Pinteresting Tuesday: Spring Fashion.

So I didn't get around to posting some house pictures.

Are you even surprised?

Didn't think so.

I'll get to it soon though I promise!

Since today is Pinteresting Tuesday I think it is the perfect day to show some Spring/Summer fashion statements I am completely obsessed with right now. 

Maxi Dresses:

I have a serious addiction to maxi dresses right now. 

I literally think I could wear one every single day.

Only, I need to own one to do that.

hmm... I need to fix that.

Fringe Bathing Suits:

I will need one of these for summer.

But I can only get one if I get into the shape I want to be in!

Bribery you call it? Heck yes it is!

Bright Prints:

I love these bright colors! 

What better time to rock prints than summer?

Note: I also really really really want the dress on the left.

Shoes:

I love sandals right now!

I also love wedges... But I can't pull those off quite so well.

Hair:

Loving beachy hair and as always hair scarfs!

Humor:

This has absolutely nothing with summer or fashion... but it's Pinteresting Tuesday and you need a good laugh, don't we all?

Oh man guys I am so excited for summer! 

How about you?

What are you fashion obsessions for spring/summer?

Live Beautifully,

Beauty Tips.

Beauty tips; brought to you by a girl who could use some beauty in her life! 

I've lately been coming across some crazy awesome beauty tips that I feel like I should share!

(Also, I feel like I should try them. Maybe if I tell you I will, I actually will?)

One:

Teeth Whitening.

I think I shared this before, but I hadn't tried it yet.

I have been using this trick for the last 3 weeks, and I think it's working!

But my wise roommate did warn me not to let my teeth get too white, or it will take away from your eyes! Such a smart lady I live with!

I will keep you updated!

Two:

Skin treatments!

This site was a jackpot! 

I haven't tried any of these yet, but I really want to try the skim powered milk face wash!

Also, I really would like to try the moisturizing your skin with honey and olive oil.

{I have also read that 2 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tsp of honey makes for great hair treatment!}

Three:

Nail Polish.

If you have an eye shadow that breaks and is essentially useless, mix it with clear nail polish and voila, you have a new nail polish color!

Four:

Hair Treatment.

Rub coconut milk into your hair, leave it for an hour or so, then rinse it out. 

It is supposed to help your hair grow long!

Five:

Nude Lips.

I am very into nude lip color, and they say MAC Frou is the color that looks good on anyone. 

Check it out!

Six:

Perfect the red lip.

I don't know about you, but I love red lip stick.

{Matt thinks I'm crazy}

This is apparently the way to make it look good!

Seven:

A New Braid!

I'm kind of a braid fanatic.

This, will be attempted ASAP. 

I hope it works.

I will let you know!

Eight:

The final and most important beauty secret is to be confident! No matter what your make up looks like, no matter how pretty your hair, if you don't feel beautiful, it will show.

Know you are beautiful! 

And rock it!

I Love you Beauties.

Pinteresting Tuesday!

Sorry about the bleak blogging.

It's been crazy getting all settled in here at school and I'm having a hard time finding time to update!

You know I can't miss Pinteresting Tuesday though right? 

One:

So today was so nice out that I am just about ready for summer... Which means I need to do this. Just looks like yarn and string... I'll keep you updated.

Two:

How to get seeds of a pomegranate out without staining everything and popping them! (The Pinterest title wasn't quite so long... but that's mine) Go here and find out how! 

Three:

I've kind of been wanting some colored jeans... What do you think of these? Or maybe another color? Thoughts?

Four:

I kind of hate heights. (In case you've never heard that). But this is so sweet and romantic and I just want it to be summer so we can do this!

Five:

1) I kind of am in love with the "Sexy and I Know It Song" by LMFAO. I think it's hilarious. 2) This dog is adorable, which makes want him. 3) The dog + the song= hilarious and adorable.

Happy Tuesday!

I'll try to keep up better this week.

Lots of Love,

Christmas or Pinterests?

Forgive me friends, I have been stuck with no internet for the past week!

Also, I've of course been extremely busy!

How was your Christmas?

Mine was wonderful. 

Christmas Eve we went to our family friend's for our traditional Christmas Eve dinner there!

Christmas Day I worked in the morning with my best friend.

This is what we wore. 

We were Christmas elfs.

You should have seen it. 

Mimi actually made the shoes and hats!

And we both made the tutu's.

Later that day I went over to Matt's and we went to their family friend's traditional dinner.

