Long time no post, blah, blah, blah. Anyway! I actually have a good excuse this time, I started a new job on the first of October! I am an administrative assitant at an accounting firm and really liking it. But wow, what an adjustmenmt. Working food service for the past 3 years didn't exactly prepare me for an 8-5 office position.Getting up at 7am didn't seem so bad at first when I was totally excited to have a new job, but as the weeks go on it gets harder and harder. Turning the clocks back did help by adding some more sunlight in the morning, though. But all in all it has been a great life change. I have a much better hourly rate, I never have to work nights or weekends, I get a lunch break and I actually get to sit down! And let's be honest about the best part: not having to worry about getting food or coffee on my clothes and getting to dress up every day! Dream come true.</div>

I am totally inspired to start a "what I wore to work" section and post about how to dress for an office. I think I am finally adjusted enough to find time for that... but we'll see. The photos in this post were from the end of Autumn when it was still warm and sunny enough to not need a jacket. Dustin and I just hopped in the car on our day off and ended up at Buttermilk Falls in Ithaca. It's in a part of town that I rarely go to so I often forget that this beautiful site is so close by. In the summer there are kids and families everywhere swimming and lounging in the park but in the Fall you can get the place almost to yourself.</div>

It almost looks like a fake background, right? I was overjoyed with how my hair and outfit turned out, everything really came together how I wanted it to! I recently cut 6 inches off my hair and dyed it brown so I am a little nostaligic for the blonde curls, but they'll be back someday. This outfit is actually a <b>"saw it. pinned it. wore it"</b> type deal, scroll to the bottom to see my inspiration!</div>

These photos don't look pixelated to me and the colors look as bright as I wanted. The red of this top looks so great against the blue sky, green grass and dark water. We shot these one evening out to dinner with Dustin's family. It's at one of our favorite restaurants "<a href="http://www.omalleyscabinonthelake.com/" target="_blank">O'Malley's</a>" which is a very laid-back place right on the water of Cayuga Lake, famous for it's crab legs and good times. People even drive their boats from all over to dock right at the restaurant. This place really represents summer to me and I'm so happy I made it out there at least once.</div>

While these poka dots might be a bit over the top "minnie mouse," I absolutely love this outfit. I have worn the top without a belt before but it's just a tad too billowy... I suspect it may truly be a pajama top? I thought the belt tied in nicely with the purse and the brown on my sandals. It is a comfy and patriotic ensemble.</div>

Phew! I just got back from a crazy week! Took a bus to NYC, flew to San Diego, took a train to LA, flew back to NYC and then another bus back to Ithaca. It was an amazing time but I am exhausted! I guess it doesn't help that all we did was eat and drink and hardly sleep, right? Those photos will be coming shortly but first I wanted to show you guys my new pink skirt! </div>

Greg and I were both off one night so we decided to go out for Thai food and I convinced him to take some pictures. The background is a parking lot where the mayor of Ithaca has a reserved spot but decided to use it as a little garden with benches instead...sooo Ithaca! It's a pretty oasis in the otherwise concrete downtown.</div>

The skirt is a new purchase and I have worn it a few times already. I love the color but I am most obsessed with how comfy it is! I might go back and grab it in some more colors... how cute would it be with tights and boots for the fall/winter? My favorite way to style it so far is with a chambray shirt. I've had the top for a while but it's my first time wearing it, can you believe it's from Walmart? I thought the twist in the back was so perfect.</div>

Not really sure what's going on with my photos recently, they are getting very pixelated when I add them to my blog posts...any techies out there willing to help this noob? Stay tuned for photos from California!</div>

Just a quick post today on a morning favorite of ours...breakfast burritos! Eggs in any shape or form are a go-to item for us and I just couldn't resist snapping a few pics of how pretty and colorful these wraps turned out. There's no recipe because it's just scrambled eggs with diced veggies and cheese, laid on a tortilla and smothered in salsa. They didn't look so hot when we rolled them up so I will spare you those images. They are delish and fast! </div>

I'm finally back with a straight outfit post! I always take a lot of pics on trips but it is hard to remember and to squeeze in a photoshoot when you are running around with people who don't have blogs. I am really excited about this post because the photos turned out just as I had imagined. The light was pretty that day and the backgrounds were all nice surprises that we stumbled upon after eating brunch at one of our favorite restaurants.</div>

