Spring Shopping Ideas

Hello all...

I'm trying desperately not to go shopping BUT! if I went to the stores, here's what I would be checking out:

dresses at Banana Republic....always looking for more dresses :)

Benefit mascara- I had a sample of their bad gal lash and liked it

Clinique giveaways...I usually use the bag as my makeup bag for a few months before it's wrecked beyond repair.

dresses at madewell. YES. my favorite.

Express tops that look more grown up than my usual American Eagle casual stuff

necklaces from Forever 21. why not?

lace tops at Forever 21

shoes at DSW. looking for a nude heel

interested in the Too Faced chocolate palette...

my favorite Nordstrom dress designer: Ivy & Blu. too cute, ah!

and that's all in the 'trying not to buy' category :( I need to go clean my closet and focus on school now...

Bora Bora- Honeymoon photos

For Maria :) here's some photos. there's more on my instagram: cashen89

They're a little out of order since I combined both what I took and what Matt took...

Here's the food that was in our room when we got there (I ordered it because I knew after the long flight we would be starving)

Matt with a frufru beach drink

A traditional lunch- poisson cru- chopped up raw fish with coconut milk, rice, and lime

champagne on the deck of our room in the rain

some fish in the lagoon (there was a private lagoon at the hotel and the main lagoon of the island)

Matt on a jetski!

Matt and I during the jetski break

Shea Homes Baker Ranch Tour

Matt and I were able to go with our class today to tour the new Shea Homes product in Lake Forest...here's some photos of their amazing interior designs. They partnered with Toll Homes for the project, who also did an amazing job!

Here's a photo of the map...
