What A Suprise And...

2010-08-10T01:39:00.000-07:00

How sweet to be woken up by such a sweet kiss from my prince charming. it was a short stay this morning but i shall see him again soon.

I searched for quit some time and finally found an adorable little mac book. my very own to take around. on all the adventures and tea parties i go to! This also means, new posts. Its almost the end of summer, and i have missed out on all your wonderful stories & i have told non of my own. Do you want to hear a few whispers of my summer? I took off to canada and fished in the huge open sea with fisher men all excited to catch fish early in the dark morning with the cold fog bank right next to us. I also picked blueberries with my prince and ate more then we should have. We hiked in the forest and had picnics with the butterflies and eagles. Little glasses of wine and dancing under the stars, with laughter threw the night and giggles in the morning.

On the other side of this summer was hard work. behind a desk. taking care of a business isn't always easy so ive learned. but pays well and therefore worth it in the end. I do hope you've all had a lovely summer! Sorry i've missed out on so much.

i know i've been given awards. i dont think i'll be able to find them and post them on my blog. but i do want to thank you! a million delicious strawberries and a shooting star for such a thoughtful gesture.

XOXO
LILY.

ps. i promise ill be back! Because ive missed this ever so much.

Smiles To You

2010-01-13T14:27:00.001-08:00

Todays my day off! I made myself breakfast and then jumped right back into bed to eat it and watch my favorite cartoon tom and jerry. I cant wait till i hv someone to make me my breakfast in bed. but until then i dont mind making my own.
i dont care for sryup all that much. if i do have it. i always dip my food into it. never drizzle it over my food. i dont know why but ive never liked it that way. you cant see my pretty sparkly silver toes. but i painted them lastnight before bed.it was a gift from my best friend joelle. who i call joeylove.

oh! i had this white wine tea, its delicious. its called napa blanca. from a little tea shop here in hawaii. Isabella was still rather tired, and she had no reason to be. All she does is stay home. maybe just going up and down the stairs and following me threw out the house, makes her sleepy. today im going to take her to the park or maybe even the beach.
Ok, im off to spend the day with V one of my other betsies! we smile and giggle all around our beautiful hawaii. tanning on beaches. walking threw malls. eatting at favorite little restaurants. batting our eyelashes. taking silly pictures. singing out loud. quietly drinking tea. riding bikes while talking story. spotting out all the eye candy whispering our secrets. speaking our own language. writing in pretty notebooks. ending each day with a hug. &i have yet to know wat todays adventure is...

Forever,
Lily

HELLO!
Look whose back, I've left you all for a very long time. again. Its rubbish not being able to keep up with my blogging. I miss you all so dearly!

My mornings are full of getting ready. running out the door to catch the bus. and heading off to work, before the sun wakes up. not even a spare second to grab something to nibble on. work is quite busy at the moment!! Our store is full of Japanese tourist wanting to shop and buy all the cute clothes we sale! I've spent little time on the beach. so i am starting to look pale again. my Christmas was lovely. i spent it with family and friends. my favorite gift would be my perfumes! (of course) and a kolohe kai cd with my favorite song, ehu girl(:

new years eve was a blast. we had the neighbors over for dinner and a bunch of the younger kids popped fireworks all threw the night, we played games and then i fell asleep with my Isabella as the clock tick-tocked until 11:55. i woke up and celebrated new years day by drinking sparkling apple cider and shouting with everyone else(: im still thinking of new resolutions that i shall share with you soon. i hope yours was just as exciting! Happy New Year!

silly me.

2009-09-04T01:44:00.000-07:00

The starfish are my friends. they hang out to keep me company when everyone else has left me. they make me laugh as they sit on my keyboard. dancing away as i type. do you have lovely friends like my beautiful starfish-ies!?

i jumped in the shower early this morning. as i stepped out of the shower i realized i was still very sleepy. i could smell the coconut and vanilla of my shampoo and conditioner as i sat on my bed ready to fall back asleep. all fresh and clean. but i couldn't. i had a very busy day to get ready for. izy got very annoyed with me moaning and groaning about having to stay awake that she got up from the foot of my bed and hid behind one of my rather large pink pillows to get as much sleep as she could with out hearing me mumble.

After counting to ten and making a wish i jumped up and finished getting ready. i couldn't find my blush brush, so i pinched my cheeks, grabbed izy from behind my silly pink pillow, slipped my sandals on, and ran out to my car. it was raining! the two of us got all wet.

i quickly dropped her off at the doggy salon down the street and drove to the cutest cafe you've ever seen. i had a delicious acai bowl with coconut! it was so yummy i almost forgot to do my devotions as i sat in the cafe listening to smooth jazz music. i made a few more errands and before i knew it, it was time to go home...

i got home just in time to make dinner which was quite a masterpiece. considering im a bit more than a little under the weather. i made quinoa pasta with kale and bbq chicken. i don't eat meat but my family does. i couldn't make them suffer by only having healthy pasta for dinner, so i made them their favorite chicken to enjoy along side my healthy pasta dish.

the night has been with me for quite some time now, and my day was rather exhausting so it is time for me to fall asleep with my pink pillow and tiny puppy. good night lovelies!

lily.

Goodbye&Hello.

2009-09-01T01:43:00.000-07:00

When i close my eyes...

i'm climbing to my secret hiding place away from everyone up in the magical green misty forest where i'm free to write and daydream with the raindrop fairies and sound of little birds chirping away bringing a smile to my face.

