Easter Sunday and its little surprises.

I can already tell you that you'll be seeing quite a lot of this dress this spring and summer, its brand new, but its easily climbed its way up to the top of my favorites category. Its so thin and flowy, it will be perfect for those hot summer days. Uhh I just can't wait for warmer  days.. :) But the cardigan and the shoes are also new! The shoes are a little on the small side, and the cardigan is a little on this bigger side, so hopefully it shrinks in the wash, and the shoes stretch a little the more I wear them! I've been looking for the perfect peep toe flat, these aren't them, but for $3 I just couldn't say no! I mean, would you be able to?!
But did you all have a nice Easter? I hope the Easter Bunny was good to you all! He certainly was to me! I am almost certain the next time I take photos I will look four times the size that I am, I've literally been living off of peeps and cadbury eggs. So good, yet so so bad.. haha. But I was even able to see Ben on Easter! It was the best Easter I've ever had! He's been away on tour for the last month touring the United States, and now he's gone for another month touring Europe and the UK (Currently in Amsterdam, but he'll be in Paris tomorrow!) but he had a day between the ending of one tour and his flight for the second, so we ended up getting a hotel room in Boston and having the best night together, ugh it was just so perfect.. Now I am hoping this next month absolutely flies by because it was such a tease only spending a single night with him! Although I am almost certain he disagrees since this is his first time in Europe and the UK..


Oh and please try to ignore the difference in editing after the first three photos.. The sunlight was shining through the trees behind me and a split second later it had completely set! I was so bummed because I loved the "golden hour" look I was getting.. I tried to recreate it, quite terribly if you can not tell, I mean, I am sure I could have done a better job if I had just taken my time with editing it, but I realized today was one of the only days I had to relax and it is already pretty late in the day, so I just wanted to get this entry up in time!

3 weeks and a day have passed since my last blog entry. Remember me? Its alright, I hardly would remember me either with that amount of time that I went missing.. I apologize for my absence, work picked up unexpectedly and on top of that I have been trying to spend every available second I had that I was not working, with Ben. Why might you ask? I wrote a little on the subject last here, but Ben was offered his dream job while we were up in Northern NH a few months back (you can find those entries here under the tag NH). He is working for a Boston, MA based band called Super Prime. If you like Blink 182, you should definitely check them out! But anyways, he's their merch guy, as well as the head of their street team and currently for the time being, he's also their Tour Manager.
Ben and the guys left on Saturday for a two month long tour, the first leg of the tour, which Super Prime will be one of the supporting acts for Set Your Goals and Cartel, covers nearly all of the United States. Immediately following that tour is a tour with We Are The In Crowd and Every Avenue in the UK. So basically, once one tour ends, they literally board a plane to fly over to London for the next, and they won't be home until the first few days of May, which is right before my 23rd birthday!
So there you have it! That to me is a perfectly acceptable excuse for my recent hiatus, don't you agree? I am pretty sad I won't be seeing Ben for two whole months, we've never spent more than a month apart from one another in our entire 6 year relationship, but knowing he's living his dream and getting to travel the world for free while doing so really eases the pain for me. I've posted the tour fliers below which list the dates and locations the shows will be stopping at. Do any of my readers listen to these bands? Are you going to a date of this tour? Let me know if you are!

Package from Sephora.










I got a package that I have been super eager about receiving! It came to me last week so I am about a week into using it, so expect a review of the product(s) very soon. Ben ordered this for me as a belated Valentines Day gift which is just too sweet :) I've been really wanting to try the Vitamin E line out ever since I watched Essie Button's videos where she raves about this line constantly, so when Ben was asking me what I may have wanted for V-Day, this immediately popped into my head and I began doing my research on it.. I ended up ordering from Sephora versus The Body Shop and got some nice samplers with it! I must head off to work now, but I just wanted to share what I got! Thanks again Ben! <3

