carbonara night

 So, after being abandoned for the evening, Natalie, Caitlin and I decided to make carbonara! It's one of my absolute favorite pastas, but my mom refuses to make it for me since it's so unhealthy (sigh. the problems with living in a healthy household). But after some researching, Natalie found that traditionally carbonara isn't actually made with cream, just eggs! So we decided to experiment, and it turned out pretty well! A little too much pepper. And, to be honest, I think the artery-clogging cream version is better :)

 And Natalie's lovely spinach salad. Seriously this girl goes through so many fruits and vegetables in a day it's insane. We've had put her on a no-carrot diet for the time being, as she was starting to turn orange - not even kidding...

 I've been told that if I don't put Sophie into the blog, she'll cry... more like run around in circles and throw her mushy bone at the wall (she's not the brightest dog in the world ^^). But we love her :)

vintage blazer

old navy skirt

One down-side of this blazer I have discovered is that it has a tendency to seem very nautical - as in, I can't wear it with stripes (which I own and wear quite often) without looking like an off-duty sailor. Oh well, I still like it, especially now that I took the linebacker-esque shoulder pads out.

We went shopping today! Caitlin had an eye-doctor appointment, so while she was being examined Natalie and I did a little shopping in Old Navy. She was shopping for choir tour (in other words, everything below the knee) something I am going to miss so much! They're going to Australia in a few weeks, I'm beyond jealous. Back on subject. Ok. I got an adorable new swimsuit, as well as some black denim shorts and a little patterned skirt. Photos coming soon, assuming it ever warms up in this weird state. 

I'm posting twice today! This is kind of odd... But I've decided that if I can't have a job, the least I can do this summer is exercise and blog well - guess which one I'm not so good at? (please don't say blogging that will make me sad ^^)

polyvore

So, I've recently rediscovered the addictive amusing-ness that is polyvore, and wanted to share a couple sets I made... so here you go :)

I was flipping through June's Issue of Vogue when I saw this image in the spread and it just caught me, perhaps because I can identify with the rain boots? It's soooo rainy here, I wish I hadn't left my hunters at school. Why did my mom convince me that I wouldn't need them here? It's literally been raining all week, and according to weather.com, we probably won't see the sun until about Thursday. Awesome right? I'm excited (I hope you can all sense my sarcasm...)



This was just too cute of a photo I couldn't resist. And that dress is kind of ridiculous but kind of awesome at the same time, gotta love Chloe :)

So, to share some about my day, I have some exciting news! I went to Costco for the first time today. I know, I know, why is that exciting? Well, my mother has had a membership there for quite a while, and she always comes home with the most random stuff and it's all from Costco! It's always seemed like a magical place, filled with free samples and cashmere sweaters, like the one I stole from my dad... and I must say, I wasn't disappointed! We walked around and sampled bread, watermelon, cheese, potstickers... it was pretty amazing. I think that's it!

P.S. I'm wearing a cute outfit today, will hopefully take pictures and post them tomorrow?
