Movie: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2

Such a silly movie full with imagination! It's the sequel to the first, of course, and it's just as wonderful as the first. A scientist creates a machine that makes food from water, kind of brilliant until all goes wrong and the machine starts creating cheeseburgers the size of buildings and ice cream piles the size of mountains. After the first movie the machine was thought to be destroyed, so they thought.  

The machine rebooted itself and starting creating food animals. Kind of scary and adorable at the same time. Go watch and see for yourself! It's currently on Netflix!

Reading: Harry Potter 3

Of course I have read the Harry Potter series a 101 times. Back in the Fall the series came out with a new collection of newly illustrated book covers. At first I was a little iffy about it because they have categorized as classics now and you just don't mess with classics...except maybe when the illustration is kind of amazing.

I have been reading them for the past couple of months,I got a little distracted but I'm ready to start again; I left off on the 3rd so that's where I decided to pick up. 

How many times have you read the series? Are you first collection of books falling apart yet?

Wish List: Lilly Pulitzer, Jellies be Jammin'

I grew up on the waters of the Magothy River for 23 years of my life, those were some of the best years....especially the summers. When I was younger my friends and I would get our fishing nets and go hunting for jelly fish(we were strange children). Once we would get the jellies in our nets, we would drop them on the burning hot pier for them to bake and stick, sorry PETA. We even made a little made up restaurant where we would serve "jelly sandwiches".

When this Lilly Pulitzer pattern arrived in their summer collection it brought back so many amazing memories. Memories that I love to cherish and remember. Here is my little wish list of different clothing and accessory items that I'm dying to have!

1. Gabby Shift Dress: You can never go wrong with a Lilly Shift Dress. They are a classic Lilly item that never goes out of style and that you can wear to years to come. & just look at the embellishments at the neck, too too perfect. 

2. Murfee Scarf: oh boy. I have a few of these already and they are the perfect pop of color to have neutral color outfit. This is a MUST HAVE.

3. Buttercup Scallop Hem Short: I have this style of short from a few years back in pink seersucker and I'm completely in love with the scallop hem. Scallops are the perfect addition to any outfit and they are super popular right now. 

4. Dusk Racer Back Tank: perfect with a pair of white jeans and silver jack rogers, I would wear this outfit to death! 

What are you favorite items to the Lilly Pulitzer Summer Line?! 

Goals: Reading Nook

The nook, the books, the chair, and THAT VIEW! 

Can you imagine ever going to work? I wouldn't be able to if I had a space like this; I would get so lost in am amazing book or just looking out the window for hours and hours at a time without a care in the world. 

First an apartment or a home, Second a reading nook.

I found this image of Pinterest and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to write about it. When I look at this I can't help but think this is a room in Sarah Vickers and Kiel James Patricks house. Can you? I hope to someday have this little nook in my house...or even apartment. 

Here are a few others that I could definitely see myself reading and napping in for hours....

Do you have a reading nook in your home? If so, I'm so jealous. 

Extra! Extra! Viva Las Vegas

This is just a little sneak peak of whats come on the blog next week! This past weekend a group of friends and I took an adventure to Vegas. & what an adventure it was! 

Life: Sleeping Habits

I'm probably the worst when it comes to sleeping habits. I attempt to go to bed every night at the same time but some(most) of the time it doesn't always work out. Either work gets in the way because of the some times crazy hours I get or I have a million and one new ideas that go through my mind all day long. I blame the "creative" side of my brain for this; new ideas of what to get my hands on next whether it be something to paint, sew, photograph, or create...I'm always thinking of something. It gets in the way of when I want to sleep in the late hours of the night.

I've been searching Pinterest for some helpful hints on how to get a better nights sleep and ways to actually get to sleep.

I found this link on Pinterest that I might give a shot

Does music help any one else? Because Bowtiful Life posted a few days ago this Spotify list of music that she plays before going to bed.  

I'm going to give both of these a shot together and see what happens with the sleep that I sometimes don't always get around to doing.

Movie: Something Borrowed

This movie is inspired and based off of the book by Emily Giffin, a fantastic author who has written a number of books categorized as "chick lits", which follows the book "Something Blue"...which I really hope that they create a movie off of someday because that book is just as wonderful!

It's a story of two best friends that grew up together, went to college together, until Rachel goes to Law School where she meets Dex who ends up getting engaged to Darcy(Rachel's Best Friend). After  Rachel's Birthday they confess their love to each other but have to keep it a secret because you know, he is already engaged to her best friend. In the end Darcy finds out and the engagement is broken off....

Incase you haven't seen it, I will leave some details out. 

The cast is fantastic and the chemistry between all of them makes for some pretty fantastic acting. 

Ginnifer Goodwin....Rachel

Kate Hudson.............Darcy

Colin Egglesfield.........Dex

John Krasinski..........Ethan

Have any of you watched the movies or better yet, read the book(s)?! If you haven't, I highly suggest you do!
