May the Fourth be With You

Boy was my weekend gosh awful, what with having a rando break into my backyard and getting into a car accident all in the course of one day, you could say my weekend was anything but lovely. In terms of the car accident, the other driver ran a red light and came crashing into my car, which, by the way, is completely ruined. Thankfully, I'm all right. Well, sore muscles, completely numb left side, and pounding headache aside. I kid you not, my head feels like it is on the verge of exploding like a fire work. There were some other circumstances involved that left not only my body feeling achey but also my soul. The sheer ugliness of some people in this world will never cease to astound me, but that's a story for another day. In other news, yesterday was Star Wars day!!! AH! I wish I could say I had been able to properly celebrate by marathoning all six movies, but I wasn't able to get my hands on ANY of them! Seriously, there were about 50 holds on each of them at the library and there was no network, that I was aware of, that was airing them. How lame, right? I've come to the decision, though, that it is completely worth the $80 I will shell out to my local Target to buy them, though. To call me a nerd at this very moment would be an understatement of the grossest kind. I surpassed nerd and entered a whole other dimension geekiness years ago. ;) Sigh, not being able to celebrate Star Wars day, though, or even be able to say, "may the fourth be with you", to a single soul was the icing on top of my crap fest of a weekend. The Force was definitely not with me this weekend. Why am I not a Jedi? The Force would have definitely come in handy when that car hit me. I could've just Jedi swooshed it out of my way.

I think the only outfit related chit chat I have for you all today is that 1) these shoes rock, and they rock even more because I got them for the stellar price of $25 during an Easter clearance event when they originally cost $90. (I bought them in April when I sucked at my no shopping challenge, but I have started fresh this month and fully intend to commit) and 2) this glittered baseball tee is like the best thing ever. Seriously, this tee is so soft and the sparkled sleeves just give it an extra spunk factor, and I loves the spunk. I loves it. Well, that's pretty much it, I think. I sincerely hope your weekends were much, much, better than mine. Although, I'm happy to be relatively unscathed, because honestly, by the looks of my poor car you would think I'd look a lot worse for wear. Oh and for the enjoyment of any fellow Star Wars fans out there, check it! Twerk it, twerk it! I wish I was a storm trooper...

Much love!

P.S. There is nothing in this world like a thoughtful best friend who sends you flowers on a crummy day. Really, true and sincere friendships make life more full!

Ma Home Girl V Mars

Is it too early for maxi's and sandals? Eh? If it is, I don't currrr. Tuesday was a blissful 62 degrees and there was no way I was going to let that pass by without bringing out some warmer weather pieces. Also, as part of my birthday celebrations last week, my sister took me out to see VERONICA MARS!!! EEP! I was SO excited!! The movie premiered on the 14th but in Utah, for some reason, there was only ONE theater in the entire state that was showing it on the actual premiere date! All of the others wouldn't be showing it till the 28th. And we all know there's no way I'd be waiting THAT long to see one of my all time favorite tv series hit the big screen! Anyway, the day before my birthday we jumped in the car and drove out 30 MILES to see it! It was TOTALLY worth it! As my sister can testify, I was totally and completely crazy fan girl squealing almost the ENTIRE time. It would've been the WHOLE entire time, but, obviously, I had tsk, boo, and blow raspberries whenever there was a Piz scene. I hate that guy. Logan and Veronica forever!!! Again I say, #crazyfangirl. ;) Also, the theater we went to? Yeah, the seats were INcredible!!! They were leather, more plush than a baby's bottom, had a kick out foot rest, AND were reclinable!!! We were geeking out in pure Greek Goddess comfort! Now, what kind of Veronica Mars geeky fan post would this be if I didn't post one of my favorite lines from the series? Here it is!!

[Veronica is trying to change a flat tire]
Troy: Flat?
Veronica: Just as God made me.

