happy august!

hi loves!

since it's been SO LONG since i've blogged (bad blogger, i know!), i'm going straight to the outfit:


shirt -- forever 21, skirt -- target, heels -- rack room shoes, belt -- kohls (simply vera, i believe), necklace -- alloy, earrings -- charlotte russe, garnet bracelet -- gift.

i feel very conservative in this outfit; my grandmother absolutely loved it when i went to church this morning. xD but it's cute, i suppose.

i love these earrings! they're so delicate; i'm going to wear them in my second piercing, when i can switch out earrings... on thursday! :D i'm so excited!

what i've been doing as of late: so, i went on vacation last week. it was a blast! i went to valdosta first, then the grandparents, stepmom, & myself went to jacksonville beach. we picked up my dad who flew into the jacksonville airport, & he spent the weekend with us. i LOVE jacksonville. the vibes are so chill; skateboarders & surfers & bike-riders permeate the beach community. there are lots of dive-places to eat, which i love just for the atmosphere; it's a little hard to find vegetarian food besides french fries & salad, but that's okay. there were TONS of frozen yogurt places, too, which is my obsession. i love it. then we went back to valdosta for a few days.

i've been working a lot on college stuff too. the common app was made available to fill out today & i was supposed to work on it... uhm, oops. i've got an appointment with my college counselor tuesday, & i'm not exactly sure what i need to have done by then. i've been lazy this month. ^^" but i HAVE narrowed down my list of colleges that she sent me! they are lehigh, southwestern, & vanderbilt. i still like auburn & UGA, though. & of course, yale, my dream school. it just depends on what happens tuesday!

also, band camp starts tomorrow. woo hoo nerds! ;D
... okay, i'll stop rambling now.

with love,
rachel. <3

ps. happy august! :D
