Rain, Rain Go Away

With Spring upon us, I know that Spring will also bring along Spring showers. :) Yes, the rain. Don't we all love rain. Note my sarcasm. :) It rained/hailed (who gets hail in April except for Icelanders?) at practice today but it only lasted for a little while.

Anway, Josie at With a Wink and a Smile has inspired me/reminded me that I neeeed to get rainboots. Obviously since it rains/hails at tennis practice. :) Here's the link to her inspirational post. :) Thanks Josie!

I'm thinking abotu getting these ones. I'm not in love with the color but I like the girly feel it has. I don't know. The only time I get to wear rainboots is on wet, dreary days. So I think its cute when girls wear super adorable, super cheery rainboots. Its the juxtaposition, I think. :)

These are called Allison Floral Rain Boots. The price isn't too bad. And considering where I live, I will get to wear these year round. :) So this will be money well spent! :)

Started reading Nicholas Sparks' book, The Choice, today. I somehow lost my copy of The Last Song. I don't know where it went. I put it in my tennis bag one day and then the next day it was gone. Hmmm...I think I know who touched it though. Jenny...if you're reading this...I know it was YOU! :D

But I seriously want it back soon. How else will I find out what happens to Ronnie and Will? I mean, I could go see the movie but I really want to read the book first. My friend says that she listened to The Last Song's soundtrack and that helped her get into the book.

She said that she cried a ton and I hope I cry too! Sometimes you just want to cry. Oh, but I will be going to go see The Last Song soon! Yay! As soon as I finish the book. Hint, hint Jenny...

Don't forget to check out my giveaway! Who doesn't love a free tote? Crazy people, that's who! And it's the last day you can enter. :)

Has anyone seen The Last Song? Should I spend my ten dollars to see this movie because if not, I'll just stay home. :) Comment. Comment. Go and Comment! :)

How To: Be Pretty in Pink

Tomorrow I'm off on a school field trip. I can't tell you how long its been since I've been on one of those. :) Elementary school, I think. Maybe Junior High. I can't really remember...

I, of course, procrastinated and am leaving all of my homework that is due on Monday for me to do on the two hour bus drive there and back. Four hours on a bus filled with smelly, sometimes obnoxious high schoolers. Jealous?

Hahaha. :) No, really I think I'm going to have tons of fun. Just wait. So exciting...I think I'll have problems sleeping tonight.

Here are some ladies rocking hot pink! :D

Mary-Kate Olsen at 21 Screening After Party. Wearing Miu Miu Oversized Suede
Clutch, Christian Louboutin Gwenissima, Black Satin Jumper, and Hot Pink Belt.


Victoria Beckham Leaving Scott's Restaurant in London. Wearing Antonio
Berardi Dress, Black Pumps, and Chanel CC Clutch


Demi Lavato at a Spa. Wearing Ray Ban 3025 Aviator Sunglasses, Prada Vitello
Shine Tote, Simple Black Flip-Flops, and Two Piece Black Sweatpants.


Taylor Momsen Topshop Topman Private Dinner. Wearing Topshop Mixed Tier
Mini Skirt, Fishnet Tights, Workman Booties, Simple Black Tee, and
3/4 Sleeve Leather Jacket.

Hot pink is so...hot. :) Pun intended. But I think that neon pink is a great way to make an outfit stand out. There are just some days when I want to stand out! :)

Right now I'm trying not to laugh too hard. My sister has intorudced my mom to Miley Cyrus' music and right she (my mom) is singing The Climb at the top of her lungs. :) Hahaha. I think we've discovered why neither my or my sister have any vocal talent. I love you, Mommy! You know I'm only being silly. :)

 Please, please, please comment! I need serious help with the college issue. Which one should I go to? Its such a huge decision! Yikes. :/

Breathe With No Air


L: Zig Zag Scarf ($6.50)  R: Fab Cuff Denim Shorts ($7.00)

 
 
Spring Break is over! :/ I know, I'm bummed too. I finished the paper that I was supposed to do over spring break Sunday night but I think it turned out okay. Espeically considering it was a last niute project. :)
 
Here's another post about cute deals. All of them are ten dollars or less! That's amazing, right?
 
Okay, to clear up some confusion my giveaway is ending Friday. April 9th. I extended the date because I was lazy over spring break and decided I didn't want to do anything invovled with a giveaway. I'm not sure if you know this but I'm a huge procrastinating. Huge! :)
 
This year I've been trying to work on that issue but as you can see with my paper and my contest, I haven't been very successful so far. But I still have more than half a year to work on that so give me time. :)
 
Got to go do something. I'll talk to you guys tomorrow, I hope. :) Am I the only one who tends to procrastinate? Am I alone? Please tell me I'm not. Happy Belated April Fools! :D

I Was Blind Sided

See:The Blind Side
This movie was sooo good! No wonder Sandra Bullock won the Oscar for Best Actress. I loved her southern spunk and Michael's honest sincerity. The little boy was super cute too! If you haven't caught this movie than it just came out on DVD earlier this week. You need to check it out! Even if you're not a huge football fan (I don't really like football) the story is so compelling that you forget that its supposed to be a sports movie. :) I just bought the book the movie is based off of. If its half as good as the movie than it will be money well spent.

