This Sunday, two of my best friends and I went to the Alex Goot and Friends concert! It was a blast and we got to meet everyone who performed! (Well, except for Alex Goot because you had to have a VIP pass which we did not have.) They all sang so well and were super nice when we got to meet them. Here are some pictures from the concert and meet and greet!

Oh boy. So this whole week, and the one before it for that matter, have been quite crazy. One of my best friends got married yesterday, as I have mentioned in previous posts, and the week leading up to the wedding was filled with preparations! First off, I was the maid of honor so I had a ton of stuff to do, and secondly, she’s my neighbor so I was over at her house getting her property ready, since it was being held in her yard (we all live on acreage and she has a beautiful, big back yard). All in all it was an insane week! Sorry I haven’t been able to post a lot lately!
Even though it was extremely busy, it was also a lot of fun. I am so happy for the newlywed couple but it was definitely bittersweet: they are moving (well as of this morning have moved) to California! I have basically grown up with her so it was so hard to say goodbye. I know that they will have great fun there, though. And cell phones make it very convenient to call anytime!
Goodbyes are just so hard for me! I get pretty emotional when it’s with someone who I have known for a long time. She is basically my sister so it was that much more difficult. I teared up a lot! And one of the things I dislike the most is crying in front of people so I felt so exposed. Haha but so many people were crying so it was okay.
Well, I just wanted to do a little check in and let you guys know where in the world I have been. I am now going to go pass out for, like, twelve hours and then do nothing for a day! Hope you all have a great week! (: I will make sure to post more this week!

So I have been extremely busy this past week! I am the maid of honor for one of my best friends and her wedding is coming up next Saturday. The date has suddenly snuck up us, so we have been quite busy! Today I am posting pictures of my whole outfit that I wore for the bridal shower this afternoon. It was actually pretty cool and breezy until about three o’clock today so I didn’t want to wear a strapless dress like I had originally planned, so, naturally, that resulted in a frantic raid through my closet to find something suitable for the weather. The result was this look:
I am actually pretty happy with what I came up with! It was comfortable and not too heavy or light so I was the perfect temperature all day. The jean vest is American Rag and I got it from Macy’s, the shirt (it has a floral print on it but it’s hard to tell in the picture) is from Nordstrom, and the skirt is from Charlotte Russe. I love how the yellow flowers on the shirt pick up the color from the skirt; it makes it all fit together very nicely. Here is a closer look at my jewelry:
The little bracelet is actually a gift from one of my friends. I believe she bought it in California but I don’t know where specifically. The earrings and the necklace are both from Forever 21. I wanted to go for something edgier that still had a girly vibe so I thought these were perfect!
Let me know what you think! (:

So the other night I decided to paint my toenails, but I didn’t want just a plain color because that’s what I always do! So I decided I would put simple polka-dots over a baby blue color called “bikini so teeny” by Essie. Here’s a picture of how they turned out…
I really love how the white and blue go together and it’s a nice change from just one plain color! I used the white nail art pen from Sally Hanson to do the little polka-dots. I did try to have a method to putting on the polka-dots but sometimes it was a little hard to keep a straight line. And my pinky toe nail is basically nonexistent so I just kind of haphazardly dotted the edge! Overall, I’m happy with how they turned out!

So yesterday I had my senior picture photo shoot! It was a lot fun. We went down to a creek that goes through my family and neighbor’s property and took some pretty pictures. We also went up to my neighbors barn/pasture to take pictures with their horses! It was a lot of fun, especially since I love horses. We also took pictures of me with my jeep! That was awesome, I absolutely love my jeep.
I just can’t believe that I had my senior pictures done; I’m the youngest in my family so it is so surreal that it’s finally my turn to go through my senior year of high school. I remember when my brother was a senior and I just couldn’t believe it – I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Now that it’s my turn, I just can’t wait to be done with high school!
I plan on posting some pictures once the photographer (a family friend of ours, she’s super sweet and is fantastic at what she does) hands the photos over to us. So stay tuned! I’m super excited to see how they turned out, and I love the outfits I wore. It was also a really nice day, so it couldn’t have gotten any better. Unless of course Taylor Lautner or Jack and Finn Harries showed up 😉
And tomorrow I am going to my really great friend’s, more of an older sister, last wedding dress fitting before her wedding! I am her Maid of Honor, and her wedding is July 27th! I am so excited, but also a little sad because she’s moving after her wedding. But she is transferring to a great college with her fiance so I’m really happy for her! We’ll still be able to talk on the phone and text so it won’t be too bad. But she’s my neighbor as well so it’ll be a little weird without seeing her everyday! Oh well, pretty soon, it will, yet again, be my turn to go off to college!
