End of a Saga





On June 28th, 2015, I started a fantasy series called The Mortal Instruments. Little did I know that 2 years and one month later, I would finally finish that 6 book saga. Dedication at its finest. Now, this was obviously drawn out because I'm not a super consistent reader throughout all 12 months of the year. While I was in school, I only ever read during the summer and over winter breaks. Nonetheless, I finished and now I can move on the my next series ... GAME OF THRONES. If The Mortal Instruments took me two years to complete than I anticipate I'll finish GOT in about...10 years. Not too bad right?

Anyway, if you love fantasy (Young Adult fantasy in particular) I recommend you give at least the first book a try. What else do you have to lose? I'm not a professional book reviewer but I can tell you it combines action, humor, a lil young adult romance, and present day issues all in one werewolf/fairy/vampire/shadowhunter world. Doesn't that get you hooked? No? Ok, well go read all the 5 star reviews, and then get back to me. 

What fantasy books have you read? Comment below! I love recommendations :)

Hello : August

Bonjour Août! ( Hello August en français ) . I thought today would be a great day to start a new phase of my blog. A transition from fashion to lifestyle. Sounds boring, I know. Until I can find someone to take photos of me, I'm going to have to take them myself. Which is A-OK, because there are a lot of random topics I would love to talk about on here! Things like music, food, beauty, mental health, etc. etc.  _____________________________ I will begin this new phase with a list of August Intentions! Inspired by an Instagram post. 1. Meditate more frequently (because girl you know it helps) 2. Get outside a few minutes everyday (weather permitting) 3. Eat yo greens 4. Be grateful, everyday 5. SMILE, at everyone. And say hi sometimes :)  _________________________ And finally, a quote for the new month: New Month, New Beginning, New Mindset, New Focus, New Start, New Intentions, New Results. - Words of wisdom my lovely, and newl

San Diego Vibes

Image
For my last one week Spring Break vacation ever , my family and I traveled to San Diego, California. I've been to San Diego before when I had short, curly/frizzy hair, and better yet, braces...Take a second, imagine that image for your own pleasure, and then throw it away forever. You done? Ok good, let's move on.This time around I was a 21 year old college student, and wayyyy hotter so I had a lot more fun :). Two times around makes me feel like I've seen all of San Diego (JK not really, I'm buying a condo when I become a millionaire).  Since I have already witnessed the hilly fortress that is the San Diego Zoo, I had no interest to go again this Spring Break. Instead, my Mom and I ended up right across the street in Balboa Park! The land of museums and gorgeous architecture. It was like walking into a world that fused Morocco, Germany, Hawaii, and Greece into the same space. Incredible. I dressed up this particular day in a fun wid

Black & Green in Lake Geneva

Image
This has to be one of my favorite color combinations to wear which I'm pretty sure I've mentioned before on here...Anyway, I've actually been wanting to highlight this cool shirt I bought over Christmas break. It's from Banana Republic and the moment I saw it hung up, I knew I had to have it. I love the mesh texture overlay and how it's see through on the sleeve. It makes the shirt just that much more stylish then a plain black tee. Clearly, it can be worn very causal and I've worn it with Converse before which also looks super cute.  The greenery photos above are up in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. The overcast sky didn't look to nice but it really brought out the bright green in the trees and grass there. So strange how we've had so much rain over here while California is still suffering! If only we could ship our rain water to them... Anyway, it feels so nice to have photos of clothes again! Crossing my fingers
