2013 Iron Bowl - Auburn wins against Alabama 34-28

this was literally the craziest game I have ever witnessed. Auburn beat Alabama LITERALLY in the last second. this was the reaction of crowd in the stadium on Pat Dye Field after the win!! my reaction is at :16 seconds. WAR DAMN EAGLE!!! xoxo, sarah

Outfit of the Day

Image
Cut-off jean shorts! the only thing I like about summer. I made these! all you have to do is take a pair of old jeans and cut them to your desired length! wash them to get the rugged edges. I bleached mine, then dyed the top part. xoxo, sarah

nail design for fun done by yours truly. I got the polka dots by using a brush that is for french manicures. xoxo, sarah

New York City - Day II

Let's hear it for New York

Image
today, my parents and I went to New York City aka my favorite city ever!!! It was so much fun, except for the fact it decided to rain. apparently a 30% chance of rain up north probably means it is going to pour, which it did for a good 2-3 hours which kind of ruined the trip at one point. we went to Madame Tussauds, walked A LOT, went to the Rockefeller Plaza, WALKED all the way to Central Park and the Upper East Side from Times Square (which is a very long walk), then finally rode a cab back to Penn Station. We actually planned on taking a cab from Times Square to the Upper East Side, but it did not happen. It was fun, but we were exhausted and the heat and humidity didn't help at all. It doesn't sound like we did a lot, but all that took up the day, plus lunch. the funny thing is that I am awful at finding places, map reading, etc. I have no sense of orientation whatsoever and I cannot give directions to anyone to save my life. But in NYC, I had a surprisingly good idea of

traveling!

Image
so right now we're in New Jersey. we left Sunday evening and drove through the night and stopped in Arlington, Virginia and visited some relatives on my mother's side. then we drove up more north and stopped in Edison, New Jersey. we stayed with my mother's cousin's family. it was fun! we went swimming and just hung out. now we're on our way to visit some other relatives and friends. tomorrow we are supposed to spend the day in New York City, so I'm excited! xoxo, sarah

Balloon Prayer Launch

Image
I helped out with VBS at my church and we concluded the week by having a balloon prayer launch and the kids sent prayers attached to a balloon up to heaven. it was one of the most amazing things I have ever experienced. we prayed before we sent them up and after that it was like the movie Up. it was a great reminder to me of how great our God is! xoxo, sarah

excitement!

Image
sooo in about a week, I will be leaving for the north for a wedding and vacation and I am super excited! not only am I excited about the wedding in connecticut, or NYC, but I'm super excited because I will FINALLY have something to legitimately blog about for about 10 days, so keep your eyes on this page for updates and pictures! let's take look back at my last trip two years ago to NYC... ahh these pictures aren't even good, so my excitement literally just expanded some more cause I know I'll be taking better pictures this time!  (now I hope and pray I don't jinx the trip just because I got super excited...sigh) xoxo, sarah

what we do on a summer day...

Image
last summer, I wanted to have photoshoot with my friends just for fun, so we did! it turned out to be a lot of fun. in fact, it was so much fun that we decided to have one for all the seasons (except winter)! this picture is from the most recent photoshoot we had at the end of May. I took it with my Nikon D3100 using a self timer and I was absolutely amazed at how awesome the picture turned out. I took this picture (and a couple hundred more) in the alleys of downtown Auburn. and yes, our hair blowing in the wind is 100% natural. I'm probably gonna post a couple more pictures on here cause I'm obsessed. my earlier post of me, was also from this shoot (not in this location). xoxo, sarah

New/Old Blog?

Image
So... I've decided to blog again. Not exactly sure what I'm going to blog about, but hopefully it'll be something related to fashion, photography, traveling,.. anything artsy? I don't know yet! If you read my blog before (the last time I posted something, it was like two years ago), well, it's going to be much different from that.... just deleted everything except my first post! Hopefully I can keep up with it and find something really interesting in my life to blog about, because I really like the idea of blogging. This picture of me was taken by one of my fabulous best friends Frances during our most recent photoshoot, and edited by me. I'm wearing a beige lace dress from Body Central. xoxo, sarah
