myself some "me time" every day to try to relax and meditate. This is something that my therapist suggested I do and I think that it has really helped me. I hope to keep this going throughout my semester of school. 

14. I loved looking at Forever21's instagram and seeing all of their "look of the day" and "what's in my bag" posts. 

15. Crape myrtles. They are just gorgeous and will forever remind me of beach houses. 

16. Jack Reacher. This has to be my favorite movie that I watched this summer. It was SO good! 

17. Late night conversations in our hotel room with family are definitely high on my list of favorite summer memories. 

18. I started watching Sex & the City. 

19. I have connected with so many lovely bloggers and started following some beautiful blogs this summer. 

20. I spent a wonderful day at the beach with friends. 

21. Pinterest. I spent entirely too much time on pinterest this summer but I also stumbled upon so many things that have inspired me. 

22. Brian Roberts is back. I didn't watch the Orioles as much as I wanted to this summer but I am thrilled that my boy, B-rob, is back in the game.  

23. The smell of sunscreen. Bobbi Brown's Beach constantly reminds me of this summer. 

24. Flip flops from Old Navy in all of their beautiful colors. I wore mine all summer long! 

25. HGTV. I watched a lot of HGTV this summer. Design Star is one of my summer staples. 

And there you have it, my favorite things from this summer! 

What were some of your favorite things? I would love to know :)

Peace and Love,