The shirt-tucked-into-a-skirt has become my new go-to outfit on days off this summer. I love how flattering it can be and that it's so much dressier than shorts -- but not fancy. I blame my obsession on style blogs for making me pine over skirts all winter.</div>

We walked around to a little street called York Street behind the restaurant and found this pathway to a creek. It was a small, quiet area that I had never been to and the greens of the trees were beautiful. </div>

I spent a while on my hair this morning and was happy how it turned out very messy-curly. I scrunched my hair with a new curly product and then when it was dry I added some spirals with my curling iron. Every day is an adventure when you have a blonde, lion's mane!<br />

While that may not be the most flattering picture ever taken of me, it still makes me happy to look at. That's because it took a lot to get to this point! Around the time it started getting warmer around here, I saw a poster for a 10-week program to get in shape for a 5k. It was like a light went off above my head- that sounds like exactly what I need! I had just started the "Couch to 5k" program on my own and this happened to match up nicely with my training. So I went and got a 10-week membership to the gym putting on the challenge, and while I mostly ran outside and not the treadmill- I got MOTIVATED! I was committed to doing the race at the end and I knew I didn't want to have to walk. And I accomplished my goal!</div>

I mostly kept it to myself when I started running, just in case I totally wimped out on the race...but I told my besties right away. While I trained alone almost the whole time leading up to the race, my sister and best friend Greg decided to join me the day of the 5k! They are both younger and more in shape than I, but they hadn't been running at all- so it felt great knowing I wouldn't be alone while huffing and puffing through the course. I was so nervous but we all finished without walking and it was great to feel like athletes again.</div>

All three of us graduated different years from high school but we were all sprinters on the track team and each received the coveted end-of-the-year award given to one female and one male senior; "Most Outstanding Athlete." After years of binge-drinking and sleeping in, our running careers have taken a nose dive so we were on a high after finishing the race and realizing our bodies could still perform. I am excited to keep running and getting that feeling back!</div>

I finished a few seconds under 30 mins (my goal!!!) and NEVER walked. It was really hard but so exhilarating!<br />

We will be back with our regular programming soon, outfit posts!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Another trip! I wish that's what my life was really like...I just don't take pictures of the mundane work days. These photos are from a long weekend in New York City I took to hang out with my college besties. Kate, Amy and I met our freshman year at Ithaca College. We were all living on the same floor in the dorms and we ended up doing everything together and becoming really close. Our sophomore year we lived on the same floor again, our junior year we lived in an on-campus apartment with some other girls and our senior year we lived in an off-campus apartment with just us three. Coming from such a small town with a group of friends I had known forever- caused me to have real fears about not meeting anyone I could truly connect with. These girls became those people I thought I would never find; we spent so much time together, took trips over the summers and have stayed close for the past two years we have been out of school. They are true friends and I love seeing them!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I took a bus to NYC and met Kate at the station. She has an apartment in the city so we dropped my stuff off and headed out. We stopped in this accessories store that Kate knew I would love... SO MUCH JEWELRY. Necklaces and earrings in every color and style. I'd been looking for a hat like this forever but the ones I tried on never seemed to look right, but this one was perfect and affordable. I paired it with this floral maxi dress that I got for like $5 at the end of last summer. We walked around and went to a happy hour spot that had half-price appetizers. We chugged some beers and met up with another friend from school and ate and talked nonstop! It was great.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">We headed back to Kate's apartment and hung out on her 30th floor balcony. On the super hot and humid day the breeze up there felt amazing. The view to the right was all kinds of buildings and streets and to the left was the river. It got prettier as the sun went down and the lights starting coming on, and Amy finally came into town! She is living in New Jersey for an internship and had a long day of work. We ended up just sitting on the balcony and chatting for a long time that night. Kate can actually see the empire state building from her bed! That weekend was the LGBT Pride parade; hence the rainbow lights.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">We checked out this little Chobani "yogurt bar" store that Kate had been ranting about and it was cooler than I had imagined. An employee met us out front with paper menus and told us a bit about how the store worked. There were choices like peanut butter and jelly, one with</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> figs, walnuts and honey and one with cucumbers and olive oil, amongst others. </span></span>He took our order and sent it to the kitchen from his phone! We walked into the tiny store full of yogurt displays and watched through glass as the chefs prepared our treats. They came out in little glass bowls that you were allowed to keep! I thought it was a little gimmicky but still fun.</div>

