Luscious

Its no secret that I'm a little obsessed with design. In 9th grade I took an interior design class because I was convinced it was my future. Then I realized that unless I acquired a rich husband first that goal was just not practical. Here are some amazing inspirational rooms I would absolutely love to live in.




It also bears no surprises that I'm completely infatuated with Chandeliers. My freshman year of college my roommate and I were known fondly as 'the Chandelier girls' because of the Chandelier I so lovingly hung from the ceiling. A lovely touch for a drab college dorm room.

Blast From the Past

Hello Friends. This post is happening because I stumbled upon some of my friend Salina's photography and voraciously went searching for more. These were taken Senior year of high school for a photography project. The above photo was entered into a photo contest and won! The following were for a project based on Alice in Wonderland. See more of Salina's photography here. Enjoy.








The week is new and so far, so good. Work flew by today while I indulged into a new book by Sarah Dessen, an easy read. Thunder is threatening the skies right now and through the shades I can faintly see the flashes of lightning. Time to take cover.

Epically Overdue

So, I've been epically busy over the past few weeks and finally took last night to recuperate and just sleep off all the fatigue I've been building up.
Fourth of July week/weekend was amazing with boating, jet skiing, getting the boat stuck 10 feet into the marsh and pulling it out with the jet ski, Gaga, family fun, bananagrams (a game similar to scrabble but different), neon nail polish, more boating, more jet skiing, a little bit of working, celebrating life with summer friends, more jet skiing (you get the picture), a little shopping, a lot of thunderstorms, and finally a little relaxation.
The sunset on the way to the shore was incredible.

American Apparel apparently discontinued the skirt I planned on owning for Lady Gaga but no fear, I came up with a lovely outfit nonetheless. No pictures were captured of such thing besides the headband and the peek of the sequin tube top here. I wore a black flared tube top and a black tube skirt. Plus my new Steve Madden's that I got for a mere $60.


The show was incredible. The most bizarre thing I've ever seen in my life, but also one of the most amazing.


I've been making myself amazing meals lately. This is a roasted eggplant panini with spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and feta. My new obsession.



The sun seemed almost sad for us to be finally leaving the beach and heading home... I too am sad. But hopefully I'll be back before long. Pool day today. Perhaps I'll bring the camera out and show some actual outfit posts.

Enjoy the sun!

List: To See

Since my return from Ireland, and since it is summer, land of sun, heat, and vacation, I've started making a list of my "most wanted to see" places on earth.

Stargazing

The Atacama Desert in Chile is said to have the clearest night sky in the world.

Mother Nature's Wonder

I saw the little known, and much smaller Wiamea Canyon on the island of Kauai in Hawaii and ever since I've been dying to see the Grand Canyon in all its... well, Grandness.

Relaxation

The boyfriend is always talking up the beauty of Bora Bora (not that he's ever been) and I'm starting to see where he's coming from.

Party People

Vegas. Enough said?

Culture

Reading Eat, Love, Pray really left me intrigued by the remote Indonesian destiantion of Bali. Although, the remoteness may make the transit quite taxing.

Iconic

Yes, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was filmed here, and yes, that is what inspired me to lust over this picturesque island. Santorini is probably also one of the most touristy islands in Greece, and one I did not make it to on my Eurotrip, but I'm still convinced it would be an experience worth having.

The list goes on and the list will continue to grow. (There's still a lot of America I desperately want to see, first on the list is Nashville.)

Any destinations you crave?
