Happy Weekend! (+Update!)

Whew. Happy Sunday to you all! And for me officially- Happy summer! It has been such a long and busy year, but an exciting one at least. If you are still in school- good luck, especially if you have upcoming exams. My only advice is to stop reading and start studying! But in all honesty, you will be fabulous and surely pass :)

Friday was a crazy day for me. I turned seventeen! I also went to the Zac Brown Band concert! Talk about a great time! It was so much fun to get to hang out with close friends and listen to their great music! Now I can't stop singing Homegrown! Too good.

In other exciting news- Thursday I will be in London. Eeeeep!! This is going to be my first time being officially out of the country and I cannot wait to put my passport to good use. I will also be going around France and stopping in Paris for the final days. I'm a little nervous for the plane ride (8 full hours- oh god) but know once I'm in Europe I will have the time of my life.

I've been getting some questions about my trip and here's what I have to say. First off I am going through my school and with a pretty good size group, so that means my teacher will be there and its going to be all tourism all the time! Second, my mom is coming with me which makes me really happy and we will sure have fun. The only thing is my mom doesn't know one word of French at all. Beside from bonjour. Which leads to my next point, I have been taking french class through all 3 years at high school and took it for two years in middle school as well as many different years in grade school. So, I fell like I'm pretty prepared for being able to speak and have had all the way up to French 4, but only really being there can we know!

So basically I'm in total preparation for my trip at this point, getting last minute things and packing my bag, and I have barely anytime to sit still, but I do plan on bringing along my camera and doing a huge trip report once I get back (June 8). Look forward for that! I will also not be able to get on social media during my trip so I will be offline starting Thursday! I cannot wait and I can't believe that I'm leaving so soon it feels like yesterday my mom agree to sign up and that was almost a year ago now. Wow! After all of that how about we get to some links I'm loving this weekend!

{Eat}

I literally can not. They are FLAMINGOS.

If only these shorts weren't SOLD OUT! I am obsessed with the pattern!

Oh my god! How cute is this dress?! And it's American Eagle- I always have gift cards to American Eagle!

Love Love Love this Kate Spade wallet! The contrasting colors are life.
Okay. Can you just imagine lounging in the pool water on this?!

{Inspire}

Can I get an AMEN to this.
I will be in London on Thursday. Whaaaaaat?? I better get packing!

How bout what NOT to do in Paris? 

I'm also in search for the best macarons in Paris. Anyone had the best macaron and Paris and mind sharing?

cheers,
Sarah

Happy Weekend!

It's May. Oh my. The last time I posted anything was in February! This break was crazy, but definitely one I needed to take. I've been so busy working on a bunch of different projects and going to school. It's hard to believe I'm going to be a senior in only a few weeks. But, with school coming to a close, that means summer! And summer means a whole lot more time to blog and keep you updated on whats going on. So to kick off more time and more blogging here's what I've been loving these past months!

{Eat}

Orange pancakes yum
These shocked me at first. But I'm really interested in trying to make them.
Long list of salads for the summer! they all look delicious.

Not only is the first day of summer on my birthday, but so is the ZAC BROWN BAND CONCERT! If you need me I'll be singing this on repeat until the May 22 gets here.
I had so much fun designing this amazing girls blog. I love how it turned out!

Sarah

Happy Weekend!

Union Station- how beautiful! Look at that ceiling!

I have had quite the week! I got the chance through my school to spend 2 days in Washington, DC fpr the annual March for Life. DC is my favorite city in America. I love the history, but I also love the vibe of downtown. I would happily go to college there in a heartbeat! Be on the look out for a trip report soon! For now here's what I'm loving this week!

{Eat}

Oh this could be very dangerous.
I love a delicious sandwich!
Who here is ready for the super bowl?

I didn't know if I should put this adorable balloon under DIY or buy so I'm just feeling inspired by it for now!
There's also this balloon! Love it!

Hope you have a fabulous weekend and week!

cheers,

Happy Weekend!

I ask myself this everyday. Love me some Queen B.

This week. It's not been very easy. The only highlight was no school Monday! I've been swamped with school work, got pink eye (eww!), and haven't had anytime to think about blogging. To add to all of that I think my laptop has a virus. Uh oh! I'm by no means complaining, and know it could be a lot worse, but really! Everyday this week I've had points where I just needed to stop and ask myself "What would Beyonce do Sarah?" 

Here's to next week looking better! I get to go to my favorite city Wednesday and Thursday!! Can you guess which one? (Hint: It's DC) And at least it's the weekend!

{Eat}

I need someone to make these for!! Any takers?

Two ingredients? I don't even believe it. People- I can't even!

I couldn't find a good like for this- but wow! Smoothie party!

{Create}

Oooh love this! Perfect for a desk.

Like the title of the post- Totally Pretty, Totally Free.

Arm Candy is dandy!

{Shop}

Orion's belt has nothing on this. Boom.

Love the saying on this shirt

Shorts that are for comfortable, cute, and monogrammed? I'll take ten!

{Inspire}

If only I could have had a sweet 16 like this. 

Hey bloggers at there- looking for tips on taking better pictures? Look no longer!!

I'm always on the look out for good hand lettering!

Cheers,

Sarah

Happy Weekend!

Forever wishing I was back somewhere hot and relaxing. So when does summer start again?

Wow what a week it has been! Instead of heading back to school on Monday, I was stuck sick in bed with a fever. After feeling terrible all day, but planning to go back to school Tuesday, I woke up to 3-5 inches of snow and cancelled school! A two-hour delay on Wednesday, and another snow day Thursday due to a wind chill of more than -25 degrees is how I spent the ending of my week. This week has been all about lounging.

{Eat}
I've seen this floating around for a while. It might actually be time to use it.

This tutorial is in a different language but the pictures help you. Just try and translate on Google translate! LOL.

{Shop}
Oh my. I love this. But the best color is sold out. :(
Funny Story. I saw this necklace on someone's Instagram picture, only saying it was from Etsy (not which shop) so I looked and looked and after looking all night I ACTUALLY FOUND IT! I need it.

{Inspire}
Just for fun but also helpful! Follow these tips!
If you liked the first link under Inspire there's a whole series to read! Like what!? Total swoon.
I think I need to follow this graphic to wake up earlier.
How terribly adorable is this sign for a fondue party! It's decided. I must have a dip-everything-in-chocolate party. You all are invited.
