memorial day weekend recap.

memorial day weekend recap.

I. Cinnabon at a New Jersey rest stop.

who can resist the hot melty sweet icing-y goodness of a CINNABON?! NO ONE. that's who.

which is why i ate it in about....two minutes. i scalded my tongue. it was worth it.

II. group photo #1 out of #203924.

just kidding. we didn't take that many. okay. we did. sort of. don't judge.

i had to set the self timer and put my camera on top of a television.

improvising. i'm good at that.

outfit details (on me): aztec print dress - forever 21 // flipflops - old navy

III. had awesome seafood.

1. awesome sign.

2. crab & shrimp cake sandwich. SO DELICIOUS.

3. blue potato chip.

4. happy because i'm about to have some lunch.

or maybe because i had some alcohol.

maybe.

IV. went on a ferris wheel.

saw the beach from the ferris wheel.

felt safer because if the ferris wheel broke down, we would fall onto sand.

less impact = less splatter = less dead.

V. got sundaes.

funnel fries (like funnel cake but fry form), chocolate icecream, butter

pecan icecream, vanilla icecream, whipped cream, fudge, caramel,

banana, cherry, a billion calories but who cares.

oh and a funny sign warning you about seagull attacks.

funny story: we walked out of the store with our sundaes to go back to our hotel

and when my friend walks a little away from us, seagulls start to circle around

her, trying to divebomb for her food. note to everyone: don't mess with seagulls.

VI. saw my worst fear by the pool

fun fact about julia: i have a fear of birds.

i hate birds. so much. especially pigeons. they're the devil.

VII. FUNNEL CAKE!!!!!

i asked for extra sugar.

VIII. amusement park at night.

IX. brunch omg brunch!!

my favorite meal of the day.

bacon, feta & spinach omelet, homefries, rye bread, white bread.

X. went to the beach

thought an octopus tried to kill me...it was just my friend's arm. 

we got assaulted by the waves. no, more like domestically abused.

seriously. it was fun, though. also, sand gets everywhere. EVERYWHERE.

on me: bathing suit from Polo Ralph Lauren

XI. saw interesting things at a candy store.

 So over Memorial Day weekend, I got to spend a weekend away with my friends in Wildwood, NJ! It's sort of Jersey's version of Coney Island, except with better rides and a nicer beach. Seriously. My friend almost stepped into a used needle at Coney Island. Not to say that it's really that bad, but it's still sketchy. Really sketchy. But it was just a great start to the summer. It was definitely some much needed R&R after studying (just kidding) all year long. I hope everyone's having a great start to their summer (or almost summer, if you're in school, or end of summer if you're on the other side of the world -- like Australia)!

Hopefully I'll have an actual outfit post soon. Or something. It's way too hot lately. I might just go nude...just kidding.

LOVELOVE, JULIA.

november, december

I know it's only been five months of blogging, but this is a serious milestone for me, you guys! I've always started up blogs, but I never really stuck with them. After about a week, I'd always die off. But so far, this blog has become my little (sometimes neglected) baby. I love looking back at the months that past and going, "I forgot I had that item in my closet!" or "I have no idea what to wear today, so I'll just rewear this outfit...again...for the fiftieth time!"

Good news is that I found my old glasses while I was just rummaging around the house today! I know, they're really granny-like and they do nothing for my face, but I LOVE THEM. And this is what I wear on the weekends, haha! Well, today, specifically (even though there are people coming over and I should really get dressed into something better than my PJs). A Looney Tunes sweatshirt and PJ bottoms! I know, it's so "in" right now. I should be in Vogue...JUST KIDDING.


I figured that I have about three resolutions for 2011. I mean, resolutions should be realistic and something that gets you motivated - mentally, emotionally, or even physically, haha. So, mine are:

1. Be more consistent with my blogging/outfits. That means updating more instead of waiting for a lazy day at home to finally write a post.
2. Start and complete a 365 Day project on my Flickr. (Which will basically be one photo for one day for one year!)
3. Read more! I used to be able to read about 20 books in a month, but that's dwindled down to about...zero books a month, haha, excluding all the reading I do for school. I really miss reading and I know I might be the only one who thinks this but I don't really like the whole ebooks thing. I think to really fully appreciate and enjoy the whole act of reading is to be able to hold a book and flip the pages and smell the smell of books! I know, poor trees. :(

So, what are your resolutions for the new year?
