Friday Favorites...

Happy Friday all!!! This was the longest 3 day work week of my life!! It may have had something to do with having to come back to work mid-week from a 5 day vacation, but I'm just so happy its almost the weekend again, because I definitely use the time off again lol

I plan on working on more note cards and my sister's graduation invitations. I have some note cards to send out to some of my fellow bloggers as mentioned earlier this week. I order some beautiful Linen paper and pretty watermelon envelopes... I seriously love paper goods/products, it's almost sad lol

I assemble a rather large list all of my favorite things I've found on the internet this past week and mushed (is that even a real word?) them all together into a cute, little collage. I hope you all enjoy! 

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6* / 7 / 8

(Please excuse the amateur attempt at this collage, It was my first one for my F.F. & I definitely made it too small, sorry!)

Have a super stellar weekend all!!

Vanilla Cupcakes for Two...

Hello all!! Happy June!!! I seriously just love when June rolls around, it's truly such a lovely time of year.

Last weekend I was in the mood to bake, so I did! lol I used a recipe that makes just two cupcakes! The perfect amount for you and your best friend lol



The recipe worked surpisingly well and my from scratch frosting was the perfect finish. I added some sweeten shaved coconuts to the frosting and on top for a little something extra..

june first!

     Such a lovely, lovely day it is today! Ahhh, the first of June! its just rolls of the tongue with such ease and happiness! Summer is officially in full swing and I seriously could not be more pleased! So what comes along with summer other than, no school and trips to the beach? That's right, LOTS of cute summer clothes and accessories!! Shopping for a summer wardrobe has to be one of my most favorite things to do when summer finally rolls around. Although my wallet my not always be so happy, it's definitely an investment toward making summer fabulous!

     My absolute favorite summer pieces are sun dresses and wedge sandals! I buy loads of them each summer, year after year, they never cease to deliver! They're simple and always affordable! My two favorite things when it comes to choosing a wardrobe! I also have a weakness for sunglasses, flip flops, huge tote bags, and fun accessories for my hair! This summer I'm actually attempting to make my own hair accessories! Its been working out rather well so far, once I master making them I'll post some photos!

     Target is my go to store for absolutely everything! I'm there probably two to three times a week! I have a slight addiction, you could say lol Any who, Target offers awesome deals on summer staple pieces that you just can't live without! So instead of paying those outrageous department store prices this summer, try the wallet friendly alternative and still look amazing! Also, some other great priced stores are, Forever 21, H&M, Love Culture and even Walmart has some great finds for great prices! So be sure to check those places out for your summer wardrobe!

     Another great source of inspiration is lookbook! Its an awesome website where tons and tons of the most fashionable people post pics of there fabulous outfits! I love visiting lookbook and becoming inspired by what people post. It makes getting dressed in the morning afternoon more fun lol So I highly suggest looking around lookbook for some summer inspirations for your wardrobe. Here's some of my favorites from lookbook that I found earlier...

I want this maxi dress in my closet now! I love

the skull pattern and the fact that it's black!

a day at the beach...

     This past wednesday, me and four of my closest friends took an impromptu trip down the shore! It was probably the most fun I've had in a very, very long time! We went to Monmouth Beach and it was beautiful! The weather could not have been better for a day at the beach. We got there a little later that we had liked, but that didn't stop us from taking advantage of our surroundings.
     We got to the beach around 4, laid out our towels and enjoyed the first beach trip of the summer!! (which is always the best trip in my opinion!) We tested out the water, which was freezing cold! But once again that didn't stop any of us from jumping right in! We had almost too much fun, i would say lol There were barely any people there, which was perfect, because we got to act like the five year olds we really are without having to worry about any onlookers lol
     There was a man who was fishing right off the shoreline and he caught two huge fish! And being the five year olds that we are, we literally ran over to him with our phones in hand to take pictures of the huge fish! My dad's a fisherman so i knew exactly what type fish they were and my friends just laughed at my knowledge lol it was rather funny though.
     Once we had our fill of the beautiful Jersey Shore, we headed back home around 7. We had plans that evening to go see The Hangover Part 2 at midnight, but not until we had some Captain and Coke to get us in the movie viewing mood! lol
      Definitely one of the best days I've had in quite a long time. Its amazing what a day with your best friends can do to you!

Have you planned a trip with your best friends for the summer? If so, where are you guys going? I'd love to hear about your plans!

xxoo

    

finals. job hunting. summer. oh boy!

     thank goodness this semester is practically over!! no more papers! no more homework! no more tests! NO MORE FINALSSSSS!!!! I'm so happy this semester is over bc I did really well for once and I can't wait to see my final grades!! I took my intro. to business final today and it was honestly the easiest exam I've ever taken!!! My professor used the exact questions from our preivous tests and gave us a complete list of all the essays!! hard to believe this happened in a college course. But I don't mind, as long as I get a really good grade! I have my Accounting 102 final on Monday(MY LAST FINAL OF THE SEMESTER!!!!) and my professor is having a study group tomorrow morning at 9am, ON A SATURDAY! ughhh! its soooo annoying, but I know that if I want to do well than I need to go! and i shall! haha
    I was also recently "let go" (to put it nicely) from my job at a jewlery/accessories store. After being there for over a year in April, I'm honestly happy to say that I'm glad I no longer work there. It was just another one of those mall jobs where they promise you the world but instead, they take advantage of you in every way possible! Soo unfair! I've finally decided people in retail have no souls!! They're selfish and heartless, well at least the people I worked with. Its a little harsh on my part to claim that everyone in retail is a heartless person.
     The one thing I hate about leaving a job, is having to find a new one! ughhhh!! its such a headache! But fortunately, I searched craigslist for days and submitted what seemed like 100 resumes and I actually got a call back from a Chiropractor's office. The interview went extremely well, actually a thousand times better that I anticipated! The Chiropractor interviewed me and seemed to be interested in hiring me. I'm eagerly waiting for Tuesday to roll around for two reasons: 1) SCHOOL'S OVER!!!! 2)the Chiropractor's office will be calling me back to let me know if I got the job!!! : D  Such an exciting day Tuesday will be!
     And then there's summer, its practically here!! And i'm just as excitd about it as the grade school kids who still have a month or so of school left!! I just love the idea of not have to constantly be running back and forth between school and work! I might actually get to have a social life again!! Considering I haven't had one since probably right around.... oh yeah, LAST SUMMER!!!! It's crazy, I know but school became my number 1 priority, like it should have always been. It tooked me a while to realize that I kinda have to actually go to class regularly and do my homework on time inorder to do well in college, and eventually graduate. So I'm the right path finally! And ready to relax and enjoy my time off this summer!! well until summer classes start hahaha
