Reflections / The Find #2 Favorite

I feel very overwhelmed right now. Where did the month of June go? Saturday I  realized we are moving in two weeks and we have NOTHING done! Needless to say, blogging and anything fun will have to get pushed off to the side for a few weeks until we're settled.

The first day of summer happened this weekend and I wore my hula girl dress to kick off its rainy inception. 

 A great hi-low dress is a summer staple, even more so when it has a fun summery print. This wonderful dress by Sugarhill Boutique can be found here. (Image via ASOS).

A couple of weeks back I met up with Amia of Teapots and Belles. She is so lovely, and we have a lot in common, it's almost scary. Meeting up with her made me realize the great connections that can be made through blogging. Even if I don't get a ton of followers or sponsors, I'll be happy that I ever started a blog because I've made a friend and continue to pave the way for more friendships near and far. 

Ok, I'll stop being corny now. Shout out to my boyfriend, and his band Eureka Verve they had a show this weekend and released an EP. Yay!

 

Classic. 

Finally, my favorite outfit from my thrift store excursion featured in my June 17th post. The outfit was inspired by three people: Stockard Channing as Rizzo, Sammi of The Soubrette Brunette, and Betsey Johnson. Thanks ladies! You are awesome!

Sunflower Award

The lovely Amia of Teapots and Belles has tagged me for the Sunflower Award! A sincere thank you to Amia for nominating me! 

Here are my answers to Amia's questions:

 

What are you currently reading?  

Why, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, of course.

 

What movie do you think more people need to see? 

"The Blues Brothers." When it came out, it brought artists like Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles back into the public eye. Along with classic performances, it also has the most epic chase scene ever.

 

Share one thing that your readers may not know about you.

I love Prince. Purple Rain is one of my favorite movies of all time. 

If you could time travel to any point in time for just one day, when and where would you want to visit?

I would travel back to the 1930's to see Billie Holiday perform. 

 

Where is your favorite place to go in your hometown?

There is an amazing ice cream shop down the street from our house called "Milk & Honey." Hands down, it's my favorite place to go. 

 

If you had to pick one topic and talk about it for an hour, what would you choose and why? 

Harry Potter. The books and movies resonate with me on so many levels. It brought me through my childhood, and has grown with me. Only an hour? I could go on for days.

Do you enjoy cooking/baking? If so, what's your best dish?

I love to bake. One of the things I'm best at is mayonnaise cake. It's my grandma's recipe, and it tastes delicious with my peanut butter frosting. 

 

What is your favorite flower?

Lily of the Valley, they're so sweet and delicate.
