Good morning! I thought I would begin the week with a little post about breakfast. Breakfast is my favorite way to begin the day (besides my morning run). I always have to have something to eat around 10:00 am in the morning otherwise I just don't function well :/. One of my favorite things to have for breakfast is eggs. They fill me up for such a long time, and I think they taste amazing! (especially with avocado) Seriously a match made in heaven *definite hearts in eyes*. So when I was watching Kallie Kaiser's get ready with me video and saw that she had a recipe involving eggs and avocado, I had to try it! It is a great alternative to eating toast with eggs, which is what I normally do. So instead of the toast, you lay down a bed of spinach on the plate. Then cut up most of one half of an avocado (enough to cover the bed of spinach). I like my eggs over-easy, so they cook really fast. It's super hard to not break the yolk when flipping the egg over though, but today I managed to not break the yolk! :). I was super proud of myself guys haha. So when the egg is done you just place it on top of the avocado and spinach bed. And then you enjoy! Hugs <3

Blue Nails
Good morning! I am of course rushing to get this post out because I woke up today and realized I didn't have anything for a Sunday post! So I got myself out of bed (a crime I know haha) and took some pictures of my nails. I have been obsessing over the pastel blue nail trend! And usually I'm very anti-blue nail polish, so this is weird for me. I think they are so perfect for summer. The cool tones just remind me of a warm, sunny day at a pool or beach. So basically the perfect day in my opinion haha. Let me know what you think about the blue nail polish trend! Cool or naw?? Haha
Have a great Sunday! Hugs <3

50's Inspired Outift
Hey there! So today was amazing because I got out of chemistry lab 2 hours early! This is almost unheard of as I'm usually there until 15 minutes after the class is supposed to end :/. Welcome to chemistry people haha. Today is super gorgeous outside! It actually makes me want to go in to work. Crazy, I know. But for as busy as this summer has been with work and school, I've been really happy with how things have turned out (sorry about that jump in topic, but school, work, and summer got me thinking about this). I have good friends that I have had so many laughs with. I have worked my butt off in chemistry, at my job, and on this blog. I really cannot wait to continue my posts once I get to college. I think I have grown a lot in the past few months. I'm no longer self conscious of taking pictures of myself in front of people haha. I mean I know it's weird, but it's something I really enjoy. I can document what I looked like that day, along with what I did...and then maybe someone will like to read about it when I post it haha. I really haven't got a clue why any of you read my blog because I swear I'm not that cool guys haha. But I'm glad you enjoy what I put up here, because I enjoy blogging. So a big thank you to you all :).
And now for the outfit (because that's probably why you are all here haha). The top is a few years old from Nordstrom. I used to pair it with the bright blue pants, and it was super cute on a younger girl. I'm not so sure I could pull that off now haha. The shorts are Vintage Levi's from Etsy. Super cute and super easy. Although, they are sort of big on me. I really should see if I can get them taken in... The headband is from FreePeople (it's also a few years old). And finally the shoes are my mom's from Keds. These shoes are seriously so old. I swear my mom has probably had these since the 90s haha (or early 2000s at the least).

Also, I am so sorry these pictures have terrible focus. I really hate putting up bad pictures, but I couldn't not show you this outfit. I hope you can get the gist of it anyway. Hugs <3

Emotions in Nude
Hello! Today I actually wasn't going to post anything because I really should be studying, but I got distracted and did my makeup. So of course I couldn't let an opportunity go to waste. I didn't have any outfit to photograph, so I decided to do a bit of a different kind of shoot. Here I focused on the emotions in the face, with a nude background, nude makeup, and no bright clothing. I really enjoyed how this turned out. Let me know what you think about it.
P. S. I am wearing a bandeau in these pictures haha. Hugs <3

Casual Summer Outfit
Hellooo! Today has been a pretty good day so far, except for the fact that I couldn't fall asleep last night so I woke up super tired this morning for class. It was such a struggle keeping my eyes open! And I didn't even have time to go get coffee because I walked around my bedroom like a zombie trying to figure what clothes even were haha. But now I have finally woken up (although coffee would still be an amazing addition to today...maybe I'll get some after work?). Today it is absolutely gorgeous out! The sun is shining, it's soo hot, and I can't wait to get my tan on at work later. One of the best things about my job is that it's outside. I hate being inside during the summer! I feel like it is such a waste of beautiful weather, free time from school work, all the cute summer outfit combinations, having so many laughs with friends!....I'm sorry I could really list so many things I love about summer, but I'm really trying to cut back on the 'I LOVE SUMMER' talk on the blog haha.
Here is a little outfit I threw together because I realized I still hadn't shown you this top I got forever ago (well early summer), and I completely meant to post it. So now you see it :). It's super soft and comfy! And it's not too tight. This is definitely one of the comfiest shirts I own. I can't wait to use it on campus in the fall because cute and comfy is definitely a must when sitting through hour and a half long lectures.
Sunglasses from Ray-Bans, necklace I forget where it's from, t-shirt from American Eagle Outfitters, shorts from Urban Outfitters, shoes from Converse (but these are super old).
Tonight I'm going to the drive in to see a movie with a friend. Maybe I'll take some pictures and show you tomorrow. Hugs <3

Dinner with the Girls
Good morning! So finally, here are the pictures from my dinner night with my sorority sisters :). Seriously though, how gorgeous are they?! We all looked soo nice and pretty all dressed up for the evening. Dinner was so much fun! We had so many laughs, and told some great stories. I'm so excited I get to be living with them all next year! This is not all of my sorority sisters, just most of the girls in my pledge class from the Cleveland area. In total I think there are about 70 girls in my pledge class? But it was definitely nice to see some of the girls who live here locally :). As always when at the Cheesecake Factory, we all got cheesecake for dessert. I got my usual banana cheesecake :). It was soo yummy! I did manage to give myself a stomach ache from eating so much though haha. Oh well. Good food and good friends. What more could a girl ask for?
From left to right you have Alexis, Kenzie, Molly, McKenna, me, Sam, and Marissa.
(Yes I am indeed that short haha)
These pictures were taken with a phone, so I'm sorry the quality isn't the best. But you can at least see something from the evening :).

Brandy Melville Shirt
Good morning and happy Sunday! I know Sunday's are the typical day where we relax in snuggle clothes and watch a few episodes of Gossip Girl on the couch. But today I thought I'd give you a little outfit inspo from earlier this week. I was feeling like trying out a style that I don't normally wear, and it was totally fun! I love trying out new trends. This is one I have definitely fallen in love with. It's definitely a style that is super popular now, but I had never really tried it out. And now I must say I'm hooked. It's super comfy! This shirt is soo soft! But that's how everything from Brandy Melville is :). The shorts aren't super tight or so short that they're riding up my butt (I'm sure you all know what I mean). My hair is out of my face! I hate having my hair in my face! I always end up putting it in a pony tail or braid by the end of the day. And then, comfy tennis shoes in a fun color to top it all off :) Overall, this outfit is totally a win for me.
That awkward moment when your neighbors totally stare at you for taking pictures of yourself....yes that happens, and it's soo uncomfortable haha.
Shirt from Brandy Melville, Shorts from Urban Outfitters, Sunglasses from Ray Ban, Shoes from Target.
Hugs <3
