4Ft teddy's and some birthday shenans

It's beyond me that I turned on some Christmas music in august when writing this post. Merry August 7th! 7-3=4. My birthday was three days ago! 19 yo. Putting on them big girl panties. I can legally buy tobacco in the dirty Jers. because obviously that is what I'm doing. (read: NOT). I bet your reading this and thinking gah this girls blog I follow, she is a child compared to me! Sorry! You are not old. I'm just young. Think of me like you think of the grandma's and grandpa's on facebook. Appreciated but sometimes not necessary. Couldn't even tell you what I'm saying right now. I miss the days of being home ALL day staring at my computer refreshing blogger, waiting for a new post to stalk. Now that I have my last minute camp day job before heading to school, I have zilch (0) blog relaxing time. 

Back to the birthday shenans. It wasn't stellar but turned out in the end to rock my world. 

I didn't get the presents I wanted but I did get a tiffany necklace (nothing too glammy. thank gosh, so not me), and a BirchBox subscription (hi sister because I know you will eventually read this). Also B's present? L-O-L. Like actually I'm confused but its cute. and It's large. and it's sitting on my bed. Awkwardly far enough away from me that it doesn't a) take up my bed and b) creep me out in the middle of the night. 

A four foot giant teddy bear. Literally what. Thats all I have been saying. 

The card made me all warm and giggly inside though because he actually thinks its cute that I sleep with his clothes as blanket. I am a child. #Notsorry. Also shout out to the error in the message. Ten points to gryffindor if you figure it out. Aka everyone gets a point because it is easy-peasy to detect! B's mom told me she suggested a monogram travel bag. I don't know why he didn't listen to her but alrighty B, you do you. Also he gave me chocolate covered gummy bears in THE MORNING (breakfast) on the way to Miss USA (post to come friday). He knows how much I love chocolate covered gummy bears. Especially for b-fast. Super nutritious right? Aren't gummy bears like, their own food group? ;)

Cue awkward #ootd. My mirror selfies just weren't havin it on my birthday. Sup to my monogram necklace, Joyce Leslie lace shorts, and American Apparel Leotard. 

A face you've never seen before on my blog I'm assuming, right?

Icky photos but love my big sister and our boyfriends. (She stole the good side. Grrrr)

Go check out her fancy shmancy blog and buy some affordable yet WAY trendy post cards. 

So happy I got to celebrate it with my family.

And ended my birthday with some friendly's ice cream. Heck yes.

And then Monday I got to meet Miss USA....dream.come.true. 

Check back on Friday's post!!!!!

Go shawty it's my bday!!!!!!!

I know I'm one of the few babies in all blog-land but today I am turning the big 1-9. That means I can buy tobacco in new jersey. Not that I'm going to...but 19 isn't an exciting age to turn. More-so awkward than anything. 

Today's post is for you to see how I've changed with braces, hair colors, weird outfit phases, etc. 

Want to send some bday lovin'? Tweet me or follow me on instagram!

 Sweet 16

Great Gatsby themed. Yes I am a baby in my year as well!

Botton Right: Obvi, can't go wrong with some stanky leggin' at a party.

17th birthday: 

I CAN FINALLY DRIVE!

My best guy friend from Michigan (who I visited in April) came to celebrate and let me drive him around (because I thought I was coolio). I also got my braces off after a long 8 years. trust me, it was worse than you think. 

18th birthday: LEGAL

I had a birthday dinner with friends, with family(+B), went to a Mac Miller concert, celebrated our 2 month anniversary(wow, seems like forever ago), and finally became legal. It was a purddyy solid bday. I also turned 18 while on a train. and wanted everyone to sing to me. but nope.....boo.

excuse my big face smiles...

THIS YEAR: 19

Here we are. Today. At 9:41 I offish turned 19. So far my bday celebration has been pretty darn stellar. 

When I was in DC, I got to meet up with my roommates that I had from a trip to Israel. One goes to school there and one lives there, so it worked out so so so well. They bought me some drinks and the owner saw it was my birthday and gave us some saki. Even Lauren is a witness to this! DC was a great first birthday present and I can't wait to show you all the cute pictures Lauren and I captured on her camera ;) Post is soon to come!

So while your at it give a shoutout to Obama, Louis Armstrong, Dylan and Cole Sprouse, and even some of my great friends :-) 

Happy birthday to me!

Why I'm lovin this week mucho

Went to DC with Lauren and boyfriends and had an AMAZING TIME! I can't even explain how awesome it was. So I'm going to wait until I post about it and show you a few pictures that I love.

