A peek in the new kitchen

This weeks outfit post takes place in my kitchen, which is the place where I store my Nutella.  I'll be sharing more of my new home later on.  I think I'm finally getting into a steady routine, I have my classes, I joined a sewing/design organization, I'm meeting new people, and I'm even going to the gym.  Hello Zumba (aka my new favorite way to work off all the Nutella I consume).  

shoes: Kmart

skirt: AB surf shop 

stripe tank: "borrowed" from sister

sweater: thrift store

Inspired by: Bambi

There is something so breathtaking about Disney concept art.  I find myself more attracted to the before pieces then the final clean product.  I love the rawness and use of color in each of these pieces and would happily hang all of them in my apartment.  I wonder if anyone would be the wiser that they were inspiration for Bambi in 1942.  

All painted by Tyrus Wong.  

I have also been thinking about getting my first tattoo, which I may want to be of Bambi.  Now I just have to find the courage and extra cash.

Holiday in Germany

Yesterday I returned from a two week vacation to Germany.  And it was incredible! I was extremely sad to leave the friend I was visiting, my new friends, the beautiful sights, and even the language barrier.  I saw so many amazing things and experienced both new and old life changing events...and have over 600 pictures to prove it. Here are just a few to share with you! Maybe I'll add more along the way.

 

Red, white, and blue equals America.

So my 4th of July was spent in typical American-style with my parents, my two sisters and their boyfriends, my sister's friend, a Belarusian, friends from where I used to live, and finally lots of delicious food.  It's been busy and crowded but really delightful.  I hope everyone else had an explosive 4th of July, and managed to keep the firework injuries to a minimum.  Go America!
 

And on a side note...I made the top I'm wearing and the polka-dot dress my sister is sporting.
