Daughters of kings (and queens)


I've been stumbling around Pinterest lately (always) and seen pictures of gorgeous girls in incredible clothing. Finally after of their names caught my eye, I did a little research and found out that these beautiful socialites come from some pretty awesome families.

My main crushes are on these chicks:

Dree Hemingway:




She's a 25-year-old model and actress... oh yeah, and she's Ernest Hemingway's great-grandaughter. I'd love to become best friends and borrow those camel booties she's wearing in that last photo. 

Next is Lou Doillon. You may not recognize the name, but those bangs and cheekbones scream Birkin. 




She's french, so therefore effortlessly cool and beautiful.

Lastly, Georgia May Jagger is a rock-baby if I've ever seen one.





She's the best thing to come  of Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall's 9 year relationship. And she hangs out with Cara Delevingne. 

Getting out


This weekend is the first in a month that I don't have a family function, school obligation, or work.

Three whole days to do whatever I please! The weather has been so absolutely perfect, so I'd like to take advantage of it and get out in the sun. Sean and I are going on a cruise in a few weeks so we have been doing our best to eat clean and healthy (other than the chicken wings we splurged for last night.. whoops!) and exercise.

Neither of us are runners. I can stubbornly and painstakingly make it through a mile, but I always feel like I could roll over and die afterwards... and Sean would rather be waterboarded. Rather than torture ourselves I want to try some new outdoorsy activities that will make us break a sweat and help us work on our tans.


First is Paddleboarding. 

For those of you who know me, stop laughing. 

I know my questionable balance, poor coordination, and overall lack of athleticism makes it hard to imagine me gliding across the water standing on an oversized surfboard, but I'm going to give it a go! 

Think of all the sun we'll get! Plus, my guns will be looking pretty impressive after pushing myself around all day. 

It's a win-win. 


I'm also thinking about signing us up for sailing lessons. 

Whenever I think about sailing I envision, the Kennedy's in white shorts and open button downs relaxing on a beautiful boat, Ray-Ban-clad faces turned to the sun. 

I know without a doubt that I will probably be red in the face, huffing and puffing with hair in my face, cursing the day I decided to cut bangs... but a girl can dream. 

Do you have any recommendations on outdoorsy activities? 

P.S.- This meme has always made me laugh!

As one of my graduation gifts my grandparents are taking me to a fancy lunch and mini-shopping spree this afternoon!

I'm going to drink some good chardonnay and chat about how I haven't quite found my dream job yet. (It HAS only been a week and a half you guys, I haven't even gotten my diploma in the mail yet!)

Then we're going to mosey on to pick up a new pair of sunnies.

I have about a hundred pairs from Target, Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie. But, if anyone is going to take me seriously as a professional I'm going to need a nice pair of sunglasses right??

Most importantly though, we're going on a cruise in three weeks and I'll need them to block that bright Bahamian sun.

Originally I was thinking a classic pair of Ray-Ban Aviators, but I might go a little crazy and get something trendy... It probably depends on how much wine I drink.

How is your week going? Anything exciting happening?

Catch up


Hi there!

Remember me?

It seems like it's been FOREVER since I've blogged. Here's some photos off of my iPhone from the past week or so to catch up!

I finally muscled up the courage and got bangs! 


Just some gorgeous graduation earrings from DY.


I graduated... finally. 


My parents threw me an awesome party with blue cupcakes and blueberry beer.

My sweet, sweet nephew.





Celebratory tequila shots of course.

I hope you're all doing well!

A little mind vomit...


The count down to graduation has begun, or well now it's more of an appropriate time to begin the countdown. Technically I started it about a year ago.

Funny thing is, I'm really kind of nervous about it now.

I keep thinking that it's like being in a really long line to ride a roller-coaster, waiting impatiently for hours and then you get there. You're standing in front of your seat and you think.. Just kidding! This is terrifying! I don't want to go anymore! And you exit embarrassingly in front of all of the people that actually want to ride it.

I've wanted my freedom for so long, now I can practically taste it and I'm freaking out!

Should I take a break?

Should I get a real job and make big-girl money with benefits and start paying my car insurance?

Should I just keep babysitting and spending all of my money on hair products and dresses from Urban Outfitters?

I don't know! I kind of want to keep taking classes and plan hypothetical events, and write fake press releases and make personal profile videos about my friends.

But oh well... the time is almost upon me and I'm going to have to suck it up and figure it out.

Welcome to adulthood, right?

For today though, I'm babysitting in a Star Wars t-shirt.