{needless to say, I did not starve this past weekend.}

I got all kinds of wonderful gifts. 

I was definitely spoiled.

I just cannot wait until next Christmas!

{Our first being married <3}

How about you? 

Best Christmas ever?

Now onto the real post...

You know what today is.

What was Pinteresting to you this week?

One:

This is made out of string. I had to pin it because my friend actually made me something like this for Christmas! I tell you people I am a SUCKER for homemade gifts. She made the state of Washington with a  heart where my home town is so I won't miss it while I am in Virginia. I love it so much.

Two:

I am dying to make this for my bed stand when we get married! It is a sewed piece that looks like notebook paper and then you can writ notes on the glass every morning to your love. 

Three:

If you are wondering how to wear a scarf, this is my favorite. So simple, yet vintage cute at the same time!

Four:

Warning: this is a little scandalous. It is a pole dancing competition. If you ask me, though it is classy and actually really incredible. I think it would kind of be awesome to take a class pole dancing or something fun like that! To change up your work out and get in touch with your sexy side ;] Girls only though.

Five:

This is hysterical to me. Matt and I have been using this kid's face for everything. Every time we find something out that we think is awesome or when we wanna over exaggerate how great something is... this is the face we use.

Promise to keep up to date now that I have internet!

If you have a blog and think I should see it, let me know!

New Year here we come,

It's Pinteresting Tuesday!

9 more days.

4 more finals.

1 more day of classes.

The end of the semester is in sight!

You know what today is...

(or maybe you don't read my blog every week...)

...actually, you probably don't.

So maybe you don't know what today is...

That's okay though... Cause you know I'm going to tell you.

Are you ready?

Sit down, it's pretty exciting...

Okay okay fine.. I'll just tell you.

It's Pinteresting Tuesday!

{did I talk it up more than I should have..?}

Oh well! Happy Tuesday loves.

One:

I think everyone has nerdy tendencies. Mine come out (...more than normal... because they come out a lot.) when I see, or am doing crafts. Sometimes I wish people liked nerdy things as much as I do, so I could a) make adorable necklaces like this for them, and b) so they would make them for me. Mark my words, I will make this and if you are the lucky one to get it... you better be thankful! 

Two:

Apparently today is my nerdy day. I am the kind of person who would think this is really cool. And I do. Only now I can't make one.. because I just showed all of you... and it would be pointless because it's no longer a secret. Me and my big mouth.

Three:

Hey, why slow down on the nerdiness right now? Yes, I think these are awesome. I want kids just so I can make these right now. (Which is why I don't need kids right now.. because that's not a good enough reason.)

Four:

Have I told you that I'm obsessed with all things "husband and wife?"

Five:

Recently found on Pinterest that coconut milk helps hair grow long! I am dying for my hair to grow by the wedding day! I just may have to try this. I'll let you know how research goes!

Six:

I love this so much.

Seven:

I'm sorry, I'm sorry I just had to. I'm really not into swearing, but come on! This is hilarious. I do not know anything funnier than watching someone fall... and this caught it mid face-plant. Priceless.

How is the week treating you?

Question: Do you have any hair growth secrets you know about?!

Question: When do your secret nerdy tendencies come out?

With Love,

Fashion Emergency?

Currently, all I want to do is go shopping.

On my list: new outfits for engagement photos!

I am so not a fashion girl though... and I have a hard time making outfits without someone's help... so maybe you guys could help?

For me:

I really like this... but where on earth do you get a skirt like this? And is this too casual for engagement photos?

I love this outfit! Matt and I want to take pictures in Seattle too when we get home! I think this is such a great cold weather outfit! 

Love these jeans... but I think I'd want to wear heels instead of flats.

I am also kind of in love with this look.. Now I need an outfit to go with it. (Oh and the boots..)

I don't know if you have noticed the pink blazer fad going around... But all I know is I wan't in. 

Maybe do this for my hair? My thoughts on this... It's easier to look good on both sides with your bangs back (for me anyway). Also, I wear my hair in braids a lot... so it would be a good representation of me and what I actually look like. Thoughts?

For my man:

Classy. And amazing. And looks extremely expensive! But totally worth it. 

Matt really likes this one. It is definitely him and yes, he can pull off anything, but he could especially pull this one off. I love the v-necks and especially the button up one underneath! We need to find this outfit.

So like I said I can't make up my mind. And I am no good at fashion. Someone needs to come to my rescue and be my personal shopper. Any takers? 

Question: What would you wear for your engagement pictures?

Help me,
