top 25 summer songs

Honestly guys, this was hard. 

It started out as a top 10, then turned to a top 20, and ended at top 25.

And I was tempted to make it longer.

So, here it is:

My top 25 favorite summer songs (in no particular order).

Per usual, this list is based upon my current thoughts.

Tomorrow, it would probably be different.

summer vibes

After the longest winter of my life, I am beyond happy to say it is FINALLY WARM! 

Summer outfits are my favorite.

(except for when it's fall, then I say fall outfits are my favorite)

I'm grateful I work a job with a pretty lax dress code.

It was hot and humid outside today, so I chose this outfit 

(plus a cardigan (not pictured) to wear in the office since temps get quite low in there).

(I'd like to point out that my 4 year old took this photo ^ for me)

Glasses: The Icing (inexpensive & a cute accessory)

Necklace: Forever 21

Ring: Topshop (I think?)

Tank: Forever 21

Maxi: American Eagle

Sandles: Forever 21

HAPPY SUMMER!!

post - hibernation

Alright folks, first off, I apologize for being away for 3 months (because I know you were all very much so missing my posts...). Apparently I went through a period of being 100% completely uninspired. Hopefully I'm over that now (the sunshine seems to help)!

Since my last post in February, a lot has changed. 

Also, a lot of this change has happened quite recently:

1. I got a new job! I'm now working full time at a college library. 

Going on two months and so far I love it!

2. My poor kitty cat recently became very sick and had to be put down today. :( 

RIP Fatty McFatCat

3. I am lucky enough to get to go back to England again
in a month to see my favorite guy, Tom!

4. Today I submitted my application to FSU. Hopefully come Fall I will be on track to get a Bachelor's degree. It's only taken me long enough to get to this point!!!

5. Currently reading: The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living
by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler, M.D. 

(not halfway yet and I already know it's going to be a fantastic read)

Here's a little excerpt:

"On the other hand, if you possess this inner quality, a calmness of mind, a degree of stability within, then even if you lack various external facilities that you would normally consider necessary for happiness, it is still possible to live a happy and joyful life."

6.  I took a little break at work today and went on a walk, after being stuck inside pretty much all day since 9am, because it was absolutely perfect weather.
