Further proof that Zooey is adorable and talented.

Good news for those in the PNW:  Wet hair is apparently "in."

This bread looks really fun and makes a great "treat for every season" because the shape possibilities are endless.

One of my best friends re-vamped her blog!

I'm glad I found this toast post (hehe), because lately I've been loving toast (namely, covered in avocado and fried egg).

New HBO show:  Family Tree.  Two episodes in and I'm hooked.


Happy weekend.  xoxo

is it raining in pdx/phx

OF COURSE IT'S RAINING IN PORTLAND.  But it seems so wrong for a desert girl for me.  Sure, I'm used to summer monsoons in Phoenix, but even when those hit, it's still extremely warm.  And thunderstorm-y. 

I'm used to the 98 degrees-variety of summer. (And no, that doesn't mean spending the summer listening to the 90's boyband 98 degrees. Oh man, googling them brought back some memories.  Also, appropriate song lyrics "you're the sunshine after the rain"--that's about you, Phoenix.)  This 50 degrees stuff is going to take some getting used to.  At least I have a pile of books and a script to read for my internship to keep me occupied indoors.  

roommate staycation

Claire and I were fortunate enough to be able to stay in Ted's room for a few days after we had to move out of our room (which was AWESOME because moving out was a mess and it would have been a shame to have to say goodbye during such a stressful time).  I dubbed this our "roommate staycation" because we were roommates in a different room across campus.  We had fun lounging around watching movies and embarrassing TV online, grocery shopping, making food, and soaking up our last few days as roommates.  I'm sure going to miss this lady, but I know that we will both have a blast studying abroad and will come back refreshed and full of new experiences to take on senior year.  It's weird to think that I won't be seeing a lot of people until senior year, but I hope the circumstances help me branch out more and connect with the other people going on my London trip.  I'm just happy that this year I was lucky enough to have such a great friend as a roommate!

wanderluster vs. homebody

I have a busy summer ahead of me.  A part of me loves this, and another part of me really just wants to cuddle Izzy and watch House Hunters at my house.  I'm very conflicted in that way.  I think what I need is a good balance.  Last summer I was literally home for four months straight aside from a two week trip to California.  This summer I am going to be mobile all summer, going from one place to the other.  It's exciting, but also way out of my comfort zone.  That's good for me though--I need to get used to this real life stuff so I'm not as shell shocked when I graduate in TWO YEARS.  What even is that.  Time, you're crazy.  

Also related:  My sweet graduating friend who went on the London program last year gave me a list of things to do there and I could not be more excited.  AHHHH!

my style, then & now

then

now

Recently I started using tumblr again (as one does when finals come around), and I've realized how my style has evolved since I started it a few years ago.  I started it as a pursuit to encapsulate all that is "sweet, pastel & lovely" which eventually evolved into a place with more obsessive things like Darren Criss, Harry Potter, and Glee.  Now it's become more like my true style--colorful and classy, with a sense of humor and handmade-ness.  This is a pretty pointless post, but it's something I noticed and it makes me happy to see that my style is evolving into something I now recognize is more me.

That's all.  It's summer and I'm going to post pointless things because...

it's summer.

WHATCHA GONNA DO ABOUT IT?

Okay, bye now.
