..and i am back : )

so i'm back after a temporary leave of absence.

lots of new posts coming soon...

oh, how good it feels to be back!

graduation day..

today my little bunny graduates from college. i wish i could be there to celebrate with her! i hate that she will no longer be my roommate : ( i had some of the best times of my life these past two years in our little humble abode. living with 3 of my best friends has been such a great time in my life, and it will never be the same. i am forever changed. i do look forward to visiting her in Dallas! 

this year will be different for sure, but hopefully in a good way...

but without further ado, CONGRATULATIONS Laurena! xoxo

"hidden under umbrella beach.."

only two more days on the beach : (... i have several more books to read, but it looks like i will have to postpone them. (sadly, i only read 4 out of the 5 books i intended to read..) we dance to MJ on the beach, and take a swim so there is not a lot of time left for reading. i want to drive around the town, and take some Polaroids & Diana snapshots. the boy is coming to see me saturday when i arrive, and i could not be more thrilled!

summer is almost over, so bittersweet..

finally...

[today i am thankful for:]

my close-knit family and friends.

the opportunity to spend so much of the summer at the beach.

the boy and how sweet he is to me. 

fall coming up (i've said that so often lately).

almond teacake cookies.

another monday in paradise.

today i am hitting the beach with the girls. 

it should be a lovely day. 

good weather, cute suit, and a great book in hand. 

happy monday <3.

1. another week on the beach in FL.

2. moving back to College Station.

3. operation redo my room.

4. the last annual school clothes Galleria trip with my mom. 

5. trip to NYC with the boy!

6. Aggie Football-whoop. 

7. learning to sew. 

8. the return of all my shows!

-- i know there are even more things i am anxiously awaiting, but that is all for now!

hope you have a blessed Sunday, xoxo.

little black dress.

i purchased this little number from j.crew for the NYC trip 

coming up so very soon. this picture really does not do it justice

because it is one of the most adorable 

LBD i have ever seen! it is very flattering, 

i just have to figure out how i want to accessorize! 

oh new york trip, how you are costing me a fortune before i even arrive...

movie mania.

in the next week i simply must see...

they both look so good! 

two new finds.

i would love this little dress for Aggie Football games. 

i love this tunic from urban outfitters. i love patterns that don't necessarily go together.

 i would like to pair it with black hose and some edgy black boots. 

romping around.

i think i need this for my NYC trip coming up in a few weeks.

 i think i'm in love the scottie dog print! 

feelin' hot hot hot..

well it is another beautiful day at the beach, but hot hot hot! 

i feel like i am melting! so far the day has been a good one. 

i started the day with a morning run. 

then i ate breakfast and finished "Baby Proof" (i would recommend it!) 

While on the beach, i have been taking in rays, and i got started on "Hope in a Jar."

 so far so good... we shall see what the rest of the day has in store!

Good afternoon to all!

maroon and white.

i stumbled across this plum colored Benefit mascara at Ulta today. i think i have to have it for Aggie football season because it has a maroon tint! i am looking forward to fall for sure. i don't want to waste away summer, but i am really anticipating the coming season..!
