we were born and raised in a summer haze.

i'm back from the beach loves!

i have finally gotten some time in from unpacking, work, and seeing my long lost friends to blog!

it has also taken a very long time to upload and edit the 797 freeking photos i took down there, plus edit and upload all of the ones i wanted to put on here.

so i just got back from the two weeks down in daytona beach florida. my family goes every year, and since i just graduated my parents thought two weeks would be a nice treat... which it was.i brought my boyfriend, whom i had such an unbelievably amazing time with. we did a lot of tanning on the pool deck, swimming in the pool, and of course playing in the ocean and in the sand. tyler and i are like little kids when it comes to the sand. we love to dig for creatures and build castles. we also went to this awesome "ocean walk" which had lots of restaurants, shops, and of course starbucks, that we visited frequently. we went to the wizarding world of harry potter with my amazing cousins one day.i absolutely fell in love. it was literally like walking into their world which i happen to kindof be obsessed with). and the ride within the castle was the most unbelievable thing i have ever experienced. we did a lot of shopping. i literally spent all of my graduation money (oh well). so i have a lot of posts lined up for the things i bought. but i mean we didn't do too much except relax and enjoy the atlantic, which i think is an amazing way to spend a vacation.

so here are some pics!

this was from out first night out.

we also brought gemma (my most precious beloved pup). so one day we had to take her to the beach. she absolutely hated it. she hates water in the first place, it was too darn hot, and she hated being all sandy. she's very prissy.

i love my handsome boy.

so my henna tatt wore off in about a week, and when i saw this unicorn airbrush tattoo i had to get it for my dear love for and obsession with lady gaga. i thought it was a pretty neat tattoo.

out last day on the beach.

dear followers, readers, fashionistas, etc.

i cannot express my apologies for my lack of blogging for the past several months. i guess theres just been so much going on in my life and i've been too lazy to take the time to take pictures and blog. its a lot more work than it seems my dears. BUT i am getting myself a new nikon camera with my money from graduation so i'm going to try and start my blog up again. because i do love it and have put so much time and effort into and honestly miss it a lot. so in the mean time here are some recent pictures...

so for those of you who do not know, i went to new york city last week for a band trip.

we actually got to march in the 3.5 mile long st. patrick's day parade.

it was such an amazing experience, dancing down 5th Av, across from central park, and having so many people yelling adn telling you how good you are.

im not gonna lie i paid more attention to the designer shops then my dance going down 5th av.

but after the parade we got to do two more days of really awesome activities.
