Journals and Macarons

For the first day of Spring Break, I have a ton planned to do. And I couldn't be more excited! There are just so many possibilities and I can't wait to see how much I can get accomplished. 

-I really want to watch Sense and Sensibility. I read the book last year and LOVED it and I've been meaning to watch the movie for forever. Mmmmm anything with Hugh Grant looks good to me!

-I got some amazing books by my favorite authors in the mail recently and all I want to do is sit down and gobble them all up. 

-These three little journals were just TOO adorable to pass up when I saw them at Target. I can't wait to fill them up with ideas for the blog, crafts, and my trip to London. 

-I'm finally going to make some maracons today! I've wanted to make them for over six months and I got this adorable macaron book for Christmas and can't wait to finally put it to the test. 

-Journaling has been put on the back burner lately, so I really want to spend some quality time with my journal today. 

-My girl scout cookies finally came! Ahhhh I can't wait to eat them all up throughout the week. 

Oh my goodness, looking over this list just makes me so excited. Macarons, journals, and Jane Austen? Where could you possible go wrong? Do you guys have any fun plans for the weekend? 

Friday's Favorites

Guess what? It's officially Spring Break! I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am that this day has finally arrived. I am looking forward to a week of relaxing at home, reading until I can't read anymore, and completely spoiling my puppy. It's so nice to get away from school and be home. I've missed it so much. I've got some papers to write that are due the week I get back, but that's all the homework I have to worry about. So I should be able to have plenty of time to just relax. Oh I can't wait. Here's what I've found in the past week that I thought I'd share with you all :)

1) This is probably the cutest Harry Potter cake ever. It looks so perfect!

2) Aaawwww I would probably cry if someone gave me this adorable mug. 

3) This rainbow cake is super cool! I'm definitely going to have to try it out sometime! And I think the mustache is the perfect finishing touch. 

4) I love this London bracelet! I would love to have one of these after I visit London this summer. 

5) Haha, Forrest Gump alarm message is the perfect motivation to wake up for a run in the mornings. 

6) This Beauty and the Beast necklace is beyond adorable. Doesn't it look so charming? 

7) This is such a cute envelope DIY. I'll have to try it out with some fun paper and send something to my sister!

8) I would love to do this heart picture frame wall in my own room. It's such a cute yet simple idea!

9) Hehe, wearing this Waldo shirt would be so much fun! 

10) With spring coming up, these floral patterned shoes are absolutely perfect!

Craft Corner: Brioche Infinity Scarf in Gold

I was so obsessed with the first Brioche Infinity Scarf that I made in gray back in January that I just had to make another one in this golden yarn I had bought over winter break. And I'm completely in love with this one too! I want to wear my two Brioche Infinity Scarves every single day. Not only are they super cute, but they're also super warm! They did take a while to make, but the pattern was really simple, so I didn't mind the time it took at all. And the outcome is so worth it!

In between knitting, I would be reading my copy of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I am in love with the story Austen created and I had such a hard time choosing between reading and knitting this scarf! Haha, story of my life. But in the end, I finished the scarf first! And now I can bundle up in my golden cowl with a hot cup of tea in one hand and my Jane Austen in the other. I'd say that sounds like a pretty good plan. 

After finishing two of these cowls, I'm already looking forward to making more in different colors. Pink? Blue? Green? Oh the possibilities! I can't wait to see how my collection will grow of these beauties. Have you ever found that one pattern you want to make over and over again? It just ends up to be so addicting and I can't seem to stop knitting! I've got to go find some new yarn fast because I'm simply dying for another one of these :)

I'll Be Seeing You...

So after receiving a free pair of glasses for review from Firmoo back in January, I have become obsessed with glasses! I can spend hours on their website just looking at all of the glasses I would love to add to my collection. I came so close to buying a couple of pairs a bunch of times, but never actually went through with it. So when Firmoo contacted me asking if I wanted another pair for reviewing my first pair, I did not hesitate one moment! And I'm absolutely in love all over again!

