Tulle and Flowers

After my job interview Monday night, I've basically been attempting to do a whole bunch of schoolwork to get out of the way so I can actually enjoy my weekend. I plan on helping clean off my parents' deck, dogsitting, spending time with the boyfriend, and whatever else comes up. I do plan on working on my huge Interpersonal Conflict paper, but I plan on enjoying myself as well.

I also have a new job interview on Monday! I'm very excited, because I like the look of the company. Hopefully, all goes well. :-)

Otherwise, I'm writing my huge paper, studying for my two exams, and wasting time looking at clothes and shoes online. Here's what I am currently drooling over.

I absolutely love love LOVE Ann Taylor.

Onwards...

Well, after a very stressful job interview yesterday, I decided not to post the details on my blog. Other than it is totally not what I had originally interviewed for nor what I want to do with my life. It was great to experience that (probably would have been better if I had not been wearing 4 inch heels, for 7.5 hours, walking up hills and driveways) I am thankful for, but I just need to find something else for me. I am thankful for the opportunity.

So, the job search continues. Onwards.

Anywho...something that keeps me happy....this is my parent's dog. She was my first dog and I love her to pieces!

Hah...Thanks Lauren

Dress to Impress

I realized that my blog is set up to go to a Gmail account that I never knew I had. I noticed I had some lovely comments left on some old posts that I never got to read. Oops. Anywho...thanks Lauren and Jenny! Click on their names to direct to their blogs.

I love shopping. Love. Everyday, I get online, check my email for any happy coupons that I may have received, then read my favorite fashion blogs. The first one is Possessionista. She finds the clothes that appear on our favorite celebrities or television shows and brings them to the limelight for us. If she can't find a real one, she definitely finds something close enough. The second one I love is Cupcakes and Cashmere. Not only does she provide amazing clothing styles, but also includes amazing recipes and home stuff.

I am loving almost everything that Francesca's has in its store. Things are well priced and just too damn cute not to pass out. They have cute little trinkets and home stuff, but they concentrate on clothes, bags, and jewelry. I have some amazing jewelry pieces from there, but here are some of my favorites (links, since I still can't get any pictures to post on my blog).

Tea Rose Skirt
Pollock Racerback Tank
Now & Later Dress
Square Biz Dress
Stonehedge Necklace
Sedona Dangles

Their website doesn't even begin to touch on the amount of stuff they have, so visit their website to find the store nearest you!

Help?

For some reason, Blogspot won't let me post pictures on my blog. I don't know if it's my computer, but I can't post any pictures. I've gone over the help portion of the blog but it still won't work. Any suggestions?

Skinny Skinny

I'm totally freaking out about getting older. I'm terrified of getting fat. I have a significant love for cheese, bread, Mexican food, Italian food, and tons of other not so good stuff for you. However, I have found new stuff that is totally yummy and healthy.

Kashi: I'm not a big fan of their granola bars, but I love their cereal. I just bought the Strawberry Fields cereal and it's to DIE for. I also love their Cinnamon Harvest Mini Wheats.

Whole Wheat Pasta: I love pasta and definitely do not consider it a side dish (I read somewhere that it is supposed to be a side dish and never exceed half a cup. Yeah, right). Using whole wheat pasta can significantly lower the calories in pasta. I've also been adding broccoli and asparagus to make it healthier also. Also, I use olive oil (a little) instead of red sauce to cut some calories out.

Fruit: Canned fruit and dried fruit are full of sugar and other things that shouldn't be in fruit. Honestly, the best way to get your fruit servings is just to eat fruit. I buy pre-cut fruit from Kroger and Publix. Easiest way to get the nutrients. And don't add Splenda on it.

V8: I hate tomato juice, but they make cans of juice/veggies that give you one daily serving. I like the blueberry pomegranate mix, but like I said about the sugar issue, drink tons of water also.

Caffeine: Oh....my weakness. I have one soda a day (don't care; not giving it up....ever). I used to never drink water, but I've changed that and drink a ton now. Caffeine won't kill or harm you. Just drink it in moderation.

These are just a few of my favorites. They are tons of other healthy stuff out there, but these are my favorites. If I keep it up, maybe I can look like one of my favorite pros on DWTS. Hah.... :-)
