#Confession: I'm OBSESSED with Social Media

I've been pinning up a storm lately, and can honestly say that I'm becoming a bit obsessed with social media! Can you blame me though? Pinterest is this amazing, endless source of inspiration.

Look at the things I've pinned -- inspiration for just about every part of my life.

I love the lace and blush pink - this is pinned to my "FASH!ON" board. 

THIS LOOKS DELICIOUS. - this is pinned to my "This Looks Delish! (Food)" board

Creative Gift Ideas - pinned to my "So Very Crafty" board.

Love the Blue/White/Bookshelf - pinned to my "Future Grownup Home" board

Quirky, Cute Clutch - pinned to my "Clothes I Loveee" board

What a cute idea for weddings - pinned to my "Someday When I Get Married" board

THIS. IS. GORGEOUS. I'm without words - pinned to my "Art(licious)" board.

Beautiful inspiration for my (fingers crossed) new apartment - "Decorating 300 Square Feet" board

I'm Nineteen, but I'm Old For My Age...I Was Born to Be Bad

Another Year, Another Fabulous Celebration of my Day of Birth --- yes, today is my birthday! I'm 19 today, and I can hardly believe it. When I was a kid, 19 felt so old and I thought I'd have everything figured out by now and would be living some sort of magical life in New York or Boston or somewhere. Now, I'm 19 and I find myself living a (I believe) equally-magical life in the city where I grew up and couldn't be happier. And yes, I really did have crayon-shaped candles on my birthday cake.

18 was an extremely good year for me - I graduated high school, started at my university, scored not one - but three - fabulous internships (including one at Walt Disney World) and have grown so much as a person. I can hardly wait to see everything 19 will bring!

Oh and this blog title - lyrics from my absolute favorite song from Rent (my absolute favorite musical of all time) - Light my Candle. 

Can't Stop, Won't Stop...Listening to the Maine

I love the Maine, so when I heard at the beginning of this semester that they were going to be in Milwaukee the week after I got back, I immediately talked to my friend A (she's my concert junkie friend) and we bought tickets. I've been counting down the days til this day for...oh, gosh, about three months now? And now, I am just mere hours to seeing them live and in person for the first time ever...and I am just way to excited for words!

I fell in love with the Maine's music about six, eight months ago. Can't Stop, Won't Stop is my favorite album of theirs and it is on constant repeat in my car...on my iPod...on my iTunes...basically all the time. I love every song on that album - which is pretty rare for me, since I can usually name at least a song or two that I could do without on nearly every album in my iTunes library.

Now, however, I am plagued with the question that comes with every concert I attend...what on earth do I wear?!

This is what I'm thinking, but it's become kind of a "Concert Uniform" for me, so I feel like I need to shake it up a bit. I can't help it though - shorts and a fuss-free lace top are just ridiculously comfy and easy. What do you normally wear to shows? I need some inspiration...

Big Girl Job

After a nice weekend off of work, just spending time at home with my fam and getting all organized after being away for four months, its now time to start my summer - and with my summer, my big girl job. That's right - a job that's actually somewhat related to what I want to be doing when I graduate from university in a few years.

This summer, I'll be working full time as a Administrative Assistant at a public relations-advertising-marketing firm that is pretty close to my parents' house. Administrative Assistant means I'll be helping out with public relations, data analysis and of course, normal assistant work like filing and such. I'm exciting for this new opportunity, including the idea that I will be wearing business-casual - no uniform or costume for this girl!

Today's my first day, and I can't wait to see what's in store. Of course, I'm dressed for success and got my trusty Vera Bradley by my side. Full outfit pictures to come, but here's a sample Polyvore set of the idea I was inspired by.

What are you up to this summer?

Packing, Packing...oh, and some PACKING

I leave Orlando in T-6 days...and my family is coming in T-12 hours(!!), so I have been packing up a storm getting ready for my trip home!

Somehow, I am convinced I amassed more things being down here... but I can't seem to remember buying all this stuff! I'll be leaving a lot of it behind (like towels, a cheap $3 blanket from Walmart, measuring cups and mixing bowls from the dollar store, and various things like laundry detergent and shaving cream), but my piles to pack seem to keep growing and growing!

I like to think I am a good and efficient packer, but sometimes I wonder because this is taking forever. Maybe it's because I refuse to pack during the day, when I could be out doing fun things like playing in the parks (like I'm off to now!) - or maybe it's just because I haven't packed in a while, and have forgotten the ways.

No, it's probably the first reason.

But I can't help it - I can't stay inside packing when I could be out exploring places like this:

Thus, I will be stressing about the packing in 12 hours - it'll be a long night ahead of me. But now, now I'm going to play.

I Met a Storybook's Worth of Characters

I was busy as a bee today - I met twenty-five characters in the Magic Kingdom in less than five hours. I feel accomplished - what did you get done today?