That night we met up with some more friends and went out to these two bars that were having a joint open bar deal for $30! Good deal for the city. After getting all dressed up and excited, the first bar was a huge disappointment...but the second one was a blast! We hung out with this group of guys celebrating a bachelor party and danced the night away. My outfit is completely courtesy of Kate...who knew I could pull off a high-low skirt?</div>

So these are the second installment of our Portland pictures, told you there was a lot! The place was just so beautiful- I felt like I wanted to capture everything. I think the fact that you could see the water in the distance from almost everywhere we went made it feel like every moment was photo-worthy. </div>

This coffee shop was called "Morning in Paris," and had the cutest french theme. Getting a coffee drink in the morning is just so comforting to me- it's probably the the only part about my morning routine I actually look forward to. I loved visiting new shops in Portland and seeing how the baristas work.</div>

The second day we were there we drove to a little town called Brunswick and ate at a restaurant called the "Sea Dog." We sat on their large deck that hung right over the water and got to watch men fish and cars go by on a beautiful bridge. They had awesome food and beer!</div>

So June was a big month for me. In the span of a few weeks I crossed off a bunch of my bucket list items. And to make things even more interesting...we moved in the middle of it all! While moving was the WORST, our adventure to Portland, Maine definitely put me in a happier state of mind. </div>

For some reason I have always wanted to go to Portland, Maine. Something about the photos and the culture seemed so similar to Ithaca-but different, too. I just had a feeling that I would love it and fit in really well. When one of my co-workers said she was planning a visit to Portland because she used to LIVE THERE I jumped at the chance to check it out with someone who knew the area. So Dustin and I hopped in the car with our friends Jill, Nate and Karlee and did a 3-day whirlwind tour of Portland.</div>

There was SO MUCH to love about this city. So many old buildings, little shops, brick roads, bars and of course ocean views. We stayed in a place kind of like a Bed & Breakfast and were able to walk to many places. It was great to get up in the morning and just stroll down the sides walks and look at the amazing architecture and tree-lined streets. I think it was just the right kind of beautiful, peaceful place I needed to be in. After driving all night (I don't really recommend this,) we were tired but anxious to start seeing things so we headed to town and ended up in a brew pub that made their own beer and quickly felt at home. Jill and Nate had a lot of friends in the area-many who were restaurant workers so we were always in the company of fun people.</div>

We did a lot of walking around and a lot of eating and drinking...and not much of anything else! It was a really great way to experience a new city and Dustin and I both came away feeling that we could easily move there and be happy. We are actually considering it down the road at some point!</div>

One of my favorite parts about the area was all the signs! Signage and fonts and advertising have always been an interest of mine and there were just so many quirky signs to fit all the cute little shops. </div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Looking back now, I think maybe I should have turned that last post into 2 separate ones to help me spread it out... or start saving posts as drafts for days when I have no time... either way I haven't been a very consistent blogger and that has got to change!</span></div>

I believe the problem is that I am a very creative person, but that creativity often turns into perfectionism. Sometimes I feel that I don't have time to edit my photos perfectly and write interesting content to go with it, so I just don't do it at all. From now on I am going to try harder to post a few great photos with short descriptions and see if that helps me to update more frequently. That didn't really happen on this post...but oh well.</div>

My sister graduated from Cornell University at the end of May and it was a great excuse to get dressed up and take pictures! My camera is currently f*cked up so these are all off my iPhone, but it would have been a hassle to carry my DSLR around campus all day anyway. I have been playing around with Photoshop and Picassa some more and loving it.<br />

Dressing for the occasion was tricky because the weather forecast kept changing. It went from hot to cold, to rainy and back to hot. I had a summery dress initially picked out but opted for this more wintry look because I knew we would be sitting outside for much of the day and thought it was going to be freezing! I even had a blazer, coat, scarf and umbrella in the car. Needless to say I took the tights off later because I was dying in the sun.</div>

