Life Lately: September 2014

Why hello hello fashionistas!

I haven't been on the blogosphere in what feels like eons, but really has only been about a month and a half. The problem with blogging is that every time I start to think maybe I should just be done I realize that I want nothing more than to have the time to dedicate to this little corner of the internet. 

I'm not sure who even bothers stopping by to check out Glamorous Girl 2014 who never posts, but if anyone out there is still checking in on me just know that I feel your love. 

Since I have been too busy lazy and full of excuses to post I figured I might as well update ya'll on what I have been up to. 

Here's the latest little gem I have purchased from my lovely place of employment. This bag is called the Loryn. I'm completely obsessed with the soft pink and berry color. The zig-zagging detail is what really made me fall head over heels for this bag. I had to have it because I know it will be perfect for fall and I'm sure I'll use it all the way through February (hello isn't this the best valentine's day bag ever?!). I just love me some Kate Spade. 

Stuffing my face with pizza. Obviously I have been so busy eating. No, but seriously I have been eating a lot. Good thing I'm still hitting the gym on the regular to combat the calories. I have been zumba-ing with my mom a few times a week and I'm getting back  into running and weights. 

A little calculator shot to show that I'm busy with school. I'm doing pretty well in all of my classes. I've gotten A's on all my tests except for a B on my first accounting test. I'm making friends, which I'm happy about because the first couple of weeks were tough not having anyone to chat with or compare homework with.

Even though I have been making friends I have been spending a lot of time missing my lovely ladies. Just a little throwback to February-March of this year when we took a little road trip. 

Oh yes, more food pictures. I'm pretty sure I'm no longer a fashion blogger, but more of a food blogger. I picked up sushi to go with my sister after work the other night. Note the every so glamorous cheetah nightgown, gotta love Victoria's Secret sleep tees. 

Selfie for my new haircut.. Which in reality was a trim and I had her add some layers because it was looking heavy. I'm happy that it's finally "fall" (it's still 85 degrees and 90% humidity in FL, but whatever) because I can bust out my vampy lip colors. I'm wearing Hourglass "Nocturnal" in this picture, one of my favorite lipsticks ever. 

This weekend I'm taking a little road trip with my sister because I spontaneously bought the two of us tickets to see One Direction tomorrow! I literally bought them last Friday on the fly because I could get two seats for a reasonable price and I knew she would freak out!

I hope you guys are all doing splendidly and I really hope I can keep my booty posting on here. There is something so cathartic about reflecting on your life and typing away. Okay, I'm off to go do homework and laundry before class tonight. 

Loads of love!

Life Lately: Work, Friends, and Shopping.

Hello fashionistas!

I have not updated in awhile because life has been crazy busy! My face has finally healed up after my wisdom teeth surgery and I no longer have chubby swollen cheeks. I have recently started a new job working at Kate Spade! I absolutely love it and I really love their bags. I can't wait to buy my first one. 

I'm also nannying part time for a few kids, so my life has been go go go. Anyways, here are a few pictures of what I have been up to for the past couple of days.

My girls and I decided to do a beach day, but we also decided to order a huge pizza to take with us. Nothing like carbs, cheese, and bikinis. 

Here's a little beach selfie. I've spent all my days off last week at the beach. Literally four days in a row soaking up the sun, with SPF of course! 

Victoria and I went shopping the other day and I picked up this little bikini at Marshalls. It's a Vince Camuto and I just love the colors. 

I just bought this top and necklace from Kate Spade. I had my eyes on this necklace all last week when I was working and I had to buy it! 

My best friend, Lily, had her 18th birthday yesterday! Hence the silly party hat! I bought her a Kate Spade bag for her to tote around all her stuff when she leaves for college in the fall. I'm staying here and finishing up my AA at the local state college and then hopefully transferring to the same university. 

Birthday bae! My mom made an Oreo cheesecake for her. The cake was sinfully delicious and had a whole pack of Oreos in it. 

Today is my only day not nannying or working so I'm having another beach day with my boyfriend. Oh yeah, the boyfriend is also another new thing that's taking up my time. Overall, I'm very happy and running on lots of coffee while I be-bop around. 

I hope you all are doing well and enjoying the summer! 

Loads of love!

Start of Summer

Hello fashionistas!

Yesterday I took my last exam of my high school career. I may have graduated almost two weeks ago, but I still had to go back for four AICE (college program) exams. Here are a few snaps of what I've been up to since summer began.

Airplane selfies. 

My mom's brother and his son came into Florida to visit for a few days. The two of them are in the middle of getting their pilot's license and wanted to go take a lesson. My sister and I got to go with them. The shock of the day was that I got to fly the plane! It was super cool to fly over downtown Jacksonville and the ocean. 

My girl Victoria and I have spent a ridiculous amount of time hanging out at the gym and engaging in all sorts of shenanigans. 

My mom and I went out for brunch last weekend at this place called Metro Diner. It's been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. I got hallah bread stuffed with bananas and cream cheese with a blueberry/strawberry compote on the side. Beyond delicious. 

Here is one of the many workouts that Victoria and I have been doing. This is super intense and killer in the muggy FL heat. This was followed up with 30 minutes of Zumba.

My girl Asia and I grabbed lunch and frozen yogurt the other day. 

For my summer job I'm nannying part time for a a few different families. This is a perfect fit for me because I love kids! 

I'm really looking forward to making the most out of this summer with all of my girls! 

