Newsworthy

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I spend hours a day surfing the internet for interesting and exciting things. (My boss is currently struggling with finding work for me to do, but I can't complain, he's paying me for it.)

Last night I was able to share lots of worthwhile news with my boyfriend and our standard double-date couple. Here's some newsworthy world goings-on for you to educate yourself on.

Alien Planet

Flying Car

Its apparently a slow news day...

Additionally, Last night was the premiere of Twilight's third installment, Eclipse. I will not lie and say I did not buy midnight tickets for New Moon, but it was more for the event itself than the actual movie. I mean, who wouldn't want to see teenage girls scream over Robert Pattinson's overly coiffed hair??
Anyway, I'm going to remain neutral and assert that while I am not the biggest fan, I do not hate Twilight either. So for your enjoyment, one of my favorites, The Oatmeal has presented an informative summation of "How Twilight Works"

Lastly, I've got big plans for the fourth of July... GAGA! Boyfriend's father was kind enough to get me tickets for which I am eternally grateful. I've spent the day deciding what to wear and am still a little unsure but this is what I am thinking:

Oh, also, I decided to be super cliche for my text there... sorry for the lack of creativity. :/

Love, Brittany

Channelling...

Image and video hosting by TinyPic Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I bought this belt in Ireland from (one of many) favorite stores: Accessorize. I've never been much an accessories person, but this store is just unbelievably beautiful. The patterns, colors, inspirations quenched my appetite every time I entered. The prices weren't really ideal for accessories though, especially when converting the euros to US dollars... so this is the one and only article I purchased there.

Dress: Old Navy, Belt: Accessorize, Cardigan: Lucky, Nails: OPI Cancun Fiesta, Greek Evil Eye Bracelet I wear daily (it hasn't been doing so great warding off bad things lately.)

TGIF, this week has been a mess and concurrently I've gone a bit nutzo. Spending hours on end driving a day all alone really increases aggression and stifles human contact. Especially since Oprah curses me every time I consider texting while driving.

Massive party tomorrow for the Brother's High School Graduation. Congrats Kiddo. ;)

Hope the evil avoids you, Brittany

Fresh Start

Hello Friends! I'm Brittany. Formerly one half of "Brittany & Sara" from ParteaintheGarden, I've decided to start anew here at Key Peace. I may share some adventures, inspirations, or obsessions here, although what is to come is very much unknown to me at this point.

I've just recently, as in the past three hours, begun to take photographs with the fervor that I once did. Here's what has come of my reversion:

Dress: Free People, Shoes: apt 9, Key: Father's obscure finding

A lot of them came out completely overexposed by complete luck. (I say luck because the effect only seems appropriate when acquired by such unintentional means.)

Bought the dress yesterday at my local Free People store where the employees exceeded my certainly high standards of customer service. Thumbs up, FP, you're my fave.

Be sure to return. I love friends. I've imported my old posts below for both historic and viewing purposes. And check out my former partner Sara's posts on ParteaintheGarden!

I Want To Visit Faraway Places

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I guess I'll never get over it.
I've been home for three days now and I absolutely love it. I couldn't be happier.
Unless of course I was in the execution stages of running my own business.
Or if I had a job at Free People.
I guess those things just aren't in the cards for me right now.
Still working on succeeding. Since I'm most likely.
Apparently.

Summer is finally here though and I won't let it pass me by.
Catching up after being away four months is proving more difficult than expected.
I feel like I have to remind people I still exist.
No worries, I finally found my Lilac nail polish.
Some things Ireland just couldn't do for me.
No regrets ever.

Documentation

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Cliffs of Moher

It rather upsets me when I think about all the time I've spent in Ireland and the little documentation I have of the country itself.
I tried so hard to focus on being "in the moment" to experience things rather than capturing them on film.
This would be an admirable thing for a person to do in theory, Live the memory rather than simply capturing it on film to live at some later time. Yet, I used to be a photographer. I used to enhance my view of the world by seeing it through a lens. I've been too busy trying to live like I'm supposed to to live like I WANT to.
Here are some rare documented sights.

Every Day is Sunday.

Lately this has been me. I went a bit psycho yesterday and needed some comfort food to bring me back to Earth.

Most unfortunately the bedroom I've been stuck in doesn't quite resemble these... Perhaps if it did I'd never want to leave. But for now I'm taking my studying elsewhere... Starbucks anyone?

I'll Eat You Up, I Love You So

Two weeks left in the land of the Leprechauns. Two agonizing weeks of studying and LEARNING before I'm free for the Summer! Burning with anticipation!

Long car rides, bare feet, lots and lots of ice cream.

No Pants... ;)

Of course I'll miss the life of picking up to transverse national borders every other weekend and indulging on everything I can get my eyes on. I'm not done seeing the world yet.