My sister looked amazing (as usual) in a white peplum dress (JCPenny) and strappy wedges (Kohl's.) The ceremony was not too long and actually had some interesting speakers. After the university-wide ceremony we headed to a small gathering to watch students from her program receive diplomas. Her degree is in viticulture (wine-making,) so there was wine and cheese and good times to be had at the little reception we went to afterwards.</div>

Warning! Photo-heavy post coming at you. My nifty little title says it all: I took a random, unplanned, for-my-sanity, mental health day off. And I did a whole bunch of shit I felt like doing. I went running, curled my hair and did my makeup for way too long, got coffee, looked at summer dresses, looked at vintage furniture, went out to eat with Dustin's family and took a lot of pictures. Lately I have been working a lot because we are moving into a new apartment and going on a mini-vacation in the same week...two things that take MONEY. And I have been feeling like we have none. So I have been working 6 or 7 days a week and it's finally taking a toll. This day definitely made me feel better, and we even got some stuff done that we needed to! </div>

The amount of photos is also due to my recent discovery of Picassa! I had fun using their editing tools and then putting the pictures together in Photoshop. I am definitely not a pro at it yet but I am having fun learning. And I need to give Dustin some photo credit because he put up with MANY photo requests throughout our day, and even came up with the spot by the water for a background.</div>

There is a lot of construction going on in the downtown Commons area, so the city put up a giant white fence and let local artists cover it with their creations. It is starting to look pretty cool!</div>

The coffee shop we went to has a giant Dictionary in front of the espresso machine for customers to peruse while waiting for drinks.</div>

I love these pictures by the lake (actually the inlet) because the water is so sparkly! We saw a lot of groups of people in boats, rowing and practicing for crew. The Cornell University and Ithaca College boathouses are right near here so there's lots of graffiti on the bridge relating to crew.</div>

We stopped in a little clothing boutique near the Commons and I bought a dress for my sister's graduation. We didn't actually eat at a restaurant here but Dustin and I both love this little neon sign so much I just had to include it. I was excited to wear my white Coach purse finally! Dustin got it for me last year for Christmas but didn't quite understand when I said it was more of a summer bag...<br />

This skirt is really old! I bought it in high school or college when these short, puffy skirts were super trendy but never really wore it. It was one of those pieces that I loved in the store but never felt like I loved it when I put it on. I had tried it with black, white and gray tops in the past but I absolutely adore it with the loose blue v-neck. It was a great outfit for a HOT day off and complemented my long, curled hair.</div>

I think that it's finally Spring here! I couldn't resist taking photos in front of these gorgeous yellow flowers, they made my new royal blue shirt pop even more. Although Walmart isn't my favorite place, they are good for some amazing deals. I always get sucked into looking at the clothes and I recently scored this top for some absurdly low price like $3. How do you turn down a $3 shirt? You don't. Especially when it has sequins on the pocket. My high school's colors were blue and gold and these photos made me a little nostalgic for the good old days!</div>

I love this new necklace because it's the perfect piece for a casual outfit: it adds a point of interest and some bling without taking the look too fancy. The earrings might be too flashy for this easy look but I couldn't resist wearing them, and I think my hippie hair keeps the outfit casual. I have been looking for loafers ever since they became trendy but I could never find ones for a reasonable price that were comfortable until now. The loafers are the newest animal print item in my collection!</div>

I have a confession...I am addicted to cheetah print! I think it was one of those trends that I despised at first but slowly made it's way into my closet in every form; button-down shirt, cardigan, loafers, clutch and now a t-shirt. Maybe it's my deep desire to be a cat lady that allows me to connect so much with this pattern, or maybe I just love a piece that adds fun to an outfit. Whatever the reason may be, I do get a lot of compliments on my cheetah-wear! I picked up this top on my birthday shopping trip and I believe it's going to be a summer staple this year. </div>

