YES YES YES why yes, that IS a screenshot of my first ever Weardrobe post! I just wanted to gloat that, yes, I finally made it to Weardrobe! (Actually, it wasn't that much of an ordeal — I simply applied and then soon after I got to post my first picture.) I was inspired after I saw theModCloth Back to School competition on Krystal's This Time Tomorrow…and after just really wanting to be a part of something cool. I need likes and comments so pleeeaseeee "hit me up": weardrobe.com/likeasaturday (I had to use that name because Ann Marie also applied but under Samson and Us). HOORAY!

And today, I enjoyed a mug of water (joy), watermelon, apricot, and blackberries. A nice color combo, wouldn't you agree? Also on my plate (ha ha) is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Yes, yes, I am about five years late in reading the series. I read the first few when I was younger, and didn't like it all that much, but now I'm in LOVE. And the blue book is called "The Passage," by Justin Cronin. I just finished this 700+ monster yesterday, and let me tell you, was it GOOD. The ending…err…well…read it. I didn't think "horror fiction" was my type, but this was super awesome.

Finally, FINALLY I got the pleasure of "working" with Lily the Great — Ann Marie's cousin. She's a fantastic photographer and a wonderful girl. We went down to Lakewood Park on a blistering hot day (Saturday, with temps in the upper 90s!) to take some pictures for the ModCloth Fashion Short video contest. Starring me, Ann Marie, and another friend, Lily graciously accepted to shoot it in stop motion for us. This was the first day we tried shooting, but it didn't work out so well, and we just ended up taking fun shots and forgetting about our video.

Once we finally put it up though, pleeeease vote for us! We'd love to win a gift card to ModCloth, one of the cutest clothing websites out there.

P.S. A little treat — featured on This Time Tomorrow by Krystal (and by the rest of the Delightful Dozen) was this ADORABLE necklace collection from Jess LC. I love it! Desperately seeking jewelry. Check out the 50% off brail necklaces; the brail is misspelled, but the heart's in the right place, and as she says, it's a good way to get great jewelry for half price!

leisurely strolls and such

Summer is here, summer is here. Hooray! This means long days and hot temperatures, busy bees and pajamaed cats. (Get it?)

Anyway, this past weekend I spent time on Larchmere Boulevard, a small shopping/art district. I had a huge lunch (consisting of a Reuben sandwich, chips, a pickle, and some fruit) and even found a cute collector's card in a gallery. The best part? Lounging in a huge bookstore that even had its own kitty to match!

I'd recommend getting yourself a nice iced coffee and hanging around one, too. And that goes for both the bookstore and the cat. Oh, and the Reuben sandwich.