Amen, Veronica. Amen. Holla to all my small chested gurrls! ;) (also, please excuse all of my ghett-O talk in this post. My inner, hardened by a life of crime in the Bronx, Diva is coming out. Not that I would even know what a hardened by a life of crime in the Bronx Diva would be like. I've never even been to the Bronx, much less lived a life of crime ;)

These sandals were another birthday present, and I'm SOOOOOOOO in love with them! Metallic Roman style sandals? Genius. I can already see myself wearing these errday. Also, what's better than a little coral and military jacket action? Noteeng. P.S. I finally finished watching ALL 8 seasons of Desperate Housewives last night and I'm kinda depressed about it now. Sigh...TV. ;) We all know the post Netflix apocalyptic marathon crash, right? Right? Just me? Whatever, I hate you guys anyway. Just kidding. ;) 

Much love!

I'm Chocolate Wasted

Happy Monday dearies! How were all of your weekends? Good I hope! My weekend was pretty fantabulous. Friday night I had the pleasure of having a little game night with the Graham girls, my favorite little girlies around! The eldest is twelve years old now. TWELVE! That's the age I was when I first met the little sweet hearts and started babysitting for their sweet family. My, oh my, has the time flown by. I feel like it was just yesterday that I was a shy little twelve year old! Where has the time gone? I actually asked my sister that exact question yesterday morning. I asked her where the time had gone and when we had gotten so grown up. You know what the little snob and a half told me? That I wasn't grown up! Pfft. Pfft. The impudence of the woman! (Just kidding, Allison, I love you! Don't kill me for calling you impudent, I was just quoting P&P;) Anyway, one of her reasons for saying that I didn't qualify as a grown up was the fact that when I asked her the question I was sitting across from her slurping away at the smoothie I had made myself for lunch. She claims grown ups don't slurp. Or drink smoothies for lunch for that matter. In fact, as the day progressed she kept pointing out little things that I do that disqualified me from being a grown up. I eventually joined in on pointing out the non "grown up" things I do because, well, she was kind of right, I'm not really much of a grown up.

Here is a small list of the reasons we came up with,  just, during church of why I'm not a grown up. :)

Reasons Why I'm Not a Grown Up

• I slurp my drinks
• I play with my candy wrappers
• I poke my sister with said candy wrappers during Sacrament
• I fidget like I've got a monkey in my skirt
• I occasionally giggle to myself for no apparent reason
• I like to doodle on the program
• I need to pee urgently every 15 minutes. (Well, that might actually just mean that I have a bladder infection. Whatevs. ;)

Oh! Oh! And the reason why I'm not a grown up that takes the cake: I play with stranger's jackets. Yep. During sacrament I started playing with the jacket of the girl sitting next to me. During the entire meeting. I didn't notice what I had been playing around with, or that I was even doing it, until the closing hymn. We were sitting pretty close to each other because our bench was pretty crammed. She had her jacket off and resting around her, and at some point early in the meeting I surreptitiously picked up a corner of it and started running my thumb up and down it's fleece lining. Honestly, I don't even know why I did it. Maybe it felt like a baby's blankie and I felt like feeling like a baby? Who knows. I'm kind of crazy. Anyway, the only reason I finally noticed I was doing it was because by the last hymn, I had started running the edge of my nail along the zipper and I thought to myself, "heehee I like the sound of zippers with this hymn, heehee, I like the feel of zippers...wait. When did I get a zipper?" and that's when I noticed that I was holding the corner of a stranger's jacket. I wonder if she noticed. I hope she didn't. If she did, she was nice for letting me play with a corner of her jacket. Bless her. ;)

Well, now that the story telling is done and we've established that I don't qualify for the grown ups club let's talk about the outfit. First, I realize that it isn't quite spring yet, but it's been feeling so deliciously warm the past couple of days, (43 degrees guys! It's basically summer!;) that I decided to just bring out a pop of spring colors anyway. I just love bright happy colors, and the color of this maxi is exactly that. I thought a fun and slightly different way to style it, that wouldn't make it seem too summery/springy, would be to pair it with this cropped sweatshirt I got a couple of years ago at Hollister! I love how dressed up and yet simple this look was! It will definitely be on repeat. 

Much love!

P.S. take a look at these outtakes. Mr. Roku was behaving like a little demon child for photos, and decided that it would just be so grand to runaway from us and pee on all of our neighbors trees. Little punk. Naturally I had to chase him down, in heels mind you, and I ended up picking him up butt up and head down.
