'Merica


I don't know about y'all, but I have favorite holidays. Like, I have a list and I stick to my priorities. Obviously, Christmas is like my religion, and I love any and all things that pertain to it. Like I'm talking music blaring, injecting peppermint into my soul, wearing crazy sweaters and singing carols at the top of my lungs. Now, Christmas is in a couple of months and my second favorite holiday is upon us. THE BIRTHDAY OF OUR GREAT NATION. I worship anything 'Merica and happen to own many things that are red, white and blue because I am damn proud to be an American. I love all the sparklers, bbqs, and everything that revolves around the holiday that, to me, makes the whole summer. The outfit that i have above would be perfect for a great party with family, or dinner followed by the watching of majestic fireworks because it is comfy, easy and extremely cute/preppy. I found this dress in the havoc that was the Lilly Pulitzer for Target, and felt this was the perfect occasion to pull it out. Although I will be home for the 4th, which means I will be cute but comfy and that means workout pants, I can't wait to burn 100 sparklers, watch my brother and dad shoot off crazy fireworks in the backyard, and toast to the great nation that gives me freedom to be an independent, educated woman. I hope y'all have a wonderful, patriotic and safe independence day!!!

Sandy Living: My Bedroom


 Hey there chickadees! Im sorry for my absence last week, but I had a really long week of work and doing all kinds of errands. I also had the joy of receiving my first eye infection (which i thought was a stye for like 4 days, until my eye began to swell!) meaning yo girl couldn't wear makeup for about 5 days and got the joy of looking like she was crying all day long, and having half-eyed blurry vision. Along with that, it has been hotter than a hurricane happening in a humid forest, so I literally haven't worn makeup or worn real clothes in like a week. I haven't had to opportunity to shoot some outfits, so I do apologize for the lack of outfits, but I promise that i will have some for you soon! Boy, that was a giant mess of word vomit!!

Now onto more exciting things! I did an apartment post about a year ago when my sister and I initially moved into our other apartment, but as some of you know from mine and my mommas posts on Facebook, we moved apartments after a less tun pleasant landlord experience in our first apartment. We currently live in an amazing, safe and secure apartment building and love where we are. So with that said, here are some of the pics from my room! Sal and I got so lucky finding a place where have separate bathrooms (a god-send!) so I got to hang all the stuff I love and what makes me happy in my bathroom, as well as customize my bedroom. I see my bedroom style as european colorful, with an emphasis on French accents. When coordinating my room, we started with the carpet in the picture above, which we have had in our family since we lived in Germany before Hawaii, which my momma got at the wonderful Ikea. From there we accented with knock knacks around my room, big plush euro pillows that my momma passed down to me, and wonderful art we found at our local Ross and TJ Maxx. I got so lucky when my momma and sister helped to coordinate my room because they are interior decorator extrordinaires. I hope y'all love the peak into my room, and lookout for my next post about my closet makeover!!
