Best Coast - 'Our Deal' - Directed By Drew Barrymore - Music - More Music Videos

Can't get enough of Best Coast's album "Crazy for You". I listened to it a ton last summer and it's making a come back again. It's just my ultimate summertime record. Plus, it makes me nostalgic for last summer living by the beach. I really need to go on and listen to their new album, but I just can't get back my first love of their first. Love this video too, sad, but an interesting West Side Story take. And interestingly enough, directed by Drew Barrymore. How bought that?!

relaxing weekly wrapup

How refreshing does that water look?! And those mountains?? Gorgeous. While I have been dying for trip to some far away land lately (California, the Mediterranean, heck, even Canada!) I was happy to spend the weekend completely relaxing in the suburbs of New Jersey. Beating the heat with seeing Spiderman, renting the Iron Lady, and ordering some local Italian for dinner was the perfect way to wind down. 

Beat the Heat with these guys.

It's NYC Restaurant Week (for 20 days??)

Secrets of New York

Wonderful graphics and interesting theory....

Roman Holiday is playing tomorrow on Bryant Park's Lawn

My favorite new concert website to find all the free concerts and more in the area!

The heat is making me want to swim in this pool so bad! And then maybe grab a nice cocktail afterwards at their bar.

For a good laugh :)

Enjoying the redesign of this Atlanta bloggers home.

Chill out to witanddelight's summer playlist.

Makes me want to travel!

J.Crew's swim collection is pretty freaking cute.

Especially, this one!

I can't wait to show more about this past week with the 4th of July and my friends being up in the city! Such fun exploring and spending some good quality time together. It's never enough time though! :( It just slips by so fast. I can not wait until I'm reunited with my sweet group of friends, whenever that may be. As for next weekend, I'll be flying back down south in order to pack up my sweet Auburn apartment. But I don't want to think about that now.

So Fresh!

Hot weather has arrived in the South. And it's not joking around. I returned to Auburn, Alabama with my apartments air conditioning broken. Open windows and fans have been our solution until today when it got fixed! In the meantime though, I tried out some refreshing fruit water. I'm already so bad at drinking enough of it, but sprucing it up with my favorite fruit makes it so tasty (and pretty looking too!) Today I tried out some blueberry and lemon water. I figure I'll switch it up each week.

Check out this site for a neat blackberry sage water drink.

I'm looking forward to finding some more fun summer ideas to try out in the kitchen. Any suggestions?

Summer Wrap Up

1. Weekends spent on the beach with good friends Melissa and Christen; summer night spent roaming around the bay in Fairhope.
2. Long weekend trip to Arizona to enjoy family time celebrating my Grandfather's 90th birthday, great mexican food, and a visit to the Frank Lloyd Wright museum.
3. More weekend beach; a bachelorette weekend for the lovely Christen Holmes Teague
4. Moving apartments and dealing with reorganizing (not something I'm good at); a final goodbye to the beach for the summer
5. One last hurrah in downtown Mobile exploring the city from up top; creeping around empty buildings to get great views of the bay.
6. Reminders of a unsuccessful trip to the beach filled with mean jellies; invitations and goodies completed for Christen!
7/8. Insightful fortunes from all of my fried rice eating along with homemade cookies and some rustic looking whiskey
9. Beautiful places around my new home in Connecticut
10. The sound is two blocks from our house and on Thursdays' in the summer they have sailboat races. 


It's time to finally say goodbye to summer. For the past couple weeks I have been back at school getting everything ready for my final senior project. I suppose that's my excuse for the lack of posts. I warned you I would be horrible at this, but I am determined to not let it completely bust! So, here's to a new season. Things will be different and possibly difficult at times, but I think I'm finally ready to face it.