I'm snacking on a few delicious cookies my mother baked for lunch. And I'm back to blogging! I'm terribly sorry I left without a warning. One crashing wave lead to another shiny of a star which led me far away from a computer for quite some time. But I promise you I am back and I shall never disappear without warning again(: hello blogging and goodbye summer...

I hope you all had a wonderful summer! There is much oh much to much to try and fill you in about my summer. But I had a wonderful time running barefoot threw the sand. Laughing into the night. Crying with loved ones. Partys with sweets and magical drinks. Counting the stars. Filling the quiet of the night by playing beautiful music. Jumping up and down only to smile bigger and bigger. Tanning in the lovely sunshine. i have lots to catch up on! i cant wait to read all your lovely special blogs tomorrow morning over breakfast!

goodnight!

xoxo

Lily

Easter morning i woke up to find a tiny gift waiting for me on my bathroom counter. i slowly opened it to find the prettiest little headband. mascara. a pinky lipgloss. and some yummy chcolate. i started nibbling on the chocolate before i could take a picture of my sweet gift.
i stumbled upon the cutest little tag this week! but i cannot remember where so i am sorry i cannot mention the sweet blog i found it on. All you have to do is answer with the first thing you think of when you read the phrase. & tag two people.

Don't forget to: kiss me goodnight
Can't live without: the midnight moon & its twinkling star friends
My last dream: made me laugh
The place you miss most: home
Going out: for breakfast, is my favorite
Close your eyes: &im in your arms

i tag the creative Michelle from Sticky Kitten & Sara from Thursday Afternoons <3333

it snowed all day yesterday. &i was trapped in the house. i looked out my window & watched as the snowflakes came falling fast from the sky. i had a tiny photoshoot with my little sister. she wore a pink tutu i made a while ago. it was a bit silly of us. but we laughed and had fun.

i want to be a star. to glow and shine.

2009-04-06T12:18:00.001-07:00

I visited the next town over this week and stopped in a tiny shop on their main street. i found a pair of peacock earring that i absolutely loved. they somewhat get lost in my auburn hair but the blue and green catch your eye. the lady working in the shop was the nicest girl i have met in a long time. she made me laugh and showed me around the shop and all the little things they had for sale. i also found a tiny stick of perfume. its so darling. its perfect for my purse and purple! one of my favourite colours!

It was my parents anniversary last night. After going out to dinner to celebrate we all came home and my mother and i watched the movie Stardust while eating a very chocolate coconut pie she made the other day. Have you seen the movie? it was darling! i fell in love with it and i secretly wish i lived in such an adventurous and magical world. where they sold babylon candles to transport you to any place you thought of, where unicorns came to your rescue, where a boy would come and throw rocks up at my window during the night and take me a to a beautiful picnic under the stars with champagne and candles. and how lovely would it be to glow like a star every time you got that tingling feeling inside or felt so overly happy. if you havent seen the movie you must! it was just the cutest.

Im sitting by the fire nibbling on a slice of banana bread my sister made for breakfast this morning. Outside the sun is out and the snow is melting slowly. my week ahead is to be lazy. stay in bed. drink tea. paint my nails. watch movies. and bake sweet sugary goodies while still in my pajamas. Finally after all this work ive been ever so studiously working on while hidden away in my princess chamber I have an entire week to sit back and relax. To stay curled up in warm fuzzy blankets. and sip delicious tea from pretty little tea cups. and catch up on very needed sleep.

Hello Again!!

2009-03-17T17:04:00.000-07:00

OhMy! it has been to long. to long. to long. I can't believe its been longer than a month since my last post. it makes me sad i haven't been able to post lately. i miss it dearly! as well as reading all of your wonderful blogs! My days have been filled with sweet desserts. laughter. dear old friends. extra work. surprises. little sleep. many cups of tea. snowflakes. more work. a new hair colour. new friends. research. party planning. and a dream come true!
This semester i have three extra classes. Which takes up all of my precious free time. i only have two more months and then im finished with school. and i can sit back and enjoy summer! which is my dream come true...im moving back to hawaii!! I cried i was so happy to hear my family decided to pick up and move back, and i shall go with them. finally back to my home sweet home. of course i shall miss my beautiful winter wonderland. but my frozen little toes and nose will be so happy to be back in the warmth of the sunshine.

This past week hannahlove came to visit. It was such a lovely week getting to spend time with her. i hadnt seen her in two years!! you can image how excited we both were to finally see each other again. We spent our nights on main street eating crepes and sitting around the warm fire. we met a drunk old lady who was the cutest little thing. she made us laugh the whole time she was by the fire. we also met a guy from hawaii! i was so excited to meet someone from my home sweet home. Hannahlove is home and i miss her. mainstreet isnt the same without her. but my cousins, aunties, and uncles are flying in today for a week. so our house will be full of people. I love having family visit.

Saint Patricks Day, i bought myself a big cookie. and shared it with my little sister. and even gave a tiny piece to isabella. she thought i was very delicious and wanted another piece. but my little sister and i had already eaten the whole cookie. all that was left were tiny cookie crumbs on our fingers and around out mouths. i sat back today and wrote in my notebook, another little poem...

