introducing...

a bespectacled boyfriend. isn't he slightly really precious?

get used to seeing him around here.

"guess why I smile a lot? uh. cause it's worth it."

No, this is not an illusion... I'M BACK! I guess I sort of took an impromptu blogging break for a little while there. It was much, much needed, I think. And now I'm back feeling rejuvenated and oh so inspired! Now that school has started and I'm finished working at Target (cue chorus music... CAN I GET A HALLELUJAH?) I'm hoping to get back into the groove of my beloved blog, and come up with a consistent blog schedule.

Enough of that boring stuff though. I'm sure you're all on the edge of your seats thinking... "SOPHIE, PLEASE TELL US WHAT YOU'VE BEEN UP TO? WE'RE DYING TO KNOW."

Oh thank you for asking, inquisitive reader!

I've been crafting, I spent much time with Allie and Kayla before they left for school ( insert pool day here), earning moneys at Treats Unleashed, spending said moneys I just earned on pretty, unneeded (totally needed) things, thrifting, and spending time with my BOYFRAN. Yeah, I acquired one of those while I was in the land of not the interwebs (is that called real life?). Cats everywhere are crying over their loss of a crazy cat lady. I HAVE BEEN REFORMED! Not really. Not at all. Cats are still my best friends.

ANYWHO, that's just a nice little overview of life as of late. I've been so preoccupied, but I plan on getting reacquainted with my bespectacled blog. It's definitely becoming a priority again.

I'm leaving you with the cutest darn video ever...

I'll have another blog post later tonight, introducing a certain someone! Farewell, until then!

some words.

"Being tender and open is beautiful. As a woman, I feel continually shhh’ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah. Don’t let someone steal your tenderness. Don’t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things. Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep, feel it all – look around you. All of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love."

Tomorrow, I will have a reaaaaal post about what I've been up to lately.

a hint of mint.

It is no secret that I am absolutely obsessed with anything and everything mint green. My laptop is mint green. My nails are currently mint green. I have both a mint green pair of shorts AND pair of pants. Aaaaand I also have a mint green purse. I have a real problem. But at least it's a pretty problem... that counts for something, right?!
ANYWAYS, I've compiled a plethora of my faaaaaave mint green things from around ze interwebs, and duh I'm going to share it!

I need a mint green bike in my life. Like, yesterday. And those flowers!
I swoon! 

This is the prettiest church I ever did lay my eyes on.

Mint green  glasses. I'm pretty sure we can all agree I desperately need these bad boys.

My closet needs this lovely little outfit.

I would be a roller skating fiend.

 Obviously, I am in need of a new pair of minty kicks. OBVIOUSLY.

And that's that for minty goodness! I hope everyone has a lurvely, super fantastic mint green filled weekend.


**it all links back here!

i never know what I'm talking about.

Hello, lovelies! I'm back after an unexpected blog hiatus. I was feeling uninspired in the blogging department this week. Plus, it's really hard to do anything but sleep when you have two jobs, I'm coming to realize. However, I only have one week left at Target. I'm nothing but excited about this. Sorry, Target. (I'm not really sorry.)

Anyways, I'M BACK! This week was a very crafty week for me. I made a flower crown, I jazzed up an old pair of shoes, and I made a skirt (pictures to come)! One down on my 25 before 20 list, 24 more to go! Eek! Also, it was Harry Potter's 32nd birthday yesterday... so I mean. I was celebrating, of course.

On another note, SCHOOL STARTS SOON! AHHHH! No one understands how excited for this I am. Oh school supply shopping, you are my favorite. I need to dig out my pocket protector. (I'm totally kidding. Maybe I'm not.)

On another another note, I had this awesome post about Chick-Fil-A all formulated in my head. And then my sister wrote exactly what I was thinking in a post of her own. Basically, we share a brain. And she says it better than I would have. Enjoy!

I realize this is a post about... nothing. I will have a somewhat interesting (more interesting than this) post soon, pinkie promise!

This is so perfect, I can't even handle it. I love how into the music Jade gets. You can tell she's just really...feeling it.
