anyone need a wedding dress for under $100?

target

pink. teacups. paris.

ever since starting this blog, i have found myself dreaming of dropping out of grad school and becoming a personal-shopper/interior designer!...whatchya think?...no?...Hahah...i kid, i kid.

i'm just really tired. counting kindergarten, i have been in school for almost 20 years! i still have 2.5 years to go. but i try to remind myself everyday how blessed i am. i have a promising future ahead of me and i will be doing what i love: helping people (physically and emotionally, i hope) everyday. nothing beats that.

it's just when i see pretty pictures (like below), they distract me and make me want to go out shopping and decorating!

this valentines day...

wake up to the sun beaming through the windows...warming your face...

prepare breakfast with your sweetheart...a breakfast of crepes with nutella and a hot cup of tea...

after breakfast, go for a stroll through the busy city streets....sneak in a passionate little kiss...

upon returning home, draw a bath and fully relax as you soak for hours.

the brilliance of this room has nothing to do with the actual space, it's all about the decor!

i really like this room. it's so energizing.

a good pair of white jeans

i've always loved the look of white jeans. they're very hamptons-chic. however, i have never owned a pair. jeans in any shade are very difficult to find, but white jeans are just about impossible to find. if not done properly, they look trashy. i'm continuously on the look out for THE white jeans that will make me look fabulous. i'll might check these out:

eva mendes in turquoise

i think her dress is adorable! it's a bit jcrew-esque, no?

it's nice seeing her attempt something other than her usual sex-kitten look.

i have no idea where this pic came from or when it was taken.

pink and brown

pink reminds me of femininity.

brown reminds me of chocolate.

therefore, i am a fan of the following combinations...
