A makeup bag covered in cupcakes that Kayla made for me for Christmas.
2 disposable cameras from my trip to NYC. I should probably develop those, eh?
My two favorite pairs of sunglasses, from Target of course!
My plethora of Target name tags.
My iPod.
Vera Badley wallet.
The most amazing lotion ever. Sea Island Cotton, from Bath and Body Works. It smells like summer, guys.
My car keys.
Aaaaaand some bright yellow N.Y.C. nail polish. I cheated on Essie, but Essie doesn't have such a wonderful hue of yellow. I'M SORRY.
I'm off to bed, because I have to be to work at 4:30 tomorrow morning. Agh, definitely not looking forward to that! And it's going to stay this way for the rest of the month! Please hurry yourself, May! Anywho, I'll be back tomorrow with day 4!So long! xoxo
Oh hello, friends. I have a new obsession. And her name is Lykke Li. Ugh. Perfection. It seems like I have a lot of obsessions. Do I care? Not really, no. On a completely unrelated note (my blog posts are random. this one is going to jump around. forgive me.) I'm sick. I have a fever. A FEVER. Let me tell you, I never get fevers. Never. I could be deathly ill and puking all over the place (sorry for the lovely image) and I will still have a below average temperature. So when I tell you I have a fever, do not take it with a grain of salt. This is serious business, I tell you! So being the sickly little girl I am, I stopped after school and got myself a strawberry milkshake from Steak&Shake. Heaven in a styrofoam cup. I want a billion more. This was pointless to tell you. But it made my day better, muchly.
Being sick gets a big ole thumbs down from this girl.
Also, only 7 more classes until summer! Eeeek! I don't know where this semester went, but it can stay there. Seriously. I can't wait until next semester where I'm taking classes like French and Philosophy, that I know I will actually enjoy. People call me Sophie 'Pocket Protector' Newman. Well, not really. But they should. I'm the loser who gets excited over new pencils, taking notes, and getting homework. Yeah. Okay, now that I've sufficiently wasted everyone's time with this post, let me show you the wonderfulness that is Lykke Li. Maybe that will make this count as a real blog post? Maybe. Or maybe this is the most pointless blog post in the history of blog posts. I would go with the latter.
I threw in some Florence for good measure.
Guys, I like weird music. Okay, I'm off to go be a sick person some more! And by that I mean, pop cough drops like they're candy (good thing you can't OD on those things.), watch Scrubs, and wallow in self pity! Hurrah!
pea.es. I'll be back later tonight with day three of my 30 Day Blog Challenge! I know, two posts from me in ONE DAY! You lucky ducks.
Before I get into it, I just want to clear one thing up because I get asked ALL the time. In my case, Sophie is not short for Sophia. I'm just Sophie. And frankly, I think it's awesome. I don't know too many people who are called Sophie and it's not short for Sophia. Anywho, on to the nicknames! (there are a billion, and I'm sorry for that.)
- Soph. This is the most common nickname of all. For reasons that are obvious, I'm sure.
- Sofa.
- Couch. (Sofa on a variation, I suppose.)
- Sofa Lofa.
- Loaf.
- Meatloaf.
- Soapie Bath. My middle name is Beth. Sophie Beth. Soapie Bath. I'm sure you can see the train of thought here.
- Mophie. Don't even ask, because I'm not sure either.
- Baby Raja. I was a very large baby.
- Miss Piggy. See above.
- Carrot Top.
- Fifi.
- S-money. This is popular amongst my homies on the streets of downtown St. Louis. Duh.
- Homophie. The loveliest from my sister.
- Hophie. Sister again.
- Slowphie. Sister, once more.
oh, and when my younger brother was a wee little boy and just learning names, my older brother, Cory, was bubby, Chelsey was sissy, and I was...wait for it... girl. Yep, my little brother referred to me simply as "Girl." I feel so loved.