You're the sparkle in my heart

That makes my smile grow

Because with you I laugh

When I'm with you

My soul dances

And heart takes flight

Because with you I dream

Your something special

Because with you I live

Life is so much happier

When you're here

Please oh please don't leave

My heart tells me

I have a secret crush on thee....

Izzy is curled up and ready to go to sleep. i've had a long day and tonight is so cold. i think ill fall a sleep in my fuzzy jacket. like a snow angel. Goodnight lovelies. I shall be back soon with more sweet posts. Thank you thursday afternoons for such a wonderful awad. I was full of smiles and giggles to see such a thougthful gift waiting for me.

2009-01-27T14:21:00.001-08:00

my room is slowly disappearing into brown boxes that are piling up. im moving! not far however. just up the street around the corner and threw the trees. the sweet tunes of john mayer. meaghan smith. matt hires. and susie suh have been playing all weekend long. ive danced around my room. day dreamed away. and made silly faces in the mirror. do u like my bangs? its so different for me. but i am getting used to it...

its ok to cry. a broken heart. a cookie or two. friends to make me laugh. and snow to make all things beautiful again. this week was hard. charles micheal and i are no more. but i have cried my tears away. now i choose to be happy. Valentines Day i am going to visit my best friend Livi in Chicago. how excited we both are to see each other. and we have decided to dress up and go to a fancy dance. drink tea and eat cupcakes. stay up late and watch movies in black and white. paint each others nails and dance to happy music.

i am still stuck in my winter wonderland. its been warm lately. so much that the pond melted. and i saw duckies swimming around. i named them and sang them little songs. sitting inside near the fire i sat looking up at the stars. connecting the dots to makes silly constellations. i wish i lived on the moon in a far away galaxy with purple gold and turquoise stardust. or in an open meadow. with pink and orange butterflies to whisper little secrets to. and peanut butter sandwiches on sweet white bread to share with the fluffy grey rabbits that would hop and bop around the meadow with the baby lambs. id pick pretty daises to stick in my hair and have pretty acoustic music to fall asleep to. some thing like this...

i have been horrible at replying to comments. forgive me! my life has been all over the place lately. ive read every single one of them and they all make me smile and happy inside. you all are so sweet. and i may not comment on your posts but i do visit your pages and read ur posts (:

XoXo,
Lily

My Smile Is From You

2009-01-20T22:24:00.000-08:00

Whispering in the movies,

Laughing at each other,

Treating me at the ice cream shop.

At the second goodbye, I didn’t want to leave

♥

With your laughter

My smile grew and heart melted to

Who would have thought?

The two of me and you

Together while the clock was ticking.

♥

Back and Forth the same ride twice

until we found the road to take

Muddy hike and little giggles

My heart smiled till it was over

♥

my last day, an acaia bowl for breakfast

an almost food fight

a perfect hug, I didn’t want to leave

the sparkle of my little secret,

i want to STAY!

watch the pink and orange sunset

laugh and smile...forever

i wrote in my notebook. and fell asleep. naps are ever so wonderful. you wake up refreshed and ready to study. atleast thats what i had to do. but not for to long.

goodnight bloggers! i hope you enjoyed the poem <3

Far Far Away In Paradise

2009-01-16T13:57:00.000-08:00

It seems as if ive been away for an entire sparkly life time and two moons. Lost in the beauty on the island of Oahu. Watching the pretty sunsets, hiking the luscious green mountains, swimming in the glassy blue oceans, laughing with friends and family, and finding little treasures.
christmas and new years eve was as magical as it always is. christmas morning presents were unwrapped and surprised faces were a joy to see pumpkin pancakes were delish! and lunch with the family was filled with laughter and hugs. fireworks popping at midnight to celebrate 2009. apple cider. red wine. cheers and people shouting "Happy New Year!" couples kissing. happy faces. rhinestone headbands. tea plates. a strand of colourful good luck elephants. notebooks. pens. perfume. nail polish. and fizzy bubble bath balls. all my little treasures i picked up on my lovely stay in hawaii. my firework pictures i must track down. i will add them as soon as i find those silly pictures. now its time for me to go downstairs and make myself a warm cup of tea and then bundle up to go down to main street and run few errands. I cant wait to sit down tomorrow and read all the post ive missed and catch up on my reading. and thank you for the comments!

Have a lovely weekend sweet bloggers!

lick the sugar off my fingers

2008-12-14T03:50:00.001-08:00

my luggage was packed. two different plane rides were taken. loong needed naps were taken and beautiful music filled the time it took to travel from my winter wonderland to my home sweet home, hawaii. it was not sunny and bright. as i had expected it to be. when i stepped off the plane it was rainy and foggy. fog is always beautiful, but i was in dire need of the shining sun. to my suprise it has been stormy the last few days, and is to stay like so for a while. i have had lots of fun even with the rain.

shopping with friends. visiting uncles and my dear dear grandpa. apple pie. fudge pie. holiday decorations. jingle bells. shopping for christmas. stomping in puddles. giggles all the way home. and singing at the top of our lungs.

tomorrow i will go to church. come home to take a wisper of a nap. take a few pictures and write a post for our dear friend the tea english drinking rose. of my home comforts!
for now i must get to sleep before i get oh so tired i cant wake up! hehe

goodnight all you lovely ones!
Sweet dreams!

sorry there are no pictures :( its very hard to upload pictures when i still dont have a computor of my own.

