Life is Simple. Life is Short.

Great advice to be taken to heart.  

Now go out and conquer the week!

Going on Vacation...

via

I'm off to beautiful Bend, Oregon for another fun-filled visit with some great friends! 

Check out the awesome house 

we rented for our stay!

5000 square feet of luxury living! So excited! There's a hot tub and a tanning bed to top it all off! I could just spend my vacation time in this wonderful house..but, then again, who wants to stay inside when the beautiful central Oregon sun is waiting? Not me. 

Check out these outfits I'll be donning <3.

Jeez, I love summer!

This Weekend: The Sisters Rodeo & Mt.Hood

This weekend Chris and I got to visit some wonderful friends in beautiful Bend, Oregon. 

We had so much fun and made some wonderful memories. 

Here are some snapshots from the weekend!

The Sisters Rodeo! 

You'll never guess what luck we had at the Rodeo! While in line to buy tickets for the Rodeo a family came up to us and offered us their tickets! And those tickets ended up being front row seats! Woohoo! Not bad for my first Rodeo.

 (as usual, I'm starving for attention while Chris is on the phone)

A bit hard to see, but if you look closely you can see the Three Sisters

 

This field was so beautiful. The colors were so vibrant and alive. There is nothing like the beauty of spring.<3

Next weekend should be another exciting one. My classmates, Chris and I are heading back to Bend for an official vacation full of adventure, relaxation, and lots of fun. 

Khaki! Nude! Beige! Oh my!

Khaki, Nude, Beige
Call it what you like....I love it all!

Last weekend my sister went shopping for a new suit for work. Unfortunately, she was unsuccessful in her search. But, as always, my sweet and highly fashionable mother swooped in to the rescue with a precious khaki colored suit she had purchased from Nordstrom. My sister, being the picky gal that she is, didn't like the suit because, as she said, "Khaki is not cool for work anymore." But I decidedly disagree. Khaki or beige is and will always be a wonderful classic basic that you can wear with anything.

Wish I was Here Wednesday

Wish I was here sipping on a cafe au lait and  soaking up some European sun!

I love the way these paneled walls look! They give a room so much character and interest. They would be perfect for a seaside condo, or a country cottage. Love! Love! Love!

Now I just have to figure out how I can do this in my apartment without ruining the walls...
