I'm seeing green!! I have always loved a mint/seafoamish shade but after recently being told that "my color is green" like what I look good in etc. I have subconciously gravitated towards green things, especially pale light green shades.
What's your color? xoxolivia.

 Happy Memorial Day!

No, I do not have an awesome sale to share with you... (except for the fact that all shoes on ShoeMint.com are $50 just today, rejoice!) But I today while taking these photos I totally felt like Lana Del Rey haha she's amazing. So likewise, her song "American" was stuck in my head the entire time...

Today we remember all of the strong and powerful men and women who fought for our country. Although I do not have anyone particularly close to me who has fought or served in the war... for all who did and do, thank you. You and your families are so brave. With love, and pride, thank you.

Saunders Graduated!!!

Saunders Graduated!!!

 My amazing brother Saunders graduated high school today!! It was so so exciting, yet so bitter sweet; I am going to miss him like crazy. As of this September I will officially be an only child around the house.. :( 

Ders had a great four years of high school, not only did he graduate with an A+, high honors grade average, but he also received a huge art award! And that's only the beginning of his many achievements...

 Here he is getting his lil deploma :) 

(sorry these pics are unfortunately a wee bit blurry...)

 GO DERS!!!

 After the graduation there was a little lunch get together for Saunders and all his friends and their families. It was really nice, I met a lot of new people. The weather was beautiful, so it was perfect to sit outside for some socializing, eats, and but of course... loads of photos... ;)

 This is my grandma, Mimi <3

 all of the flower arrangements on the tables had the graduates photos stuck in them... haha

 bathroom selfies (duh...)

 That's my uncle (my mom's brother) he is super funny and really cool. He came all the way from Portland to see Saunders graduate :)

 I feel like people always steal my hats... lol

the fam :)

Congratulations Saunders, I know you're going to just kill it at Penn State xo

I wore this outfit yesterday and I really liked it. The tights and skirt are super bold (they look cooler in real life...) and I love yellow and blue together.

Getting Active!

Getting Active!

 Hey everyone! It's been a while since I have last posted, but today I am going to talk about getting active! I have always loved getting outside and playing around, but ever since I have grown up and I think stopped growing.... I know that exercise is very important in a daily life routine in staying healthy and happy. Typically I like to go on a bike ride or roller skate around, but I have started running again! When I was in seventh grade I started running a lot I always did cross country and track but I stopped last year. Now I just run around the neighborhood every now and then. I also dance a lot but that's just for fun...

 Even when I am running I no matter how tired or out of shape I feel, I always dance to it, I'll jump around and be weird while running... I probably look super dorky.

And remember, stay hydrated!! :) xoxolivia