i want to dream in the clouds

2008-12-05T20:10:00.000-08:00

so very exhausted i am. running around all day. i forgot it was a friday. tomorrow i will sleep in. tucked away under my butterfly sheets. nice and warm i will stay. and drift off into a sweet sweet daydream. of sunshine and daisies. cotton candy and pink sprinkles. unicorns and little fairies. and ill wake with a smile and ill be all rested. but still i may spend the saturday on the sofa in front of the fire place watching movies like the holiday and home alone. drinking hot cocoa as it snows outside. i think it most appropriate for the christmassy season. oh! and i could wrap presents at the same time.

my pixie dust and new rainbow blue plate i found in georgia at a second hand store. with my butterfly hair clips and new heart earrings. i love pretty hair clips to pin my curly hair back.

i had a few gingerbread cookies before getting ready for bed. i think santa would love if i left him little gingerbread cookies on christmas eve. what do u think? with a glass of milk.

A Quick Hello

2008-11-25T22:11:00.000-08:00

hello darlings!

i am having such a lovely time here in california. seeing my dearest friends and sweet cousin. shopping down melrose and eatting cake at little cafes. buying christmas gifts and finding the cutest little black flats, for myself. seeing a certain celebrity (he was very much a cutie) and taking tons of fun pictures.

i have no time to actually post with pictures and tell of my adventures. but i promise to when i get home. tomorrow i leave very very early to head to georgia. how exciting. seeing my sweet charles michael after such a long time. i have tiny butterflies in my stomach and my little cheer faires in my head are jumping up and down for joy.

im off to pack and get to sleep. Night!

much love to all,
Lily

all smiles today

2008-11-23T09:11:00.000-08:00

such sweet comments to come back to after a long day of traveling. Thank you! i had hoped to post before i left, but i was still packing an hour before leaveing for the airport. i was sent this pretty picture of the sunrise yesterday morning from my betsie Olivia.

yesterday i had taekwondo testing. hehe. it was my first test. i only just started. i was so nervous but i broke a board and passed my test. after passing i hurried home to finish packing and leave for the airport. such a long drive it was. but such a yummy lunch to make up for the long drive. a sweet pastery and green tea.

california isnt as cold as where i live now. but it was still cold. so i cozzied up to the fire for a short while while i waited for my best friend to get to the hotel. shes spending thanksgiving here from hawaii!! i was so happy to see her.

thank you again for the smile bringing comments! i am off to get ready for the day. today i will spend at Disney Land. i will be back with magical pictures for you all. and i will be sure to reply if not tonight tomorrow morning.

have a lovely weekend!

2008-11-21T21:46:00.000-08:00

Well today i took my computer to the computer doctor. guess what he told me...something i wished all night not to hear. my little blue computer has died. all is lost. pictures, memories, videos, messages. all gone.

i think i had a few tears drop down my face.

i will get over it. tonights sleep hopefully will give me sweet dreams and ill wake up to a better day than today. do u think so? i sure hope so.

i have to pack my bag tonight for tomorrows flight to california. my sister has been so sweet to let me use her computor, so i will post in the morning before i am off flying in the clouds.

my poor little computor

2008-11-20T20:16:00.000-08:00

i was in the middle of posting when all of a sudden my computor made high pitch beeping noises and shut off! and i wasnt able to turn it back on. hopefully, it will work soon! i am on my sisters computor, but all my pictures are on my little computor. so no posts until i can fix it.

off to bed i am, after a cup of tea. i wish sweet dreams to all.
xoxo,

tea for the week

2008-11-18T16:33:00.001-08:00

so very very busy i have been! lots of lovely things filled my week:
a cup of sugar cookie sleigh ride tea. vanilla cake. christmas music. chocolate covered strawberries. jasmine tea. lots of studying for different tests. packing bit by bit. alterations to a dress i bought 3sizes to big. card games with my sister. food fights with my mother. dancing and singing. napping. long phone conversations. sweet smiles. dreaming. painting. more smiling. sugar plum spice tea. laughing. picture taking. staring up at the stars. milk and cookies. christmas shopping. lots of planing and thinking for the future. and slowly wrapping pretty little gifts.

my ceiling is covered more than before, but still not completely. today i mailed lots of little letters out, wrapped a few gifts, practiced the song santa baby, and had lots and lots of tea. im recording a christams cd, for fun, this friday. im nervous and excited. the songs playing now are songs i recorded for fun, a while back. this week ive got to pack pack pack! and study study study! thats all i should be doing, but of course as always, i get distracted.

i talked and talked and talked to my best friend last night. a much needed conversation to make up for the past few months. it was so good to get to talk to her. made me smile the night away. it is already wednesday and i leave saturday, and there is oh so much to do before then! i have tidied up my room, so that is taken care of. i am keeping my fingers crossed, that i can schedule my appointment for my drivers license, which i was supposed to get a while back! but i have been lazy. i am praying and praying that i will get in before december 10th! i have heard it is quite busy. that is the date however i wish to get my license, because soon after, i go back home to my sweet sweet hawaii! how i miss it.

Polaroid Happy

2008-11-13T20:15:00.001-08:00

Goodness Gracious how i adore polaroids!! I have been taged by Michelle from Sticky Kitten! It is the 6 Unimportant Things That Make You Happy tag. The rules are: mention the person who nominated you. list 6 unimportant things that make you happy. tag 5 blogs. state the rules. notify them with a teeny comment on their blog that they have been nominated.

