Away We Go

Happy Friday! I'm off once again to one of my favorite places in the world...Vermont. I know I've written about my love for Vermont before but it really is my favorite vacation spot ever and I would love to have a house there someday. So I'll be away from my computer this weekend but back again on Sunday. And speaking of Sunday, I absolutely cannot WAIT for the Lost finale...I'm definitely making sure that I get back in time so I don't miss a minute of it! I hope you all have a fantastic weekend...anyone have any big plans?

California Here We Come...

So I absolutely HAD to use a line from The OC theme song to say that I'm off to Palm Springs for New Years! We're going to meet my aunt and uncle as well as some family friends out there and it's going to be a blast. We went last year and had a fantastic time but if any of you have any suggestions let me know!!

Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Happy Labor Day Weekend everyone, I hope you all are having a good one! I went to S's home for the weekend and it has been SO nice and relaxing! I just got her addicted to True Blood, so yesterday was spent watching part of the first season and then we went shopping which was great...I spent too much as usual but I got some great goodies and went to Sephora which I haven't been too in FOREVER! Last night we went out to a couple bars, and today we're just hanging around the house finishing the first season...she can't wait to watch the second on On Demand when we get home, and I can't wait to have someone to watch the finale with in a week!

My camera has FINALLY decided to start working again (weird I don't really understand it) so I thought that in honor of the end of summer I would share some pictures of my family trip to Michigan. Enjoy and have a great rest of the weekend!

Home Sweet Home

Hello again I'm officially back from vacation and it was absolutely AMAZING!! We all had the best time and I miss all my family already...we're already booking the same cottage for next year and are planning on going for two weeks!! But as nice as vacation was sleeping in my own bed last night was so nice...theres nothing like it after coming back from vaca.

I don't know what it is but whenever I take a night flight, even if I don't sleep on the plane, I'm never tired when I get home. When we got home at 12am last night, I was def NOT tired so stayed up late watching True Blood from last week (and in my opinion I thought it was only OK) and didn't get to bed until 2am...ugh! I am SO tired today so I apologize and say that my long vacation recap will have to wait until tomorrow....I know you all will be holding your breath hahaha. 

Today it's kinda overcast here which is FINE by me because I'm planning on spending a very relaxing day unpacking, catching up on my dvr, and catching up on reader (538 posts...WOAH!) Hope everyone had a great and relaxing weekend and HAPPY AUGUST (well a day late)! Wow where did this summer go?

Off to Ottawa Beach MI for vacation with the family for a week...will be checking google reader but prob not posting so see you all in a week! Have a FAB weekend and a good upcoming week!

That's right there's actually happy little suns on the 10day forecast! (I'm ignoring the few dark clouds) I really don't remember the last time I saw these so this definitely brightened (ha!) up my Monday morning!  I hope everyone had a fantastic 4th weekend...mine was fantastic! Vermont is seriously my favorite place on Earth so I was so happy that we were able to spend such a fantastic weekend up there! We left early Friday morning at went to Burlington VT, that's right on Lake Champlain. It was raining but still SOO pretty and I had a chance to check out all the cute stores as well! Alot of towns in Vermont do fireworks on the 3rd as well as the 4th so we were going to watch the fireworks in Burlington but it was kinda gross and cloudy so we didn't  Saturday was supposed to be pretty but ended up raining half the day which was kinda a bummer but it was so nice just to sit, read, and relax. Luckily enough the clouds cleared up that night so we watched the great fireworks show! Sunday was gorgeous and sunny so my mom and I sat out and soaked up the sun....even though I had a pretty good base I got SO sunburned (which is normally ok because I usually tan afterwards) but I forgot to take off my necklace so I have a circle that's imprinted that's probably not going away anytime soon...o well it was definitely worth it! Here are a couple pics from the weekend...sorry they look kinda weird...I forgot my camera charger so these are all from my phone.

I hope everyone else had a fantastic 4th as well...can anyone else believe that it's July 6th already? This summer is FLYING by! Hope everyone enjoys this sunny (I hope it's sunny in your area too) Monday! Oh and sorry that the format of this post is kinda messed up....Blogger was NOT my friend this morning!

The Weekend is HERE!!

Sorry in advance: Since I haven't blogged all week this is going to be a LONGG picture heavy post...hope you enjoy haha

WAHOOO! 4th of July weekend is HERE!! So I don't know about anyone else but this week seriously could NOT have gone slower. Sorry about not posting since Monday but between babysitting for 3 hours in the morning, going to my internship for 5 hours in the afternoon, and shredding at night I am sooo tired! This morning started off a little rough with waking up 15 minutes before I had to be at the girl's house and looking sick nasty all day but....babysitting is done, my internship is done (for the week at least haha) and I've shredded for the day so THE WEEKEND IS HERE! As I'm sure you can tell by the picture above I am so excited for the 4th and hopefully some nice weather! I'm off to Vermont for the weekend so this will be my last post until then but I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! I want to share pics from my FANTASTIC weekend to DC...btw def planning on moving there so if anyone know of any jobs opening next year for a Com major let me know haha ;)...but before I do so I want to say a couple Thank Yous! 

