LANCASTER CONTINUED

Here are some random photos from my trip to Pennsylvania. Snapshots of downtown Lancaster, details of our room at the B&B, and some from the antique stores we browsed. 

I had an amazing birthday this past weekend spent with family and friends. I'm truly thankful for the way God has blessed my life in the past year, and I am excited to see what life holds for me next. Thank you to all of those who wished me a Happy Birthday!

A DIFFERENT KIND OF CHRISTMAS

Well, this year was a bit different than any other Christmas. I spent Christmas Eve working (for eleven hours, if I may add). It was not the typical Christmas Eve I was used to. Christmas Day, however, was a bit more fun! Here are some random shots I took throughout the day. I spent the afternoon in Harpers Ferry with my friend, watched Christmas Vacation, had a cup of coffee in my Christmas mug from Paris, and just enjoyed time with family and friends. My brother and his new wife were in Canada with her family. This is the first year I have not spent Christmas with him. But.. it's a good thing I have two brothers, haha. My oldest brother and his wife came over for a little celebration and of course to partake in our Christmas tradition.. cinnabons! I look forward to it all year! My sister-in-law got me the best gift ever, Belgian waffles. I got addicted to them while I was in Europe last year, so I was one happy girl when I unwrapped the box!

Now, it's almost time for NEW YEARS!!

"GRADUATION" PHOTOS

(Millau lace dress from LF Stores- similar, Dolce Vita military green jacket, Nine & Co. boots- similar, hat from random boutique, Hue leggings, Michael Kors rose gold watch, other random and thrifted jewelry)

Here are a few of my "graduation" photos. I was very confused with the whole college graduation thing. Do you take photos? Do you send announcements? I kinda just went with the flow and listened to everyone around me. So.. I ended up taking some photos with a friend of mine to include in my announcement. For my announcements, I used a website to create paperless ones. You can see the finished product here. I decided to wear some of my most loved items for the photos. This hat is from one of my favorite boutiques I found in Paris. I would wear it every day in the winter if I could. We shot these photos in downtown Frederick at my favorite vintage store, Venus on the Half Shell. Some of the others were taken in Baker Park. It was the perfect setting and very "me." Oh, and I still cannot believe I am done with college!! I don't think it has really hit me yet..

See more photos here on my Facebook page.