Hmmmmm, 6unimportant things that make me happy...
1. When im walking down the street and a perfect stranger compliments me. i get that cheerful, happy, lighthearted feeling inside that makes my day all the brighter.
2. Falling asleep outside under the stars. Theres something about the outside wind quietly blowing against my skin and the rustling of the leaves, the glowing of the moon, and the dark night sky. its so relaxing and peaceful.
3. Candles! Candles! Candles! Have i mentioned i love candles? the lovely smell of candles and the flicker of the light in a dark room. If i go out shopping, and all i buy is a candle i am as happy as a little kid in a candy shop.
4. Writing and sending secret letters to friends. I love to write and decorate little notes to send to my friends, as well as boyfriend. I love the feeling i get when i find a letter in the mail for me. i want all my friends to have that happy feeling once in a while to.
5. Going out for breakfast. Its my favorite. The smell of sweet yummy pancakes and eggs with some blueberries and strawberries, in a cute little cafe, the sun rising, and the morning freshness. it all makes me very very happy.
6. When im woken up with a call from charles micheal. it doesnt happen alot. he's a few hours ahead of me. so when i get a call from him saying goodmorning at 4am it puts the biggest smile on my face. and i fall back asleep with my sweet smile.

2008-11-11T20:39:00.001-08:00

suprise. suprise. as i ate my breakfast i was quietly being watched by a little friend. he seemed so curious as he stared at me through the patio door. he wondered around the patio for quite some time, and wasnt shy or scared when i started taking pictures. he was such a lovely photogenic fox.
the snow didnt last all day. it melted by the afternoon. but what a beautiful site to wake up to. my winter wonderland. the day was still cold enough to have hot chocolate. yummm!
i cut out pictures from my nylon magazines to make a collage on a plain white envolope. i had lots of fun pasting and glueing. my fingers kept sticking together.

two pages i added to my ceiling. such beautiful pictures. reminded me of my polaroid camera, so i went to the store and bought film to take pictures. which i will post later. right now its time for me to finish up my laundry and get under the warm covers and fall fast asleep. 14more days!

ps. one last thing!! I have the tea drinking english rose to thank for my big big smile and such a lovely award! how sweet of you! i am truely so happy.

What lovely things

2008-11-10T19:40:00.000-08:00

Such a beautiful pink sky to sleep under and pretty moon to look at through the bedroom window. i wish my sky at night looked like this everynight as i drift off to sleep...

the day was spent sleeping away. sweet dreams. and yummy treats to wake up to. much work is waiting to get done. my laundry is piling up high. school books need reading. papers to be written. and my messy room is waiting patiently to be tidied up. of course i cant get anything done. because i get so distracted with silly things....

I painted my pot with glitter and tied a bunch of pink ribbon around it. and put my rosemerry into it. it smells so lovely and looks perfect on my shelf next to my little piggy bank a sweet gift from my dear friend Starflower and Indigo. When i woke up from my long nap my mother had made such delicious blueberry scones and cut up all the strawberries. i hate them while looking through magazines and pictures to cut out to paste into my notebook.

EXCITING NEWS!

im flying to disneyland in two weeks. and my best friend and cousin will be there also. im so excited to see them. i miss my family and friends so dearly. and only 16more days till i fly to see my charles michael!! such a wonderful november ahead of me.

Flicker Caught My Eye

2008-11-08T10:29:00.000-08:00

I love the softness and beauty from these photos...

Its a quiet morning, my family has left to help paint the church down the street. I love waking up to a quiet house, i turned on the radio and washed the dishes, took the trash out, and vaccumed. Im sure it will give sweet smiles to my mother's face, she deserves it though. She is the one always cleaning up after me and my sisters. Lastnight, i guess she came up to check on me after i had fallen asleep and noticed i was curled up in a ball because it was so cold. I woke up to a nicely toasted room, and the soft buzzing noise of a tiny heater. How sweet, she brought up a portable heater to keep me warm durning the night. Maybe that is why i slept so peacefully...

Dear Readers,

2008-11-06T14:23:00.001-08:00

it snowed all night, and is still snowing. it is already 2pm and the sun finally decided to shine. it is beautiful outside. the snow sparkles in the sunlight and makes it look like glitter is falling from the sky. im sitting on my sofa, infront of the fire place, sipping a cup of green tea and looking through my new free people magazine that came in the mail yesterday! its filled with gorgeous photos, lovely outfitts, and i even found some really cute decorating ideas.

I love this jacket, for the winter.

It looks so soft and comfy! I am always buying jackets. I get cold so easily!

I just think this is such a pretty photo. i love the soft pink and grey, the layering, and her little hippie headband.

This is cute to.

The catalog, has so many more wonderful clothes!!

How fun would it be to be a model for them!!