I've got a review to post later this week and I definitely wanted to share some graduation photos with you all!

Loads of love!

Senior Prom Glitz and Glam

Hello fashionistas!

I'm a little behind on posting this, but I wanted to share my prom pictures with you all. 

I was unsure as to whether or not I would be attending prom, but much convincing from my friends led me to attend. I waited until three weeks before to decide whether or not I was going, so I knew that I couldn't go to Dillard's for a dress because I would end up in the same thing as ten other girls. I went to a vintage shop downtown Saint Augustine and fell in love with the very first dress I tried on. It is straight out of the seventies and didn't need any alterations. My shoes are Guess from DSW and my clutch is also from DSW. I borrowed my earrings from a friend. 

I love my girls! To the left of me is Victoria, you all know Lily, and next to Lily is Asia. 

We had a really nice sunset happening while we took pictures! 

I'm actually really glad that I went with all of my friends. They make me laugh and make me so happy. Plus, getting all glammed up is always fun!

Loads of love!

Mud Mania 5K Run

Hello fashionistas!

Again I fell off the blogging bandwagon. So much has been going on in my life and I feel like I barely have enough time to get everything that has to be done much less sit down and write posts. I have missed blogging and my readers so much and I really want to get back to posting more regularly than once a month. 

I have a fun post to share with you guys! The other weekend my friend, Victoria, and I ran in this Mud Mania 5K. It was an 18 obstacle course throughout mud all the while still running a 5K. Here are some nice shots that really capture all the climbing, swimming, and running that we did. Out of 421 people we finished at 100 and 101. I was so proud of the two of us because it was much more intense than we had expected. 

This is us sliding down into about 5 feet of mucky water and mud. 

This was us after our dirty run. I'm so proud of the two of us! We now are planning to run a half marathon and we started training this week. We are doing a 20 week plan to prepare and it steadily increases the number of miles that you run each week. I never ever thought I would love running so much. 

Have you guys taken up any surprising hobbies?

 I miss you guys and I promise promise promise to try to post more often! I have only 27 more days until my last day as a high school student! We graduate on May 30th, but we stop having to come to school on the 16th. This is slightly a lie because I have to come back to take all of my college exams until June 11th. Oh well, at least they are spread out.

Loads of love!

Last Friday Night

Hello hello fashionistas!

I feel weird being here, blogging.. I know, no one is probably still checking this site out because it has been well over a month since I last made any effort on my corner of the internet.. #oops

I swear I really have been busy and I just have felt like I was lacking anything exciting to say. Needless to say I was in a bit of funk. I took the last month to get in touch with what really makes me happy and I'm back!

 I want to share my Friday night with you all. Every year a local art gallery hosts an all county high school show and I have been lucky to have been in the show since my freshman year. Not only was I in the high school show, but I was also in the regular show that was going on. 

This was my piece for the high school show. The piece is called "An Artist's Apron" and it is made out of clay. I wanted to show a well loved and worn apron that was put back together. 

These shoes were my piece for the regular show. They are called "Mismatched Souls." 

Are you guys not surprised at all to see that my art coincides with fashion? 

These are my fellow pottery gals! They also had pieces in the show.

Some of my girls came to see my pieces! Afterwards we all went out for hibachi grill. I ate soooo much food. 

Poor photo quality, but this was taken at dinner. The rest of the group is lingering out of the picture. 

And obviously a best friend car selfie had to happen. 

I promise not to disappear again! I hope I still have some readers out there! I've missed you all and your blogs!

18th Birthday Recap

Hello fashionistas!

My 18th birthday was on December 8th and I wanted to do a little birthday recap post!

I went out to dinner with my family, best friend, Lily, and my boyfriend. We went to my favorite restaurant called Caps and sat outside overlooking the ocean. 

After dinner we went back to my house for presents and cake. 

Lily's dress is from Kohl's and my skirt and blouse combo is from Loft Outlet. 

Check out this height difference.. I'm over a foot shorter when I'm not in heels. #Shawty 

On my actual birthday I hung out with the boyfriend and he detailed my car inside and out. What a trooper because my car was g-r-o-s-s. I then rushed home to get ready for dinner. 

The following weekend I had an actual birthday party. My mom thought that doing a picture scavenger hunt would be a cool idea and she was right! We had a checklist of pictures that we had to do and at the end we went back to my house and watched all the team's photos in a slideshow. Then the winners were decided and prizes were doled out. We had some tasty pizza and cake for dinner. Here are some of the silly pictures of my team. 

All of us in one public restroom stall.. I'm standing on top of the toilet hoping I don't fall in. 

Had to have a photo in Christmas gear! It was drizzling outside, hence the rain jackets and ponchos!

Feeding a stranger. 

Posing with the lions by the Bridge of Lions.

We just thought these would be funny, they weren't required for the scavenger hunt!

We had to make a pyramid by the base of the fort in downtown Saint Augustine. 

This is one of the other teams jumping with a stranger. I don't have my teams' photo of this, it's on someone else's phone!

The third team had Lily, my sister, Lily's brother, and my sister's friend on it. I sadly do not have any of those photos, but they were also hilarious!

Birthday bow cake! Love the bow and the color purple. 

Overall, this was the best birthday! I got to spend the actual day with people I really care about and then I got to have another party day with my girls who I love so much! I hope 18 is a good year!

Loads of love!
