#MIWDTD

My imaginary well-dressed toddler daughter is probably the greatest pinterest board that I have ever seen.  One of the other interns I work with (she's a total betch and I love her to death. Haaiiiiii Eliza) told me about this after we talked about the little boy featured in The Times a few weeks ago.  If you have not seen what Quinoa ... yes that is this little diva's name.... is up to, check her out!


Each picture as a witty caption to go along with it!  You must look, seriously!

Senior Space

I do not care that it is in the middle of summer, I am constantly excited to decorate my room.  This year will be my final year in living in such a small space but I am still beyond excited to see how creative I can get with it.  I rarely ever buy new things for my rooms at school.  I have not gotten new bedding since freshman year (other than sheets) and I normally only have to buy a mirror and maybe some new pull out plastic drawers (not since sophomore year)!  Anyways... I have decided on how I want my room to look.

  • New comforter or a quilt is a must.  My white one now is too ugh blugh for me.
  • I am dying for these mini gold stickers I saw that are little circles I could put on my wall! So inexpensive from this website and so, so cute.

Amazing blog! Check it out!

  • I also want to add a bookcase to my room.  I know it seems like it won't fit (for those of you who know where I live) but the idea in my head, it will.  Plus I have a slightly larger room this year because I switched!
  • A new rug.  I saw a navy and white one.. (I think navy, white, gold, and pink will be my colors since I already have almost everything in them anyways) that is chevron and I am in love.  Total must have. (p.s. This website has the absolute best rugs! So so cute!)


I figured all of these things would be able to be used in my apartment once I graduate.  If I get an apartment? If I graduate?  Hahah totally kidding. I am graduating in May.

Do you think this color combination sounds cute?  Give me any advice you have!

Stay Sunny !

Get Your Shades On

I am seriously loving the mixing color hue trend.  Pink on pink, blue on blue, green on green.  I love it! Everyone is so scared to mix the same colors in different shades with each other and I do not understand why.  These lovely women were able to pull of this look with ease!  You should all try it.  Be a little brave!  I am going to and I will post about it soon.  Promise!  




Have any of you tried this fabulous trend?  Let me know!

Stay Sunny !

Thanks to my handsome boyfriend for taking the pictures!  

How did you sport red, white, and blue this week?

Lippy

I have been blessed with the greatest group of aunts and uncles in the world.  Unfortunately (yet so amazing because I love visiting them) my dad's sister and her husband live in England.  I get to see them about a quarter of the amount of time I wish I could.  When they visit I LOVE it and visiting them is just as incredible.  Luckily enough, my auntie has amazing taste in beauty products.  She introduced me to Chanel Lipgloss at a young age and I have been hooked ever since.

Chanel makes some of the best beauty products and their lipgloss is no different.  It stays on forever without drying out and getting gross and sticky (a huge pet peeve of mine).  I honestly suggest it to anyone and everyone.  Even though there are only drips left in some of mine, I keep them all.  There is always enough for an emergency application while I'm out at the bar.  The collection below is all from my fabulous auntie and I could not thank her enough for introducing me to the wonderful world of Chanel.




This lovely pink gloss is number 131!  Almost sheer and perfect for summer!


Stay Sunny !

Wine and Dine Me

I am lucky enough to live with my cousin in NYC and her dad, my uncle, takes us to dinner whenever he is in town.  We call it being wined and dined however, in reality, we don't drink wine with him and it gets crazy and fun instead of fancy.

Anyways, when living with five other girls, six total, and we all have internships in the city, money is not filling our wallets.  Being wined and dined has a whole new meaning to me so I have come up with a list of great wines that all cost under $20 for the small spender! Summer and wine are a perfect match so next time you are at the store, pick one of these up and pour yourself a treat!


Cupcake Vineyard's Sauvignon Blanc - $10.99
A friend of mine cannot get enough of this wine so of course I am going to suggest it!

Moscato
Skinny Girl Moscato - $18.99
You just cannot beat 100-calories per serving for under $20!

Chateau de Campuget Costieres de Nimes Tradition Rosé 2011 - $10.99
Rosé is perfect for a summer soirée!  I might even have to plan one!
Clearly I am not a fan of red wine! Haha!  Hope you all get to try one of these soon (if you are 21 of course)!

Stay Sunny !

Summer's in Full Swing

Now that I can count the days until July on one hand, I figured it was time to remind all of you the best way to be spending your sunny, summer days!


summersecretspost



Go with the flow.  Say yes to everything and everyone and don't look back.  You will not regret the experiences you get to have but you will regret saying no.  Do you ever think a river stops flowing? No, so throw on a life vest and jump on in.

Just add salt water.  Do not bother with doing your hair and putting on tons of makeup.  Be natural and spray some salt water into your hair.  You will be good to go and the boys will love your natural look.

Indulge.  Summer fruits, veggies, and every other seasonal food only lasts so long.  Please your taste buds with your favorite treats whether it is ice cream and sprinkles or a fuit salad.  Your belly will be sure to thank you.

Cherish your friends.  There is only so much time you get to spend with your bests.  Do not let it slip away because one day you will miss those times.  The memories are what will keep you young and laughing until your hair turns gray. 

Travel.  Traveling is the only way to spend money that will actually make you richer.  Trust me when I tell you this.  Get out there.

Be a daredevil.  Overcome your fears and jump off that cliff, literally.  Don't hold back.  This gorgeous weather will only last a few more months so get out there and go skydiving or something.



You can thank me later.

Stay Sunny !
