ready for fall, but i can't let go of summer

cardigan & tank- american eagle/ shorts- forever 21/ sandels- target

I haven't worn these shorts for probably two years and I forgot how much I loved them. The cardigan was only worn for these pictures. It was around 88 degrees outside, but I felt that it was needed for aesthetic purposes. But when I walked into my air conditioned classroom, I was glad I brought it along.

skipping the historical stuff to go climb on rocks...

That is exactly what we do. My family and I live maybe 30 minutes away from Gettysburg, so we visit it very often. We've gone through the whole battlefield a bunch, so usually we just drive straight to Little Round Top and Devil's Den to climb on the rocks. It's awesome.

I really do like Gettysburg though. It's full of neat things and I like neat things.

a good kind of addiction

i have a pinterest addiction. i'll admit it. but surprisingly, i think it is a healthy addiction for my wallet. one would think i would buy everything i see on that website (which i do occasionally) but i actually like to comb through my own wardrobe to try and recreate outfits that i pin. i get more outfits out of my closet.

 

this is a favorite on my wardrobe board, and i was able to put already owned pieces together to make a similar outfit.

 

shirt- j. crew/ skirt & belt- thrifted/ glasses- dad's from the 80's

 

i have a feeling i will get a lot of wear out of this outfit!

Sherlock

this is a bit overdue, but I am now just getting free time! while at work, working back stage at Free Shakespeare in the Park, during the coldest, rainy-est, most icky run we had, I found a beauty. it was intermission and as I was walking out of the women's dressing room, I see a thin grey kitten come out from under the stage. he was just so friendly, and he stayed in my arms the whole rest of the show. since I already had two kitties, my plan was to take him to the humane society in the morning, but through a series of fortunate events, he became a permanent member of my family. he went unnamed for about two weeks until my brother and I finally agreed on Sherlock. (other name contenders were Winston, Milo, and Django). I am so happy I found him. he is just the perfect addition!

p.s. he and michonne are the best of friends.. it's the most adorable thing ever!

Traveling Abroad

from May 11-22, I was in London (and Dublin for a day)! it was a study abroad theatre class and it was just indescribable! we toured Westminster Abbey, The Tower of London, Warwick Castle, Stonehenge, Stratford-upon-Avon, the Globe Theatre, the National Theatre, and lots of museums. we also had enormous amounts of free time, so I was able to explore some of the city by myself. It was just an amazing experience and I look forward to visiting (and maybe living?) there again some day!
