come along with me for...

a few weeks ago my mom and i headed to the carnival to take some pictures.
key phrase being "a few weeks ago", when the weather was much cooler, which is why i am in a sweater and long capris. 
just had to inform you on that one- i am not crazy.
it's nearly in the 100's this week and just the thought of wearing a sweater and long capris outside makes me feel nauseous.

so.
while in hollywood earlier this summer, i found the cutest boutique called varga.
it's not very often when you find a boutique that sells things that are affordable.
but this one was.
i'm always so excited when i find these places because then i know that i can buy things that not everyone else has.
you know, that awkward moment when you walk into a class, the store, or a get together and you're wearing the same shirt as someone else.
or even worse- while at a pool in st. george a few months ago, i was so excited to wear my new bikini from victoria's secret, until another girl walked in wearing the same one.
and it was even more awkward since there were only about five of us there.
so sometimes it's much better to play it safe by shopping at not-so-popular stores.
 so if you find yourself in southern california anytime soon, look up the nearest varga, you won't be sorry!

a little randomness for you.

i wanted to start this post by saying that i am so thankful for everyone's sweet comments and support for my blog.
seriously, it just makes me all giddy inside.
i love it so much.
however, somedays i just don't have much to say because my brain is fried from reading so much meaningless material in text books and literature books!
so to go easy on myself today, i thought that i would just share with you ten little random things about my life so that you can get to know me better.
and then of course, share with you my little get-up that i've got goin' on in the following pictures.
so buckle up because this is going to be craaazy!
just kidding.
although that would be fun.
ok here it goes...

1. i am a daydream-aholic.
2. i have a deep, deep love for southern california.
3. i wish that i was tough enough to teach in an inner-city school.
4. airports are probably my favorite places in the whole world.
5. i'm a nanny, and i cry every single time i think about leaving my job after this summer.
6. i desperately wish that 'the hills' was still being filmed.
7. my feelings are hurt way too easily, and i hate that.
8. someday i hope to drive a black denali (oh please, oh please, oh pleeeease!).
 9. i can't tell people 'no'; just can't do it.
10. i'm going to have all little girls and no boys (sshhh...don't tell my boyfriend/future husband)!
and that's just a lil' about me.
