I just want to travel the world, eat cupcakes and wear pretty dresses...

I just want to travel the world, eat cupcakes and wear pretty dresses.
Is that to much to ask???

It sounds like such a simple task.

I just keep telling myself that I am young (younger than I will ever be)
Now is the time!!

What an amazing thrill it would be to just travel...all the time.
Be a citizen of the world....
Meet new people...
Hear new music...
Learn sooooo many new things....

Someday perhaps.
Until someday I will dream...

I saw this on Pinterest today.
Exactly what I needed to see!

Madison.Mindy.Ingrid.

A few weeks ago my sister and I went to Madison!!
 It was indeed a great sissy day.
We spent the whole day shopping...of course!
Found some great finds..of course!!
Oh yes and stumbled upon a cupcakery.
Sometimes getting lost pays off.
And ended the day trip with the Ingrid Michaelson concert :)
Successful day.
And many many sissy memories :))

Perks and Pits.

Sometimes I wish I didn't have to grow up.
There are many perks...along with many pits.
Right now I'm dealing with a perk/pit.

Right now I am a nanny to the cutest baby in the world. And a good baby she is always happy! So I consider myself so lucky. I get to play with her all day..no complaints. And with summer right around the corner we can go to the park all the time! I can't wait! But it's going to be going to 4 to 5 days in about a week.



That was my plan for the summer (and work JcPenney on Saturdays). But then I had a fitting for a fashion show I'm going to be in on Wed. It's with White House Black Market. I'll admit I've never been in their store before..they have BEAUTIFUL things!! But a wee bit out of my price range. But I was asked to model for them so I got to go in for a fitting. When I was there they told me they'd love to hire me! Exciting indeed! That is great news I would looooove to work there.

But when?? It is something I need to think about for sure. I don't want to pass up an oppurtunity to work with them. But it would conflict with my scedule. I guess there is always a way to make something work. Maybe just a few days a week.

I need all the money I can get though. Especially if I move in with Naomi this summer. But I don't want to just be working, working, working all summer. That's no summer at all!
A day to think...and watch Gilmore Girls (addicted)

I love being the birthday girl...

Here is a muuuuuch delayed Birthday post.
My Birthday was at the begining of April (the 9th). I turned the big 22. That's right where does the time go?? Haha.
Now I know I am not an old lady or anything. I like to think of myself like wine...better with time :)
Here are some of my favorite shots from my birthday.

My sissy surprised me with Starbucks...that makes for a GREAT sister in my book!!


I spent the morning with Ly. We were twins :p


My mom made this...amazing...oh yes.

Girls night out!!! Always a good time!




Look at these beauts!!! Made me...tall..you heard me right.

Appletinis...more like apple...no-nis. Didn't love them...

There is just a quick recap. I am happy to welcome May though. And I just got VERY exciting news. My best friend who is living in Colombia just called and said she would be coming home to stay in a month or 2...you know what that means...roomies!!! Best news in a long time :))

Ombreee

I am just utterly in love with the ombre trend.
From hair to nails...everything!!
Maybe even a little obsessed :p

Everytime I see someone with ombre hair I wish I could just trade hair with them for a few days.
It's a tough thing to pull off being a blonde.
Buuuut I am seriously considering trying it..
















I played around a little on instyle.com they let you try tons of different styles and colors.



Maybe if the right time strikes I'll give it a whirl. Until then it's fun to play around :p
 
My favorite ombre I have seen is probably this sudden one that Lauren Conrad is rocking on her new book!!

Inspire.

Today I had a surprise day off. Instead of staying in my pajamas and watching reality TV all day I decided to be productive.
Yes I did lounge for a bit this morning and watch Boy Meets World and CMT music videos for a while. But then the clouds outside started to go away and the sunshine started to shine :)
I got off my butt, grabbed my ipod and took a long walk. I just love a long walk by myself. I'm forced to take in the beauty of nature and just think, think, think. The thinking can either be a really good thing...or a really bad thing haha. Depends on the day I guess.
Today was good.
I was listening to some great music and there were so many smiling faces in the park. How could I not smile??
I kept skipping almost every song on my ipod but putting The Beatles on repeat.
Today is a Beatles type of day!! They have always been my favorite...but some days you just appreciate them more. Same with any artist really. Some days it just really clicks.


So now I am home blasting the Beatles with the windows down and a lilac candle lit.
Good day already!!!
Part of being productive I'm making lists (I am list obsessed, I am always making lists.) 
Here are the lists of today:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-TO LIVE
*Carpe Diem


-INSPIRE
*Write letters to people I do and don't see very often. People never write letters anymore...so sad.
*Remember the feeling of being on the road and not worrying about materialistic things. Living for love, good music and God. Less is more (weed through things)
*Learn the guitar already!!!


-TO BETTER
*Limit soda to only 3 times a week (water is much better)
*Keep working out :))
*Keep reading and keep an open mind
*Keep writing
-songs
-journal
-blog
*Attempt eating healthier!!!
*Get better at cooking...practice makes perfect...or better at least


-TO MAKE
*Inspiration Board
*A homemade pie (I have been craving pie for days!)


-TO GET/SAVE FOR 
*A nice camera...I need one!
*A GPS (I go on enough trips I really need to just buy one)
*Record Player
*Upcoming trips
*When I finally pick up and move to Nash.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just started them they need a lot of adding.

Now I am off to do some cleaning, writing and later a fitting for a fashion show next week.

Hope all of you are having a lovely day as well :))

Ohhh Sunday!

Today has been so lovely.
I woke up, went to church (great mass.)
Went shopping with mom and found some steals (a skirt, shirt and sweater all for $8.)
And then found a great pair of black pants that ended up being like $5 and they weren't even to long!
That is a hard task.
Made $22 by donating clothes to Platos Closet.
Enjoyed some yummy treats at our favorite bakery Vande Walles.
Drooled over these beautiful mixers that I WILL someday have.

Now it's home for the night to relax, take a hot bubble bath and listen to some good music.
Good day??
I think yes :)

Here are some of my playlist picks for the night!
Gotye-Somebody that I used to know

Ours-Taylor Swift

Boyfriend-Justin Bieber (Boyyyy grew up and is sounding gooood)

Good Girl-Carrie Underwood

Watching you watch him-Eric Hutchinson
