Pink Azaleas

You probably know about my obsession with Bee from Atlantic-Pacific by now. Check out my latest Polyvore creation featuring one of my pictures here. I used the colour as inspiration for the outfit and accessories!

Pantone "Deep Teal"

Pantone has long since been the voice for the "it" colours of the season (click here for the Fall 2011 colours). Based on the colour deep teal I created a set on Polyvore. Give my profile a check out and be sure to say hi! I do hope you enjoy your weekend! xo

Sleeping Beauty

 I need complete darkness when I sleep, and that's hard to get when I'm home with my parents for the summer. There is a giant street light that glares directly into my bedroom, seeping in through my blinds. So imagine my joy when I re-discovered a sleep mask I purchased at our local department store. 

Oh yes, I am Miss Sweet Dreams...

It's just too bad I don't look like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's when I sleep... how does she manage to look so glamorous?

What I'm Wearing

My camera sucks. I need to get one that takes better pictures! Lately I've been loving stacks of bracelets, and I bought a few are pictured below. In the first two pics I'm donning the new Sally Hansen Crackle nail polish. Awesome, isn't it? 

Ahh yes, here are the pics of my outfit. Black shorts rolled up, a floral print tank top, a loose denim tunic, a nude wedge heel, leopard print bag and a plethora of accessories. I took a cue for my bun from Bee. She's such a doll, isn't she?

Looking at these pics makes me realize I have a pretty sweet tan going on... don't feel bad if you are still pasty, my tan will fade in 3.5 seconds once school starts. *sob!

In Bloom

Some random pictures of the seasonal blooms in my backyard ... this is why I love gardening!

I made this assorted pot for my sister's front porch.

Vibrant coleus

 

I love summer for the vibrant colours and the beauty of every single flower. In fact, I have a great idea for a post later this week- but you'll just have to wait and see! :) Have you done any gardening lately? Find any random/beautiful flowers? Do share!

Obsessed with Polyvore and Pinterest lately... find me here on Polyvore and here on Pinterest! It's worth it- (slightly addicting), I promise.

returning home

I suppose y'all think I fell off the face of the earth. I apologize eternally for essentially disappearing this summer. Not only was I extremely busy working, tutoring and just enjoying my break, I also lacked motivation in the creativity/inspiration department. Lately, however, I've been overflowing with inspiration and thoughts, so naturally I had to come here- that's the reason why I created this blog in the first place. Sometimes, it felt like more of a chore than a joy, and that's totally not what I wanted from my creative little outlet here. Nonetheless, I intend to do at least a weekly post for the remainder of the summer, and then once school begins in September I will be back in full force! What about you- do you ever get uninspired and lack motivation for blogging? Or am I the only one?
