italy.

I can't believe I am actually writing this from my apartment in Italy. It feels so surreal to be back in Europe in a different country. It is beautiful here - just like I remember it. With such a long day of traveling, major jet lag, and doing some actual work, I am so ready to go to bed! I think it's in the afternoon on the west coast of the US right now, but it's 10pm here. With the time-change and the long flight, I basically pulled an all-nighter and I can feel it - I'm wiped! I will definitely update more and hopefully post some pics as soon as I can :)

new blog header!

On a whim last night I decided to design a new header for my blog. I liked the navy blue, but wanted to add some more color. So, naturally, I chose pink :)

I'm still in the process of doing little tweaks for the rest of the page, so please bear with me as I touching it up! I also noticed that in Internet Explorer the right-hand section of the bar in the header goes doesn't fit and goes below the main header (the screenshot above is how it looks for me on Chrome). I'll work on fixing that in case it looks funky on other browsers!

What do you think?

more updates...

Hello, hello! I am still working on cleaning up that virus on my computer so this post is just a super quick update! Coming soon: the lovely Darcy nominated me for a Liebster Award (thanks girl!) so I will post my responses to her questions soon. Also, an outfit post is on the way, as well as Friday's Fancies and Tumblr Saturday! In the meantime, feel free to check out my Pinterest or Twitter. :)

Have a wonderful day!

updates - fixing my laptop...

Hello! I've had some issues with my laptop lately, and while I've had the issues fixed, I'm still working on switching over many things, including some software....like Photoshop! Sad to say I won't have my Friday's Fancies tomorrow, but will pick up with it asap! This is just an update in case my posts aren't as usual as they normally are for lil' bit. Any questions, just comment or email me. :)

The strawberry photo doesn't have anything to do with this post. I just thought they were pretty! Haha.

little loves this week

Little loves this week:

Cadbury Milk Chocolate Bar

Creamy, chocolately, goodness. So so so good and the perfect study break snack. Worth every bite, worth being an exception of eating paleo....

Organic, cage-free eggs with sliced avocado and tomatoes

My lunch almost every day this week. Avocado on pretty much any food makes it taste 100x better.

My new peplum dress

YAY! I wrote about it/wore it yesterday. So happy I was able to go back to H&M and find it in my size!

Thai Dinner

My media law class went to a Thai food restaurant with our professor tonight. Not only was the food delicious, but the professor was so nice and bought us appetizers and dessert! It was a fun way to chat and get to know each other outside of class.

Weekend

It starts tomorrow. I. Am. So. Ready. For. The. Weekend. #FinalsAreUponUs

updates and nikes

1. I put a Bloglovn' button up! You can find it on the right-hand column. I've been a part of Bloglovin' for months now, but I never linked to it from here. Which doesn't make much sense. Haha. Soooo if you'd like to subscribe over at Bloglovin', click here!

2. I need help deciding which color Nikes I should get! I'm getting a pair of cross trainers for Zumba and other workouts (running shoes are so not good for my feet in Zumba). I need your help! My running shoes are hot pink, so I feel like the purple pair might be too much, but then again, I do love purple...right now my friends are saying purple. But also, the black and green are Zumba's main colors. Both are the same type of shoe and same price, on sale for $75 at Zappos. Hmmm....

So after I choose which pair, I should also go take a class on how to be less indecisive. "Decision-making 101." Yes. That would be nice.

3. Found these lovely Dolce Vita sandals at Nordstrom yesterday! I wasn't planning on buying sandals - I need a pair of wedges more than anything - but I really like these. The turquoise color looks beautiful with the gold accents. Originally $70, got them for $36! AND the "name" of the shoe is Archer. What a find. ;)

I can see these looking good with white denim and sundresses this summer!

4. I haven't been posting as regularly this month so far - I'm sowwyyy. I have a lot going on right now, plus, it is midterms week. Hopefully I'll be back to regular posting soon. Just as soon as I stop procrastinating this essay...

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
