Everlasting Love

You know what I love? Couples that have been together for what seems like forever and are still madly in love with each other. I am so glad those couples still exist.

Today, I am spending my night babysitting my co workers kids while her and her husband enjoy some time to themselves. They have been married for over 11 years and the way they look at one another, the way they talk to not only each other but their kids, it only gives me hope that love and forever do go hand in hand. They are a real life fairy tale. Not to mention they raised awesome kids! All they wanted to do tonight was build a fort, watch Frozen and Tangled and call it a night, I mean how much easier can it get?

Enough rambling on my part, today's outfit was just so perfect for this topic I just couldn't help it. Something about pink and flowers just makes me think of love and romance.

Confessions of a shopaholic

The look on my boyfriend's face when I try and explain to him how irritating it is when you order 2 bathing suits online and they don't fit right... bless his heart. I don't know what was more hilarious, the fact that he just didn't understand the struggle of it or the fact that he was in shock I needed more bathing suits when I live in WA, a state where its more common to see rain than sunshine. He ended the conversation by telling me I'm a shopaholic and I need shopping anonymous. Which is slightly true... but in my defense, I'm a bargain shopper so my shopping sprees never exceed $75. That's fair right?

That was besides the point, but it did inspire this blog post for me. Today is all about my shopping confessions.

1. I shop when I'm upset. Just like when people go to the gym or eat ice cream I turn to shopping.

2. I love a good bargain. I pride myself on finding versatile pieces that look expensive or extravagant for a deal.

3. I shop because I am constantly inspired by the smallest details i.e. the sky, the color of some one's nail polish, a TV show for the 90's, magazines, etc

4. I like the idea of options, if a certain piece doesn't work here it will work there.

5. I only shop after all my bills have been paid and there's money left over. I could be better at saving, but hey what's the point of working hard if I can't spend it? :)

A Little Pep in My Step

And Washington has finally hit the 60's!! Well at least for today and I couldn't have been happier. It's the little things that count and right now, the weather hitting 60 degrees is making my heart bounce out of its cage. 

A lot of changes are coming for me in the next 6 months, including moving out of my gorgeous place with my best friend and into my boyfriends apartment, which was such a huge decision for us both! It means I will have to down grade a lot of things, including my beloved closet and shoe collection... But I am beyond excited! I will miss this place but luckily I will be right down the street and will be bugging them weekly! :)

My current obsession for this summer are shift dresses: basic, simple and easy to put on when you are in a rush. I'm pretty sure I will be living in these this summer. I love the versatily of them, you can keep it casual or play it up. Either way, this is definitely a must have for me. 

Outfit Details: Dress: Urban OG (similar)  || Shoes: Forever 21 (similar here) || Jewelry: Forever 21 || Necklace: Kardashian line at Sears