Read:Big Boned
This is the third book in Meg Cabot's popular Heather Wells series. Think Nancy Drew but about fifteen years older and if Nancy Drew used to be a teen popstar with a loser popstar ex-boyfriend. :) I know, its so good. The past two books were amazing. I know I talked about the book Size 12 is Not Fat on my blog. Just click here to check it out. :) I recommend this book for anyone who's looking for a laugh and good ole whodunit. :)

Watch:Giuliana and Bill
Giuliana and Bill are hilarious! This show is so fascinating. They're just a regular old couple that have their diffrences (did anyone catch that episode where they got remarried?) but most of the time they're just a cute fun-loving pair. They're not too serious most of the time and in some ways this show kind of reminds me of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Just a little. :) If you're looking for a good laugh check these two out. :)

Wear:Michael Kors' Very Hollywood
This scent is soo addicting. If you don't know, I adore perfumes. But for the past two weeks I have constantly been reaching for this one scent. The bottle is so adorable and wearing it is kind of bitter-sweet (I mean I smell sooo good but I don't want to use up the entire bottle!). Every time I spritz myself, I glance down at the level of liquid in the bottle and I get a little nervous. :)

Easter Time

Happy Easter!!

Hello everyone! I just hit 350 followers. I know, its the best Easter present I could have gotten. :) Thank you for everyone who hit that little "follow" button off to the side. I really appreciate it. And thank you!! :D

This Easter my family and I are keeping it low key. It's my mom's birthday today. We made her a cake and got her flower. Made her a card and we're all waiting for her to wake up. The birthday girl should be able to sleep as long as she'd like, right?

Anyway, I know this happened almost a week ago but I'm still excited about it. :) Grace from Smile Couture put me in her March 27, 7 on Saturday. It was really cool to be reading her blog post and then I see my words under the Blogger Quote of the Week. :)

Thanks Grace. You made my day. Here's a link to her post. And here's another link to the blogpost I actually said that quote in. She has a new 7 on Saturday post up for you guys to check out.

Nothing much to report. Spring Break is almost officially over. NOOoooo! But sadly its true. Wish I had a time machine so I could start my spring break all over again. Anybody know where I can get one? Anybody? Anybody?

Sigh. :/ Going to go Easter Egg hunting. Wish me luck! And again, Happy Easter everyone!!

Kick Back and Relax

Nudes have taken over the fashion world but it has also taken over my world. Or at least my cosmetic world. :) Yes, I have taken the leap from rosy colored lips to ones that look like I have nothing on. My mom has this lipstick color called Nice N' Nude and I put it on one time and thought it looked horrible. Horrible.

I looked washed out and pale and sick and just not...normal. But at the time (about a year ago) I failed to realize that I was missing out on a key step. The lipgloss, of course. :) Silly me.

Trust me. Lipgloss can transform a dull, pale nude lip into a stunning look. No lie. If you don't trust me look at the evidence.

Yes. Its Ms. Victoria Beckham rocking the nude lip. :) Doesn't she look amazing. Her messy hair and smokey eye just compliment her nude lip so well. Or should I say her nude lips compliments her messy hair and smokey eye?

I know that the nude lip is not a statment look but it helps create a statement look whether it be a bold eye or a intense hair do. The look is natural and stunning and...I've run out of adjectives. I don't want to sound like a broken record. :)

Mac's Creme d'Nude is a really nice color. My mom insists that Laura Geller's Nice n' Nude is the best. She is very loyal to her makeup brands. :) Either one gives an amazing look on the lips.

 But Victoria is not the only sporting this look. Mary-Kate Olsen, Ciara, Angelina Jolie, and Michelle Trachtenberg (Georgina Sparks from GG). Its understated but not all good things need to visually assault the person looking at it. :) Hahaha. Enjoy and try the nude lip. Everyone else is. :D

One Day

Spring break! Yes! Oh, I need this. :) Just one week of relaxing and fun. Sigh.

Currently watching Criminal Minds. It is literally the scraiest show I've ever watched. Its so difficult to watch it all by myself because I get so freaked out! These people on this show are just creapy and sick. Yuck. :/ But at the same time its so addicting because its so scary!

Hahahaha. I'm just a huge contradiction. Have you seen the Starburst commerial that has the Scottish Koreans? It made me laugh so hard the first time I saw that. :) The same things in life are so amazing.
Here's Jessica at Cafe Urth in Hollywood. :) Lately her style's been slouchy-chic--she looks amazing but she looks like she's not even trying. So jealous. Her daughter is so adorable. I love the name Honor, its so unqiue. Here's how to get Jessica's style. Enjoy!







Nothing much to report. My life has been pretty low key in the past couple days. :) Totally bombed my science test but, oh well. Life goes on right? Am frantically trying to finish reading The Last Song  before I go see it. So far its really good! :) But I'm only five chapters into it.

I've decided to extend the length of my giveaway because, well, this week I kind of just want to relax. Yes, I'm being lazy but its spring break! Next week I'll back into the swing of things and I'll get down to business. I promise! :D

Did anyone go and see Alice in Wonderland? Was it any good? :) Bye! Enjoy the rest of your day.
