What I snagged from my Nana!

Hey there Spanish Galleons! So before I left for school, I went to visit my Nana and Papa. We were looking in the basement for stuff I could use in the apartment (snagged a vanity mirror!) and we stumbled upon a closet full of clothes. Which all three of us (my sisters and I ) were excited about! The first thing that caught my eye the second my sister Jen opened the closet: This striped shirt. Immediately, I called dibs. They were not happy about that because... well... It was the best shirt out of the bunch! 

Here's an outfit I put together with this. I just had a simple silver bangle on my wrist, sleeves rolled, black leggings and some small, silver dove/heart earrings. P.S. Look how messy my room was! :o

 Second thing I snagged was this sheer pink short sleeved button up. Another great one! (And another thing they weren't happy about me having).

I wore this shirt with short jean shorts, and matching light blue and yellow earrings and bracelet. (the bracelet is actually a necklace that I just wrapped around my wrist). 

Moral of the story is you find great clothes in the strangest places! These are probably my two favorite things in my closet at the moment and they were my Nana's! So go home and raid your grandmothers' closets! Or any old person... well don't rob them but you get what I'm saying. Okay, bye bye for now!

Where have I been?!

Well it has been a while since I've been on here! That's pretty bad. I've just been really busy. I know, that's everyone's excuse but I'm serious! I'll give you a little bit of a recap of what has been going on since my last post.

Well first of all, the day after my last post, I went to North Dakota with my boyfriend, Chris. Which was a lot of fun! Especially cause I don't travel. I like to, but I can't. No dinero (that means $$$) if you get what I'm saying. So it was nice to take a trip somewhere. We took the train... it took us like 16 hours to get there. Holy crap, right?! But it was a lot of fun.

After that I just worked a TON! Gotta make that money to pay my rent and the millions of dollars I'll have to pay back in student loans!

Don't I just look fantastic in my uniform??? ;)

Then in July my cousins came in and we were doing a bunch of stuff that whole week; went to the Sox game, celebrated the 4th (it's my sister's birthday that day) and went shopping downtown. Fun as always! They only come twice a year so we do a lot of stuff while they're here.

At the White Sox game! Being so typically goofy.

Then a few of my friends and I went up to Michigan to my friends lake house for the weekend, went on their boat and partied!

Ready to jump in the cold water with my best friend Val! :)

Then for a few days I was lucky enough to go to Georgia with Chris and his parents to visit his grandparents! So much fun. I got to go tubing and jet skiing for the first time! And that was a state I've never been to and my third time on a plane! Their house was gorgeous. Like you don't even know. Well I guess you will in a second 'cause I'm gonna put a picture up!

BAM! How do you like them apples?! They're unfortunately selling the house and moving elsewhere. I told Chris we need to buy this house. I don't think he knows I was being serious...

But the whole trip was amazing. Driving a boat is like a mode of transportation down there which I thought was so awesome. Who doesn't wanna drive a boat to dinner? If you said you don't, then you're crazy.

Me and Chris on the jet ski! I didn't drive. I was way too nervous.

Then we took a mini vacation as a family to Michigan for the day and went to the beach and walked around in all the little shops there.

And last but not least, THE COLDPLAY CONCERT! Literally, so awesome. We got these wristbands that light up with the music and it looked super awesome. Take a look!

Crazy right?! That was one of the coolest experiences of my life. As some of you already know, concerts are like my favorite thing in the world to do. This is definitely top 2 (if not #1. Paramore is very hard to compete with)

Also I did my nails pretty cool for the concert, so if you guys want a tutorial of this let me know! Here's what they looked like!

My hand looks like the claw from Liar Lair in this picture. NO ONE CAN STOP THE CLAW!!!

Alrighty! I've rambled enough! But last thing. I'm in my apartment now and everything is great! I'm two weeks into school and loving my classes (I'm taking photography and apparel design at the same time!) But that's all for now. Stay tuned for tomorrow when I upload some outfits of stuff I scored from my Nana's closet! Bye Bye Bye!
