carter taught me how to surf!!

Carter taught me how to surf =)  It took me three tries to get up- I was so excited when I finally did! My knees are still killing me though! Check out the pictures I found above. I am obsessed with the painted surfboard artwork- so cool. 

window petals

Last weekend I attended the annual boulder creek festival. There were lots of vendors with adorable goodies for sale. The window above is one of my favorite items. Sunflowers, daisies, and a few bees fill each panel! I want to learn how to make these so bad!

This is another cute project idea for dried flowers and an old window!

I love how this one can be thought of as a scrapbook.

I must start saving and drying pretty flowers from special events 

so i can create a flower scrapbook like this one =)

Summer Necessity #3

 

 

Floral Sports Bras

I love wearing sports bras under loose fitting tanks in the summer-time and these floral print one's are perfect for showing a pop a print under your top! I saw them on aerie's website but beware the first and last sports bra shown above are made with a shinier material. In person the second and third are much cuter-- in my opinion!

summer necessity #2

crop tops! 

Love it or hate it the crop top is one of those "new" old trends that is coming back with a vengeance- I personally love it! There is nothing wrong with showing a little midriff in the summer time :) I have had my eye on the turquoise one above for a while. They are perfect for keeping cool and looking cute :)
