A Quick Update...

Hey, everyone! It's crazy to think that this is the longest I have ever gone without posting on the blog. I have a good excuse, though!

As of last Saturday (August 30th, 2014) my family and I have officially moved to Wilmington, North Carolina! I took these pictures yesterday at Wrightsville Beach, which is literally biking distance from our house. Is that not awesome or what?

 

I also started my junior year of high school that week (in public school, no less), so I've been swamped with homework and long to-do lists. Fortunately, some of the madness is starting to subside, and I am getting into the swing of things... More on that some other day. :)

 

The short of it is that I am back here with you and am crazy excited about it! More posts are coming your way soon, but in the meantime, I want to know...

 

How is the back-to-school season treating you so far?

 

xoxo,

Lifelong Love Letter // Outfit Post

Good afternoon, my lovelies! I hope your weekend is off to a wonderful start. Today I went on a mini-road trip with my mom to Leland, NC to get some new contacts, and it was so fun... not least of all because the optometrist's name was-- get this-- Dr. Hu.

Anyway, with the first day of school only three days away, I've been spending some time putting new outfits together. This bright, sweet look is one of my favorites so far... I even got little butterflies in my stomach when I finished accessorizing it.

Is that normal? Probably not.

But that's beside the point. I love this look because it is colorful and happy and  fun to wear... and since I'm feeling a bit more optimistic than usual today, it also suits my mood quite nicely.

The start of school prompts me to get a little more creative with my outfits, so I hope to share several more with you over the next few weeks. Here's hoping!

Love you guys.

xoxo,

Ireland

It's That Time of the Year Again...

BTS Time!

 
Well, guys. I am officially enrolled as a student at Emsley A. Laney High School, alma mater of Michael Jordan. If all goes well, it will be where I graduate in two more years... eep!
 
Summer break is coming to a close in a few short weeks, so I compiled a short list of back-to-school reads, including So Not Happening (#1 of the Charmed Life Series) by Jenny B. Jones and Limos, Lattes, and My Life on the Fringe by Nancy Rue. Two chick lit books that I have read over and over again!

What's on your end-of-summer to-read list?
