Adventures in Old Town

Dress - JCPenney // Necklace - Modcloth // Shoes - Walmart

Can you believe these shoes are from Walmart? I love them! That aside, when I thought about it, I spend a lot of time in Florida. Almost an entire month out of the year. Sadly, when I graduate, I'll probably not be able to go down there as much.

Anyways, on a quest to find a mug (I'm not joking about that...but more on that later....), we ended up in Old Town in Orlando. Such a cute place! Yeah, it rained a little, but it was warm, so it was alright. The shops there were fantastic! There was a shop just filled with anime paraphernalia--I know my sister would be jealous. And  really cool haunted house (but it wasn't open until dark). There were also amusement park rides, but we didn't really care about going on them. Oh, and a magic shop! There was a show every few hours and the one we went to was great! The magician was very charismatic and entertaining.

So yeah, one reason we went was to find a mug with my family's crest on it. My dad has one and I wanted to add one to my ever growing collection of mugs (I think that I have maybe....100 mugs?). Turns out, the mug store moved somewhere else...inside a theme park, so we couldn't get in. Oh well, At least the magic show ended up being fun!

DC

What's sleep? It's finals week and sleep is something I'm looking forward to when this is all over.

Anyways, here are a few more pictures from the trip I took to Virginia. This is from the day we went to DC. We started out by going to the National Archives (which is the reason we decided to watch National Treasure when we got home that evening). After that we split up and three of my siblings (Laura, C, and M) went with me. We ended up going through several museums. Then we got a snack and sat on a bench in the mall to people watch. I found out later that in the same amount of time, the rest of my family only went to one museum--and that's why I'm so glad we divided into groups.

I'll leave you guys with these last two pictures from the Natural History Museum's gift shop. C's expression is just amazing and I think I look like I have a brain slug (Futurama) on my head.

For some reason I felt like turning on the hall light in these pictures just to see what would happen. Guess what... the natural light from the window made the foreground and lower part of the photo really blue and the hallway light made the top of the picture really yellow. Hence, the photos were really difficult to edit/color-correct. As in, they were actually even worse than they are now. I definitely won't be doing that again!

Crazy Hands

My friend, Dominic, took these pictures of me in the photo studio as we were cleaning up (I took the hand photo). They're a little grainy 'cause we had weird lights set up today that weren't really for portraits. Although you might have guessed that from the crazy hand picture. It's not the kind of thing I normally photograph, but it was still fun to do something out of the ordinary! All the photos ended up looking a bit creepy, haha.

Watching the Snow Die

It's so much warmed than it looks in the photos! I was a little cold, of course, but it was 30 degrees warmer than it's been the past few weeks. I AM SO HAPPY THE SNOW IS MELTING/DYING!!!

Only in Ohio

It's supposed to be in the 40s all week and I'm sadly excited about it. It felt so warm today that I wasn't even surprised to see people without coats on!

Night Sky

I forgot to take a close up picture of my necklace, but it's a moon. And I love it. Also, I've been informed that my pictures are boring with the same background. Why, yes, I am aware of this. But it's cold and you can't make me go outside!

Misadventure

I usually just go to the post office by my parents' house, but I had to mail a few things today so I went out to find the post office by my house. For those of you who don't know, I'm terrible with directions and I get lost very easily. Long story short, I drove around for awhile before finding the post office.

Shades of Cognac

As I was running out the door, I realized that my shoes and belt were completely different colors. This really bothered me the rest of the day.

Leggings?

So guess what, school wasn't cancelled. Even though basically every other school was. That's Akron for you. I didn't plan an outfit because I was so sure they'd cancel at the last minute. It was so cold that I just threw on a bunch layers without really thinking about it. So this is my equivalent to throwing on leggings before running out the door.

I'm really hoping they cancel school tomorrow. It's supposed to be below zero. On a completely different note, I just wanted to say thanks to all of you who've been commenting! IntenseDebate isn't working anymore and for some reason my computer rarely lets me comment on blogs (like I'll write them out but they never show up...). Anyways, I am reading them, but it's just really difficult to respond.

No School

For some reason Akron has Tuesday instead of Monday off for President's Day. Not that I'm complaining. Heck, I don't have to go to school!

Valentines Day 2015

Mom: Dress - Modcloth // Belt - Body Central // Tights - Kohl's

You know what's nice about holidays (besides food)? Easy post titles. My family's always done a big, rather quirky, family party on Valentines Day. This year, however, we had a more romantic theme. Whatever, as long as I get chocolate. Doesn't my mom look cute though? I found her that dress during a Modcloth sale!
