Friday Fancies

Hi there! I have been way MIA on the blog but of course there is no better way to get back into blogging than joining a link up. Since it's Friday, I am linking up with {av} for a fall inspired outfit. If I had an unlimited budget, I would definitely have this entire outfit in wardrobe. Friday Fancies - Fall 1 by jessicar23 featuring a belted pea coat ...

Getting Artsy

Saturday I took a painting class at a JoAnn fabric and craft store. The class was for this new style of painting called Social Artworking. I was the only person signed up for the class and my "instructor" thought the class started at 1 when it actually started at 12. I put quotes around instructor because she didn't instruct me much with what to do. I could have saved my money and just used the instructions that came with the pattern since all she really did was read the instructions to me. But I had a good time and came out with a cute piece of art I'm going to hang up. Easy Steps: It's...

Ten Years Ago

Ten years ago when I woke on Tuesday September 11th, 2001, it was about 7:00am when I turned on the tv to see what the weather was going to be like for the day so I could dress accordingly for school. When I turned on the tv, the second tower was just collapsing. I had no idea what was going on. It all looked fake, as if it was from some movie. I got dressed and my mom was sitting in the living room and I told her about the crash. She said she knew about the WTCs but not the Pentagon. She turned on the tv as I was leaving for school. When I drove to school none of the radio stations were...

Princess Couture

I haven't talked much about my love for Disney. I was at Disneyland last weekend and had to refrain from buying many things. The Disney Store has a lot of cute items I had to share. First is the Kidada for Disney Store collection designed by Kidada Jones. The Wish-A-Little Collection is a reminder to love a little, dream a little, laugh a little and wish a little. The collection is full of jewelry and clothing with Kidada's unique princess designs.   My favorite princess, Belle. Each figure holds a charm necklace that complements the character.   Snow White...

Little M.I.A.

I haven't posted since last weekend! So last weekend was exhausting! A full recap is to come once I get all my pictures. Sorry I've been M.I.A. I have missed you guys! This week I have been trying to wake up earlier so I can get to work earlier and therefore leave work earlier so far it has been good. I'm just hoping to keep it up and make it a regular thing. We are coming up to busiest time of the year and I do not want to be staying late to get things done. I would much rather get here earlier. That snooze button just gets in my way. I'm bummed because we were going to go to a concert...

School Pride

It's nothing personal, it's college football. We all have strong allegiances to our alma mater and those feelings are always stronger on Saturdays in the fall. I shared some pictures with you last weekend but today I wanted to fill you in on some of the traditions of USC Trojan football. Traditions are so important here at SC that our on-campus bar is called Traditions or more affectionately known as Traddies. We are located in the heart of downtown L.A. but walking around campus you would never guess that's where you are. At the center of campus you will find Tommy Trojan.He is...

Flying South

Today we are off on a whirlwind mini-trip to Southern California. By the time you read this I will be in the friendly skies. I chose to do the hour plane ride rather than the six hour car ride which ended up being a great idea since we have done a ton of driving the past few weekends with going to Tahoe and Santa Cruz. The main objectives of this trip are to run a 5k at Disneyland and go to the USC football game which are both tomorrow. Call us crazy! We are flying back after the game since it's at 12:30 (Boo! Who likes 12:30 games? Nobody!) I know the moment I get home tomorrow I will...