(Oh! excuse me while i french braid my sisters hair)
alright im back. Ive told her over and over again that i dont know how to french braid. yet she still asks me to. speaking about hair, ive found a new way of styling my hair. i tease it at the top and pin it up with bobby pins...kinda like a half up half down, but sometimes i pull the rest into a pony tail. i like it alot, its very clean looking and makes me a bit older looking. which i love because i look much younger than i really am. everyone tells me ill appriencate it when im much much older. but for now, id like to look my age instead of someone much younger.
I feel though, no matter how old i get ill never really grow up. im in love with kiddish things like:

*Never wanting to go to bed at night, and then never wanting to wake up in the morning

*Watching sunday morning cartoons. like Tom and Jerry or The Flintstones

*Getting sticky hands from my melting ice cream (ive never learned to eat my ice cream quick enough so that it doesnt melt all over me)

*Taking bubble baths

*Jumping on the bed

*Goodnight kisses

*Stuffed animals, i still have my teddy bear from when i was 2years old

*Watching Disney movies like The Little Mermaid, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Cinderalla, Snow White. All my favorite.

*Getting excited about little things

*Eatting with my hands (i cant help it)

*Being read to

and so many more things, im still a little kid at heart

Xoxo, Lilly

p.s. 20more days!

Sweet Dreams

2008-11-03T15:19:00.000-08:00

Every year me and my sisters put together a wishlist of things we want for Christmas. We each decorate our list and add to it as the month goes on, until the week of Christmas. Usually we dont start until December, but this year we are to excited to wait so lastnight i got together with my sister and we started making our list. I also made a light pink tutu, finished up my letters to charles michael, cleaned up (just a little), studied for my classes, and by the end of the night i was so exaughsted that i fell asleep in the pink tutu. I had sweet dreams, and i was woken up with the sweetest text message...

FROM: Charles Michael

"Good morning most beautiful girl in the universe! I figure you either went to sleep or didnt get my text (lastnight) I just want to tell you i love you and i am so glad i have you in my life. I love you nikki stick! Mwaa!"

It deffinantly started my day off with the biggest smile! he comes up with the funniest nick names for me, like nikki stick, sugar stick, and bamboo stick...hes got such an imagination, which i love. 23more days!

So far i have accessories from Betsey Johnson on my wishlist. She is my favorite designer, i love her funky sassy style. i also love headbands, and this one is soo cute!!

Together Again <3

2008-11-01T22:27:00.001-07:00

Im so excited to finally see my charles michael on the 26th!! Im starting to count down the days, its been much to long since we've last been together, i miss him dearly! Thanksgiving at his house will be amazing, and with my busy weeks ahead, im sure time will fly by, and ill be jumping into his arms in no time!!

Just Another Lily Day

2008-10-28T16:08:00.000-07:00

Such a beautiful day. and lots of work still to be done. i am in love with the coffee shop down the street. the the hussle and bussle of people in and out yet the calm smoothing jazz makes the enviroment so relaxing. and they have so many delicious treats to choose from, biscottis, cupcakes, giant cookies, blueberry scones, carrott cake, chocolate cake, fruit smoothies, ice cream cones with sprinkles. they have every dessert u could possible think of. today i walked down to quietly sip a cup of green tea and nibble on a slice of banana bread while i studied my history and later i started to journal & daydream about moving to new york city next year, and what that would be like. im excited and cant wait. most people ask if im nervous, and i say not at all. im ready, its been my dream since i was a little girl to move to the city.

How lovely itd be to:
dress up and see the wonderful broadway shows
walk up and down the many streets of fabulous boutique & shops
stand on the curb and hold out your hand to catch a taxi (what a thrill that would be. while all the cars rush past you)
spend a saturday visiting different flee markets and street fairs
setting up a picnic in cetral park
eat in unique little cafes
and just strolling around explore all of new york city

some of my favorite shops. betsey johnson. only hearts. c ronson.

and i will share a secret with you...

jungle plantet. my secret hidden shop i ABSOLUTELY LOVE. she makes beautiful jewelery and has the cutest clothes. a very tiny shop stuffed with lovelyness. i ADORE walking up those stairs and stepping into her little shop of happiness. its just so peaceful looking around at all the little trinkets and treasures she has.

Fairs & Treasures.

2008-10-26T20:13:00.000-07:00

Since i was out and about this weekend, and not able to have a cup of tea...i am sitting down now with a big cup of Aveda Tea watching a little tv.

I went to the fair this weekend with some friends, since it was halloween, they had a fantastic haunted house, and everyone was dressed up! I've decided to be Marie Antoinette this year and i am making my dress, so i went to the fabric shop and bought gold and light pink material and lace of course. it should turn out really cute...im excited to start sewing away on my sewing machine tomorrow!

Oh! Guess What! I found my lost treasure...a beautiful necklace my charles michael gave to me for my birthday this year. i was so happy to have finally found it (i searched and searhed for a week and a half) that i cried. you must know, i cry all the time. When im happy, sad, confused, lost, tired, suprised, laughing, having a good time, loved, lonely, dreaming, sleeping, singing...all the time.

I also bought this new top at OU when i was in the city, and i wore it with black leggings and my black boots today. It was perfect because although the sun was out today, there was a cool breeze, so the leggings kept my legs nice and warm.

I Want...I Need <3

2008-10-23T12:30:00.000-07:00

I want these boots to keep my little toes warm this winter!

I remeber wanting to buy these dresses while i was in NYC over the summer. but i didnt. and now they're on sale at UO. If only i didnt live so far away form a mall, id be rushing to ring these two up at the register.

I LOVE TO WEAR DRESSES.
and if i cant wear them becasue its to cold
I LOVE TO BUY THEM (and fill my closet with them!!)

A Lazy Wednesday.

