I did some watercolor this morning, well watercolor feat. some glitter (typical)

I randomly woke up at six thirty this morning and I got out of bed and did all my homework. I was finished by eight which was awesomeee but every one was still asleep. My father had a conference call this morning right around brunch time so I think we are going to get lunch or dinner for our words with sunday. But now it's rainy, and I've been awake for so long and have already done a lot. humph

I'm not really sure where the inspiration came from for this one... I have been drawing people that look like this though a lot lately. Like it's weird, my journal which is typically filled top to bottom on each page with endless words and thoughtful writing is now drawings and few words. Who knows....

But yeah I made that little saying up, unless someone else around the world has already said it before, but as long as I'm not sure, it's mine hehe xoxolivia.

It's A Bubbles Kind Of Day!

Hey there!

today it was/is absolutely beautiful! I have had such a lovely break so far mainly because I have just been oh so happy and doing little things I love. So on that note I thought I'd share with you a few things that have made me happy lately :)

1. bubbles, clearly...

2. this weather, just my type, not too hot but certainly not cold! It's fantastic!

3. late nights, for the past few nights I have been the only one awake still downstairs and honestly I like it, me being afraid of the dark and all, I sort of like the spookiness of it, it's quiet and it feels like I have the whole house to my self. I don't of course and I still have to be quiet but for some reason I like it. It gives me room to move and think.

4. LDR's - long distance relationships.. not too long ago I made a friend who lives over in England, his name is Tom and he is super cool, it's so interesting having friends from far away places, you get to learn their lifestyle and all their cool lingo and such, like "cheeky" and "watching the rugby" really though who says that? I love it!

5. "Indie" "Bambi" "Fresh" "Cutie" "Summer" "Boho" pictures

I have always loved bright colors (as it's kinda clear) and these style of photos have all that I love in them! here's an example

and 6. Little boys meowing

alright so you're probably guessing how I have edited all these photos and uploaded and blogged right? Well this is my situation ^^ I have had to plug in an old keyboard, but alas it works for now but it ain't gunna fly for long, no way am I going to be lugging this thing around all day long... Getting better, but the struggle continues xoxolivia.

I Want To Be Everything

“When they asked me what I wanted to be I said I didn’t know.

"Oh, sure you know," the photographer said.
"She wants," said Jay Cee wittily, "to be everything.”

-Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

p.s. thanks to Maddy for these photos on such a lovely night

+WHAT I ATE+

This Sunday morning Pops and I tried the semi-newly opened gastropub, "Mint"

For any Food Network Star fans... remember Malcolm Mitchell from season 8? Yeah this is HIS restaurant!!

Let me tell you, it is AH-MAYY-ZING!

I ordered the Brioche Bananas Foster French Toast.

best I have ever had in my entire life.

For french toast, a relatively simple entrée, this had so many different flavors that just danced on my tounge with every bight! Let me tell you, I sure was disappointed once I had finished it... I could eat this all day every day!

Similar to my french toast, my dad's Eggs Benedict was the best he claims to ever have!

Since we are vegetarian, he substitutes the ham for a tomato, and he said it was phenomenal!

Also those potatoes... O M G.

wow.

amazing...

For us it was an all around A+

the atmosphere was so cool! a mixture of modern, chic, and classic. High ceilings, huge windows in the front, and massive mirrors behind the bar gave the restaurant a larger look, so fab, it had something that every interior lover LOVES!

Service was super fast, and everyone was all so nice :)

So would we go back? YES.

+WHAT I WORE+

shirt // target

belt // F21

awesome reversible giraffe (yeah those are giraffes) skirt // thrifted

sandals // Steve Madden

purse // vintage

earrings // yup, I made them!

necklace // homemade

glasses // TJ MaxX

Isn't this just the coolest mural!?

In RVA we have murals all over, perfect for a blogger ;)

+WHAT I LISTENED TO+

I have been really into MS MR lately, especially "Hurricane" Check 'em out! Great music, especially for tumblin.... (tumblr joke)

+WHAT I DID // WHAT I WORKED ON+

it is crunch time for our musical...

oh la la

so many rehearsals and late ones at that as well...

love love heart heart

Night time has happened to be a place for blogging photos a lot recently.

I have been so SO stressed lately, it is tech weekend for my schools musical production, so that means endless rehearsals and loads of sleep deprivation. Errrrrgggg

Well somehow I will still get in some blog posts just for you readers ;)

+ Thanks to my BFF Ally for these pictures +

Sorry this is short, but I gotta get some sleep!
