Book Process: Day 2

Hi guys! Today I was working on my book and it is coming along really well. I am remembering so much from my previous years living in Rhode Island and the other states I lived in. It's about 6 pages long now. But my goal is to get up to a couple hundred. I already plan for when it is ever published that it should have a few pages in the book containing some photos and then I know the cover already, but that is secret.

Toodles!

Today's Outfit/Splurge

Top/Jeans/Shoes/Ring/Pandora/Bag/Earrings
Made with Polyvore

This is my outfit of the day! Now the Michael Kors bag isn't available anymore, I got it at the beginning of my junior year. The shoes, clothes and bag are exacts but the Pandora, ring and earrings are replicas to represent the exact's that I have. 

I splurged on my outfit from J. Crew since I got an A in my English class. I was so proud of my work that I wanted to reward myself. 

Toodles!

The Three L's

Like 

I like that school is almost over. I only have about two or three days left. Plus I am exempt from my math final and I just turned in my last piece of math homework. All I have left is to turn in my English portfolio, a computer final, and a public speaking final. I am already putting my English portfolio together because I want to turn it in early.

Love

I love that I am getting so many babysitting and pet sitting jobs. Like now that school is starting to end, they are all starting to come in. I have three pet sitting gigs this week, babysitting on Wednesday and babysitting on Friday. AH! Oh well, all the money I earn is going in half between bank account and spending money. For my spending money, I am going to be doing small splurges at J. Crew.

 Loathe

I loathe mornings. Unless I'm being given breakfast in bed. But anyway, I just loathe being woken up. I love my sleep. I have the best dreams in the morning. Plus I don't like leaving the warmth of my bed whether or not my dog is still in bed cuddling with me.

Book Process: Day 1

Hello readers! If you can recall, I told you in a previous post that I had decided to write a book and that I have given myself one year to complete a rough copy. I started yesterday outlining the layout of the book and today since I have no work in my computers class, I started pouring into the Word doc. I've mainly poured out the events that are most recent. I'll be having my mom give me more info on the past events.

Toodles!

Wish List of the Day

 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8
Created through Polyvore

Today, I have been obsessed with anything nautical inspired. I have this love for anchors ever since I lived in Rhode Island. Rhode Island, which is apart of New England is the haven of anything nautical. I miss the little state so much ever since I moved to Virginia. However, I think the real reason why I love anchors very much is because I am a Navy brat and that my dad is Navy.

Today, I am determined to start laying some money away for this wish list I made. I have been dying to get some navy pants. I am particularly fond of the ones at J. Crew. There is a J. Crew store at the local mall, so I think I shall reward myself immensely if I get stunning grades for this semester. I would like to add some J. Crew to my closet. ;)

Since I have been reading Design Darling, I have started browsing the sites she links on her page. Anyway, I have started a love for Tuckernuck. It is such a splendid store because it has a lot of nautical inspired jewelry, bags and etcetera.

Also, Up Country is a stunning dog/cat collar store. I was able to tour it when I was in my 4-H group in Rhode Island at the time. One of my 4-H pal's mom actually works there. The collars there are just adorable because they are each designed with a stunning ribbon. I truly love the Anchors Away and would love for MudLynn to wear one. One day…Another thing that I admire about Up Country is that when a pet gets adopted from the Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RISPCA), Up Country gives them a free collar and leash of their choice. I truly admire Up Country's partnership with the RISPCA.

Toodles!

Book Idea?

I've decided to write a book everyone. I've decided to write a book on how it was like for me to grow as a military child. I feel as though people outside the military don't know or realize how much of a duty and honor it is to be a daughter/son of a parent who is in the military. Since it is May 2nd, I have concluded to give myself 1 year in order to have a rough copy version. I'd like this book to be in the teen section or military section in the bookstore. I have also already come up with an idea for my book cover, but that's secret. :)

Stay Tuned!

Mall Haul

As you know from my previous post that I went shopping at the mall for an event. Talk about pure heaven to a girl, right? Who else loves to shop?

Now, the clothes are mainly black, but I love black clothes because they are chic, classy and slimming.

 I went to Forever 21 first since the other department stores didn't have a Little Black Dress that I liked. I found this black fit and flare dress which I found absolutely adorable. I loved how it came with a belt because it looks so chic when belted. I am actually wearing this for the function I am going to tonight. I am pairing it with a nice set of earrings and a pair of nude pumps.

 Next, I found this black floral dress. I love florals, they are perfect for springtime. Another thing I love about this dress is the Peter Pan collar.  I've started an obsession with Peter Pan collars since I saw Eleanor Calder (1D's Louis Tomlinson's girlfriend) where some of the cutest tops and dresses with Peter Pan collars. I'd pair this dress with a pair of white converse, black flats, or sparkly thong sandals.

Next I found this cream colored sweater. I fell in love with this sweater when I first saw it on the rack. It reminds me of something Kate Middleton would wear. It's very soft too! I got this sweater and the second one for next fall since I will be in Washington fall and I've heard it rains a bit so I might as well have some nice sweaters. For me, I paired this with a pair of shorts from Pacsun and a pair of TOMs.

MudLynn, my baby!

Lastly, there is this black and white polka dot sweater. I think I have found a new love for polka dots! ;) This sweater is so comfy, I am actually wearing it right now as I type this. It's not as soft as the other sweater, but it is soft.

I then bought a lovely set of earrings! These earrings are knot styled which is really chic and cute. I am going to be wearing the black and gold ones tonight!

J'aime Paris!

Lastly, I went to Dillards for some Lancome since I heard they were doing a free gift offer.

I love this set that I got with my purchase of the Dual Finish powder. It came with a dark spot corrector, mascara set, night cream, makeup remover (not pictured), and a lip stick. It was supposed to come with an eyeshadow but they were all out. I didn't mind though, I have a whole lot of eyeshadow from my ipsy bags and from my birthday. 

The lip shade is perfect because it is almost the shade of my lips, so it's not too dark or too light for my skin tone. I am wearing this lipstick tonight. The Dual Finish is very nice as well. It is so light I hardly know I am wearing it. Since I don't wear liquid foundation and the powder, I thought that this would be perfect for me. I asked the beautician about it and she said I could wear it every day, liquid or powder. 

Please comment your blog if you've had a recent haul, I would love to see what you bought.