The weather in upstate NY has been wacky, as usual, but it seems we have rounded a corner toward Spring. So nice to wear sandals! I wore this outfit to do some errands before work and ended up sleeping in the shirt that night, so comfy! I like that the neckline is a bit lower than a traditional crewneck t-shirt, and that the sleeves are a little bit longer. It is a super casual shirt that doesn't look too sloppy, and can be dressed up with a cardigan and long necklace. I really love how versatile the top is. I think the scarf gives it a light, bright Spring touch.</div>

In these photos my hair is mostly air-dried, a bit blow-dried at the end. This is how I usually wear it in my lazy day-to-day life, I call it my hippie hair. I think Dustin started calling my crazy long hair that and I thought it was funny! I have been growing it for a long time and it is getting a bit hard to manage, but I think it looks good with this casual look.</div>

Life has been mostly boring around these parts, although we did just sign a new lease that starts in June so that was a happy moment! I am trying to work a lot because signing a lease always comes with a fat deposit and costs for moving all our stuff... so I will feel a lot better once we are in and settled. Until then, I'm sure the sun and Spring flowers will entice me to get some outfit photos in. And my sister's college graduation is in May so that will call for some fun dresses!</div>

Yea I'm 24 and I went to a sorority formal... is that weird? These photos are from my sister Chelsea's formal...which happened to be in my parents' barn! My mom and dad own a small fruit and veggie farm and for the past few years my dad has been working hard to put up a HUGE barn. Recently we have started renting out the space for weddings and other events, but this was our first Greek life event. Of course Chels invited me and her friends to crash the party, and we had a blast. I unknowingly planned a get-together with my two college roommates that same weekend so they joined in. Ithaca College doesn't have sororities so it was kind of fun to pretend we were in one, even if their name isn't as cute as "Delta Delta Delta."</div>

While Amy and Kate were in Ithaca we ran up to our old campus and reminisced about days gone by, and also walked around downtown and got lunch at one of our favorite restaurants. On Saturday afternoon we drove to Syracuse to spend some time at Amy's parents house and just relax and catch up. I fell asleep while we watched the Syracuse basketball game on TV...but that wasn't really shocking to anyone.</div>

I hadn't seen these girls in months and it really felt like a breath of fresh air! I didn't realize how much I was missing them until they were here. It was nice to have people who truly know me and can also relate to where I am in my life better than most of my friends in Ithaca. They are pushing ahead in their careers a lot more than I am- but instead of feeling left behind, I feel inspired and invigorated to move ahead as well. We talked about some other get-togethers and trips for this summer and I can't wait to plan them!<br />

These photos were kind of a "planned" spur-of -the-moment thing...meaning that I knew I wanted Dustin to take them but I waited until the last second to ask him so he couldn't complain. I know, I'm a genius! I gave him the camera in the parking garage because the industrial background seemed like a good fit with this outfit. He always whines about taking blog photos but he's happy when he sees how they look in a new post. This look is from my sister's birthday dinner and I'm thrilled with how it turned out! </div>

I recently picked up this shirt from a second hand store in Ithaca. I loved the loose, silky feel and look, the neckline, the slightly poofed shoulders and the tight cuffs...but I didn't love the color. I thought it would look good with black pants but I still wasn't in love with the color...it just didn't feel like me. But now seeing it on me in the photos I think it looks nice with my hair and skin color. I was also a bit worried about just how loose the shirt was, but I think the belt totally fixed that issue and tied in the black elements.</div>

I also attempted a middle part in my hair! I have shied away from these for years since it reminded me of bad hair days in middle school, but I've been wanting to try it again. My hair just seemed to want to go that way after I blow dried it, so I went with it. Next time I will try to give it a bit more volume, and maybe some waves. </div>

We went with a group of six to a tapas place called "Just a Taste," and had a GREAT time. We each ordered two small orders and passed the plates around so we could all try stuff. The food was AMAZING and the experience was so fun and different, I think it felt like a more "adult" get-together...sometimes it's nice to be grown up!</div>

Later that weekend my sister's sorority had a formal in my family's barn... great photos to come!<br />

A new Japanese restaurant opened in Ithaca recently and we planned for a big group of people to go on Dustin's birthday. The place is located in a less than exciting strip mall so my expectations weren't very high...but it was AWESOME. It was so much nicer than I expected! The decor and atmosphere made it feel like a restaurant in a city, and it was big enough to have separate areas for the entry, the bar, tables, a sushi bar, the hibachi room and a private room for parties. We sat at the hibachi tables where the chef makes the food in front of you and it was entertaining, but the food was the highlight for me. SO GOOD! And they give you a lot of it! I think I may have taken 1,000 pictures during the whole meal.</div>

