Fearless Fourteen: March 31- April 6

March 31: Getting ready for Sexual Assault Awareness Month by hanging these bows on parking meters around town. 

April 1: It is finally front porch weather! Some tunes, sunshine, and a good book and I am one happy gal! 

April 2: This lovely lady is back for a little bit! Which means we go to karaoke night (and take selfies). 

April 3: I really love this movie. Not as much at the book, but still...Ian. Am I right? 

April 4: We took a field trip to the most amazing Christian bookstore ever. The guy who owns it is hilarious and inspiring! I could have went a little overboard, but I left with a Jane Austen devotional and "Faith Unraveled" - which I started and is awesome. 

April 5: Church rummage sales get me every time. 

April 6: Melanie is the cutest. She left this adorable vintage scarf in the lovely shoes that my friend Hannah gave me, because my birthday is coming up and it matched. I have such amazing friends.

Fearless Fourteen: March 25-30

Hey peeps!

I just realized that this was supposed to be posted late Sunday night, but it never did for some reason? And this week has just been completely crazy, I didn't even notice. (Can you tell that graduation is getting closer?) Anyway, just grab a time machine and travel back to Sunday night. Thanks. 

Hope that everyone had a stellar weekend - I had a blast, getting a weekend away at my friend's house. Lots of chocolate, giggles, movies, and thrifting. 

But, alas, it is back to the grind tomorrow. 

And again, I have been a bad blogger - and haven't posted this past week. I will get better. Maybe? Possibly? One of these days? Hey, summer is coming! oh gosh, summer is coming - that sentence just created the deer in the headlights look. #seniorproblems.

But, I do have a stellar, amazing, and lets just say supermegafoxyawesomehot post coming. I was going to post it on Friday, but I was watching the old 'Airplane' movie (wasn't impressed) really late with my housemates and wasn't making much sense. And this post is so great I want it to be perfect. No pressure, Laura. 

So, keep your eyes peeled for that this week and enjoy these little snippets of my week. 

March 24: These things are so addicting. 

March 25: A book I'm reading for a paper I need to do. It is really good; it helps when you read something interesting for homework. 

March 26: I had a long day. Oreos were on sale. Coincidence? I think not. 

March 27: My lovely friend Alexa having a cookies and milk date with me. 

March 28: what do most 20 something's do when they have a weekend away from school and work? I don't know about most, but we play the newest Nancy Drew video game. 

March 29: snatched these beauties up at the my friend's local Goodwill. You know what that means Melmac Monday is coming your way! (And yes in my head that sounded like MotorMouth Maybelle. No shame.) 

March 30: Bridal shower day for one of my lovely housemates! I actually tied for second place! (Oh, the answer to #2 is a joke; my pals and I said if we didn't know the answer, we would put 'Jesus,' because who can say that is wrong?) ;) 

Fearless Fourteen: March 17-23

Hey everyone, 

This weekend has been pretty crazy, but wonderful! I traveled from work, to Shippensburg for a friend's birthday party, and then home for my siblings' birthday dinner. So many birthdays! Anyway, here is a glimpse of my last week!

March 17: These lovely flowers were on our table. 

March 18: I thrifted this amazing pin - so perfect for me! 

March 19: This Instagram shot of my lovely campus.

March 20: Packing, packing, packing.

March 21: Bath bombs shaped like cupcakes = the cutest. 

March 22: Lauren and Hannah looking amazing and sparkly at Hannah's birthday party!

March 23: This is the pattern on my home comforter - it is one of my favorites.

Keep It Positive!

Hey hey there everyone!

This is an outfit that I wore a little bit ago as you can still see snow on the ground which is no longer there (hallelujah!) I really like this dress - I got it from a consignment shop when I was in New York City last year when I was in Spring Break, so it has a lot of good memories attached to it. 

How are you lately? Honestly, I have been feeling a little anxious this past week. I feel like graduation is looming over my head.  Plus, I haven't been feeling well lately - I've been getting a lot of headaches and being highly tired lately. And whenever, that is happening I tend to let my past insecurities come back and effect me. 

But, this is not the start of a pity-party or to ask for sympathies (although, that being said, I always appreciate everyone's support). However, I don't think that it is a stretch to think that we have all been there: stressed, worn-out, and/or confused. 

So, something that I like to do when I'm having a bad day like this is think about some things that made me smile or laugh recently. Here goes:

- My cousin and have been using some really nerdy expletives lately such as, "What the Faulkner?," "Slaughterhouse Five," and "Wuthering Heights." 

- The other night, I was watching Glee Season 1 and my housemate walked in eating some Sunchips. I started singing to her in a dramatic manner...for a good three minutes before she noticed. Someone was a little engrossed in her chips. 

- I get to go visit some lovely ladies this weekend and I'm super pumped. 

