Weekend Breakfast


Yum! I love toast, scrambled eggs, and pan fried sausage! It's my favorite kind of breakfast. I'm actually not a huge fan of super sweet breakfasts (waffles, pancakes, etc.) I love savory food :)

I'm in the midst of job apps...It's getting hectic. I know I have finals coming up in a week but my priorities keep getting screwed over. Damn.

Strapless Bras: Mankinds greatest Invention

I LOVE GILLY HICKS (newfound obsession)


Well Strapless Bras and Gilly Hicks (wikipedia described it as A&F's cheeky cousin.)

Gilly Hicks is under the same parent company as AF and Hollister but its SO MUCH BETTER. Gilly Hicks is entirely for women and 3/4 of the store is bras and underwear. It was heaven. The interior design was what really amazed me. Its the dark mahogany you find all over AF but minus the stench that leaves you feeling winded and suddenly with asthma. The staff was so friendly, the bags are adorable, and again the interior design was fantastic. I can't find photos of the dressing rooms online but they were fit for Marie Antoinette. Truly gorgeous!!

Bras were so cheap (went down from 34.50 to 12.90.) I bought a strapless navy bra and wow the difference of that when wearing lace detailed tops is fantastic. It looks much cleaner and the bra itself is great. Even if I jump up and down it doesn't fall due to the awesome quality of the hooks and the thickness of the band. YAYYYYY. Here it is. I also bought underwear but that's just TMI.

New Years Workout

This cardio work out left my legs sore for two days (decent amount) and the "Bond Girl Workout" (I only do the push up segments) have left my arms nice and sore! When I use machines my arms never feel sore the day after so I'm glad to discover that I can do all those muscle toning workouts at home even! I highly recommend these these two workouts if you're looking for a good challenging work out.

Post Holiday Fattiness

HAPPY NEW YEAR

this holiday season felt very calm to me. my sister will be moving out soon to start her first job in either Connecticut or NYC. we're still not sure yet but it'll be one of the two.

After all the yummy goodies from this break I have definitely felt the increase in poundage within me. I'll be hitting the gyms starting tomorrow (start of a new year!) to prepare for the prom (all bearing dresses) and summer (shorts and bikini tops.) I want this to be the first summer I don't feel all blubbery and gross...

In preparation! I need to buy some new shorts and sports bras. I'll most likely be hitting up the outlet malls again to visit Puma Nike and Adidas!

less than 115 pounds here i come!

Pearly Pastels

Top to Bottom, Left to Right: Pearly Metal Headband (H&M), Circle Scarf (NY shop), thin tan leg warmers (stole from sister :) ), knitted grey leg warmers (grandma)

Some items I have who all shared a similar "feeling"/"mood"

I've been really into these types of pearly colors lately. I've also been piling on the leg warmings and socks under my boots these cold winter days so this is a pretty accurate display of my current attire.

everybody everybody wants to love. everybody everybody wants to be loved


Was out taking sr photos with my sister in the forest behind our neighborhood. Click the photo to find out what I'm wearing!

It was lovely weather then. Now i'm preparing to do a photoshoot of my friend that is winter fairy themed. I am excited for the makeup. She is tall and slim with dewy skin so I think the snow will reflect very nicely on her. So excited.
