default summer outfit.

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

Back in spring, I posted my default spring outfit. Now that it’s summer, this is the outfit I’ve been re-wearing, declaring it as my default summer outfit. I wore this outfit to hang out with my friends in this post.

It’s so comfortable!
Not much to say today, I’m working a closing shift tonight so after I post this it’ll be time for me to get ready.

Before I do go though, here is the interview I did for fashionquestions.com. It was my first blog interview so definitely check it out! Thank you Alissa for giving me the opportunity to contribute :)

nail polishes!

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

These nail polishes were $1 each at the farmer’s market in Redlands. A good deal, if I do say so myself. I got them last Thursday and I’m so excited about them. So excited, in fact, that I actually had a dream someone was trying to steal my new nail polish collection from me. This is no lie. All in all I have a total of about 10 nail polish colors. But I want more, of course! It’s an addiction. It’s more of a new addiction for me, my sisters got me into it. I’m a huge fan of OPI nail polish and have 4 of my own (two of them donated to me from Jax. Thanks Jax!) but I’m not so much a fan of the price. But at least I know where to go when I want super affordable (and good quality from what I can tell so far) nail polishes!

I’ve done a test run on all the colors but I still currently have the baby blue on. No chipping so far! that baby blue, the lavender and the teal color all go on really nicely and don’t need a second or third coat. The peach however, goes on a little sheer and will probably need more coats.

Anyway things have been pretty good! Jacky and BJ came for a visit for a few days and we enjoyed having them around again. They’ll be back in August for two days and then flying back to Australia. Bj’s parents also came and visited and we all had a wonderful dinner party. It was really nice to meet his family! I’ve heard so many good things about them and they are all definitely true. I took lots of pictures from this past week with them here so I’ll be posting them by the end of the week.

Jimmy and I are still patiently waiting for a phone call from his recruiter for a date to leave for basic training. We were told to anticipate him leaving in August so it could be any time now. So anxious to hear back! He’s officially sworn in though, so it’s only a matter of when now, which is such a relief. Jimmy has been wanting this for so long and I’m so proud of him! I’ll be posting updates on that as we hear more.

I just finished answering questions for my first blog interview! I really enjoyed it and although the questions are answered and ready, I won’t post it until it’s posted on her blog so keep an eye out for that! :)

I will leave you all with my new favorite and most recent picture of Jimmy and I. We took my best friend Taryne to Disneyland for her birthday!

Until next time!

date night!

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

i love me some quality alone time with my husband. here are pictures of us being silly on one of our dates. we went to starbucks for a little, then were off to see prince of persia. we were singing and dancing loudly in the car on the way and were feeling pretty hyper and acting like kids. we have so much fun together :)

so jimmy makes faces and i have names for them. this is his “no chin” face, a new one he came up with.

this is his creepy stalker face. he puts his head down and moves his eyes around while breathing heavily. SUPER creepy and weird, but it never fails to crack me up.

the extreme heat over here has prevented me from taking any new outfit photos. perhaps i’ll try to brave it and get some shots this week but we’ll see. i’m kind of a wuss!

summertime part II.

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Here are the rest of the photos from the picnic I went on with Krystal and Taryne.

Gosh, I love these girls. Just looking at these pictures made me have the urge to pick up our picnic basket right now, fill it with snacks, set a blanket down on the grass and drag Jimmy outside with me! Although I should probably wait until tomorrow, when the sun is out again. And when Jimmy isn’t in bed with the sniffles.

Hope you all are having a great week!