And now, a playlist for your listening pleasure. These are some songs that I've been COMPLETELY obsessed with lately. No need to thank me.
Hello, pretties! So, today I'm starting something really exciting. Well, exciting in my eyes at least. Can you say 30 day blog challenge? Wheeeee! I've been seeing these things floating around the blogosphere for the longest time, so I thought I'd try my hand at it. Here we go!
Day one: 15 interesting facts about me, and a recent picture.
Okay, to start off... there's a recent picture of my little brother and I. Oh, how sweet that little boy is and how crazy I look! I don't know, is February recent? I'm just going to go with... yeah, it's recent.
15 Random Facts, yeaaaah!
1. I'm vegetarian. 3 days ago was my two year 'vegiversary!' I was vegan for about 8 months of those two years. It's really not as hard as people think. The only reason that I'm not vegan right now is because I love cheese and gelato way too much. WAY too much. I'm a vegetarian with vegan tendencies, as Miss Amanda would say.
2. I'm what some would call a music snob. I just call it extremely good taste. I normally am not a fan of "mainstream" music. Not because it's mainstream and I'm trying to be "cool", but just because it's usually not my style. However, One Direction and Taylor Swift are my exceptions/guilty pleasures. except I'm not so guilty about it. They're perfection.
3. I'm a walking accident. Seriously, I need to be put in a bubble. Once, I exclaimed that I had to locate the nearest hospital, because whenever I'm in a new place I NEED to know where one is. Just in case. Ask Kayla. So. many. injuries. In the weirdest possible ways, too.
5. I play ze violin. And oh, how I love it.
6. Speaking of violin, classical music is probably my favorite type of music. I'm weird like that.
7. I'm a walking, talking Harry Potter encyclopedia. Anyone who knows me, knows this. I'm starting to become the same way with the Hunger Games, too. Uh oh.
8. I like animals better than people. Especially cats. Meow.
9. I am OBSESSED with vintage things. My closet is filled with vintage dresses and shirts these days, and it makes me so happy. :)
10. My sister Chelsey and I have a freakish bond that could never be replicated. We read each other's minds and it's really weird. In a good way. Well, good for us. Not so much for other people. Like her husband...
11. I have a LOT of pet peeves, but these three are my biggest: improper grammar, people who chew with their mouth open and/or chew loudly (UGH), and people who act differently according to which group of people they're with. Can you say manipulative?
12. I have 8 pairs of TOMS. You could say I'm a tad bit obsessed.
13. I am deathly afraid of styrofoam. We'll save that story for another blog post though.
14.I have two favorite colors: yellow and mint green. I'm also quite partial to anything peach.
15. I have the craziest, curliest hair. But I wish it was straight. Oh sigh. But I know if it was straighty straight, I would wish it was curly. Such a catch 22.
So there you have it! Day one finished, twenty-nine more to go! I'll see you guys back here tomorrrow! xoxo
-going to class at 9 in the morning in the cloudy, cold weather.
-curling up on the couch and watching black and white movies on Netflix.
-a spur of the moment Whole Foods Market lunch date with my mama.
-fantasizing about summer and sundresses.
-snacking on edamame.
- laundry...( I say that, but it probably won't happen. I have b&w movies to watch, darn it!)
-dreaming about all of the pretty things on my birthday list. I know 19 is a really insignificant age to turn, but I don't even care! I'm still excited.
Today was an unbelievably dreary day, and I was not expecting that at all. I walk out of the house this morning in a t-shirt and the comfiest shorts ever (my school attire,always) only to be hit with a wall of rain and cold. I was SO not expecting that. I couldn't even turn around to change because I was already running late (a common occurrence for me.) In short, I had to brave the cold and the rain and it was awful. And now I'm wrapping myself up in quilts, drinking tea, and listening to Fleet Foxes for the rest of the day.
on a completely random note, check out the sweet ring my sister got me.
My finger has a mustache. A fingerstache.
