NEW YORK? THIS WEEKS OUTFITS? WAAA?!

Okay. So, I was going to post what I wore this week. But unfortunantly I am not capable of taking a single full body shot, or a decent photo of any outfit.

We shall see where this goes.







Love this top. You obviously can't see the whole outfit but everything is in stores now!

 Top: hollisterco.com Earrings: Brandy Melville

LOVE this tank. it is a galaxy. From Urban Outfitters... But this photo is not about the top, clothing, and pinkyness of my lips. It is that I am in the place of death.. DENNYS
Me and my only child. Coach Riley. I thought the accessories made this photo appropriate. However, I am probably wrong. But YAY big flowers on the side of your head! Love spring and love this lazy hair look. I got my earrings and headband from forever21.





AND this photo is from a couple years ago. It is of my lovely man-candy, Ryan, munchin' down on some New Jouzey style Taylor Ham Egg & Cheese On A Hard Roll...
I love so many things about New Jersey! I love that New Jersey and the TriState area have these sandwiches exclusively (basically) and also that they are so freaking good. They can turn a breakfast hater into an early-bird nibbler. Everyone goes nuts over these things, notice the hungry rascal pictured above? But, besides the sandwiches, there are a few other things I love about New Jersey: The Accent and the closeness to The Big Apple.
New York City... That is a whole other post itself... Ahhhh.








 Well, this really didn't turn out as expected, but they... That's why its my blog! So I can ramble without simultaneously becoming annoyed by a certain someones selective hearing and oddly accurate placing of "yeah babe" and "uh huh"

Haha.

How To Make My Favorite Drink!

21+


Everyone has their favorite drink. Well, in each category of course: favorite wine, beer, mixed drink, dessert drink, vodka, gin, rum, etc... Okay. Everyone has about 20 favorite drinks. BUT- the one drink that I would choose above all?! LONG ISLAND ICED TEA. Oh My God. But, they bring trouble most of the time... Take Cinco De Mayo 2013.

Here I am, just enjoying my Long Island Iced Teas (notice the two already empty)...Everything was going great-- until they kicked in full throttle and ready to go.


Two hours later I was ready to party. The look on my face basically explains it all.
(My dress is from Forever21. Shoes are from Maurices. Earrings are from Brandy Melville)

This whole post is about how to make these delicious drinks.

Decorating 70 Miles Away

I have done it! I have made the leap and signed a lease 70 miles away from home. Anxiety overload. Packing, moving back into my parents to save money, repacking a moving truck, moving into a new home, starting a new job, and also, transferring to a new college. Sounds hectic, however, there is some fun that hasn't been mentioned yet: DECORATING. Here are some ideas I have for my apartment. Keep in mind, it is a one bedroom small place near downtown Columbus, OH. 

 
 Kitchen:


  Curtains from urbanoutfitters.com $39.00

Kitchen cart from target.com $249.00



Bar Stools from walmart.com $99.00

Chair Cushions from overstock.com $44.99 -- I love how this color/pattern plays off the strawberries in the curtains!

And finally, a small litter house to hide my cats litter box since my apartment is soo small-- walmart.com $109.99



I love this look for the kitchen and I am so excited to finally put all this together and decorate my new place! My old apartment was very dark so this is a great opposite to try!
