zions national park.

{We stopped by a little ghost town on our way to zions national park.}

Here are some pictures from my trip to St. George that I took over the long weekend with my friend and her family. One of the days we hiked Angels Landing in Zions National Park and it was absolutely gorgeous! I loved it and if any of you have the chance to hike it, please do!

Coming here to Utah I definitely had a negative attitude because one) I had to leave home earlier than I thought I would and two) I’ve never really liked Utah to be honest. I thought the mountains were ugly and brown because I was used to the green forests of Oregon. Except since coming here I’ve definitely have had a change of heart {and i really think taking geology had to do with this!}. All during the hike I marveled and couldn’t get over how beautiful the mountains and the views were. It was incredible!

This is the conclusion I came to, it’s a total different kind of beauty – the beauty that is in Utah and the beauty that is in Oregon.  That you can’t even compare the two.

Happy weekend my loves.

feeling a little…

{Shirt & Jeans: h&m; Shoes: Thrifted}

I kinda felt a little  retro and a little like this girl with my head scarf and high waisted pants and all. Can I just say that these jeans are my new favorite pants in the entire world? A little dramatic yes, but true. One) the were inexpensive and two) they make my booty look cute which is always a plus.

Have a great day!

may the odds be ever in your favor.

I know I’m one of the last people to read the Hunger Games but have you read them? If not, seriously you need to read it right this second.

My roommate gave me the book for my half birthday a couple of weeks ago {who doesn’t celebrate their half birthday….} because she really wanted me to read it so we could go see the movie together, which I am SOOO excited for. Yeah I’ve definitely watched the trailer one to many times. Also, I am a very firm believer in reading the book before you go see the movie, plus, the book is always better!

So I totally read it in two days over the long weekend, started it Sunday morning and finished it Monday night. When I get really into books I literally cannot set them down and then I get so passionate and emotionally invested that I kinda get depressed when it’s over…lets be honest, we are all like this! But good thing there are two more books in the series!!

Happy Monday!

long or short hair.

Sometimes I have this impulse to chop off all my hair. I hate doing my hair, 1) It takes too long and 2) I’m not good at it.

Remember when my hair when I first started this blog? Yeah and I have been trying to grow it out ever since.

I’ve always wanted long luscious hair but I don’t think that will ever happen….sad. But looking back on my short hair, I kind of miss it, to be honest.

hmmmm……maybe this summer…. I guess we’ll see!

a nice long weekend.

Well I had a very nice long weekend, how about you?

I spent some time down in St. George with friends and went hiking and enjoyed time getting out of town. A change of scenery is always nice. I will hopefully have pictures soon of the hike! It was so gorgeous.

Yes, I am still pulling out outfit pictures from winter break…

i thank you.

You know what the worst thing a TV addict can ask for? Recommendations.

Yeah horrible idea. My TV watching was kind of ridiculous before, now it is about to get OUT. OF. CONTROL. I blame netflix and addicting TV shows.

But thank you for all your recommendations! I loved reading about what shows you love.

Well I am peacing out for the long weekend!

See you on the flip side.

recommendations?

These pictures were taken on a classic Oregon winter day – gloomy, don’t think the sun even came out once, most likely rained for a very long period of time, and was pretty chilly.

So I finished Grey’s Anatomy the other day and netflix only has until season 7 and I can’t start watching season 8 now because they are in the middle of the season! I know, I have a very hard life…

So, what shows do you recommend?

My best friend from home said I should start watching How I Met Your Mother. She says it’s pretty funny.

crrrraaaazzzyyy.

hello crazies. how are you this fine day?

Boy, oh boy! School started up again last week and it has been CRRRAAAAZZZYYY! My days are long and by the end I am tuckered out! and all I want to do when I get back is climb in bed and watch some grey’s anatomy. But it will be good, i hope…

I promise I will get back to normal posting…sorry it’s been a little funky!

adios amigos!

deep loves.

You call them addictions, I call them deep loves.

1. Portland

my home, and always will be.

2. Coke

I can chug this stuff like a frat boy can chug beer. no joke.

3. Netlflix

I waste so much time watching shows on netflix. The latest show I can’t stop watching is Grey’s Anatomy. SOO good.

4. Painted Nails

This is a new deep love. Since one of my good friends here at college loves to paint nails, there is no reason for these babies to go naked.

What are your deep loves?

2012.

{Jacket: f21; Sweater & Button up: h&m; Pants: Levi’s; Shoes: Target}

2012 is the year of being BOLD.

This year I want….

to be bold in deciding what I want to major in.

to be bold and start learning french.

to be bold in moving forward, and not dwelling on the past.

to be bold in figuring out who I am and who I want to be.

to be bold in being more confident

There are many other smaller things that I want to be bold in doing this year, these are only a few.

I know that the things I want to accomplish will take more than 2012 but I want to make a bold start.

What are some things you want to accomplish or start doing this year?
