Life lately, according to my iPhone

Super convenient that there's a farmer's market every Wednesday outside my class building. It's prompted some pretty healthy cooking. 

So Miss BANANA doesn't look too thrilled here, but I swear this was a great day! Have you tried a blow dry bar yet? They're super fun! If you haven't heard, you pay $35 and choose a "blowdry" style -- you can go bombshell, super sleek, boho, etc. There's no cut, just a wash and a great blow out that lasts three days. Four if you're really talented at avoiding showering.

My friend Emily and I got to attend a fashion show downtown thanks to our boss lady and Karen from Cayetano jewelry. It was pretty hip.

Taking in a Gopher football game on a crisp fall night. That is the best time of all times.

My new little bow ring from Parc. By Boe has to be one of my favorite jewelry lines we carry. Her dainty pieces are just so much cuteness. 

Style Architects gave out these yummy smelling candles at their new space launch party this summer. I have waited SO long to use it (I'm very strict with fall/winter being candle season) and OH MY LANTA it is delicious. It's no ordinary vanilla, it's like a orangey-I-came-from-heaven-vanilla. And yes I have a giant jar of Starbursts in my room. 

Life lately, according to my iPhone

1. Wisconsin weddings. Probably had one of the best weekends ever. 

2. A little representation of my fav area code. We should be getting more into Parc Boutique soon.

3. Fourth of July shenanigans. 

4. Dock sunsets are the best aren't they? This one was insane, it seriously looked like the world was ending. 

5. Boyfriend got me tickets to Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw, which, for all you out-of-staters, was cool because it was the first ever concert at Target Field. AND thee best concert I've ever been to. 

6. Stopped at Fulton Brewery for drinks before the concert. Coolest concept ever: five beers. At all times. In a warehouse. Come as you are sorta deal. Loved it. 

7. Gotta hand it to Kenny Chesney, he's one of the best entertainers in the business. 

8. Pizza and wine with the roomies. It's the little things. If you live in the Twin Cities, I recommend the Alfredo Pizza from Element Pizza. 

9. Treating myself to a chocolate donut on my birthday. Best decision ever.

10. Getting patio drinks on St. Anthony Main. Such a beautiful view of the city; it never gets old.

Let me have my cheeseball moment

Yesterday was my birthday. (My grandma likes to tell me every year that when I was little I said my birthday was 'ly 'leven, cause, you know, when you're little you can't pronounce adequately and stuff. I'm sure it was adorable.) If you forgot my birthday? Then, well....nothing, absolutely nothing cause in reality it's just another day out of the year so who cares. But you CAN get free slushies at 7-Eleven on my birthday. That'sssss kind of a big deal.

IN ALL SERIOUSNESS. Thank you to everyone who called, texted, or even wrote a little Facebook ditty on my wall (because we all know we love Facebook on our birthday, let's be real here). I was reminded yesterday how much I adore everyone in my life. Like, through the roof. I have the best friends, family, and boyfriend anyone could ask for and there's nothing better than crawling into bed at night with that feeling.
