Keep Calm & Shop On

After peacefully waking up to the cleaning lady's vacuum (what a tough life), I had plans on going to lunch with Kayla, who's accompanying me to Europe this Friday, and heading to the mall to find something to bring on the trip. Mom, however, started seeing flashes last night and was afraid she'd need surgery again for a detached retina, so Dad wanted me to be an unselfish daughter and chauffeur her to Tyler. While this messed up my original plans, there's always another way. I asked Kayla if she'd come to Tyler (45 minutes away) with us and she agreed! We dropped mom off, headed to McAlister's, and after a nice southwestern grilled sandwich, salad, and sweet tea later, we were headed to the mall. I think it was a hit! Found some nice blue jean shorts, got a multitude of cute tanks, my very first pair of white skinnies, a black dress from old navy (can dress up or down), and the perfect pair of sandals. Back home in Longview, I'm about to order some pizza and it's movie night! We are watching something that has "incredibly close, extremely loud," something like that...with Sandra bullock in it, a young child? I'm awful at descriptions. Hopefully I will come up with more exciting stories, but the excitement doesn't really come until Friday! Woohoo! On to packing...eh, that can wait. Toodaloo!

$27 bucks from Old Navy! 

Gianni Bini...so in love with these. They're even cushiony! 

overload of the rest of my apparel.