So a couple days ago Denise over at Seersucker Scrapper (who has the cutest blog so go check it out now!) awarded me the Lovely Blog Award which I feel so honored to get! 

The Rules:

1. Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award and his/her link.

2. Pass the award to 5 other bloggers that you have newly discovered

I absolutely love LOVE discovering new blogs so here they are! (obvi in no particular order)

DC Prep

Float On

The Pink Washingtoniette

Be As You Are (PJ literally JUST started her blog and its great so def go check it out!)

The New Black

Alright! So even though this happened SUCH a long time ago I would LOVE to thank my koozie swap partner Ashley (she doesn't have a blog) for the adorable koozie she sent me! I can't wait to use it (if it ever gets halfway decent out haha) 

Next I want to say thank you Thank You THANK YOU to my absolutely AMAZING summer swap partner Bonnie over at Meanderings of Life for her fantastic package she sent me! I am one lucky lady and am getting spoiled! 

Everything still tucked away in the box

All my great goodies! I got a SUPER cute beach bag that I can't wait to use, the book 10 Little Blue Envelopes that looks great and I'm going to read after I finish book 7 of Sookie Stackhouse, yummy body lotion, a great water bottle, and a gorgeous wooden box!

And look at all of these goodies that were in the box! I can't wait to use all of them and are SERIOUSLY spoiled! 

Ok so last but definitely not least, as I've said before my trip to DC was the best time ever and I've totally fallen in love! Thank you to all for your great suggestions...we didn't get The Matchbox but my friends agree with you and said it was fantastic so I def want to head there on my next visit (or if I end up moving there haha) 

Friday S and I woke up and headed over to the Hill for our friend C (who's interning for his state rep) to give us a great tour of the Capital! It was so amazing and even though I went there in 8th grade I loved hearing about all of the history, and seeing a few things that I didn't before (sitting in on the House...SO COOL) which made it a great tour! After the tour S and I hit the white house and a bunch of monuments and then went to meet friends for happy hour and dinner at Tony's and Nick's (I think that's it) that was right on the harbor in Georgetown. It was SO YUMMY and pretty and we all had the best time! That night we all headed over to Adams Morgan to Brass Monkey which was soooooo much fun! It was a great bar, and was really cool because it had a ton of different levels (including a rooftop bar) that we just kept discovering!

Saturday, after a VERY late night we all woke up late, had brunch, and went to the Holocaust Museum. Really no words can describe it except...WOW. I visited there in 8th grade but really didn't get as much out of it as I did this time and it was incredibly sad and very moving. A group of us then headed over to the Jefferson memorial after and then to Clyde's in Georgetown which was sooo delish! After dinner we went to Georgetown Cupcake which were the best cupcakes I've ever had (and now I'm wondering if they ship haha) went back to their apartment and then went to Brass Monkey again for another great (and late!) night. 

Sunday we were going to go to Georgetown to shop but it was raining so we all went to the mall at Pentagon City where we did some shopping, and then I left for my funnn (haha) plane ride home! Overall a GREAT weekend! Ok so here are pictures but for your sake (sorry this is LONG!) no captions this time as I'm sure you know the people and places.

Have a great 4th of July weekend!

I haven't been there since a class trip in 8th grade (which is a whole other story for a later date haha) and I can't wait! S and I are going to visit friends/sorority sisters who are working there for the summer so we have a pretty packed weekend but for all you DC ladies out there any suggestions for things I can't miss? Update and pictures on Monday Have a great weekend!

Naples!

I hope everyone is having a great week! Nothing too exciting happening right now...after my shopping spree at Frugal Fannies I was bad and went to TJ Maxx and Target yesterday and found some really cute stuff! At TJ I found an awesome Matty M navy maxi dress which I think I'm going to take with me to DC this weekend and at Target I found the Tracy Feith white zip up dress which will be SO cute for this weekend as well! After DC I'm DEF going to have to slow down on shopping for a while! 

Sooooo without further ado here are some pictures from Naples! 

Me, S, and S's Mom at this AWESOME bar called the English Pub! We went on the first night and seriously had the BEST time! 

Also at the English Pub...we had LOTS of fun taking pictures that night!! 

At Tommy Bahamas for dinner on the 2nd night...it was so delicious! 

The beautiful sunset...my favorite part of Naples! 

The English Pub

My other favorite part of Naples...the pier and the beach!

HAPPY HUMP DAY!! This week is almost over...YAY and can anyone else believe that this is the LAST WEEK in June? I can't believe next weekend is the 4th of July...crazy this summer is flying by! If you're having rain like we are...stay dry!
