Family

My little sister Lexi is graduating from high school! I can't even believe it. She's so old! She actually looks the oldest out of all three of us, which is kinda funny. We had her grad party yesterday; almost all of our family came up for the weekend for it. It was a blast! It was kind of stressful trying to prepare the house and such, then clean up immediately today for a showing we had at 2pm. But we did it. And it was allll worth it! I love my family so, so much! I am extremely lucky to have them, and even though most of us are polar opposite people, we get along super well! We're loud. We're crazy. We love coffee. (I got everyone to fall in love with the Sumatra blend...I made SO many pots of it yesterday. Let's just say my aunt and I were overly caffeinated for the majority of the day. ;) Hehe, it was grand) We love food. We love laughing. We love yard games. We love beer (and wine!). We love in depth talks. We love each other. It's wonderful. 


In two weeks we have our annual Scott family reunion where we go to Wisconsin Dells for a couple days. It's basically the best and most epic weekend of the entire year because all of us are there: all 23? of us. (I haven't counted in a while but I think that's the grand total) My cousins and I are all pretty close in age too which makes it a million times better because we're all really closely knit. I'm just very lucky and thankful to have such a great family that I know will be here for me, or I should say we'll all be here for each other- forever. I can't imagine it any other way. :)

Mini Fashion show

One of my great Nepali friends got me a beautiful white dress from Colorado when he was there this summer. My sister Lexi requested I bring home these red heels I have so she could borrow them, and I had no idea where they were buried in my room... But once I did find them, I happened to be wearing the new dress as well. I thought, hey, these kind of go together!

So I had a mini photo shoot in my room while wearing these lovely items. Enjoy :)

Summer and the lovely clothes that come with it :)

So, as most of you know, I hate summer. I abhor heat, humidity, and sun. October/ all of fall is my absolute favorite season. But after my trip to Spain, I learned to tolerate the sun and heat only slightly more than I could before.

This summer was deathly hot, but I will admit that one thing I loved about it was wearing dresses and skirts all the time! I started loving them over this past year because I realized how much more comfy they are than jeans or shorts! And Goodwill and other thrift stores usually have great deals on skirts... I do wish I had more maxi dresses because they became my utter favorite thing to wear this summer!! I am currently wearing a beautiful maxi dress that I got from my lovely little sister, Lexi, for my birthday! That's kind of what inspired this post. :)

Then once fall and winter come, you can just wear leggings and scarves and sweaters with your skirts! Woohoo! I love the boho style... It makes me so happy. Although it's apparently now becoming more mainstreamed than it used to be. :P I must say that Bekah has a lovely blog "my little loves." that inspires me like none other! I love her style, the way she lives her life, and her little family (including the new baby addition!!) Anyhow, she writes about and shows her cute, mostly-thrifted style of clothes-- and I just adore them all!

Clothes can be simple or extravagant; but I prefer the simple style. And of course Kayla has some posts that are fashion inspired that I quite enjoy as well :) I also discovered another blog that has great fashion pics as well! This girl has great pics too :)

I'm too lazy/  unaware of websites to find pictures. Maybe I'll update it later. Ha :)