I apologize greatly for becoming the blogger who says she's going to share certain content, then doesn't follow through with it.. This past weekend I was bumming pretty hard and neglecting my blog big time. My boyfriend and I's 6 year anniversary was Sunday (February 19th), earlier that week we were talking and deciding on how we wanted to spend it together, we decided a trip somewhere in New England would be nice so we were just trying to decide where we'd go exactly, then on Wednesday night or Thursday night (I can't quite remember exactly) we got the bad news that his new job needed him for the weekend.. He works for an up and coming band based out of Boston and they booked two shows very last minute, one in Hartford, CT on Saturday and one in Long Island on Sunday.. So I had to let him go work while I sat on the couch feeling depressed and having no energy to do a thing.. Which clearly meant no photos were edited and no entries were prepared..
But, I have him back in my grasp now, for a short while anyways, so I decided to suck it up and do some editing and writing. We're planning on taking our trip sometime soon, probably just the first full weekend we both have available, but I may have to request some time off of work if nothings working out for us.. He's going to be hitting the road on March 10th touring the US until mid April and then immediately following that tour flying over to Europe and the UK.
I am so proud of him for landing a job in this industry, although it isn't him on stage which I know he'd certainly prefer, he's been touring with his own band for years and years now and paying his dues, and it's incredible he's been recognized for it and rewarded with a hefty salary. He's the most hardworking and deserving human on this planet, and I know at times he feels like he's abandoning his band and throwing all the hard work away, he's such a charming, sweet boy, whose going to meet the best connections in the business which will eventually help him out in the long run. I am a strong believer of karma, and this guy deserves the greatest things the world has to offer.
If you read this Ben, chin up sweetheart, you're not abandoning your music, and good things will come your way. Simply put, success is what you deserve, and karma will bring it your way, for sure. I love you to the moon and back, Benji <3

Ben and I had tickets to see David Spade's stand-up routine in Boston last night. I am definitely unfamiliar with his career, all I can really say I have seen and enjoyed him in is Tommy boy, 8 simple rules for dating my teenage daughter, and of course the classic, Joe Dirt. His stand-up ended up being absolutely hilarious, I left the show with my stomach in pain from laughing so much and my cheeks hurting from sporting a constant smile all throughout. I have to give a big thank you to Bens mom, who gets us tickets to a performance/event each year for Christmas. And each year I am never familiar with the act/event, and each year I end up loving what I had just seen and being pleasantly surprised. I have decided she knows me better than I do, and that I should stop being so critical and to start being totally pumped about it even if I have no idea what I am about to see! Because with her track record thus far, everything's been totally fantastic! I am already looking forwards to next years event as a matter of fact!
But I must cut this short now, Its nearing 8am which by that time I must be fully ready and in a vehicle headed back into Boston for another show.. This afternoon Ben's band is playing with one of our favorite bands, Patent Pending. So since it's a mid-day show, load-in is pretty early so we've got to be leaving very shortly! But I hope you all have a great weekend! Ciao for now!

I told you to prepare yourselves for the over wearing of these shoes. I might as well toss every other pair that I own, I just can't see myself wearing anything but these from here on out. They're just so perfect. And I am also quite surprised I managed to go more than a month before showing this look again (last seen here). To be honest, it's pretty much my quick and easy go-to outfit that I wear when time is running short and I've got places to be without a lot of prep time. It doesn't need much accessorizing because of the gorgeous lace detail down the front, black denim works with every look under the sun, and my JC's ease this look away from being too prissy.
I really can not write much because I'm in a time crunch (but no, I am not wearing the ensemble pictured above again..) and am leaving shortly. But Ben and I are heading into Boston to see David Spade perform his stand up routine. I've never followed his career, so I am really not sure what to expect! Each year for Christmas, Ben's mom gives us tickets to see a show and each year I tend to have no idea about what I am going to see. But the shows/performances always end up surprising me and I leave the event having thoroughly enjoyed it! At least I know I loved the movie Joe Dirt, and David Spade has had a very successful career, so I am going into tonight prepared to laugh my ass off! Happy Friday!
