iced coffee weather

I can't believe it's already short-dress/iced-coffee/100-degree weather. Spring was what....2 weeks long? I can't believe how quickly my senior year is flying by. So many things have come and gone and I'm just left thinking, "Why didn't I stop to appreciate that more?" I'm going through the whole "this-is-my-last-time-to-ever-do-this" phase with just about everything school related. And don't get me wrong, I'm more than ready to be out of high school....but it's so strange thinking about all the things I've done nearly every day for four years, I'll never do again. With three weeks 'til graduation, just about everything is coming to a close.
.....and as I was typing this, I just realized I still haven't found a graduation dress. Probably should get on that.

t g i f

There has never been a more appropriate time to use the saying: TGIF.
This school week, although only 4 days, has been the most tiring week ever. 2 days this week I was at school from about 7:30am to 7:30pm, and last night I was there from 7:30am until nearly 11pm.
My body is e x h a u s t e d.
My outfit today was pretty casual (yeah, I woke up super late and couldn't be bothered)...off the shoulder sweater (with an amazing gold detail that I wish had picked up more!) and maroon skinny jeans (also wish the color had picked up more...darn this dark, cloudy weather) with brown ankle boots.
I really need to pause and talk about these pants for a moment. Not only are they the most beautiful color, they are easily the comfiest pants I have ever owned. In all my 18 years. Seriously.
They're lined with a super-soft flannel material on the inside, which makes them so warm and soft + they're already jegging material to begin with!
I almost never wear jeans anymore because I find them so uncomfortable to sit in all day at school, but these are so great!
This tote also really strikes my fancy because it's so simple, but still cute (and extremely efficient).

Hope everyone's week was less tiring than mine!

end of break blues

Was taking snaps of my bracelets so I rolled up my sleeve...forgot to unroll it. Oops!

My winter break is coming to a close, and I'm so sad to see it end! I've had the best winter break. So much family time, wonderful presents on Christmas, and tons and tons of shopping with great friends.
I have really enjoyed having so much time to blog and relax in the evenings, and I'm not looking forward to dealing with the stresses of school again next week. It's my last semester of high school, though, so I probably should at least try to enjoy it a bit!

summer favorites

 

Starbucks iced passion tea lemonade= perfect warm weather drink. I get really sick whenever I eat/drink things when I'm hot, but this tea is really light so it's perfect for the Texas heat.
I've also found myself wearing these booties with practically every single outfit this summer, which is weird because I thought I'd mostly be wearing them in cooler weather. So that makes me love them even more: they're perfect year-round.
