2 posts in one day! wha??

Yeah I was totally excited to do one of these "what the heck is in your purse" posts! Because I think it's so intriguing!

I think you should know....as I'm posting this, I'm listening to Katy Perry's "California Gurls"........
don't judge me.

first stop is San Diego! I probably won't be posting much on here. But I will be updating on twitter! You can follow me @simplyleah87

perfect day for thrifting

the best thing about not having a job right now is going thrifting all the time! The worst part is not having money to buy a lot of stuff!

Jasper is such a camera hog!


this photo isn't supposed to be awkward... just wanted to show the detail of the pin stripes and buttons!

Monday Monday....so good to me!

I had an interview yesterday to be a nanny! the family is great! I really am hoping I get the job, they're interviewing a few other nannies though. But I'm sure none of them are as great as me.... just sayin.
Also, if I get this job I can finally get my Canon rebel! yesssss

On to fashion! I wore this dress to church yesterday, we have been trying to find a church we like and it's soooo hard! either they're crazy and have baton twirlers or they are BORING. If I get on my iPhone at church it's automatically a no.
anyway, I was wondering if this dress was too short for church, but hey, it's hot in Texas! Maybe I gave the old women something new to gossip about.... not that I am stereotyping old women....

Europe flashback weekend: wrap up

I'm combining Prague, Austria, and a few randoms in one post so I can get back to fashion on Mondayy!

Austria! My favorite. "The hills are alliiiiivvveee...with the sound of musiiiiccc"



train ride, reading Harry Potter! nerd.
I LOVE train rides! seriously, why don't we have more trains in the states?!



Prague, aka Praha..... yeah I know, I'm fancy.
actually Czech Republic was probably my least favorite....It was kind of...well....to be honest....it was ghetto! (am I allowed to say ghetto? oh well.)



and last but not least, crepes. the 8th wonder of the world. And the love of my life, sorry AJ. No offense.

Europe flashback weekend.

So, I was thinking today that I never showed you lovely readers my Europe photos. (besides the ones of Paris)

better late than never, right? This weekend I am going to show you photos from a different country every day.

I have really been missing Europe. The culture, the art, the fashion....... feeling like I was in a Disney princess movie all the time. (mostly the last one, of course)

Venice. (I'm totally wearing my Twilight New Moon shirt in Venice. I'm such a loser.)











Art school

well I have officially applied to graphic design schools! The classes sound so exciting! I wish I would have started college right out of highschool. But I went off to beauty school and worked in salons for several years. I enjoyed it a lot but the money I made just wasn't worth it. Most of my income was spent on supplies. Lame ;)

anyway I'm excited to begin this new adventure! and it gives me and excuse to buy an iMac, or a macbook at least

Yes, I'm a mac girl..............boo to pc's.....





And hopefully soon I will have one of these babies. I only have the 3gS, it's time for iPhone 4.

*drool*

blissfully unaware

maybe I will pretend the weather is 70 degrees instead of 100?

In other news, we are going on an extreme road trip in a week ish. we're going to arizona, california, oregon, washington, Idaho, Utah, Colorado and then to kansas to see our family and friends!
I don't know if I told you or not, but I LOVE traveling. I will go anywhere and everywhere. There's just something about exploring new places. it's exhilarating.

I went to my friend Yuliya's house today, and she always makes tea and yummy snacks...I skipped lunch so I wouldn't be cheating on my diet......the brownie and ice cream was so worth it.
speaking of diet, I have been doing my couch to 5K, I can now run 7 whole minutes...(all you fancy runners are like, pshhhh big deal!....but it's a big deal to me, ok? ok.)
and tonight I am running 8 minutes :O

I heart thrifting

me and my hilarious friend, Summer, went thrifting today. and we found some AMAZING things.

I got this great dress, which I think I will put on eBay. and I got art work and an old globe! I've been looking for a globe since we got married and finally found one!
Summer got some great mid-century end tables, they have glass inserts with a cool design in them












It was a good day.

Hello sun city!

well with the weather being 109 lately, that doesn't leave much room for diversity in outfits! pretty much shorts and tanks for me! boring....

Here are some weekend pics of me and the hubs soaking up the sun.


and I cover up with a towel.... because I am PASTY. 
I'm thankful to Twilight and vampires everywhere for bringing fair skin back in style.
