I blame the lack of blogposts on my crazy projects, reports and upcoming exams. As comforting as it is to know that I'm on summer break after my exam next week, I've got way too much that needs to be done before that and it takes all the comfort away - if there was any in the first place. Can't we just fast-forward a few days instead? Now that would've been something..

 

The picture above describes my study-sessions perfectly (although it was taken a few weeks ago). Cute pens and ice-cold smoothies makes everything ten times better. And I've got a slight obsession with writing everything down on blank papers; great for summarizing a course (could do an entire post about that since it's gotten me through this entire year!). 

 

Best wishes to all you exam-studying beauties!

There's something about fresh colorful flowers that always pick me up whenever I need to. Just looking at them make me increadible happy! Maybe that's because they're one of my favorite flowers. So majestic, feminine and beautiful - love them!

Flowers, sun and heat - summer is officially here!

I had the most amazing weekend with gorgeous ladies - celebrating my sister and my cousin since their birthdays are two days apart. So we decided to celebrate them together - like old twins (movie reference).

Virgin mojitos, chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate meringue goodies and a candy centerpiece were among the things that made their way to our stomaches. Well, not including the cake or the delicious pizzas - totally had way too much food. 

 

The best part? We were in our pj's! (sexy pj's must be added - hello kimonos ;) ) So now I wish that everyone have pj-friendly parties - seriously most comfortable thing in the world! 

 

This weekend was stuffed with parties, late nights and early mornings. Although it was fun, it's about time to get to reality and check the overflowing inbox, haha alright, maybe not overflowing. But it's about time to study for finals - summer is only three weeks away! (Including the wedding and graduation weekends - have I found dresses? No. Last minute - per usual).

 

I hope you girls had a great weekend and went out in the ah-mazing sun - can we all pause for a moment and re-live those sunny (2) days?

I attended a beautiful wedding by the beach this weekend (read; the venue was by the beach). 

 

Since I was afraid of being last minute with the outfit; I had placed an order for a dress a month (or two) before. The dress was beautiful and I even found jewelry to go with it (I had been hunting for the perfect necklace until I finally found one). 

 

Being me, I tried everything on two days before - you can probably guess the scenario. The dress looked great, but being a pants-girl, I was a bit uncomfortable. So I decided (along with the united fronts as known as my sister and mom) to save the dress for something else (it's a very plain and simple dress that could be worn to the beach). 

 

The following day - the day before the wedding - I went to the mall with other unfortunate, indesisive girls (haha, I'm joking). Knowing what I was looking for, I went straight in, grabbed it, and left (well, not so gracefully, but you get the picture). 

 

Long story short; I'll never seize in being a last-minute person (only when it comes to outfits though - hopefully). But you should never do something that doesn't feel right, because in the end; life's too short to do something you don't want to or feel uncomfortable in doing. Embrace life and embrace yourself to grow into the person you wish to become.
