Aerie

My sister and mom found me nautical underwear at Aerie. So cute! They also got pink with white nautical rope (and two little bows at the top) but I couldn't find them online.
They are boyshort fit:

New Blog!

I really hate selling on ebay. I think Angela said it best here. I have had better luck selling to bloggers/readers. I am copying Angela (if we hadn't met in person she would probably think I am a crazy stalker ;) and starting a new blog with things I am trying to sell from my own closet. All of the prices are negotiable so just email me if you have any questions!

Here is the new blog

Quick weekend recap!

I hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday. Last night K and M slept over. My mom is out of town so we had a girl's night. M made pasta with pesto for dinner-it was delicious! We made use of the new patio furniture and ate outside. The weather has been perfect the last few days! M is starting law school soon and K is moving to Paris so we had a lot to chat about! After dinner we watched John Tucker Must Die. I think this movie is hilarious and totally underrated. Any other fans out there? If you like Dan from Gossip Girl you should check it out- Penn Bad*gley with long hair!

This afternoon is my dad's softball championship. I am very proud that his team has made it this far! M and I will be cheering him on (and hoping he doesn't fall!).

Tomorrow there may be a fun giveaway so get ready ;) I am also hoping I get a couple of more job interviews this week so please keep your fingers crossed for that dream position I want.

Final days on the cruise: Athens and Messina

Athens, Greece:


SO many tourists!






Messina, Italy:


(found my anchors!)

We spent our last day at the beach, just relaxing on lounge chairs enjoying a beautiful view. Perfect way to end an AMAZING trip!

Vegas recap!

Friday night:
Ordered room service for dinner (is there anything better??) then headed to Tryst at the Wynn. I really liked that there is a large outdoor area and a huge waterfall, definitely cools you down after time on the dance floor!
(before we went out):


At Tryst:

(you can sort of see the water fall in the background)



Saturday:
Hit the pool. We spent time either floating on rafts in the pool or relaxing in the cabana.


(watching the Dodger game)

After a full day at the pool we headed to the Wynn to have drinks with my parents and their friends. I love the view from their room!

Next we went to dinner at Stratta.

Don't you love that big bow?


In my FAVORITE Alice + Olivia dress

We checked out Encore then headed back to our room. Sometimes after a night out/day at the pool you just want to have a PJ party with your best friends ;)

Sunday we got up early (yuck) to drive back to LA. Coming back from Vegas is always depressing. Back to the real world now ;)

Mail time!

Monogrammed pink and brown tote from The Letter Tree:


What's inside this pretty paper?


Anchor note cards from Angela:


Thank you Sherry and Angela!

Want to receive mail from me? It's never too late to sign up for my Snail Mail listHERE

Checking in!

I am back from Vegas. Always depressing to come back to the real world ;) I will do a full recap later this week. I have some great posts scheduled for this week (including the final two cruise days). There is another Kate Spade sale on One Kings Lane (tomorrow) so email me if you want an invite! (Apparently there is NOT a Kate Spade sale anymore :(

Last night I went to dinner at Villa Blanca in Beverly Hills. The restaurant is GORGEOUS!




Lastly, I had a job interview today and it is seriously my dream job! Please say a prayer that I get the job (or just keep your fingers crossed if you aren't religious!). The job hunt is so exhausting!

Can you guess where I am this weekend??

Wearing my FAVORITE Pink Pony sweatshirt that someone STOLE off my bag at Dulles airport. I am still mad!


(hint: that blue sky is FAKE!)

I am 10 posts away from 600 posts! And 20 followers away from 500 followers. You know what that means!

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey!

I know it has taken FOREVER for me to recap my cruise. I hope you have enjoyed seeing my travel photos! Next week I'll finish up with Athens (Greece) and Messina (Italy).

I loved Kusadasi. It is a gorgeous seaside/resort town. I also really enjoyed Ephesus, which is an ancient Greek city just outside of Kusadasi ("It was one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League during the Classical Greek period"-thanks Wikipedia!). One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, Temple of Artemis, is located here (though barely anything is still standing). There is so much history here!

Ephesus:

There is a lot of Christian/Catholic history (check out the Wikipedia if you are interested in reading about the connection to the apostles Paul and John-apparently they walked down this path?)










Kusadasi:



Of course I found my anchor(s):
