Friday faves

Happy Friday :)

I don't have a lot of time, but here are my faves!

(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

1. For some strange reason, I very much like balloons. I told my friend a while ago that I want lots of them at my birthday party so that I can let them go, kind of like a ceremony. It doesn't make sense, but it would be cool to take pictures of it. 

2. This is too sweet! I knew I liked swans.

3. The smell of the ocean is the best. (aside from the smell of blueberries, that is.)

4. "I don't care if Sunday's blue. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday too. Thursday I don't care about you. It's Friday, I'm in love!" I love this song. I don't hear it on the radio that often, but it's better that way. It's never overplayed.

5. Italy and Paris are currently competing for the title of The Place I Want to Go Most. They're both gorgeous, but Italy is probably even more relaxed than Paris. Shopping in Paris would take a lot of energy, after all. However, I would gladly expend it.

I suppose that's all I have time for.

This is a terribly late post, you see. 

I am happy to say that I was quite busy today. :)

May your weekend be filled with greatness.

'tis Thursday, my friends.

Bonjour!

Just an update today.

1) It has been raining every day for the past three days. This is what it produced:

I honestly cannot wait for Autumn/Winter. Summer's great, but right now I'm kind of at that in-between stage that involves no homework, but also no beach or swimming of any kind. I'm just not there yet.

Rainy days actually help. :)

2) I have been listening to Ingrid Michaelson nonstop. My favorite song is The Way I Am. Don't ask me why, but I listen to it over 10 times a day. 

3) I'm pretty sure I had an allergic reaction to an ant bite. (random, but update-esque.)

4) Pinterest distracts me from just about everything, including food. (even the food pinned on Pinterest). The basic line of thought is this:

Oh, food!

Wait, Pinterest...

Hey look, a recipe!

Now I'm hungry again.

Ooo, cute shoes.

I wonder what that smells like.

Gosh, I wish I were born 50 years ago.

CAT!

Paris.

Aww, they're so cute together!

Food...

...Pinterest.

Right: pin now, eat later.

(in case you were wondering) ;)

5) I bought twine today. Well technically, it's called hemp cord. It's weird, I know.

As you can see, nothing exciting has really happened this week.

Although no news is good news, if you know what I mean.

Oh! However, I would ask that you please pray for the Campbell family, as they recently lost their 87 day old son. It's very sad and they need all of the prayer that can be given.

Until tomorrow, my dears.

Prom 2012

Prom was on Saturday night!

It took place at the Wyndham Grand Hotel, and the decorations were amazing.

I don't know who put everything together, but they did so very well!

I absolutely loved my dress. I could swear God led me right to it in the store.

Since I had roughly two hours to get ready after work, I did everything myself. Mostly I was just winging it, since I know I can do it over again next year.

 I tried quite hard to not make everything look overdone.

 I think my hair and makeup turned out fairly well.

^Katie and I before prom.

^ Luke and I before prom.

All in all, prom was lovely! A ton of my friends were there, and we danced so much.

TFA even had artists drawing caricatures of the students. :)

I hope your weekend was absolutely wonderful!

Prom dress

Hey there! 

Today I bought my prom dress. Finally.

 I thought that maybe, possibly...

you might want to see it.

Of course, I then thought of how little fun that would be and decided to be secretive and only give you a preview. 

So what have you got here? It's green, it's chiffon, and it's RL. Do with that what you will!

By the way (and this is irrelevant to the dress hunt you're about to perform), our prom theme is A Night in Paris.... or something French themed. How cool is that??

Anyway, I'd better get back to my schedule. It's very tight, you know.

It just so happens to be Monday.

Bonjour, mon chéries.

Today has been above average, mostly due to the fact that my J.Crew 'style guide' arrived!

(Of course, that was in the later part of the day, so the first half was still only average.)

My weekend, however, was absolutely crazy!

First there was the fantastic performance of Beauty and the Beast, and then two birthday parties.

By the way, I have pictures from B&B!

I was weirdly obsessed with the flower box outside of Belle's house.

Abbie! :)

The performance was amazing. Quite honestly, I expected it to be two hours of something I'd already seen a dozen times, but it was so much more! The cast was perfect, and Courtney was perfect as Belle.

And now I leave you with the captured image of perfection.

(This is pretty much how I spent the last portion of my day)

Oh, and updating the blog of course. :)

I'm afraid that's all the blogging time I have at the moment.
If anything exciting happens(or if I just want to talk about my blessed life), I'll be sure to keep you updated. :)

P.S., prom is coming up.

Is it Friday already?

It's Friday the 13th!

Gosh, this week has blown by. So much to do!

Despite my hectic week, I wouldn't miss Friday Faves for the world. 

(1, 2, 3, 4)

1) I just love this print. The colors are gorgeous, and the scene, of course, is perfect. If I had a Paris themed room, this would definitely be a must-have.

2) Lately I've been on the hunt for tan wedges, and these are close to what I want (less buckles, lighter shade... small alterations.). I found some about a week ago that were almost exactly what I'm looking for, but there was a reason they were on clearance (broken buckle strap loop thingy). I suppose I'll just have to keep looking!

3) How perfect is this picture? The tart looks delicious (I love all berries, by the way). I might have to make it if I come across a lazy day. There is no end to what you'll find on Pinterest. I have a whole board for food.

4) THIS. SHOW. If you haven't watched it, you're missing out. I can't help laughing continuously throughout the episodes. Re-runs are on TBS a lot, and the more current episodes can be found here. My favorite character is Sheldon. He's hilarious.

By the way, my first day at Planet Smoothie went well! I am now able to work the cash register. Currently, I'm working on the memorization of what smoothies go under which category. I made flash cards.

Well, I suppose that's it for today. If all goes as planned, I should have a party to tell you about come Monday.

Have a fantastic weekend. :)

xoxo,

Danielle
