Summer Where Art Thou


No one wants summer break more than teenagers, especially because the anticipation of traveling will become a temporary reality.  Even if the only traveling done is going on a short road trip, getting away from the normal is not only thrilling but necessary in order to keep from going absolutely crazy!  These outfits are to help me to start planning for my upcoming adventures while I visit my family in Europe this June and July.  



Dream on







Also, I found out how distracting Polyvore can be today.  You can follow my Polyvore at vomitonmyface if you would like.  Yes it is a strange username but hey there are some good posts, so don't judge the sets by the username!





Summer where art thou





And so I leave you with these sets and this beautiful quote to think about as you are fantasizing for the upcoming summer heat.



     “Travel is little beds and cramped bathrooms. It’s old television sets and slow Internet connections. Travel is extraordinary conversations with ordinary people. It’s waiters, gas station attendants, and housekeepers becoming the most interesting people in the world. It’s churches that are compelling enough to enter. It’s McDonald’s being a luxury. It’s the realization that you may have been born in the wrong country. Travel is a smile that leads to a conversation in broken English. It’s the epiphany that pretty girls smile the same way all over the world. Travel is tipping 10% and being embraced for it. Travel is the same white T-shirt again tomorrow. Travel is accented sex after good wine and too many unfiltered cigarettes. Travel is flowing in the back of a bus with giggly strangers. It’s a street full of bearded backpackers looking down at maps. Travel is wishing for one more bite of whatever that just was. It’s the rediscovery of walking somewhere. It’s sharing a bottle of liquor on an overnight train with a new friend. Travel is “Maybe I don’t have to do it that way when I get back home.” It’s nostalgia for studying abroad that one semester. Travel is realizing that “age thirty” should be shed of its goddamn stigma.”

Breakfast at the Heartbreak Hotel


I'm currently obsessed with the Arctic Monkeys...shocker.  The title of one of their songs is called Piledriver Waltz, it is the song.  The lyrics inspired this outfit for today.  I know that it is pretty basic but I would rate it 10 stars for its functionality.  

The average temperature was 59 today in the middle of nowhere South Florida! It felt like a real winter day for once!
Trying to dodge the massive ant piles in my lawn isn't easy.

Also I felt that my breakfast deserved some appreciation.  Jack Johnson would be proud of these pumpkin waffles with organic honey and bananas. 

And then lunch at a somewhat healthy diner/restaurant type of thing.
