hot hot hot

My swamp cooler still hasn't been fixed, and the Ariz. heat is killin me! Not having a cell phone is/was killing me too. I just got it, literally, just got it in the mail... expedited! I went out to the market to buy some ice, who would think, that through the whole day, the A/C guy came in that 30-minute time frame? Missed him again... so excuse my hair and no make-up, since my sweat keeps melting any make-up I have on, off. I know, I look like a hott-mess :(

Today's look:

dress: my michelle

sandals: cooperative, urban outfitters

have your cake and eat it too!

I'm so excited...the BF is coming to visit this weekend!

Went to class today and shot some footage in a cupcakery... smelled so delish in there, that I came home and baked a two layered cake. yum :)

Today's look:

dress: patrick robinson

first day of school

School officially started on Mon, however I only have one class this semester (Wed and Fri), school starts today for me.

I gave my application and a check to the real estate agent who I'm hopefully getting my contract and keys from this today, like this afternoon. I feel like an idiot for giving her a check before even signing a contract... I feel dooped, but I don't think she'll do anything with the it until I get everything signed and the keys. 

SO I found a little duplex of an apartment, it looks like a little cottage in there. I have living room with wood floors and a working fireplace for the winter. The layout is kind of weird since the only closet is in the living room, a walk-in that has a window... strange... It has a good sized kitchen and a bathroom right off the breakfast nook.... clawfoot tub and all. The bedroom is teeny-tiny and could only fit my bed and maybe a small stand for a tv... who knows... and there's an entry to my parking space out back into the bedroom. VEry strange layout... I know...

Can't wait for class only an hour left before I get to see my old' journalism buddies. 

Today's look:

hat: deenaa & ozzy, urban outfitters

top: odille, anthropologie

shorts: forever 21

sandals: cooperative, urban outfitters

 Perhaps one of my favorite tops:

Have a nice day :)

p.s. Happy Birthday Karem!!! PArty Hard!!!

g~it's hard to say good-byes

The BF and I stayed in pretty much all weekend since we were both sick, him especially...

However, sat., we did manage an outting to our friend, G's, house for a fairwell party from his family. I met and mingled with a lot of his parents friends who were great people for me to network with.

I'm glad I wore my awesome anthro sale find from vegas. 

{Anthropologie "noche en la copa" dress}

dress: edme & esyllte, anthropologie

belt: anthropologie

sandals: urban outfitters

And it was the BF's idea to take some pics in front of the house before we left to the party... he liked this dress a lot.

The BF has had this group of friends for the past four/five years. There are three of them. G is heading off to med school in the carribean and K is working a job managing golf courses. It was a sad parting night as the boys sang there traditional spring break song, "Deperado"... it was really quite cute watching these guys do a last parting song together. I wanted to take a picture but they wouldn't let me, however, I do have an oldie from two years ago... tehee...
    

""Criss-Cross Applesauce"

Today in class a little girl told me "I like all your outfits". Considering she's only seen me three times, I'm still flattered, especially since I find myself challenged with putting outfits together that are good for kneeling and bending.

I know this one isn't a good one for "criss-cross-applesauce" but thankfully I didn't have to. (It's when you sit on the floor with your legs crossed, they use to call it Indian-style)

Off to PHX to see the BF. Sadly, he's sick so we'll probably spend the night watching redboxes. Hopefully he'll feel better tomorrow, I really want to see Eat, Pray, Love. 

Today's look: 

top: H&M

Skirt: target

(has rouching on the side, but you can't really see it)

belt: vintage

shoes: kimchi and blue (UO)

couples retreat

The BF and I met up with my best friends' and their bf's over this weekend in vegas. Our flight luckily wasn't that long, only an hour or less from PHX. We left right after the BF got off work. My gf's however made it there earlier- one couple from OC, CA and the other from Hou, TX.

It was a crazy weekend let me tell you. I never went to vegas with a bf before, it's always been with gf's and once with my best guy friend K. Going with the bf was soo much fun. We started off our flight meeting some Canadian guys who were super nice and decided to spread the vegas love by giving us chugs of their bottles of duty-free crown royal... not to mention, the BF and I had already drank two strong Russian Marys and Mexican Marys at the airport bar. 

What I worried about the most was us girls not having enough time to get ready for nightlife, but the boys were very patient with us and got along fine. The BF even enjoyed the sexy clubbing outfits I wore... to bad we didn't take pics of our outfits... this is what happens when the boys are around... the girls forget to take pics and we come out with 1/4th the amt of pics we'd normally take...