2008-10-22T15:14:00.000-07:00

To much studying makes a poor girl very tired, so I stayed in bed this morning and watched one of my favorite movies, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. If you haven’t watched it…you must!!

The sun is finally out. I must get out to and run a few errands around town. Tonight, ill be back in my comfy bed under the covers hiding from the cold the night brings watching a new episode of Pushing Daisies, the cutest tv show.

Snowy Snowy Day

2008-10-21T15:38:00.000-07:00

Today was perfect for: rosemarry crackers, cheese, apple slices, and of course a cup of tea! i tried a new tea today, blueberry green tea. it wasnt my favorite, i loved the smell more than the way it tasted, but i enjoyed it a bit more after adding a couple german sugar rocks. It snowed mostly all day and i didnt feel like getting out of my comfy grey sweatpants and black long sleeve. so i stayed bundled up on the sofa and studied the day away. ive got alot to study this week.

Everytime i grow my bangs out, i want them cut again.

Everytime i cut them, i want them grown out.

Why cant i make up my mind whether to have them long or short?

I wish it were easy to decide, but i cant seem to make up my mind.

I have all new magazines! ill be able to finish covering my ceiling with magazine pages...

Halloween is almost here!!

2008-10-20T22:46:00.000-07:00

What to be for halloween...im running out of time! I dont know what i want to be this year, and time is flying by much to quickly. Im going out with friends to dinner and then maybe we'll walk around Main Street giving out candy to the little kids who run around collecting as much chocolate as they possibly can. Then back to my house for hot cocoa. But there will be no fun if i dont have a fun costume to dress up in. Hmmmm... what to do. what to do.

Tea For Everyone!

2008-10-19T19:43:00.000-07:00

apparently i packed heavy, compared to the rest of my family who only packed one bag each. i had three bags, and still managed to forget soemthing...my tooth brush! luckly i can find that at any local shop.

since last weekend didnt work out, i had high tea with my aunty this weekend at a beautiful historical hotel. they had someone playing the piano, two different types of scones, three different tea sandwiches, and lots of different pasties all extremely delicious. i had jasmine on a cloud tea, the cutest name, i thought.

this is not fair.

2008-10-16T17:50:00.000-07:00

sad. sad. sad. ive lost something so dear to me, and am in tears. i cant seem to find it anywhere, ive searched my entire room. turned it upside down, looked in my shoe boxes, in all my drawers, the tiny pockets in my bags, under my pillow, even in my laundry basket and its still no where to be found. i wont give up unitl i know where its gone. since ive been looking all day i decided to sit down and have some almond butter and jam sandwhiches with strawberry tea. atleast thats what i think it is, i fond it in some random can in the cabinet, but it smells of strawberries, so thats what i think im drinking. the tiny almond butter and jam sandwhiches do make me smile, its the perfect snack to sit down to and aslo something i love dearly.

Isabell was the lazy one today, all she did was sleep by the fire place and yawn. I have a wedding to go to this weekend. I am excited about the wedding, i havent been to one since i was little. Plus ill get to dress up and put my heels on and that is always fun. yes yes i am very excited, but my lost treasure will be in the back of my mind. i hope i find it soon.

Oh the joys the day brings...

2008-10-15T15:42:00.000-07:00

Shadows! I went out to the coffee shop with my sister today. We studied for a while and then walked up and down main street. It was so quiet, no one was out. All you could hear where the leaves blowing in the wind. My hair was blowing and sticking to my lipgloss. It was so beautiful though, the sun was out and the sky was bright blue! I got distracted starring into the sky at all the clouds and the funny shapes they make.

I came home and made snowball cookies and dreamt of visiting pairs, eatting at cute cafes, writing a book, living in a cute cabin in the country, sitting by the fire, and drinking hot cocoa while listening to christmas music. I know we still have Halloween and Thanksgiving coming up, but im ready for Christmas! I want to hang up the stockings, make my wish list, go shopping for friends, wrap presents, decorate the tree, and have christmas carolers at my dooor!
Oh! but first Halloween! My oh My i havent decided what to be yet...

Happiness Wrapped In A Box!

2008-10-14T09:51:00.001-07:00

A present for me! My dearest friend back at home sent me a lovely birthday present. I was so excited and suprised to recieve her gift in the mail. As i opened the cutest little box it was wrapped in, i found a sassy coach ring! a perfect fit. Orange and Gold, two colours that i love to wear. Yes, my birthday was a few months ago...but better late than never, i always say. anyways im not the greatest at sending things out on time either, so it doesn't matter to me, i get a good laugh out of extremely late gifts.

thank you my love!

Friend-iversary

2008-10-13T21:58:00.000-07:00

Today was very lazy. i had pumkin pie and cookie tea for lunch. studied for chemistry class. talked to my boyfriend. put stamps on all my letters. took a long nap. and thought of ryan and michael (my two best guy friends who live much to far away) when i watched this clip of Marc and Amanda from ugly betty. Something we would probally do...

No shopping for the shopaholic and No more summer

2008-10-12T08:22:00.001-07:00

(my socks make me look like i have no feet!)