Part of the whole experience is that the chef pours saki into everyone's mouth from a squirt bottle and tries to see how long they can stand it. The staff knew we had a birthday boy so I think they got a little crazy with the saki...I didn't participate (even though I looove saki,) because I didn't want it to run all down my face! Dustin's older brother and his gf visited from North Carolina so that made the night even more special and fun. </div>

At the end of the meal the lights dimmed and an employee brought out this mask and put it on Dustin! We were dying because the thing was so scary looking. Then we sang happy birthday and they gave him a little piece of cake with a candle.<br />

We proceeded to go back downtown and KEEP drinking for a few more hours...which made my epic day of drinking even better. The next day was Easter and I was so hung over that I only had one beer! Oops. A least I documented every minute of the day. Outfit photos of Chelsea's birthday dinner shall be up shortly!</div>

Dustin took these pictures when we were downtown having a quick drink with his family before dinner. I like how it looks as if I'm in a "city" even though in reality Ithaca is so small. It was a fun, goofy photo shoot and I like how it looks like I'm a celebrity smiling at the paparazzi in most of the pics. Maybe I am! ...in my own mind.</div>

I have been obsessed with stripes lately (as every other girl has been, especially bloggers,) so I was really happy with how this look turned out. My sister inspired me to buy this blazer, she has one a lot like it. It's kinda casual because it's cotton but it also makes the look a bit more pulled together. I have also been into nautical themes like red, white and blue, or in this case red, white and black. And I have always liked gold jewelry but recently I have tried to incorporate it into every outfit! I pretty much felt like a baller all day in this hot outfit. Originally I was going to wear flats or boots but the heels took it to a whole new level.</div>

So here are the Easter weekend wine tour photos finally! My sister is a viticulture major (the study of winemaking) so we went to some wineries for her birthday. She works at the first one so we ended up staying there for a while...they even let her come behind the bar and pour for us! Wagners also has a brewery (YAY!!) so we sampled some beers as well. My aunt, mom, best friend and sister's boyfriend came along and we had a great day.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZSwX7IduoM2EHjm9OcmWdG1-P8I6-hmCcRj-l90ZIVU7knkHiCWXtvI6jkMxTNHlfp1pbGPhKLiAFXd8M3phX0njOrIEVC2MYP8MuIZMlQWfqUon1Xj6gFBWu0D8wz64M69uurbzgD0U/s1600/IMG_6698.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZSwX7IduoM2EHjm9OcmWdG1-P8I6-hmCcRj-l90ZIVU7knkHiCWXtvI6jkMxTNHlfp1pbGPhKLiAFXd8M3phX0njOrIEVC2MYP8MuIZMlQWfqUon1Xj6gFBWu0D8wz64M69uurbzgD0U/s640/IMG_6698.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

I had to rush back for Dustin's birthday dinner later that night and ended up taking outfit pics in Ithaca. We went to a new Hibachi restaurant and proceeded to drink even MORE... But don't worry I took the photos before dinner so they won't be too bad :) These photos will be up soon!<br />

Okay, so I wore this on Thurday... but that just doesn't sound as good. I had quite an eventful weekend! I even have another outfit post waiting to put out later this week...I know, shocking! It helps when I have 4 days off... Anyway, On Thursday my aunt drove into town to visit us for a long weekend and we met her at lunch. I was excited to wear this shirt because I never wear it to work for fear it will be immediately stained. I love how it's just the lightest shade of pink so it's a little more interesting than a plain white top. I enjoy the fact that it's slouchy but with the belt it looks a bit more dressy...most of my favorite outfits run along these lines. I was also happy with how my hair turned out, I kind of pinned it back in a hurry.</div>

After lunch I went shopping and used some coupons to get great deals at Gap, Old Navy and Victoria's Secret... so that's pretty much my definition of a great day. After that Dustin and I just lounged around and basked in the glory of a lazy day off. On Friday I went on a wine tour with my family and then out to dinner with Dustin's family to celebrate his birthday...so those photos may be a bit more entertaining!</div>

