August







Why, hello there! Long time no see. Well, I suppose it's only been about five days. But still. Feels like forever, dontcha think?

I s'pose I'll do the usual recap:

  1. I got an A in my class. 96.4%. Hahahaha! I showed you, class. And you enjoyed it.
  2. I will happily accept congratulatory gifts in the form of money or Urban Decay Naked eye shadow palettes. An A is a 4.0, after all.
  3. I have the day off today, and I'm a-going swimmun. Or wading, rather. You know how I do.
  4. I did Pilates for the first time in two years the other day. Kicked. My. Ass. But I did it. And then I had a moment and teared up at the end of the video, feeling accomplished.
  5. I haven't purchased anything in the clothing or accessory department since approximately July 15. That's 18 days, y'all.

Anyway. Like everyone else, I've been trying to make the most out of my summer, so I haven't felt like sitting inside on the computer too much. I still have so many blogs to catch up on, so don't be upset if you haven't seen me around yours lately! I haven't really been reading any blogs...nothing personal! I still wuv u.

The second picture looks like a cheap ploy to get you to look at my boobs. IswearitsnotIjustthoughtitlookedartsy. They're out of focus, anyway. Jeez.

Tank top: Victoria's Secret
Skirt: ASOS
Shoes: Steve Madden

  1. First of all, I love your face and your hair. It drives me wild.
    Second of all, I did not stare at your boobs, but I did go back and do a double-take after you mentioned it.
    Third, I have missed you greatly. Please never go away for that long ever again.
    Fourth, Pilates will always be dear to my heart. We should do them together sometime and then go to frappacinos afterwards.

    Love you.

  2. I feel exactly the same just don't wanna stay inside staring at the computer screen. And when I go outside with a mission to capture my day, I am so busy gawking at the prettiness everywhere that don't even remember to take out my camera. Completely hopeless I tell you.

    On another note, CONGRATULATIONS!!! and I love your teal hair ends. :)

  3. Beautiful pics, fabulous legs and I love the shoes with the skirt! I think most of us bloggers slow down in the summer - I know I have.

  4. You look amazing in that skirt! And even though I've missed your posts, I suppose I'd rather read a blogger that has a life and misses posts. So no worries there :)

  5. I kind of want to steal your skirt. A lot. Maybe not off you, as that would be inappropriate, but I like it.

    Good job your class by the way!! That's exciting. You worked hard. I wish I could send you a muffin basket as a gift, but alas...

  9. So great to see you again, congrats on getting an A! Well, you are not the only one that has been absent, I have too, this huge mother ** ing infection in my ear bent me over and I have spent the last couple of days in bed trying to recover, pooh.

    You are not the only one who tears a bit at the end of a workout video, I (often) do too, when I feel accomplished haha (whatta wimp).

    Anywho, this summer has been more than strange. I am glad that you are trying to enjoy it as much as you can, I should be doing the same too except I am scared to s**ts of swimming for two particular reasons:
    1 - I don't know how to swim (WHAT?)
    2- You'll never catch me dead wearing a swimsuit or anything that comes close to it. (WHAT #2?) yeah. -sigh-

    You look gorgeous, I love that blue hair!

  10. apparently I missed the hair dying post but I will comment anyway. Digging the blue/green ends. wicked cool in my book....its hard to get in my book, just so you know. :)

  11. You always make one laugh--I love all your pictures, including the fuzzy boobs. :)

    That hair rocks!

  12. In that second shot, all I see are your perfect lips. It's an amazing shot. Love it. You look so super gorgeous in this outfit. I love the side knot on the shirt. What a great way to tame an over-sized shirt to get the look you're going for. Love it.

    Congrats on the A. I had no doubt you would rule that class.

    Oh, and I instinctively stuck my tongue back at you when I saw that pick. Cuz I'm a freak'n weird person.

    xoxoxo,
    Tracy

  13. Your polka dot skirt is so cute! And I'm loving your blue hair, you know that. Congrats on getting through the Pilates video! I've done Pilates for 11 years and taught it for 5 years, it changed my body completely. It's so good for you!

  14. I was sure you were gonna score an A!! Way to go smart girrrrrl!!! Love the look! I love your new hair and that's what I saw in the second pic! (if you want to talk boobs, try the last one! Hot!!!). Kisses :)

  19. Congrats! And I'm totally the same. Not been around the blogging circuit lately. Lots to catch up on! Been away sooo long I've just noticed the blue in your hair! Amazeballs! When did you do that?

    I've also been really controlled shopping wise. For like a whole month (with the exception of the mini skirt I bought in the sale last weekend but shhh.... it's a secret!). But other than that, controlled and behaved. Don't know what's up with me... x x

  20. Cute photos. I think you need a license to wear that skirt, though...

    ReplyDelete
  21. Oh, and congratulations on the A. We kinda expect you to get A's, so I forgot to mention it.

  22. Wow, I wasn't sure about the turquoise hair when I saw it in your last post, but it looks great here! It seems like it's lightened up a little. Either way, all around great look for you. Congrats on the class!

  32. Naturally I AM upset, but hey, it's summer, and there more interesting things to do... swimming, wading, getting As... As long as you are well and keep looking lovely, I try not to be insulted. And CONGRATULATIONS!

  33. I'm trying to do the impossible, blog and sit outside. of course there are factors like sunlight making it hard to see the screen, and the fact that there is exactly one spot on the porch where the wireless signal will reach (more or less) but it's summer, and so help me i want to be outside while i can.

    anyway, congrats on the A, I'm sure you've earned it!

  35. Congrats on the A! You look beautiful, as always! You always post such stunning photographs. I love the polka dots - I've been looking to incorporate them into my wardrobe somehow, but I haven't found the perfect piece yet!

    And 18 days with no new purchases? That's really impressive. I can't keep away from online shopping...

  43. Hey congrats on the A!! That's fantastic, your hard work has paid off. I know what you mean about pilates, whenever I take a class (which is rare) I ache like hell the next day.
    Great outfit and shots, you're becoming quite the pro photographer. Also love the new layout.
    Cheers for your lovely comment, I wasn't totally alone in my travels, I went with 3 of my friends so we ventured into the unknown together!
