New Girl Crush

British model, Cara Delevingne. She's absolute perfection that reminds me of a modern Twiggy. She looks like the kind of girl you want to go out and get crazy with. She looks like she is in love with every day of her life and who doesn't love someone like that? She's my current go-to style icon and favorite person to follow on Instagram. I only wish I had her eyebrows!!

XOXO

I've resisted as long as I can, but my grief has gotten too big. It's time to discuss the massive hole in my life that was left by the ending of Gossip Girl. It was ridiculous and frivolous and I loved it with my whole heart. It filled the hole that The O.C. left and now I'm at my wit's end. Even my husband has mentioned a time or two (okay it's been more like 10 times) that he sure did miss Chuck. Without this show he would've never known his true desire of wanting to own silk pajamas and that's been a total blessing in his eyes! *insert mild sarcasm here* Who will be my go to girl for snotty fashion now that Blair has been removed from my weekly TV schedule?? How will I know how NOT to treat my friends without Serena's wisdom?? I had my picture taken on the steps of the Met because of this! I've been tempted to sew a heart charm in the sleeve of a sweater of every boy I've loved because of this! I had to have a ruby ring because of this! I don't feel like raising a new TV show child, I just want my GG back!!! Despite the fact that it was THE END, I did actually like how things came to a close. In all honestly, all I really cared about was Blair and Chuck getting their happy ever after. (What can I say? I really am a sappy tween at heart.) I don't think there will ever be another show that can even compare to Gossip Girl. Especially not now that everything has gone to the paranormal side. From the very first book to the very last episode, I was obsessed. I can hardly even believe the first book came out in 2002. Ten years is a long time to devote to something and I'm so happy I was in on the whole crazy ride. It's been fun y'all and now it's time to say for one last time:

You know you love me!
XOXO,
Gossip Girl

Truth.

MK+A (again)

I love them. We all know I do. It's mildly sick but I'm not ashamed. They are adorable and so fashionable. I envy everything they wear. (Even the weird, sloppy outfits.) I even love them more than I love Lebron.(Probably because there's double the people to love.) I wonder if they would consider adopting a 25 year old fangirl??

 

 



Out with the old..

Today is my last day at my first ever big girl job. It's definitely had it's ups and downs but overall it was a great first job. Just towards the end did I really get annoyed and ready to move on. I'm excited to have some time off but I won't lie, I'm a little sad/scared too. What if my next job isn't filled with people that adore me like all these little old ladies?? I need to be loved, people! It will be very bittersweet to walk out of here one last time today. I said all my goodbyes yesterday when everyone took me to lunch and I felt like such a chump. These sweet old ladies that have been driving me up the damn wall actually gave me going away presents! Anyone that knows me knows I love a present but those made me feel so guilty. Luckily, my boss is out today and my co-worker is leaving early so I can just leave at 5 without a dramatic ending to the last 3 years.

I guess it could be worse, my last day could be as sad as Michael Scott's.

The Perks

Stop what you are doing and go see The Perks of Being a Wallflower right now. I'm not kidding! Get your ass up and go! Having read and loved the book in high school, I had a pretty good idea that I would love the movie (unless they totally screwed it up somehow!) and I can honestly say I did. The cast was PERFECTION! This is the second non-Hermione role that I've seen Emma Watson in (My Week with Marilyn was the first) and I'm in love with her. I just want to hug her and call her my bestie, she's so adorable.

Although my husband called the movie depressing, I didn't quite feel that way. But I guess that's because I knew what to expect. In my defense, I did suggest he read the book prior to the movie. One day that man will finally listen to all my advice and be happier for it because I'm pretty sure I caught a little tear in his eye at one point. With any movie, though, a few things were changed for dramatic effect. I won't say what but the they definitely didn't changed the overall feel of things. I will even go so far as to say they made it better. Basically, it's fantastic and I can't stop thinking about it.

I QUIT!

And I couldn't be happier! I put in my two weeks notice yesterday! Huzzah for me! No more stressful, miserable job. I'm looking forward to catching up on the things I love and then leisurely finding a new job that makes me happy. (Thankfully, the hubby is very understanding of me needing to do this.) The list of things I want to do when I get my freedom back is growing every second!

Including, but not limited to:

1. Finally finish the last three Harry Potter books so I am not a disgrace

 to my family and friends anymore.

2. Catch up on my embroidery and craft projects.

3. Hang up pictures in my living room.

4. Paint my bathroom pink.

5. Volunteer at the children's hospital.

6. Cook supper more often.

7. Clean out all the clothes we no longer wear and take them to Goodwill.

8. See what all the fuss over Downton Abbey is about.

9. Snuggle with my little nuggy pup all day.

10. Wear sweatpants everyday.
11. Start working on my co-blog with the besties. 

 

 

 

Seriously, could you leave this face every morning and be happy about it??
