I am a firm believer that the weather dictates how my mood should be, and today I am happy as a clam! It is absolutely beautiful today, and the rest of this week its only supposed to get better and better! I am completely thrilled!
And since it's so gorgeous out, I am just about to run out the door to snap a few photos in the cemetery, then do a teensy bit of shopping before my shift tonight O:-) .. I am actually planning on returning the dress I am wearing above, along with a Jason Wu dress that the tag reads small, but fits more like a large.. I just can't wear this leopard bodycon without thinking Flinstones, it's got to be the print or something, I initially bought it thinking it was such a cute retro number, but the more I wear it and think about it I just can't stop thinking Wilma or Pebbels,
But before I head out, as I was taking these photos the other day, I saw about 15 deer! They just came out of the woods and were playing in the field across the street from the cemetery I was in! It was incredible, cars were whipping by rushing home and they were in plain sight, but they just frolicked about with their white tails up, not a care in the world. Seeing them interact with each other in their natural habitat was one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen. I wish I could have taken better photos, but I was in such awe that I snapped a few photos very quickly in case they were just passing through, but no, they stayed and played for about 10 minutes, then they were off into the woods again.. I wonder if these are the same group of deer who are in my yard late at night/in the early mornings.. hmm, either way, it was a beautiful thing to experience.

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!

So after a 3 week hiatus, I went missing for another 2 weeks. Oy, I am very sorry about that, by the way, but I am back, and I am going to be updating regularly again, promise. I have been unable to take outfit photos because as mentioned below, Ben's away for two months, and the batteries in my wireless remote have been dead for well over a year now. No matter how many sticky notes I left for myself, I always managed to forget to pick up a new battery. I'm pretty scatter brained in case you people hadn't already noticed..
Anyways, I am madly in love with my new denim jacket from H&M, it fits like a dream and has put my denim jacket from Forever 21 to shame, definitely expect to see this jacket more, lots more too. And please ignore my ever so serious bitch face.. I had only slept two hours, and what felt like a straight, emotionless look, I was actually looking quite unapproachable and mean. My bad.

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

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!
