Save Trestles.

I'm doing a couple guest posts over on Katie Wanders this week. She's moving to Spain and thinks she's to busy to do it herself or something.

p.s. she's my sister.

luh, luh, luh, luh, luh, need?
yes, certainly.
And then I shant tell a lie and let you think I found this on my own? No, no,  no, this fine fellow always shares the raddest items.

This is from here.
This is my life goal.
Thank you Tammy

So here is an update that I've been keeping kind of private, obviously if someone asks me I tell them but I mostly try to find ways around it ..
See the thing is ...
I'm quite technically being the biggest mooch I've ever been in my entire life! Right now, I'm living with my sister(sweetest, loveliest, kindest, prettiest, most creative, most generous, most delightful, etc. lady), which doesn't sound bad, obviously, but the real story is that this weekend rendezvous has turned into a 2 month holiday! I was only supposed to be between apartments for the weekend and then I would've been totally not sleeping on their couch and eating their cereal but I backed out of the apartment because commitment scares me ... maybe?
Honestly I don't think i could stomach living in Provo for any longer. If I was going to BYU or had a family or something I'm sure it would be fantastiiic (in your best singing Mary Poppins voice), but seriously, this place is killing my soul. Don't ask for specifics because I really can't give any. Ok, ok, maybe it's all the Peter's and Molly's that are scaring me away.
But alas! Finally a solution! I will be moving back to Salt Lake soooooon! As in 3 days from now! Ok, just kidding, 3 weeks from now.
I lived downtown for almost two years! It's a very pleasant place to ride bikes and go to farmers market and see concerts. Perfect for a girl like me who can't possibly manage meeting one more BYU student who's never had a job or a returned missionary who can't escape the jncos (gag). Ok, ok so i've only met a couple. But one can never ever be to careful when it comes to safety.

p.s. I rarely ever read posts that have obviously forgotten to insert their pictures! So i'm mostly banking on none of you 12 followers to read this.

Thank you's

The men's segment of pretty photographs.

Again, these are from before pinterest, but I can confidently say that most likely the first and the last are from The Sartorialist.

Have you noticed how a lot of blogging content is strictly photographs? Pretty photographs. I like it a lot and would like to join the trend. Here is my attempt at doing so.

Also, I don't have the links for these beauties because i saved them long ago, before i knew about that gem we call pinterest.

ta ta loverlies

some people say she looks like me, thank you.
xo

at first i thought this could seriously not be anymore inspiring!!
but thennn i decided the best way to do it is to gain a hundred pounds and then get on the show.

xo

i can't lie

and then i see a picture like this and i just want to wear little white shorts and never eat another jcw's bleu bacon cheeseburger.

xxoo

crazy sun protectors

farewell

today was spent on the mountain on the couch and on the streets of provo just doin whatever i please.
while on the mountain the snow was blowing at a radical rate and i realized that summer is cooooomiiiing.
while on the couch i realized that "the switch" is a good movie and that summer is coming.
while on the streets i was trying to tell myself that i really can burn more fat by walking instead of running
only time will tell.
xo
p.s. i love summer so badly.

g'head, give it a listen if you haven't already.

xo

summer time is like sandwich time

porchetta sandwich with balsamic carmelized onions, asiago cheese and arugula.
this closet cooking man is pretty rad. i mean seriously this looks D. Vine. my mouth is waaatering.

hug kiss

hey.

i will only give one excuse for my absence.

homework. 

i guess i finally realized that in order to make anything of myself i'm just gonna have to deal with it.

and i can't get on the internet without feeling guilty about not studying ... except right now!

funny how that works though,

 just recently people have been telling me that i can't just walk away when things get hard.

por que no?

okay i guess i can give one more excuse, i've been dreaming of better things than blogging.

 i have this theory that just by wearing a middle part i can partially fulfill my need/want, to be a hippy in a giant human peace sign.

1.

i neeeeed one of these, and if that sounds whiny then so be it!

2.

i don't know anything about cars and i don't necessarily want a honda but I DO want a car and I DO want it to be dependable and run for the rest of forever and I DO want everything in the car to work and I DO want it to be cute. and that's that.

4.

frye boots.

5.
