fresh.

New style board for July, blue and white for the focal colors. Thinking about boats and water a bunch.

                              i love everything about the dress, and that beach, and those rocks/blue sky.

 
             who knows if this perfume smells any good, the coral detailing i could not pass up.

  
                                             something about this sail boat dripping blue nail polish....
 

white, summery, feminine.

what do you think??

life on the water.

When I grow up I want to have a summer home on the water. Whether that may be lake water or ocean water, one of the two I desperately desire. Now me being me I haven't got much of my life planned out other than lots of bits and bobs that I hope for like a family, a job that I love, a wedding less extravagant than the actual marriage, a dog to go jogging with, and friends who last forever. But if there's one thing I want in my life more than almost anything it's a Grady White and sea legs.

The first time I went to Florida I was somewhere around 3 months old, I grew up going to my grandparents house in Boca Grande and ever since I can remember, that life is something I've dreamed of. Maybe it's just summer growing on me but wet hair, sunnies, and beach dresses could easily fit into my everyday...well weather permitting of course.

I can't say whether I'd trade in the city life for the beach one, seeing as I've never lived in the city, but some deep rooted part of me says I'm a sea person at heart. What about you? City or ocean?

Grady White :)

indecisive.

 I want what I can't have until I have it, at which point I don't want it anymore. I'm a bit sad because I'm quite single as of today. At the same time, it's so exhilarating to be alone again, I enjoy being alone (ask my family, they literally think I hibernate in my bedroom. ha.) I love to have someone there when I need them, but when things get to comfortable I feel the need to change things up. My room is rearranged all the time, my style is ever-evolving, and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up! I thrive off of change.

Dance is the only sport I've actually stuck with since I was 3, but you know i did try a few other things such as: softball, soccer, basketball, gymnastics, baton twirling, ice skating, horse back riding, archery, swimming, acting, singing, and musical theater. Just to name a few. ha. So, you can see that I have commitment issues.  

Anywho, this is directly relevant to this post in that this morning I had to run to the bank for, oh i don't know, 10 whole minutes? Guess how long it took me to decide on an outfit for that expedition...just guess. Okay, I'll tell you, 45 minutes. Do the math, that's 4.5 times the amount of time I was actually at the bank! It's getting ridiculous really.

and in the end i wore stripes and jeans, what else is new.

so, yea tribute to that.

Happy weekend!

plain jane.

outfit of the day.

nothing to elaborate, my aunt always adds jane to my first name because she says i'm so beautiful i need to be called something plain. who knows if that's actually true, but I'll roll with it. ha.



decluttering.

I decided to go through my makeup today and throw away the old things, remind myself of a few things, and overall reorganize the products I had. This is what I ended up keeping, some of it went into my display/everyday use box, others went into the drawer of makeup that i love but only use once in awhile therefore I don't need it as extra clutter. I might lose feeling in my fingers if I tried to type the colors and brands of every product here, but I think I could manage commenting back if you left a comment on specific things you wondered about. If anyone even wonders about such things... Well, here's:

Everything.

Lips.

Eyes.



Cheeks.

Brushes.

Skin.



Test drive.

peppy.

Hey guys, I just got home from camp, maybe, 3 hours ago? I'm super tired but it was so much fun. Uh, I have a confession, I took like zero pictures. Woops, sorry! But I do have this one that I took while shopping at H&M! Yay, H&M....!? Yea, theres somewhere around zero pep left in me right now as well, those dance camp leaders are intensely peppy, intensely.

wow, I just realized it looks like I'm making a kiss-y face...i swear I'm not.

also, my mom and i went to a street fair and we found this beauty, just thought I'd throw it in here as well.

Hey guys, sorry about the lack of postage.

I know I'm due for an outfit post, but it's gloomy so how about a bit of picturetherapy to perk me up instead?

 polka dots and color pops.

gold watches and short sleeve dresses.

                                                            white sneakers and plaid tops.

floral skirts and blacktop/blackshoes.

bleach-y hair and long sleeved baby blue baby dolls.

pattern boots and braided hair.

it's all a bit hodge podge i know, but in these sunny days and wind swept nights everything's a little mix and match anyway. Happy Tuesday!

inspired.

i am feeling so inspired today. my best friend Megan and i have a little something duet up our sleeves and i cant even explain how excited we are about this routine. the choreography just came to us and we flow so well together that we couldn't stop stating our love for this dance and song and everything! we'll have to wait and see if it turns out as good as we hope it does, but let me just say that i have a very good feeling about it thus far. :))))

so i thought a little dance inspiration was called for right about now. yes? yes. so uh, here we go. :)
