Working Day!

Another day of work; work; & more work!

Accomplished so much today but not enough to finish it before the end of August.

Yearbook stuff; Planner; Journal; Notebook & Notepad; Sketchbook; New book; Glasses; Scrapbook planner; Portfolio & Columbia College stuff (:

All packed up ready to go. It was way to nice to work inside so I traveled to my backyard & sat by the pool right in the sun! (:

It was a good day to work outside, it was to much stuff to carry by hand so I brought my favorite style snake skin dark pink tote bag.

Here is how I set up to organize my accomplishments:

So glad to get a day off to go shopping tomorrow to get more things done (:

My 4th of July

I spent my 4th of July with the man I love (:

Made our way to East Grand Rapids for some night time fireworks.

Beginning plans were to set up in the park & go get some ice cream.

Well that didn't work out so well when we saw how long the line was.

So plan B, go to the D & W across the street and buy a quarter pint of ice cream & some spoons to eat it ourselves on our picnic blanket in the park while we wait.

Then we walked back to our picnic blanket & sat down to eat & chat before the fireworks started.

Here's a picture of us before the fireworks:

Love this kid to death!

Now can't wait for the 5 days I get to spend with him this weekend July 8th through July 12th.

In all the festivities to celebrating my birthday on July 12th!

More to come, so stay tuned (:

Summer Outfits

5 Simple Things:

1. Any top. Today I chose a flowery printed one. 

Forever 21

Front ^

A lace bottom ^

& A lace opened back.

2. Your outfit may need a nice summer cardigan to match your flowery top. 

Alloy

 3. A headband of your choice. I chose a pearl headband with a big lace flower on the side. [To match my shirt]      From Icing

4. Some heels to spice up your outfit. With this outfit you could do black or brown heels.

Payless

5. To tie the heels in with the outfit add a nice bag to match.

Delias

Now this outfit that I picked out was weather appropriate. On a 87 Degree day the cardigan was only worn when I was in a colder location. [As in mall, movie theater, store, or house]

You can wear this outfit with shorts [that are longer], Capri's, or long skinny jeans/long flared jeans [just make sure the heels look okay with the ones you pick]

Stay tuned for more summer outfits coming your way!

Monte Carlo!

This movie starring Selena Gomez; Leighton Meester; & Katie Cassidy.

A movie Three young women vacationing in Paris find themselves whisked away to Monte Carlo after one of the girls is mistaken for a British heiress.

The movie brought $3.1 Million dollars to the box office on Friday. (the day of the premier)

Here are some clips from the movie:

It is a must see movie! It reminds me of when I was young watching the first ever Lizzie Mcquire movie!

The movie shows love, family/friendship, passion, & a helping hand.

After you watch this movie, you will defiantly want to save your money & take a trip through Paris!

Now check out your movie listings near you!

You wont regret it.
