Wild Thing

I've got a few older outfits from last week I'll be posting over the next few days til I get caught up. I wore this a couple Sundays ago to run errands. I know I didn't feel like "dressing up" that particular day, but I'm actually very pleased with this outfit.

The shoes I'm wearing are my favorite pair of shoes at the moment. They're ridiculously comfortable, I think they're adorable, and I got them for a great price. I call them my marshmallow shoes. I am a nerd.

Shoes- Matt Bernson (I bought mine through Gilt, but they're available on Endless.)

Orlando Vacation Part 3

On our 3rd day in Orlando we were quite busy. We went to the Kennedy Space Center, Cocoa Beach, and saw Cirque du Soleil La Nouba. We didn't take very many pictures, as we were both exhausted by this point. In fact, even though we were here for 2 more days afterwards there aren't anymore blogworthy pictures so this will be my last vacation post. Day 4 was Thanksgiving, and day 5 we spent with Peter's sister and brother in law going on a boat tour, seeing a movie, and playing games.

I love Florida, and can definitely see myself going back for another visit. I had hoped to explore a bit more local culture and less tourist attractions, but Peter's sister insisted that we get the Orlando Experience. I am very grateful for the generosity she showered us with, I still have a hard time believing we actually got to do all these amazing things!

The Rocket Garden. My favorite thing about NASA.

Orlando Vacation Part 2

So on day 2 in Orlando we went to Universal Studios. I wasn't expecting to enjoy myself... I hate crowds, and I thought (and still think) it's waaaay overpriced. But I actually had a good time. The highlight of the day was the Simpsons ride. If we ever make it back to Florida, I totally want to check out the Harry Potter theme park. It sounds pretty awesome.

I also randomly got a haircut on this day... I went to an awesome salon called Matthew Michael's Salon and Spa that I wish so badly was local. Rather than telling me I was styling it wrong, Ryan acknowledged my concerns and agreed that my bangs were cut oddly heavy on the sides! My normal hairstylist insisted that I was doing it wrong, which was kind of infuriating. Ryan even sent me a thank you card, amazing!

Fresh haircut! It looked great.

Bart Simpson!! The only plushie type character we saw all day.

Pre-Bart. And the only decent picture where you can see my shoes.

 Of course I wanted to wear something casual and low maintenance given that I would be walking around all day, and had no idea what kind of rides to expect. I love these jeans, and the funny thing is they were capri pant on the model. I bought them because I wanted skinny jeans to wear with my boots and they were $13 and in my size, but they are the perfect length to wear with flats! I'm short and have ridiculously short legs, so I really got lucky.

Orlando Vacation Part 1

So, as I mentioned earlier last week we went to Florida to visit Peter's sister for Thanksgiving. Our first day there we woke up pretty late and didn't really get going until the afternoon so we decided to go to Gatorland. It's pretty much a small zoo with lots and lots of gators. We walked around for a bit, watched the gators sleep, fed some, and got attacked by birds. They hang around and steal food. One of them actually bit Peter's finger. It was fun and weird, an interesting way to spend an afternoon. (Click pics to make them bigger.)

Outside the park.

Me and a gator.

A little overexcited about a weird souvenir.

The birds are closing in! Also, some weird dude who was telling us which gators we should try and feed. 

Florida was a lot more warm and humid than I expected. I didn't pack very well. I loved it there and hope to go back sometime.
