a condensed version of my weekend: link up

I love weekends like these, where we have Monday holidays. They are so absolutely wonderful. We get to wake up on Monday and think, oh I don’t have to work today! How wonderful is that?! Anyways, this weekend was rather uneventful, which is why I’m actually sharing with you pictures from my week. If you read my blog on Friday you would have seen that I had a date night with myself and was bored-out-of-my-mind. Okay, Brand came home at like 9 and then we went to in-n-out so I guess that counts as a date…. Read More

what I wore: this friday night

top: c/o Choies, necklace: c/o Choies, skirt: walmart (similar), leggings: Hugo (similar), booties: plato’s closet arrowhead (buy), watch: no longer sold (similar), Happy Friday friends! Well, what can I say, I’m living the life of a wife whose husband is in one of those masters programs. It’s Friday night and I’m having a date with myself. I’ve watched my fair share of Netflix and I think there’s only so many seasons of cake boss and dc cupcakes that you can watch until you find yourself heading to the store to create your own cupcake war… Read More

what I wore: peter pan plus Paris

top: c/o Choies, jeans: nordstrom, booties: c/o plato’s closet arrowhead (buy), watch: no longer sold (similar), bracelets: threads, earrings: c. wonder (similar) If one things for sure I’ve always loved these peter pan collars. I love how feminine they look-I don’t understand their name either. I especially love them when they are paired with buttons right-down-the-middle. It screams Paris and makes me feel like I’m back there already. Walking those bumpy cobbled streets, smelling the fresh flowers as you pass by every other store, hearing the locals speak French-and, gosh-darn-it you can’t understand a lick… Read More

weekend shenanigans

It’s official. My last day of school starts tomorrow… well technically it starts tuesday, but my internship starts tomorrow. Such a bitter sweet moment tomorrow and tuesday will be. Beginning my last semester in the college world, boy does it feel good. People keep asking what I want to do after I graduate and my answer is short and sweet, I just want to be a mom. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, in fact that’s all I’ve ever really wanted to be. Motherhood seems so natural for me, I don’t know if… Read More
