Hey All!
Today's weather called for 80% chance of rain, so out plans for the beach somersalted into a trip to a HUGEE mall. We ate at the Rainforest Cafe, where I got a gigantic ceasar salad. {YUMMY}At the RFC there were "Lightning Shows" every 30 minutes, where lights flash and loud sounds come from speakers. It totally freaks out the younger kids, but pretty cool for the older ones. The mechanic animals move, by far the best are the elephants or the apes.I haven't stepped foot on the Florida beach sand yet, but I am hoping it clears up by tomorrow.
Adios!

It's raining cats and dogs out this morning, and it is so foggy, I can barely see out the condo's window.
But, the fun must go on. We plan to go to the local Mall, {Did I mention that it's hugggeeee?} to shop, and eat at the Rainforest Cafe.
But, for some strange reason, I am not in the mood to shop. I guess the weather is sending me depressing vibes.
Oh Well. :
I hope to end the day with another post, but I cannot make any promises.
Adios!

Hey All.
Our flight got in around 5:30-6:00ish, so right around Dinner time.
It's pretty gross here, clouds and pouring rain, forecasted for the next few days...
We are planning on going to Aquariums and Sea World though..
My Sis is physched about seeing some whale/dolphin thing, but I was looking forward to improving my farmers tan, but I guess Mother Nature disapproves.
Just Checking in to say Hello. Hope to see you all tomorrow night around this time.
Adios!

In a few short hours I will be driven down to the airport, and I cannot hold in my excited-ness. haha. My bags are all packed, {Mom forced me to use the ugly green and red floral Samsonite} and my sister and I are watching Elmo, because at 9:30 in the morning, that's the best thing that's on. Well, got to go now, last minute prep to do. ;)

Adios,
Katy

I am heading down to the beach as of tomorrow at 1:00 PM. ;)
Sooo.....today is the day for all my preparation and such. *sigh*
I will be running errands non-stop, so really no more time to say farewell!
This was just a little post to say, "Until tomorrow!". ;)

Hey everyone! Yes, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I do indeed have yet another logo/layout change. It makes the blog a lot more beachy, since, well I am going to the beach! :)
From the 29th thru the 7th I will be deep in the heart of Florida, and will document my entire stay by video camera, camera, and BLOG! Yep, using my grandparent's computer, I will be able to talk to you all about how my trip is going, what things I see, buy, or experience. I may or may not have the finger strength to post it here and the forum, but I will reconfigure that later. :)
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE read, comment, and tell everyone you know about my blog.
I hope to use this summer to crank up the ammount of readers...

Now for your daily dose of fashion!

SMB's SAFARI

[information from: www.filly.ca]

How to wear Animal prints

Do it casually. Don't try to be cute or clever by matching too many elements of an outfit; you'll look like you're trying too hard to make a fashion statement. Instead, aim for a balanced ensemble of complementary pieces.

Be a minimalist. No one wants to feel as if they have just gone on safari after spending time with you. Animal print looks best when present only in one pattern in no more than one or two elements of an outfit.

Just because something is available in animal print doesn't mean it should actually be worn. There is no shortage of clothing manufacturers out there committing fashion crimes with animal print. Translation: do not wear pants, jackets, coats or skirts in animal print patterns. Limit the print to smaller items or accessories - unless, that is, you are going for the Cruella DeVille look.

Print looks chic as a compliment to neutrals and solid color-schemes, especially basic black, chocolate brown, and beige. Smart use of animal prints: As a hand-bag, shoes, a scarf, a shirt (especially under a blazer), mittens or muffs.

Wild Print Tips

Keep everything else simple, elegant and sleek.
You are not a lion; don't wear a wild mane. If there ever was a time to have big hair, this is not it.
Animal print may bring out your wild side, but resist wearing animal print with a dangerously short skirt... you'll look like a cougar on the prowl.
Finally: If in doubt, do without!

Whew. I bet you could tell from my lousy post below this that I was pretty busy today. x)
All my friends are at camp, so this week was supposed to be one of those "Gosh, why can't the week just end already." kind of weeks. {that sentence had the word, week three times! xP}
Well. Where do I start? Oh yes. This morning I had a tennis match at 9 which I just so happened to have won.
The day went uphill from there, with me being dragged around to erands and such, until right around 2ish. With me friend-less, I lounged around and watched "True Jackson VP" reruns until 4'oclock, when I babysat and was given this really cool bracelet which I described on the forum.
After that around 5, my parents and I looked frantically for this darn receipt for our new plasma, which needs to go back to BestBuy to be replaced.
But, enough about me. Let's see what's up in the fashion world.
Check out the awesome links below to see. :)
