Morning Glory in Gray

I am not a morning person.. but.. I so love an early morning when I can have toasted (plain) English muffins with strawberry jam and butter which I then proceed to "dunk" into my Mocha café. I love waking up early to go to Disney world, pulling on sweats for class, warm chocolate croissants, watching MTV with breakfast, staying in bed with a really good song on my iPod, today's was "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay haha! Here's to those wonderful gray early mornings.

Sweety, my monochromatic little puppy, stops to say hello. =]

Cloud Watching

Have you ever fallen asleep on a blanket after a picnic at the park? I remember waking up to a bright blue sky filled with puffy white clouds. Then I would start to see funny little animals taking shape and shining through. Cloud watching can be just as fun as star gazing. I love the feeling you get as you feel yourself beginning to slip away from any previous pent up stress you may have had, feeling yourself anew, just by watching the shapes take form.

Thank you "S-C" of Girl Meets NYC for the 6 quirks about you tag. I tag anyone interested!! :)

Let's see. OK. Well, for starters.... (1) I cannot feel "awake" until I actually put my contacts on. When I am wearing my glasses I still feel half asleep. Maybe it's the cold water that "wakes" me up? (2) I love ovaltine with milk for breakfast but it has to be just the right amount of milk and ovaltine, it can't be too milky or too chocolate-y, I have it down to a science. (3) I always need some kind of pillow to hug in order to fall asleep at night. I'm very picky about there not being any light either, when trying to fall asleep (or noise!) (4) I don't like walking into my room or the bathroom with shoes on. I think of germs coming off of the street. Ew. (5) I drink coffee, even at home, with a straw. (6) I always count steps when I climb, it's an odd habit.

It's been a while since I actually left you with another one of my outfit posts. I am so sorry. It's been hectic around here these last couple of days, as I was out of town last weekend and then had to deal with Tropical Storm Fay when I got back. Not very fun. But I'm back home now and online. Hopefully this look will inspire you as you begin your journey back to class, work or whatever. Simple comforts come from cotton!

A little fun video I found to be.. quite inspirational. The creepy factor is there, but still there is something I just love about it too.

It may rain, but still I see the light

Having ordered my straw fedora a little over a month ago, I only just now realized that Rachel Bilson has the exact same fedora I donned last month in my Blog. Above she is shown in those exact candids (taken a couple of weeks ago) wearing hers. How fun to see one of my favorite peers donning something I purchased without even knowing it was also her latest 'obsession du jour.' In fact, it is that same outfit I am wearing above that was entered and approved for the Teen Vogue snapshot contest entry. Be a dear and vote for me here? Thank you so very, very much to everyone who has already voted for me ♥ and to those who intend to do so in the near future... all you need is an email to register.

It's been a constant downpour over the course of the last 3 days.

Boo! Sleepless nights of thunder + lightning mixed with wet early
mornings and puddle hopping. Not very fun. Hopefully tomorrow
will brighten up some??? I want the Sun. Rain, Rain, GO AWAY!
