It's OK Thursday

It's ok that I'm ticked because my perfect sunburn suntan is peeling off. Ewws


It's ok that I'm not wanting the summer to pass by too quickly. 


It's ok that I'm obsessed whenever my toe nails and finger nails match.


It's ok that I have an extra bikini, hammock, and towel in my car at all times.


It's ok that I check a package's tracking repeatedly until it arrives.


It's ok that I want to know my college roommate sooner that July 15th!


It's ok that I have an obsession with Target. Period.


It's ok that I'm in a rut at Starbucks right now. I order the same drink, same size.


It's ok that I'm redoing my blog design again


It's ok that I'm mad whenever the new people at work get more hours than me.


It's ok to agree to disagree on something.


Happy Thursday,

Gray to May

Almost May anyway...

I LOVE spring! Spring means summer is coming and that is my FAV season! We go from gray of winter to bright and fun! 


This is what I've loved about April! 


*The weather. It has been mostly gorgeous with some rain and cold nights in classic Branson fashion


*Nail polish shades for spring are so fun! Robin's egg blue and coral kiss are my favs!


*Jewelry in coral and anything white make me so happy!


*Easter! I found the perfect dress from Apricot Lane and I'm so in love! 


*Starbucks! I went from ordering white chocolate mochas or carmel macchiatos to caramel frappachinos and passionfruit sweet tea lemonade! 


*I can still wear scarves, just light airy ones instead of thick warm ones.


*It's the perfect weather for shorts and long sleeves or jeans and a tank!


*I can wear my chacos again!! Anybody else a chaco lover?


*April was the last full month of school for me. Speaking of which, graduation is in 5.days. 


Happy Monday!


Love,


E

Spring Favorites

Today, I'm linking up with Neely and Amber to show my favorite things about Spring! Spring is by far my FAVORITE season! 


My color crush this spring is: Coral!

I love my Chacos. I'm heading to the park today with a friend and I can't wait to do some hiking and wading in the creek. Chacos are perfect for that!

I love weather that looks like this!

I love spring scarves. Remember my post here? If you need some handy dandy ways to tie scarves this is your post!!

I love this tweet from my friend Addie last night! I know it has nothing to do with spring but i thought I would share.

I'm so excited to be buying a hammock soon! Spring is the perfect weather for that!

I love these Tory Burch shoes for spring! Coral again...

I love spring drinks from Starbucks! I especially love passionfruit sweet tea lemonade. 

I love spring because it means graduation in 38 days!!! I'm so excited!!! I will NEVER have to be in high school again. 

Spring is a great reminder to get into shape for summer!! Speaking of which, I need to get back into running. I slipped a little bit while I was out of town!

I love spring nailpolish! There are so many bright, fun colors! I'm obsessed with the Essie spring2012 collection.
