Today!

Today is the day that I move home for the summer! I am so excited to be home again and to be able to spend time with all of my family and friends and be close to the beach but I also feel kind of sad about leaving Raleigh. It's a little bittersweet because I know when I return to Raleigh in July, things won't be the same as they are now! My closest friends life's are changing. Hayley is graduating from college and although she'll stay in Raleigh, she'll be working a full-time job starting in August after she returns from mission work in Uruguay. My other friend Bre will be moving to another city in a few days and she won't be in Raleigh when I return which will just be bizarre. All of these changes are making me kind of sad but at the same time, I am happy and curious to see what the future holds for me. Hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday!

all packed up and ready to go!

A Day Late..

I know I am a day late, but after working a 12 hour shift yesterday in the restaurant industry, I honestly had barely enough energy to drive myself home and crawl into bed! But I just wanted to say a happy mother's day to both of my moms! My mom is amazing and I wouldn't be where I am at today if it wasn't for her, and my step-mom is truly a blessing in my life. I can't imagine my life without both of these wonderful women!

Cinco de Mayo

Today is Cinco de Mayo and we all know what that means, it's time for quesedillas and margaritas! Today I will be taking my Anatomy & Physiology I final exam and then I have to go to work for a few hours, womp. But after work I plan on celebrating this lovely holiday & the beginning of summer with some friends downtown! After doing a little research, I found that not surprisingly Cinco de Mayo is not an actual Mexican holiday. It does celebrate the day the Mexican Army defeated the French in the Battle of Puebla but other than that this day isn't important. The holiday and celebrating of Cinco de Mayo is mainly recognized in the United States. Real holiday or not, I will be using this day as an excuse for some good drinks! Hope everyone enjoys their day!

2011 Met Gala

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala is always a fashion spectacle. Celebrities arrive wearing their absolute best and sometimes have a high profile designer as their arm candy for the night. After looking through the pictures from this event I found ten looks that I liked best, in no particular order. Surprisingly, most of the looks I liked were either neutral in color or red. What do you all think? Which look from the Met Gala did you like best?

1. Lea Michele in Escada

2. Gwyneth Paltrow in Stella McCartney

3. Blake Lively in Chanel Haute Couture

4. Dianna Agron in Michael Kors

5. Ashley Greene in Donna Karan

6. Kate Hudson in Stella McCartney

7. Gisele Bundchen in Alexander McQueen

8. Sarah Jessica Parker in Alexander McQueen

9. Emma Roberts in Michael Kors

10. Isla Fisher in Tory Burch

Woohoo it's Wednesday! Although I will be spending majority of my day with my nose crammed in my Anatomy books there are still many things I am loving!

- First of all, I am loving that as of 4:20 tomorrow I will officially be done with Anatomy & Physiology I!

- Second, I am loving that I will be home in SC five days! So excited!

- Third, I am loving that my birthday is in nine days!

- Fourth, I am also loving this new Calypso St. Barth line at Target. I might just buy everything in the collection. No joke.

I hope all of you are having a wonderful Wednesday too!