I am so in love with my new glasses! I wore them for the first time in public yesterday to my classes and I felt super cute and I couldn't get over how much I loved them. Haha, every time I was in the bathroom I would check out my glasses...gahhhh I'm in love! Who knew a new pair of glasses could make you feel so giddy and happy? The prescription, of course, is perfect and they fit like a dream! Not to mention they shipped super quickly. What else could I have expected from Firmoo? 

Now I have two adorable pairs of glasses from the amazing company and I still want more! Haha, now I understand why some people own so many pairs of glasses. My favorite part is how different they are from each other. I can wear whichever one I feel in the mood to wear. My next pair of glasses will hopefully be either cat-eye or a super fun color. Just imagine all of the possibilities! I think I've definitely found my newest obsession :)

Wishlist: Crazy Kitty

Come Tome to Me Sweatshirt // One Wise Kitty Socks // Mulitcolored Cat Print Tee // That Yarn Cat Tee // Up Your Alley Cat Flat // Meow for Measuring Cups // Cat in the Act Earrings

While I don't have any kitties of my own, I can't help but fall in love with the adorable creatures. Seeing them on clothes, accessories, and apartment items make me love them even more! I bought a brown long sleeved shirt covered in cats from Forever 21 and it's probably my favorite shirt ever. Just seeing all of those cute faces all day makes me feel so happy. 

Not only are these clothes/items all completely adorable, they even go with my favorite things. Reading? Well, duh I love that. Knitting? Of course! And then you have cat measuring cups? Seriously, it's like all of these things were made for me! And I love how the cats have glasses on the socks. Could you get any more adorable? 

Do you guys like seeing cats on clothes? I think they're so quirky and cute! I wish I could add all of these pieces to my own wardrobe...too bad I'm you're typical poor college student. Haha, I'll just have to keep my eye out at stores like Forever 21 or Macy's to see if they can quench my thirst for any cat related items :)

Spring Break Plans

Spring break is only a week away and to say that I'm ecstatic is definitely an understatement. An entire week to spend with no classes to go to or midterms to worry about is going to be complete bliss. And I can spend days just laying on the couch, reading and watching movies. Gahhh why does seven days suddenly feel so long? 

I don't know how I feel about having my spring break being so early, but it's a break that I'm needing right now. Next week is jam packed with midterms and essays due because teachers want to give us time to relax over spring break. Little did they know that every single other professor had the same idea! Oh well, I guess that's going to make surviving this week even more enticing because I'll have so little to do school-wise during break. 

I'm probably most excited about finally making some macarons! I got a macaron recipe book for christmas and have been dying to make them, but I don't have what I need on campus, so I have to wait until I'm home to make them. Hopefully they taste as delicious as they look. I've also got some other recipes I want to try out, so that should be fun. Overall, I'm hoping for a relaxing week where I can just have some fun. Hopefully I can get some of these plans accomplished!

English Papers and New Knitting Projects

Oh how I love the weekends. I had an absolutely lovely time yesterday baking chocolate chip cookies and watching Bridget Jones' Diary with my friends. My team ended up losing to OSU at the hockey game last night, which bummed me out, but I still had a ton of fun hanging out with friends and watching the game. And I still have two full days of the weekend ahead of me! Here's what I hope to do...

-Read I got this book in the mail about a girl living in the early 1920s, which is a time period that I'm so in love with thanks to Downton Abbey. It's really good so far and I can't wait to see where it goes. 

-Plan With spring break next week and London quickly approaching, I have so many things to plan! Where does the time go?

-Watch movies For my book club, we had to read the first half of Pride and Prejudice and I am absolutely in love with it! Now, all I want to do is watch the movie over and over again. 

-Write With midterms coming up, that means I've got some big papers to write! The one I'm working on now is all about the battle of the sexes in the novel Fantomina. It's actually a lot of fun to write, so hopefully it turns out okay. 

-Knit I FINALLY finished the cowl I've been working on for the past three weeks, so now I get to start a new project! I'm really in love with this Lion Brand yarn I had bought over winter break. I can't wait to find a cute pattern to try it out on. 

That's my weekend in a nutshell! Hopefully I can get as much done as I have planned. Do you guys have anything fun going on?
