miami, day one

this blog is evidence that i did not succumb to the death that is the (south) florida turnpike. [note to self: red bull makes it aaaaaaall better]

today i traveled with my aunt and uncle to west palm beach for the current exhibit at the norton, and holllllly moley. look what they have there. permanently:





yes. that is a custom chihuly piece contained in the ceiling. it's made up of almost 700 individual glass sculptures.

are you drooling yet?

on the way back from wpb we stopped at ikea.
BONKERSLOCOwithNUTSONTOP.

maybe you've been in an ikea store. i had heard that they were big, but this was a beyond massive building. i've never seen so many things crammed together. but it was magical. too bad my shopping add kicked in causing me too get so excited and overwhelmed that i neglected to buy anything.

thankfully my spending habits will be suppressed once i head back to tallahassee due to the fact that the closest ikea is either in atlanta or orlando. woopdeedoo.

one word: sephora.

i have that "kid in a candy store" moment every time i walk into sephora.

tallahassee offers no beauty essential relief unless it comes in the form of the usual department store yaddayadda and lipsmackers/covergirl/nyc brand crap at walgreens.

sephora is by far my makeup mecca.

if my bank account would allow me, i'm sure i would shell out another $100 before i leave miami in two weeks.

thank goodness for being broke?

hope you're having a great weekend!

my new mantra

[get yours here]

here's to you, ck

[i made up that last word mhmm]

everything must come to an end...

i'm DONE with classes for this semester.

thank you, jesus h. christ.

all that's left is a final on monday and two finals on tuesday.

my schedule was as follows:

MWF art after 1940 [my favorite class this semester]

TTh photo history, then disney&america [an history class that i thought was going to be awesome and talk about how disney was actually a prick, but nooooo], then college algebra [aka the class from hell. my professor was good, but GOOD LORD. you could probably hear my eyes rolling at some of the people in that class, and then steel to end the day with some good music.

so it was an interesting/stressful/fun semester, but i'm so glad it's basically over.

NO MORE MATH CLASSES EVER.

p.s. you're welcome for a thoroughly interesting post.

the big easy

in t minus 7 dayz.

[it's too bad that everytime i say/type "7 days" i think of the ring. yeesh.]

yes. it means i can finally be with my not-so-secret lover, beignets.

[more like beignYAYS bahaha].

not to mention iced coffee from heaven.

it's my third year going to jazz fest with miles and his fam, and i'm sososo excited.

our schedule is jam-packed, and that's how i like it.

friday: drivedrivedrive, 9th ward, po'boys [cheese po'boy for me, o'course], cemetaries, and the quarter.

saturday: cafe du monde, jazzzzzzzzzz fest all day, muffalettas? [again, cheese for me].

sunday: brunch at the court of two sisters? [i'm crossing my fingers].

here's the planned outfit for lounging and listening at jazz fest [which includes the hopeful avoidance of a sunburn]:

the tank [which i got in a heather indigo color] is $4.99 from old navy and the skirt was $21-something from forever 21.

i'm going to wear the tank tucked into the skirt to be all cla$$y-like.

and i'll wear the strappy flats from the previous post because flip flops slip around too much on the fairgrounds.

so basically, be jealous that i'll be in new orleans next friday and you'll be doing something lame or whatev.

sarah