Shout out to Lauren's awesome camera ;) 

P.S: go get my new button ;)

While in DC, I entered in a twitter contest to ask Miss USA questions to be put in a prize raffle to win a chance to MEET her. and get to go on a double decker bus with her as she talks about why she loves DC. HOW AMAZING. If you know me, you know how excited I am. Whenever I think about it I just want to start crying/screaming/singing some happy songs (Like Cruise by FGL) because this is going to be an awesome day. I hope B gets off work (since it's the day after my birthday) and I would love nothing more than to have him by my side :)

ALSO while in DC (See, DC rocks my socks) I got a call about a last minute camp counselor job. And I got it! I start today! So as you are reading this im experiencing the 'awkward new counselor' syndrome. Erg. But I'm getting paid and then its my birthday weekend (Don't worry nothing exciting even is planned. Had my fun while it lasted). 

Yesterday, I went college shopping. HOLLA. and now I am stress free and lovin it. Counting down the dayssssss aka 20. And B leaves on the 17th. Super wah.

Xo. Enjoy your fridays!

Make sure to come back sunday to send me some bday lurvvvvin ;)

Here's one more - I couldn't resist!

Birthday wishlist....just another year gurrrrl

Tweaked the ever so famous Jeremih song to share with ya'll my birthday list. I'm not sure if the point of this is for you guys to care what I want for my birthday. Or if I made it with the intentions that hopefully someone important (who buys me gifts) will see this and then I will be a happy lady. *COUGH COUGH B COUGH COUGH* Also don't worry, we have 22 days until my birthday. Plan accordingly, ladies and gents. 

            1. Monogram Hat...Simple as that. Ha. Rhyming. I saw Robin do a review post about one! And I've been dying to just settle down and splurge for some Marley Lilly. 

2. Easy Pass. Which I'm sure your state has some sort of no cash toll stuff. Being that I'm going to school in another state next year aaaaand will have my car, I think this gift is only right. Especially for a broke college gal.

3. So B is obsessed with Toy Story. He probably won't appreciate the fact I just put B and obsessed in the same sentence because he just simply isn't 'obsessed' with things. Unlike me...I obsess over many things. I came across the ring on etsy and knew it had to be mine one day. So can the one day be my birthday? Okay, thankies!

4.Norts. Whats even better than Norts? MONOGRAM Norts. Gimme. If you look cute in norts in public, that counts as working out right?

5.I want to look like that lady....getting a massage. B and I have been talking about getting massages because they seem so relaxing. And that is something I so need.

6. Seersucker Monogram Bow? Probably don't need this but it's waaaaay too cute to not put on my birthday wishlist.

7.Lilly Dress. Speaking of Lilly, I'll take Lilly anything. Or one of everything - that works too!

Also make sure to give a birthday gift and/or shoutout to POTUS on August 4th too!

Marley Lilly & "Blacations"

OOTD / Bracelet from B for our one year :)

---------------------------------------------

Soooooo getting paychecks is great right? Yea. Weeeeellll only when you can splurge a bit aka what I'm doing with my paycheck this time. oops. 

Besides ordering expensive pictures from the phillies game because I'm annoying, and trying to remind myself I am infact on a budget, why not check out some Marley Lilly?

1. Pullover Rain Jacket. Alright I really have zero of a purpose to get one of these gems. I just think there uber cute and I would like such a sorority girl/jap rocking these with some hunter rain boots. #Notsorry. Also what I totally just hashtagged on here. Turning into weird social media guy from the Bachelorette. $44.99

2. Car Decal. BUT WHO DOESN'T JUST LOVE MONOGRAMS? Yea. Exactly. So preppy. $14.99

3.Baseball Hat. After reading Robin's post on her Marley Lilly hat....I need one. Side note: I also need Robin to come back into the blogging world because I miss keeping up to date on her daily life but hey everyone needs a blacation. (yes, just made that up AKA blog vacation) $24.99

4. Boat Tote. Totally will admit I would have judge these bags as mom bags when I was a youngin' because my mom had one of these and made me lug them to camp at the wee little age of five. She also used to dress me in Lilly and I would die from the embarrassment. People change, huh?! $29.99

5. iPhone Button Decal. Probably one of the biggest wastes of money but who doesn't ever want to pimp out their phone???? If I had money to blow, I'd spend it on this. $13.99

What pointless yet amazingly awesome things do you keep buying just because you don't want to part ways? (no matter how dumb) 

**Starting to design blogs too! Cheapest package is ONLY $12! 

I love blogging so no blacation for me. But a real vacation would be nice!
