Eat Cake For Breakfast

"Eat Cake For Breakfast"

     Ok, so you might be reading the title and think to yourself, what in the world is she talking about?

Well, I was shopping around on the Kate Spade website and I saw an adorable tote bag that read "Eat cake for breakfast". I just kind of skimmed it over, thought it was cute, no big deal. But then I gave it more thought. I pretty much kept on repeating it over and over in my head. For some reason it really stuck with me.

I guess it kind of goes along with a carpe diem sort of mind set.  I've really been trying lately, to live more in the moment and not worry about what's going to happen, and especially what already happened. I seem to have the sort of issue where I 'cry over spilt milk', it's either that or I'm worrying about the future and all the 'what ifs.' 

But this quote, in it's own quirky way, is basically saying don't worry about anything for a while. Have fun. Do something crazy and spontaneous. Live a little. Enjoy life in the moment. Be unpredictable for once. Be unexpected. Take a day off. Do something you normally would never do. Take a deep breath and take everything in. Enjoy the little things. Eat cake for breakfast.

So, I was on the hunt for some new boots that would be able to withstand this horrid weather we've been having... and it dawned on me. Duck boots, duh.

My main criteria was that they had to be 

1. Long Lasting

2.Cute

3.Go with almost anything

4.Practical

5.Water/snow/slush proof.

Duck or "bean" boots fits all of these needs and more.

• Our signature boots are still sewn here in Maine and have stood the test of time
• Thinsulate™ Insulation olefin/polyester for extra warmth in the rubber part of the boot
• Supportive steel shank and rubber chain-tread bottom provide comfort and traction

An avid outdoorsman, Leon Leonwood Bean wanted to create a comfortable, dry pair of boots for tromping through the backwoods of Maine. Today, our signature boots are still sewn right here in Maine, one pair at a time, from premium full-grain leather. A supportive steel shank and our original rubber chain-tread bottom give you unmatched comfort and performance. While many boots on the market might look similar to L.L.Bean Boots, they lack the attention to detail and the premium-quality materials that have allowed ours to stand the test of time. Thinsulate™ Insulation olefin/polyester in rubber bottom for extra warmth during cold snaps."

They come in a few different colors and heights, and you can even get fur lined ones!

For my purposes, I thought these were the best for me:

They are the 8" tan, original Maine Hunting Boot.

Here are pix from my Instagram on how I wore them!

You can buy them here!

Love Lettering

Sorry for being kinda M.I.A the past few days, things have been pretty crazy!

But anywaysss, time to get back into the swing of things so today's post is going to be one of my favorites, and in the spirit of Valentines Day :) . I was flipping through the latest issue of Sweet Lemon Magazine, and I read an amazing article, that also happens to be the cover story(if you don't already subscribe to/ read Sweet Lemon you are missing out).

It was all about this company called "More Love Letters", basically each month you can send in love letter requests for a friend or family member, and then if they are chosen, anyone in the world can sign up to More Love Letters and write a beautiful love letter to these strangers, who need someone, anyone to have faith in them, and to see that they are not all alone.

This brilliant idea, was started by Hannah Brencher, who starting writing love letters to random people and would leave them all over New York City. And slowly but surely, More Love Letters has grown and grown to what it is today.

So stop on by their website, www.moreloveletters.com and participate! It's truly amazing how one letter can make such a difference in someone's life. You can even throw your own Love Lettering Valentine's Day party, and they'll send you all the things you need! I know what I'm doing next weekend!

Music to My Ears 1

    For a while there I kind of stopped listening to music, and reading, and watching tv, jst becasue I was so busy and I essentially fell of the face of the Earth for a week or two. But now that I am back up on my feet, and starting to readjust after midterms, i'm back in full swing.

    So, as I have been organizing and doing some last minute studying I had some favorite alternative(which is a fancy way of saying hipster) bands playing to help me get along:)

    Here are some of my favorites!

Call Me Maybe

    Cell phone cases, to me, are one of the most important accessories you can own. I mean think about it. What's the one thing you always have on you and everybody sees you with? Your phone! So naturally the case should represent your style,(and be pleasant to look at 24/7) so that way it will match you. But for me it's very hard to find a super cute, and yet practical phone case, which is why I went on the hunt, because I am in desperate need for a new case!

Here are some of the good ones I found!

Call Me Maybe by preppyonadime featuring kate spade

Tech accessory
This is absolutely perfect- the perfect balance of practical and adorable! What's not to love about a monogrammed Otterbox, that you can completely personalize yourself!

Kate spade
It's no secret I have a huge soft spot for anything Kate Spade, but some of my friends have these do rave about them, because not only are they super cute, but they are also made out of a really nice thick protective material!

Kate spade
Ok, I couldn't not include this one. I mean Kate Spade really hit the spot on humor on this one! 

Kate Spade Abstract Bows
This one might be the winner for me, just because I love bows almost more than anything else, & it's Kate Spade. Win-Win!

Tech Candy Bordeaux
I actually own a Tech Candy case right now, that they no longer make, and I have absolutely nothing bad to say about it! It's the most protective case I have ever owned, and I highly recommend it to anyone who's looking for an ultra protective and adorable case!
