Sunny Days Ahead







When it finally stops snowing in Tahoe, I will be using these outfits as inspiration for my summer wardrobe. Trying to shop only out of my own closet this summer, so it will be a fun challenge!

"Me" Time

image via kitschyliving,tumblr.com

Maybe its just me, but some of my favorite times are hanging out with me, myself and I. We share all the same interests, always like the same T.V. shows, and (almost) never get on each other's nerves. One of my favorite things to do is snuggle up in bed with a good movie, a good snack and some kind of craft. I know what you're thinking: NERD ALERT!

But after my temporary loner-stage wears off, I am always relaxed and ready to join the world again. Ready and happy to watch whatever YOU would like to on T.V. 

Unless it's basketball. Or Cougar Town. Because that show is just terrible.

Get-It-Done Thursday

Today is a day for GETTING THINGS DONE! Wahooo! 

OK, I admit I just had two cups of coffee. 

Hopefully this motivation lasts a full day of packing, figuring out my budget, and cleaning the house.

Hope everyone else has a great day too!

The U-S-of-A

This reminded me of my trip cross-country this fall from New York to California.
(A "once" in a lifetime experience ... Heh Heh ... Do you get it? Only ONCE! Never again!!)

No, but seriously, it was really fun despite all the cows and mean tractor trailer drivers and mountains that when you drive over them overheat your car and make it smoke and scare the dickens out of you. The amazing sunsets every night, fun hikes, yummy car snacks and good times with friends made up for it!

Holy Mackerel!

Finding a new place to live is hard! I want the most amazingly beautiful home ever, at the most amazingly low price ever. (I'll let you in on a secret....it doesn't exist) But I will find the perfect spot!

And hopefully it will contain a cute little closet that I can do THIS to!

How cute?

Happy Mothers Day

Couldn't decide which quote was more true, so I picked both! Happy Mother's Day to all the awesome moms out there, especially mine, who I lucked out in getting a best friend in as well! Love you Mom!

Date Night



Sweatshirt, jeans: Forever 21 Boots: Thrift store find

Out for happy hour after work with the boyfriend. Was not in the mood for dressing up after a long day, so I wore my favorite comfy sweatshirt with my new thrift store find....these boots! Love the shape of them. Love the olive green color of them. Love them.

Happy Weekend!

Gathering inspiration for my future home lately, maybe because I am moving into a new place soon. I love open spaces, patterned fabrics, exposed wood and, (after looking at what I picked), apparently the color teal! Great porches are a must as well ; )
