The year is almost half way over and I can't believe how fast it's gone by. Thought I'd share some of my Instagram photos from the last five months as a throw back and a way to share some of the good images I'm lucky enough to be able to look back on.

As some of you may know I am currently on my way to Portugal! Well, the beautiful island of Sao Miguel, Acores. My mother and I decided a month ago to take a last minute, much needed trip to Portugal. I haven't been in nine years and she hasn't been in five. Her mother (my grandmother) is there and tons of my aunts, uncles and cousins whom I have not seen in almost a decade. So naturally, I am very excited. Plus, the shopping in Portugal >>>>>>>>.

If you know me, read my blog, or have any idea of the kind of person I am, you can probably imagine how difficult packing is for me (only because I want to take EVERYTHING). I somehow managed to pack (and stay under the 50 pound limit, yes!) and successfully pack a carry on as well. So, I thought I'd share with you what I'm bringing for a carry on and what I'm bringing in it. Enjoy!


For my carry on I chose my Marc by Marc Jacobs New Army Tote. Although it's not the most comfortable bag to carry on it's heavy duty, can hold a lot, and it's super cute. I wish it had a long cross body strap though, that would really help a lot. Though, I think the updated version of it comes with one (just my luck)!


In my bag I included :

  • Two pairs of sunglasses (Ray Ban Wayfarers and Prada Baroques). I couldn't decide which to wear plus didn't want to risk throwing them in my check in luggage.
  • My MAC Tartan Tale plaid bag to put in all my toiletries.
  • A small body of body spray from Victoria's Secret (under 2 oz.), which I later threw in a clear zip lock bag.
  • Outlet converter (for the European outlets).
  • Compact mirror.
  • Nikon d80 camera (not shown in photos because I used it to take photo...).
  • Laptop charger.
  • Phone charger/iPod charger.
  • Cellphone (with my staple bunny ears case, obviously).
  • Laptop.
  • Passport case ($3.95 from H&M, I love the minty green color).
  • Imodium AD (Anti diarea medicine), sorry if that's too much information but I have the WORST stomach ever and I always get sick at ALL the wrong times.
  • iPod and headphones.
  • Gum (for ear popping).
  • Hand sanitizer (under 1 oz.).
  • fresh SUGAR lip treatment.
  • Small lint roller (I bring one EVERYWHERE).
  • Lipstick case (that my sister got me from London, how cute is that?).
  • Panty liners.
  • Tampons.
  • A million hair ties.
  • Bandaids. 
  • A small package of tissues.
  • Vera Bradley Night Owl cosmetic bag and brush bag (filled with my cosmetics and brushes in case I need to touch up before landing). 
The only thing missing from my carry on is a good read, whether it be a magazine or book. But I'm making sure to pick one or two at the airport. Well, wish me luck! I hate airplanes and this six hour delay isn't helping. Airports are cool though, I got to watch some of the NBA draft while I was here, excited about Austin Rivers getting drafted and OKC's picks this year.

Decided to do a 7 Deadly Sins of Beauty tag after doing my fashion tag last week. I think it shows some of my most used and favorite products (besides my beloved MAC liquid last). Below is the tag and all the products that I mentioned including the ones I was wearing. Enjoy!

1. GREED: What is your most inexpensive beauty item? What is your most expensive?
2. WRATH: What beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with?
3. GLUTTONY: What are you most delicious beauty products?
4. SLOTH: What beauty product do you neglect, due to laziness?
5. PRIDE: What beauty product gives you the most confidence?
6. LUST: What attributes do you find most attractive in the opposite gender (your preferred gender)?
7. ENVY: What items would you most like to receive as a gift?

PS. TAG YOU'RE IT!

7 Deadly Sins of Beauty Tag


 

Yesterday was such a beautiful day out. I luckily got to spend the day in historical New Bedford, MA where my friends Kaitlyn O, Savanna and I got to go to a couple of cute shops, an awesome antique store, and eat at one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. MMM I am still thinking about that quesidilla.






Outfit details: Diet Coke tank from Forever 21, H&M crochet skirt, studded bag from Pac Sun, Betsey Johnson sunglasses and Jeffrey Campbell Litas.




It's been so nice out and thankfully the pattern continued on my first day off of the week. I got to go on my first beach day of the summer/year today and I was psyched. I'm not going to lie, I had a hard time deciding which bathing suit I wanted to wear (I have several cute ones and new ones might I add).  After the beach we all got Iggy's (THE BEST CLAM CAKES EVER) and it satisfied the seafood craving I've been having. Aside from enjoying my day off I survived day two of zombie apocalypse. I'm convinced it's here, watch the news! Anyways, enjoy the photos and the weather!








     
Outfit details: Forever 21 floral headband, Prada sunglasses, H&M fringe top, Fringe bikini from Miss Selfridge,
Urban Outfitters studded high waisted denim shorts, Aldo gladiator sandals, and black studded bag from Pac Sun.

My Birthday weekend was a giant success. It consisted of sushi, scorpio bowls, lots os Jameson and Jack, a townie bar with friends, dancing, shopping, a circus Birthday party, the hookah bar, surprises, and all of my family and closest friends. I couldn't have asked for more. I am so thankful! Hope you enjoy the pictures, although I wish I had taken more out other nights.

Just wanted to give a big thanks to everyone who wished me a happy Birthday and epecially to those who took part in my 21st Birthday weekend. I couldn't have had a better weekend and I am so happy I got to spend it with the best people I know. I am a lucky lucky girl.

I'll make sure to do a Birthday/photo update this weekend and hopefully a photo or video haul of all the lovely lovely gifts I received and purchases I made this Birthday week!

I thought posting a weekly update of some of my instagram photos on my blog would be interesting (especially for those who don't have/follow me on instagram). These go a little further than a week (but I've had a good two weeks) but here goes:
















Enjoy the rest of the month!
