Bisbee/Tombstone Adventures

On Saturday my friends and I decided to get out of the dorms

and head out to see what Arizona has to offer.

We stopped in Tombstone and Bisbee and I have to say

that Bisbee is my new favorite little town.

Here are a plethora of photos from that day:

Enjoy!

Jason Wu Target Line

I have a list of things that make me extremely happy.

This list includes things like:

68 degree days

Boudin bread fresh from the store

frolicking

finding that perfect new shirt/skirt/dress

hugging loved ones

making lists

taking the perfect picture

etc.

and then there's Target.

Without a doubt, when I need a good pick-me-up

I go to Target. My mom and close friends knew that if

they ever wanted to find me, look for the Target sign.

It's my happy place. I don't even need to buy anything, I just

like to look around.

But now Jason Wu has a new line for Target coming out on

Sunday and I. Am. Excited.

Let's just say I would totally camp out for this like a

middle schooler waiting for Twilight.

I want this cat shirt from the commercial... please?

I'd wear this every day until someone made

a comment.

I could use a new bag...

I yelled at the TV I got so excited when I saw

this dress in the commercial.

All the above please.

What about you? Are you excited?

My Sister's Cooler Than Yours

I don't know if I ever mentioned it before,

but my sister is a gangsta. She's SO gangsta that she even

wears her Cinderella musical sweatshirt every where she goes.

Check it:

Believe me now? :)

This was for her church's youth group and I think

it may be one of the best things I've ever seen. The blonde

guy, Scotty is also like a brother to me so technically I have

two siblings in the video! Look at me. ;)

Have a great weekend!

Can We Talk About...

How excited I am to study abroad in exactly a year?

It seems to far off but when I think of everything I have to

accomplish before I go, I feel like the time is going to go by

very, very quickly. Orvieto looks like such a quaint town

and I can't wait to become immersed in Italian culture and

the language.

For example, I actually get really excited to go to Italian

every day. This is big. I used to hate going to my language

classes in high school and even last semester.

A little motivation goes a long way.

Here are some photos:

They just got their first snow in 10 years! Crazy!

These pictures are so beautiful with the freshly fallen snow.

Can't. Wait.

Fill in the Blank... Sometimes series!

Here are some photos of me contemplating life, just for you. I knew you were just dying to

see some. I thought they fit this "Sometimes" series from Young People in Love.

I get weirdly excited about watching that bouncy ball video for Sony. Don't ask, just watch. HERE!

I feel overwhelmed with gratitude when someone does something unexpectedly nice for me or for a stranger.

I can't stop thinking about how season 3 of Downton Abbey a) won't be on in Britain until the Fall and b) not on in the

U.S. till 2013. NOT. OK.

I just want to eat cheddar bunnies. I'm eating them now.

I am kinda a bad person and don't text people back very fast.... or at all. Sorry.

I wish I could dye my hair the color Rachel McAdam's was when she was promoting The Notebook. Blonde

with a few light strands of pink. Sick.

I just don't understand the allure of tramp stamps. Really??

I can't believe how close I am to having my parents come visit me and seeing Phoenix for the first time!

I strongly consider spending a lot of money on a nice camera. I am obsessed with mine.

SAG Awards Gown Update

I think all that needs to be said in this post is that

the stars definitely one-upped their outfit choices

from the Golden Globes. These SAG awards

gowns are stunning and unique and I loved

them all so much that I just decided to show you

9 of my favorites.

What do you think?

I'm obsessed. Can I PUH-LEASE have this?

Viola Davis stuns in this beauty.

I also want this gown. So classy.

Can I be princess for the day in this gown?

So sparkly and feminine.

The neckline. Enough said.

The cut. And she looks so stinking happy

wearing this gown!

Hottest couple award goes to these two. Love

the color of her gown.

This is the dress I dream about. The color and cut

are just stunning. Brava Diana! Love the hair as well.

A day at the zoo

Yesterday, my friend and I went to the zoo.

We documented the trip and put a great song to it.

You're welcome to watch the video. :)

Outfit Post?

I know what you're thinking...

this girl's got another outfit post??

And yes, I do. I have this thing for

clothes. I buy a lot of them...

And then when I'm bored with my stuff,

I go through my friend's closets.

Which is what happened here.

This outfit is my friend Monica's (last picture)

that her mom got her from Spain.

Yeah, Spain. Big deal.

Therefore, it needed a post.

And then my dorm is just gorgeous

as I've mentioned before so I had to throw

some shots in here as well.

This volcanic rock spans around the entire campus.

I think it's pretty nifty.

And Monica. The photographer and outfit provider.

Outfit:

Dress: Spain

Shoes: Steve Madden

Tights: Target

Lipstick: 99 cent lipstick from Walgreens.

We be classy.

Something to be Shared

“Get a life in which you notice the smell of salt water pushing itself on a breeze over the dunes, a life in which you stop and watch how a red-tailed hawk circles over a pond and a stand of pines. Get a life in which you pay attention to the baby as she scowls with concentration when she tries to pick up a Cheerio with her thumb and first finger. Turn off your cell phone. Turn off your regular phone, for that matter. Keep still. Be present. Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work.” -Anna Quindlen, A Short Guide to a Happy Life

Found this here this morning. Well, technically I found it off

twitter but that's all the same. It's meant to be shared.