Long time no post! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think I am coming to the realization that until I get a job where I can dress up/look nice every day...being a fashion blogger is going to be kind of impossible. Because all of my jobs are food service-this means I never wear my favorite shirts and definitely never wear white...let alone dresses, skirts, or heels. So the outfit posts will be few and far between, mostly just days off, but I promise to step them up. I hate that these photos were taken at almost dark, but I just never seem to have time while it's light out! Hopefully I can start posting about crafts/recipes/workouts/my cat to fill up some of the empty days. This outfit is from Sunday when I went out for a late birthday dinner with my parents and boyfriend. </div>

For years before I started this blog, I constantly dreamed of what I would post if I had one. Asking my sister "Is this blog-worthy?" became an inside joke between us whenever I thought my outfit was cute. This outfit I am posting today totally represents my idea of what fashion bloggers wear. This striped shirt/statement necklace/skinny jeans combo is so in right now I literally felt out of the loop before I bought it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Which brings me to my main topic today: <b>trends</b>. I almost always hate clothing trends when they first start: lace, neons, nudes, pastels, statement necklaces, Toms, cross-body purses, etc. I'm not sure why, but I've always been like this. Luckily- most things grow on me and I start to see the potential, then quickly become obsessed with making the trend my own. It's this obsession that scares me. Sometimes, I think I focus so much on getting the latest trendy piece that I don't take the time to figure out if I really want it, or if it even fits with my personal style. Although blogs and Pinterest have helped me grow and see what my style truly is, it's still hard not to covet things that show up on every site- even if the piece doesn't fit with my wardrobe. Now that I have my own blog I am thinking about what "my style" really is and it is getting easier to see which impulse buys to say NO to. This is definitely going to be a lifelong battle for a major fashion/shopping addict like myself but I am getting better.</div>

I also tried out some lip color recently! I love how lipstick looks on other people but I know it's not realistic for me right now...too intense! So I started with <b>Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain</b>. I read on another blog that it was a good place to start before going for full on lipstick- a lot like lip balm. I am happy with the product and I didn't end up with any color smeared on my face or teeth- yayy! It does stain your lips so even when you eat or lick your lips, the color stays well. I think the color looks right with my skin and lip color, but I might go buy a more light pink one in case I don't want quite the drastic look this red one gives me.</div>

Another busy week! At least I had one day off though...my birthday! I turned 24...ugh. One year left before my quarter-life crisis. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm gonna get real here...I always get sad on my birthday! Am I a spoiled brat or what? I think it's because I always build the day up in my mind into such an epic, unrealistic moment. And I often find myself missing people that I'm not with or can't be with. My birthday is always on spring break so it's been kind of a hard time to get together with everyone I want to see. This year my sister went to Miami over break and I really missed her! But she is a senior in college so she deserves to have a fun, crazy time. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I did a lot this past year, but I'm not happy with where I am in my career. I think that is causing me a lot of unconscious (and conscious) anxiety. Looking ahead, that is the one thing I want to focus on while I'm 24. Maybe I just need the number 25 looming in the distance to get me going...I have always worked better under pressure, with a deadline.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway! After I was done feeling sorry for myself (being a birthday bitch,) I had a great day. Dustin woke up and went and brought back breakfast sandwiches, coffee, flowers and a card...! Honestly I would have been thrilled with the day if that's all I did. That is my definition of happiness right there. But then we did my other favorite thing in life... went SHOPPING.</div>