This weekend i went down to the city and walked past all the divine things to buy in the mall. Why do i have to be so poor? All the cute headbands and jewlery and perfumes, oh! and lets not forget shoes! it all makes me quite determined to put an end to my empty wallet. However, i did buy myself some flowers becuse thats about all i had money for. I love love love decorating my room with flowers. It most certainly made my day. and i think its officially winter because its absolutley freezing outside, so today im packing away all my summer dresses and making room for my coats, scarfs, hats, and boots! but NOT my favorite top! i refuse to pack it away for the winter, to bundle up ill just wear a thin jacket and my new balck and white coat over it. i just love the jewwl detail. oh, how could i forget...i painted my nails! hot pink. its always fun painting ur own nails, ive become quit good actually.

Under the Moon

2008-10-10T10:45:00.000-07:00

There’s something so magical about the way the moon shines against the dark black sky at night. Lately, I’ve been quite obsessed with the moon…I guess, I never really seemed to notice it before. Every night im more and more amazed as I stare at it through my bedroom window. It has me mesmerized!
The marvelous fact that someone across the country can be starring at the same moon at the same time as you, is unbelievably sweet and romantic in a way.
I was able to take a picture of the full moon and the reflection in the lake with my cell one night. It was so beautiful, I could have wished upon the moon!

This evening was great fun! I went to an art class and came home to BAKE my heart out! With chocolate covered fingers and flour on my nose i felt like i was five again helping mom in the kitchen when she would bake. But this time it was all me and all new recipes ive never tried before. I made a divine Pumkin Pie, Chocolate Swirl Bundt Cake, and a Spinach Quiche for breakfast tomorrow. In between cakes, i sat down to watch Ungle Betty one of my most loved tv shows.

Vanilla Lattes, Zuchini Wraps, and Baby Outfitts

2008-10-09T18:06:00.001-07:00

Since the sun was out today i walked down to the local coffee shop to sit out on their pattio and study my history. I ordered a vanilla latte and bought the cutest notebook they were selling. I studied outside until the sun went down behind the mountains, then i moved inside where i was suprised to find completely empty! I had many places to choose from, but i decided to sit on the leather sofa and continue reading. They had Billie Holiday playing soflty, which i loved!
So i came home and put on my playlist of jazz music and cooked dinner. I made zuchini lasagna and while it cooked in the oven, i had to hand feed my isabella. For some reason she wouldnt eat unless i sat next to her bowl and fed her each kibble of food, one at a time. I dont know whats gotten into her...
I've finished writing my letters for my boyfriend this week, now i have to put them in an envolope and get down to the post office to mail them out. Im thinking of adding a Subway gift card for him since hes been running low on money lately. I just think itd be a sweet suprise...lunch on me!!
On Saturday im going down to denver to have tea with my aunt whose pregnant! Also, my best friend is pregnant and having a girl! So i have to buy her something...im thinking of spoiling her with something form juicy, one of my most favorite brands!!

Aren't these adorable for new born babys. I think shes naming her baby girl Kassidy, but im not sure...i helped her pick out the name, but shes not due till febuary so she has awhile to think about other names. Goodness, I cant wait to have my own baby girl, i can dress up in cute clothes!!

Breakfast With Audrey

2008-10-06T21:00:00.000-07:00

It was the perfect morning to make some homemade brownies and a cup of tea and jump right back into bed! To curl up under the covers and pretend like i was studying for my chemistry class, which is tomorrow, but actually watch Breakfast at Tiffany's. It snowed this morning, which means it was to cold to get out of bed longer than i had to to make my brownies. The weather cant seem to make up its mind. Just the other day it was sunny and beautiful, and now it decides to snow! This back and forth, cold and hot weather is making me crazy, because i dont know if its time to put away my summer clothes to make room for my warm winter clothes or if i should wait. I dont want to say goodbye to my summer dresses, so i do hope i have a few more weeks of the lovely sun!! Besides i just bought the cutest dress, i cant wait to wear! Maybe tomorrow will be sunny...

I wish for the sun
To come and warm me up
like toast in a toaster
like a matshmellow over a fire
im an ice cube longing to be melted
quick quick i cant stand it much longer

The Secret Garden

2008-10-02T12:52:00.000-07:00

It was pouring rain this morning, and the thunder was so loud it startled isabell, my dog, that she ran upstairs and jumped into bed with me. By this afternoon, the rain went away and the sun came out! And i was able to have a cup of tea and a slice of quiche in my backyard.
Mr Gnome was hiding in my garden, and i didnt notice until i was rolling around carelessly in the grass. The tea pot i found at a street fair and i use it to water my herbs which i admit i must tend to more often. Later this week i plan to buy some sage, basil, mint, and lavander to decorate my window sill.

Im Just Company

2008-10-01T10:19:00.000-07:00

Sillys boys, they never stop playing their video games. My boyfriend is in college, and i spent the morning on the phone with him while he played 'Metal Gear Solid 4'. I say that like i know what im talking about, when infact i dont! I just asked him what game he was playing, and it took me a while to figure out what he said...Im completely clueless when it comes to video games. Id rather bake cupcakes, or read a book, or just sit there next to him while he plays and of course pay no attention to the game, id admire at how into the game and excited he gets. He goes into his own little world when he plays his games, so it wasn't much of a conversation, but that doesnt bother me. When im on the phone with him like that, it makes it feel like im actually there. I was able to clean my room, put a load of laundry in the washer, and finish a little homework while he played away...
Todays, the 1st of the month! Which means i see him next month for Thanksgiving! Im so excited, its been to long since ive last seen him, and i have to say im in dire need of a sweet kiss
