bee's first day back at school.

yesterday mike and i slept in and i woke up about an hour and a half before he did. he woke up very very sickly so i felt so sorry for him. i hate to be sick myself, and believe me, when i am.... i dont make it easy on anyone. not that i MEAN to be a difficult sickie, but i guess thats just my nature. i like to be babied and i manage to whine a lot... luckily he's much better about this. i made him stay in bed and i went thrifting for a bit. i headed back home after not too long [but i was NOT short on any sweet finds!] and spent the rest of the day with him. we managed to get him out of bed for a short time to run to JoAnn's and WalMart. We grabbed a RedBox movie [for free! I LOVE my RedBox iPhone App! $1 saved is $1 saved!] and headed home. We made veggie burgers for dinner and I spent hours crafting silly little antique lace bow headbands with tulle and netting. After a bit we crawled into bed to watch our movie [Bruno... which i DO NOT recommend to anyone.. it was SO vulgar! i had heard things but i was not prepared for that. ugh]. It was horrible. then we fell asleep.

This is what I wore yesterday... I was bumming it... look at that gross hair! ugh!

Outfit Details:
Dress: TJ Maxx [$15]
Vest: Urban Outfitters - Urban Renewal [$10 clearance!]
Tights: Charlotte Russe [$10]
Boots: Wet Seal [$15 clearance!]
Belt: Thrifted
Blazer: Thrifted [Adding to my Etsy soon!]

I sat my alarm for 9am to start the semester off right [I didnt have class until 1pm but I had a TOMS Style Your Sole meeting to attend at 11:30] and i overslept... as per usual. I rolled out of bed at 11am. guh! I had waffles for breakfast and after getting dressed I headed to campus.

I managed to drop a class [Corporate Design, yuck!] and pay my tuition [or so I thought... luckily I had a full ride yet again this semester! woot!]. I turned in my BUST internship evaluation and headed to my class. Today was Print Design 2. So many awesome familiar faces. But thats my school haha With 200 students in the entire college, you have all your classes with the exact same people. Luckily that includes Katie, Jordan, Caitlin, Kayla, Chris and 2 new ladies. One of the girls, Savannah, is apparently dating Mike's good friend Adam. She introduced herself and so that was a nice little surprise. The teacher seems really great. He's very very friendly and after going over our syllabus I'm happy to say I'm very much looking forward to this class. I do love Print so that always helps. [The first project is a How-To Manual... but I have NO idea what I want to do it over! Any ideas?!] Hmm.. well the class dismissed very early, in typical first-week fashion. I headed home to greet my sickly beau and before too long he wanted out of the house. We went to Hobby Lobby where I stocked up on crafty goodies, and then we went to WalMart real quick. We got home and he pretty much passed out so I uploaded TONS of new things to MY ETSY, took a bubble bath, poked around on the internetz, and then i started to make pasta for dinner. He woke up from his few-hour comatose state and joined me for some food. Now we're back in our room, he's laid up in bed watching tv shows on HULU on the tv and i'm blogging on the computer. Praise the lamb for split screen laptops!

This is what I wore today:

Now i'm going to go cuddle up with my boo and watch TV on hulu with him, even at the risk of getting sickly. :) For some reason i just got really really giddy thinking about him :) Silly me!

Hope you're all having a wonderful Monday night! Happy Tuesday to you all!

Two-Day Recap!

I suppose I'll use this entry to update about the occurrences of yesterday and today. Yesterday we woke up (10 again. gah!) and headed out to do all the errands we didnt manage to do on Monday. we were all over the place. the mall, walmart, barnes & nobel, etc. I managed to finish all my christmas shopping though! I had a beautiful family tree-thing engraved for my Nana and finished up the stockings for the dogs (yes, i'm one of THOSE people). we ate at genghis grill for lunch AGAIN.. the second time in 3 days. haha we came back home around 5pm and were EXHAUSTED. we did the usual routine. i took care of blog stuff, we baked yummy cookies, we made dinner, big ol' bubble bath and then we watched 500 days of summer. we've gotten pretty routine in watching a movie every night before bed. i like it. I let yesterday stress me out a lot for no reason. I started thinking about NYC and BUST and my career, i freaked myself out. i received my internship evaluation in the mail from BUST and i got nervous. luckily it said wonderful things and then i cried. i cried a lot yesterday. it was just one of those days i suppose. i was happy, but at the same time i was so worried that i wouldn't get a job at BUST and if you know me at all, you'll know that that is the single publication i am INCREDIBLY passionate about. sometimes my thoughts wander but when i pick up an issue its like it smacks me in the face and screams 'YOU NEED TO WORK FOR THIS PUBLICATION!' bleh. i'm going to own my 2nd internship this summer though. every ounce of passion i have will be poured into that office.