Dustin volunteered to go to the Syracuse mall with me all day! That is a miracle. The mall (now called <i>Destiny USA</i>,) has recently undergone renovations to become one of the biggest in the country and it was overwhelming how awesome it was. Our mall in Ithaca is literally PATHETIC and shouldn't even be called a mall so I was like a kid in a candy store yesterday. We were planning on coming home and getting ready (and putting on contacts and makeup) and going out to dinner...but we ended up being there all day, oops. I got a bunch of stuff from Gap and H&M, and some necklaces from a boutique. I didn't even make it into half the stores I wanted to, but I decided that I should probably visit the TWO-STORY Forever 21 store by myself, on another weekend. And Dustin's mom bought me a COACH bag! Okay, I am officially spoiled. I was really surprised that she got me such a special gift, and am really excited to wear it out!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjme4gPopSNJZdF8THq3TiqaXqnPhN1CEiKee3Z8ip8yy-BPcrAT9MITQ-MgxgJuxX0aGDjLXcbazeQM8ZoHJ0h3XPnhoKV8Ye_4Rq-ZOzLLBdFwK-r87LkFy5stI8n06dUMpArQAayM8I/s1600/IMG_6583.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjme4gPopSNJZdF8THq3TiqaXqnPhN1CEiKee3Z8ip8yy-BPcrAT9MITQ-MgxgJuxX0aGDjLXcbazeQM8ZoHJ0h3XPnhoKV8Ye_4Rq-ZOzLLBdFwK-r87LkFy5stI8n06dUMpArQAayM8I/s640/IMG_6583.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

Another busy week gone by. I have been working A LOT lately because I have a few trips planned in the coming months so I'm trying to save up. One of my best friends Kasey visited this week from Boston so I got to hang out with her a bit, but mostly worked and worked. So I'm cheating in this post and using pictures from a year ago, March 2012. I got REALLY behind in uploading photos onto Facebook but finally just put these up yesterday. It was an unusually warm day and Dustin and I went to a gorge near downtown. We grabbed coffee on one of the busiest streets in Ithaca and then walked two streets over to a peaceful waterfall...this is why I love our city.<br />

Since it was still winter, the path was gated off. In the summer you can walk up past the falls from downtown and end up by Cornell University. After these few nice couple of days it ended up getting cold again so I was so glad we got out and took some photos.<br />

After we checked out the water we walked through a couple of cute streets and just looked at the views and the setting sun. I also snapped a pic of the cute little mouse graffiti and the piano art on the side of a music center. There is a lot of random street art in Ithaca and I love to document it!<br />

Today was also unusually warm for March, but sadly Dustin and I were both stuck at work all day. I will just look at these pictures and pretend for now. Winter is almost over!</div>

Mmm, stirfry! One night last week we had time to make a nice dinner...and somehow I got Dustin to make it! Haha, he is a good cook when he tries. The first few times I made the dish and showed him how I did it, and now he makes it better than me! Probably because I always overcook the chicken due to the worry of it being raw in the middle...its a big fear of mine! The veggies came in a package already cut up so we really didn't do that much...but hey! </div>

Dustin is the master flipper. I always feel like the pan is too heavy to get much flipping action going on! First we cut up the chicken into small strips and seasoned and cooked that. Then we took the chicken off and cooked some scrambled eggs. Then we took them off and cooked the veggies. The key to all of it is to cook on low heat so it goes slow. I am impatient and always put it way too hot and ruin it. And don't forget to season everything! When the veggies start to look done we add the chicken and eggs back on, and also add some "stir-fry sauce." </div>

I thought I would finally introduce you to our other family member, Myrtle the cat. There will be many more photos to come of this little girl. We adopted her from the shelter a few months ago and I am pretty much obsessed! I have wanted a cat my whole life so she makes me very happy :) She came to the shelter from a hoarding situation (the house had around 50 cats) so she is a very skittish cat, scared of every noise...but she's getting better. She enjoys laser pointers and sleeping in small, dark places. Meeeooow!<br />

Happy late Valentine's Day! I had a busy week and weekend so the MANY photos are just coming now. Dustin and I both decided to take the whole day off and I am so glad we did. We got up late, exchanged gifts, went to breakfast/lunch at Ithaca Bakery, and then lounged around and got ready for dinner.<br />

This next photo is of all the goodies I got my bf. He has recently become a tea enthusiast so that's the theme I went with. The card reads "I love your guts!" ...do you guys say that dumb expression? He got me a gift certificate to a spa for a MASSAGE...! Dream come true. And yes, our cat is in the top of the photo.<br />

We went to dinner with Dustin's boss and a co-worker of ours. We went to a downtown Ithaca restaurant called "Simeon's," which had an amazing list of Valentine's Day specials. These are some before-pics in the hallway of our apartment complex.<br />