- I have been reading "The Host" and I just love getting lost in a fabulous book. 

- My post title made me think of this hilarious song; I loved this musical. The songs were just so catchy and they remind me of singing them in gym class in high school with my bestie (yeah, we were those girls.)

So, the next time you may be feeling down, it might help to jot down a couple of positives; to really see the great things going on in your life. 

Welp, I'm off to pack for the weekend. Have a fantastic night! 

Dress - H&M - Buffalo Exchange

Sweater/Tights - Thrifted

Necklace - Giveaway Win

Boots - Christmas Gift - Kohl's

Belt - Inherited 

Hoops - Thrifted (.50 - they came with another pair, so they were basically 2 for $1).

Fearless Fourteen: March 10-16

Hey hey everyone!

This post is going to be pretty short and sweet mostly because I am exhausted.  I traveled back to school today and there is something about driving that just wears a girl out. 

And the fact that I'm turning into an old lady and need to be in bed by 11 pm apparently. Probably a good thing since spring break is over and I need to be up for work at 6:45 tomorrow. 

Shoot, I should probably set my alarms. I really loved the fact that I didn't have to do that for the past eight or so days. Oh well - I really like my internship, so I'm just going to look on the bright side.

Sweet dreams, all! 

March 10: My only "homework" for the week. 

March 11: I thrifted these lovely Pyrex salt and pepper shakers for only $1.30! I had never seen anything like them before and didn't really know what they were at first - but you can bet I knew that pattern! ;) You can get your own on Ebay here.

March 13: We had a rainstorm. I know this picture looks a little bland, but it was sure lovely to see something come from the sky that wasn't heavy and white. And the rain smell sure was lovely!

March 14: Details of the new jacket I thrifted. (Available on clearance here)

March 15: I love this book. If you haven't read it you should. I know that it is Stephenie Meyer and she gets a bad rap for writing "Twilight," but seriously, this book is great. My friend and I watched the movie and it made me want to read the book again - probably about the tenth time. 

March 15: A little Instagram selfie of my nephew dog, Abe. You can follow me on Instagram; there will probably be a lot of doggy selfies to come!

March 16: Home sweet messy home.

Gushing about Cigarette Pants and Ranting About Juan Pablo

Hey there everyone! 

I hope that everyone has had a fabulous week so far. 

I have been spring breaking it up. And that has included:

- Relaxing at home

- Catching up on the Bachelor. 
 Can I just interject and use my cousin's nerdy expletive - What the Faulkner! Juan Pablo - seriously? I know that the show is completely ridiculous, but it is such a fantastic guilty pleasure. But, JUAN PABLO? I can't. Even so many days later, I have no words. Well, I do, but I don't know how blog appropriate they are. This Tumblr post is pretty accurate though, painfully so. Sheesh. Here's to hoping that Andi is a much better Bachelorette. 

-Thrifting, of course! I got to visit one of my favorite places at home - every Monday they have all their clothes, shoes, purses, etc. 50% off. My friends have gotten used to me declaring that "half off day is the best day!" I got these Audrey Hepburn style cigarette pants there over the summer for $1. And I love them; they are so comfortable and fit perfectly. 

- Causing scenes with my cousin (mostly that involves laughing to the point of not breathing in public places.)

-Figuring out what I'm doing with the rest of my life (really the four months after graduation). 

- Plus, I'm going out with my main gal pal, Maggie! People better watch out - because you won't find two classier broads around 

All in all spring break has been pretty stellar. 

Now, if I could find the motivation to finish a paper that is due when I get back. Yeah, not likely to happen tonight. 

Happy Friday everyone! 

Shirt//Belt//Necklace//Purse//Hat - Thrifted 

Shoes - Fergalicious by Fergie - Thrifted ($1.50) - exact ones here

Vintage Cigarette Pants - Thrifted ($1.00) 

Vintage bracelets - Thrifted ($.50 each)

I have been keeping a "thrifting inventory" of my items; basically where I got them and what I paid for them. I have been thinking about putting prices (like above) after the items that I know what I paid for. I find it fun to see what other people are paying for their clothes via thrifting. What do you think?

A Room with a View

Happy Monday, all! 

I hope you are having a stellar start to your week! My day was pretty grand; it consisted of half off day (aka the best day) at my favorite thrift store, PA Dutch chicken potpie, and seeing my brothers. So, all in all a pretty good day! 

Today I thought I would share with you some shots I took a little bit ago of my room up at school. We rent so, some things I can't really control, like carpet and what not, but I tried to make it as home-y as possible. It is one of my favorite places! 

A lot of the things in my room are thrifted (obviously). My Pride and Prejudice and 500 Days of Summer boards were made my cousin. My desk and dresser are family heirlooms. If you are curious about anything else, feel free to ask! 

 Have a great Monday night, everyone!

xoxo, 

Laura
