Blogiversary!

Today is this little blog's first birthday!

I'm so happy that my sister suggested that we start blogs and that I went along with her idea. I thought that I would post a recipe or two and then I would forget about it, and I'm so glad that didn't happen! I have made some amazing blogger friends and found a lot of amazing inspiration throughout this past year. 

I've got a giveaway coming up to celebrate making it through the first year. I'll be announcing it tomorrow, so make sure to check back in!

I can't wait to see what the next year brings!

Hope you're all having a good Friday!

P.S. My sister's blog had it's first birthday yesterday! So make sure you stop by and check out some of her amazing recipes!

Bambi

Shirt: Old Navy; Shorts: Target;

Shoes: Target

So, to start with, these shorts used to be a romper. But then I realized how ridiculous I looked in it (before I had worn it in public, luckily), so I ripped it up and now I have shorts and a skirt. And these shorts are really stinkin' comfortable, so I'm glad I did it.

In other news, I almost had a mini heart attack last night. I heard something banging on the house right by my bedroom. At first I figured it was one of my neighbors friends who had probably had a little too much to drink because they were partying it up over there. Yea, on a Wednesday. They have a lot of parties (like the almost every night kind of a lot). After a few minutes of it I started to freak out a little bit. So, I finally got the lady balls to go look out the window and when I lifted up the shade there was a giant freakin deer standing there staring at me. I was totally prepared to see a creepy middle aged man standing there trying to break in, but a deer?! Right up at the window?! I was in no way prepared for that. I think it was more freaked out than I was since I had pretty much just blinded the poor thing with my flash light. There was also a baby bunny in my yard last night and all day today. So together they might be remaking Bambi, I don't really know. But I would prefer they do it at some other time of the day, and not so close to my window.

Room Redo pt. 1

In case I haven't mentioned it enough already, I'm really excited about redoing my bedroom and getting it super organized for the first time since I moved to MI almost a year ago.

Here are the pieces that will soon be taking up residence in my room:

Micke Desk in White/Birch

Laver Chair in White/Silver

Lack Side Table in Birch(x2) 

Malm Dresser in White 

Basisk Table Lamp in Birch

I'll make sure to take pictures once I've got everything finished and (hopefully) looking good. 

Who wants to guess how long it's going to take me to put all of this stuff together by myself?

I'm hoping it won't take too long. But, I'm pretty sure that is just wishful thinking.

Have any of you put together Ikea furniture by yourself before? I've gotten mixed reviews about how much of a pain it is.

30 for 30 Recap

I'm so excited to be finished with the 30 for 30. It definitely served it purpose of teaching me new ways to wear some of the things in my closet. It made me think of combinations that I never would of before, like my tomato red skirt and neon pink shirt, and it made me fall in love with a previously unworn white blazer. It also taught me that I shouldn't buy any more striped tops for a while (that isn't going to happen though), that my denim skirt will look a lot better once I lose a few pounds, that that striped tank top is bad news, and that I should be more consistent with my bronzer usage.

I have a few outfits that I will most certainly be wearing again (7, 8, 13, 28) and a few that I won't even think about wearing ever again (12, 19, 20, 22). All in all, I'm glad I took part in this 30 for 30. I think the Fall or Winter one would have been a lot easier for me, but overall, I guess I'm pretty pleased with this one. Except for outfit 22. Lets wipe that out of our memories and pretend it never happened, okay? Thanks.

If you've ever taken part in the 30 for 30 what were your final thoughts about it? Are you glad you did it or did you hate every moment of it?
