The elusive birthday dress has finally been located!

Not much to say right now, been in somewhat of a blue funk lately.

(Stupid gray weather)

I hope you are having a wonderful week! I finally picked out the outfit for my birthday party...although it is not really what I was looking for, it is cute and it will work.

And it makes me dream of  SUMMER!

Pairing it with these....yummy, pink!

Now I need to pick accessories and how I will do my hair-any ideas?! 

I am pretty pumped.

Trust me, pics will be posted!!

Also, I am looking for a good quality camera for a decent price that takes great pictures, seems like my taste in cameras is quite expensive and out of my price range every time! I see great pics and inquire about the kind of camera used and they are always ones that cost $1,000-$2,000 and I just can't spend that much on a camera right now! If any of you reading this have suggestions, please enlighten me!

Have a great Wednesday lovelies!

Another year older :)

I don't know about you, but I have definitely taken notice of how different it is to have a birthday being an adult as opposed to when I was young! I don't even mean it in a bad way...it's just, different. Birthdays when I was young meant looking forward to my family and friends coming to my house and being so excited to see what gifts I would get, or looking forward to being in the DOUBLE digits!!! I still look forward to my birthdays, and still look forward to having some cake (although I may have to make one myself, haha) and even get to have a party with friends this year, but birthdays for me are now a time of reflection as well. Remembering my most memorable birthday, thinking how years ago the age 24 sounded forever and ever away, looking back on all that has changed through the years! This year, the craziest thing to me thus far in my life is that I never dreamed I would be hearing "Happy Birthday Mommy" from my own little girl upon turning 24. I love the added joy she and my love bring to my birthday, I couldn't ask for anything better!

I really have nothing else to say today, except that my heart is brimming with happiness. This past year was one of the most tumultous of my life, with some of the worst times and some of the best. But I am happy to say my heart is at peace and so is my spirit.

Switching topics...I have been looking a lot at spring fashion...and I am LOOOVING what I am seeing to say the least!!! I am still on the prowl for a birthday dress, my taste just isn't conventional :) But a brand I love... Free People, posted a blog today about their New Romantics line they are launching and it is going to be suuuuuper!!! I will link the vid here, it is such a happy little video :) The description of that line and I quote- "New Romantics grew from the love of the ocean. The beach dream and the summer feeling. The muse is a romantic...drenched in the sea, salt, and sand. The collection is made up of dreamy fabrics- slubby textures, light crochet, and intricate wovens mixed in with uber sheerness- delicate and whimsical." I am in love already! I feel like I am coming alive with spring right around the corner :D



Other things I adore.....(not from the NR line, just in general)

Winter, PLEASE pack your bags.

It has been too long since my last post and I am blaming some of it on winter dragging on, completely zapping my motivation! We had a nice thaw a couple of weeks ago with some 50 degrees and warmer days and all it did was get my hopes up for nothing. I am not a fan of winter at all, I would be happy if December was the only month we had winter weather because I cannot imagine a Christmas without it. I would be moving west or south right this minute if I had family there. I know I should quit complaining because there ARE much worse things going on in this world that I am blessed not to have to face, but this weather is my biggest complaint right now!

SO, my life as of lately has been rather uneventful. My love had his birthday on February 24th and we went out for dinner at Texas Roadhouse to celebrate with our little pumpkin in tow and it was a delicious time! I am sure if you have eaten there, you know how loud that restaurant can be at times, and so we were so grateful to be seated in a section with one other family with a baby. We were able to have nice conversation until an entire track team came in and was seated all around us, taking up about six long booths. LOL, Oh well, it was a good time anyway, and we had tons of leftovers. :)

Today was a laid back Monday here at home with Isabelle fighting what seems to be a flu bug. Hoping she returns to her healthy self ASAP! She was no less of a little fireball today though, so I think that means it won't last long. :)

My birthday is coming up on Wednesday of this week and I am actually getting excited. I am going to go get a full body massage either this week or next. I can't wait, I have been feeling a little off lately, maybe that will help me clear my head and just relax for an hour with no distractions. I also have a birthday party coming up in a couple of weeks with my best friend who has a birthday on the 14th and so we have some planning to do, seems like just yesterday it was New Years and we came up with the idea. Time really flies!

I have really been in chill mode lately with my music. I just found a new band I am completely in love with- Rumspringa. They are from CA though, of course and all their shows are in that area. Can't seem to find any bands locally that really intrigue me. Around here the music scene suffers from an over abundance of screamo/emo "who can come up with the dumbest name and wear the weirdest clothes" bands and nothing too original, all in my own opinion! I love 60's, 70's rock, reggae rock and anything with a vintage sound lately...I definitely have the oddest musical taste out of all my friends. I would love to find a friend who shares my kind of taste in music and who could share new music with me too. Too many people go with whatever they hear on the radio and there is sooo much more out there. I could spend hours just looking up new music! I add new songs and bands to my mp3 player weekly- if not daily. I can't go a day without my music. :)

Well, me and my case of the Monday blah's are going to close this with a pic of a dress I loveeee, thinking of wearing it for my birthday, anyone dig it?