after cookies and baths and dinner and the movie, i managed to lay in bed with mike and just start sobbing. lordy. i think it frightened him a little at first but it was like i was feeling all of these emotions and all i could do about it was cry. i was happy... SO happy... but the only way i knew how to convey that was to sob like a fresh-from-the-womb baby. it was one of those self-realization moments... where you just KNOW. needless to say yesterday was a ridiculously emotional day. i was drained. so we slept.

this is what i wore yesterday: i didnt want to wear jeans but mike suggested that i do... so i obliged. i felt awkward all day but whatever.

Outfit Details:
Shirt: Forever 21 ($25)
Cardigan: Wet Seal ($20)
Jeans: Charlotte Russe ($30)
Shoes: Flip Flops from Old Navy ($2.50 holla!)
Necklace: For Love 21 ($8)

Here was my yummy food from Genghis Grill. You can see Mike's in the background too haha We're both huge fans of the mongolian stirfry.

Mike while we were waiting for our food at lunch.

And a few pictures of lazy baby G last night. she was sooo dead to the world!



The alarm was set for 10am yet again but i so cleverly turned it off and we woke up at 11:30. Much to mike's surprise, that is. I woke up to the sad realization that today was again "just one of those days"... One of those days where I doubt myself and I hate the way I look, etc etc. I'm not sure why. Granted, we all have those days, I know. But I was just sad for no real reason. I felt bad because it's been apparent all day. Mike even asked me in a store what was wrong several times and I finally just said "I just don't like me today"... meh. I guess I'm just ready for today to be over :) We got ready, headed out and went to Green Hills Mall where I bought him an iPhone 3g for Christmas at the Apple store. he was able to upgrade so it was way cheaper. We got the heck out of that mall because its way too dangerous for my bank account. We went to Nashville West where I took my curtains back to World Market that were a few feet too long. Then we headed to his house so he could pack his bags for his Christmas visit to his family's place. We came back to Franklin and ate a super late breakfast/late lunch/early dinner at Garcia's. His brother, Ryan, came to join us. I suppose we were there for a little over an hour or so and they dropped me off at my place and now i'm getting ready to head to my parents'. gah. go go go! I have so much to pack and get sorted and organized and loaded into the car... not to mention Georgia has to fit in there, too. bleh! having a tiny two-seater car is NOT practical people! especially when you dont have a trunk!

Here's what I wore today...

Outfit Details:
Dress: Rodarte for Target ($40)
Tights: Walmart ($5)
Cardigan: Charlotte Russe ($24)
Shoes: Vintage from Southern Thrift ($8)
Headband: Charlotte Russe ($6)

I think Mike might come back before we both head out (I'm making him a cd) and we might take a nap. I dont know why i'm so beat! I hope you're all having a fantastic Wednesday!

ps; whoever left this in my formspring, THANK YOU. so so so much. I read it last night after I had my little breakdown of the sorts and it seriously made me feel a million times better. those are SUCH kind words for someone to say, especially when you merit no recognition for them (anonymous). i've never purposely ignored someone who has sincerely tried conversing with me, so please say hello! i'm so sorry if i've missed you in the past! thank you again!

okay okay okay... so apparently i'm a sucker for floral print and autumn color palettes. we probably all knew that by now, right? though i have to admit the top photo is probably my favorite look of the week. its simple, casual, low key but still attention-grabbing. all photos were found via the wardrobe remix group on flickr. what are some of your favorites this week?!
