wishful thinking

this might sounds corny but i've always had a love affair with the south. when i was little my family always took trips to gatlinburg, tennessee and i think from that minute on my heart belonged to the southern way of life. my dream was to attend the university of tennesee or a school in virginia and never return to the state of new jersey. however that did not happen and i attend school in state. one day however i plan to live in virginia, west virginia or tennesee in a house like this:

my husband and i will have a little garden and we'll live a mile away from our neighbors. we'll only buy produce from farmers markets and our kids will drink out of these

we'll have some dogs and cats, a cow and chickens and a little pot bellied pig. we'll follow college football religiously, their father will teach them how to drive on an old john deere tractor, just like him and i were taught and we will all live a lovely life.

but thats just some wishful thinking of mine. do any of you have thoughts like this about your future? or am i the only crazy one?

what i have to look forward to tonight vs. what i wish i was doing

im doing lots of this:


while i wish i was doing this:


drinking lots of this:


instead of this:


and finally listening to this:

fall has finally hit jersey! no more humid rain! yayyyy! i was so excited to walk out of my apartment this morning in a cardigan, long sleeve shirt and jeans and i was a little chilly and i loved every minute of it!


fall means:

wearing lots of these

quote of the week

"sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, 'i'm not going to make it' but then you laugh inside remembering all the times you've felt that way before."

fill in the blank friday

trying something new:

1. True happiness is a great cup of coffee and time spent with my family

2. The most surreal moment of my life was not really sure, dont think i've had one yet.

3. My favorite texture is the crocheted blanket from my mother and cardigans

4. My signature color is pink, i always wear it when i want to brighten my day up.

5. My signature style is low-maintenance, jeans, a cute top, cardigan, earrings and my pandora bracelet.

6. If I could choose one store to spend my life savings at, it would be wow this is a really tough one either old navy or anthropologie, i basically live in old navy clothes but anthro has clothes, jewelry, home decor and kitchen stuff such a hard decision!

7. My best thing about autumn is pumpkin flavored everything, the colors, wearing lots of layers and wearing cardigans and football season!
