Better Together!

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

Whenever I see a girl hanging out with her friends, I’m always intrigued by what they’re wearing. Sometimes, they dress very similar to each other and sometimes, they’re completely different. I think it’s great when you’re with someone who appreciates fashion and share your passion for style! Here are some of my favorite shots of the fashion pack!I think it’s really endearing and sweet when girls hold hands!To be in a company of someone who loves to dress up and are comfortable in their skin is a great feeling!My sister and I are very different in our personalities and our sense of style. She’s very tomboyish and wears graphic tees, jeans, and generally don’t pay much attention to fashion. I, on the other hand, am completely in love with fashion and takes a while in the morning to figure out what I’m going to wear.

Do you and your friends/siblings have different style or do you guys have the same taste? You know, how some friends are so alike that they often have to call each other when they want to go out because they might be wearing the same dress? Or you never have to worry about it because you’re the only one who’s into fashion? I’d love to know! xoxoxoxoxxoo

Happier Week

Monday, June 27th, 2011

This past weekend has been a long and tedious one to say the least…it’s not about the work but the people that I was working with were unbearable. I can’t wait to quit really.

I’m happy that it’s over though and I told myself this is the last year I’ll be doing it. Have you ever found yourself in a job where everything’s great except the people you work with? I’m tired of being nice and I realize that I would rather be broke than going another day to be with them.
