Sunny's Minneapolis Styles At Macy's

The shopping mainstay, located in downtown Minneapolis on Nicollette Mall, Macy's has always been known for fashion forward looks and the best in high-quality basics. Of course, it simply makes sense that Macy's tapped Sunny's Minneapolis location for the best and brightest in hair! Check out the images sent to us by the Macy's stylist herself!

*~*~*SpRiNgSpRiNgSpRiNg*~*~*

What is there to do in Alaska? Well, unless you're a super outdoors pro that can handle your tent being attacked by a bear or frigid cold weather, then there's not much you can do. But, if you look hard (wherever you live), you can always find something to do.
Lucky for us, Chib found a farm where they dye their baby chicks and ducklings to make them vibrantely spring technicolors! Odd... yes. But SUPER COOL! YES! It's perfectly harmless. They use a very small needle and inject food coloring into the eggs the day before they hatch. The baby chicks roll around in their eggs and get all colored. It wears off as they grow new feathers. So it was decided, we must go!

On the car ride up...
I was more excited than the kids... not unusual for me.

We pull up and see these guys... who knew turkeys were so crazy!
We found the chick room (which smelled absolutely revolting btw) and found these cute little guys. A bit disapointed because their not what we're expecting. But the kids are happy, so that's what matters right? Well, not for me. Im finding these colorful chicks no matter what!! I walk into the next room and find....
A rainbow of technicolored baby chicks!!! XD They were so cute!
The ducks were so sweet but a bit too afraid to get too close to us. Especially when there are scary kids banging on the plastic kiddie pool you call a home. :'(

These guys were so cute! They look fake! But I promise you, they are completely real. :)

You're not usually allowed to hold them... But don't forget to ask just in case.
I wish I could take one home with me! :( But at least I got to see them! I will never forget it! What crazy adventure will we find in Alaska next?!

wrap yourself around my head

landon and i are working on a little project for AA with scrap fabrics! this is a sneak peek of the scrap headband (you will have to wait for the completed zine to see all the other fun things that can be done with scraps). i'm rather keen on this bandage-like wrap and will likely wear it beyond my apartment hallway someday.

i am in serious procrastination mode and trying to ignore my messy apartment and the packing of messy apartment that must be done. instead i am beseeching landon to take pictures of my daily attire and watching documentaries on elizabeth the first (glorious joblessness). above i am wearing vintage dress that i botched a little when shortening (an easy fix if i was not feeling so lazy) AA socks and vintage shoes.

today we received two pretty polka-dot packages in the mail from a kind soul at topshop! inside the packages we found a tote bag, t-shirt and their handsome new lookbook!

landon inspecting the goods; he is impressed with the lookbook.
little faces on their tote bag that remind me of a sweeter version of our old scribble pages that we used to play around on.

Getting To Know Me With Some Of My Favorite Moments (from 06 on)

So we're going backwards kinda... But here in Alaska we've had many adventures! We got to go to the zoo. I really enjoyed just being outside, even if it was in the snow. The first week i got to Alaska we went walking around this nature center. Same kind of thing. I just enjoyed getting outside. :)

The week before i left for AK my two very best friends from Florida came to visit me!!! It was so amazing!! We had the best time ever! Here we are at East High. Go Wildcats!! (any HSM fans out there?)



The day before Chib and her fam left for AK our fam and adopted family member Les spent the night at gateway and Temple Square. Such an amazing night!!



Gotta love us! hahaa!!




I spent a lot of this winter sledding in my backyard. So much fun and such funny memories! If you havn't been sledding in a while, i suggest you go.



Im sitting at church one day just waiting for it to start when i look over and see...I think its her... Les! look! It's Sister Beck!! XD excitment!! It was so great getting to have her in our ward all day. She even asked if she could teach us how to make pies which of course we agreed to! Then I was also lucky enough to get o see her up here in AK! Random! I know! But it was seriously what i needed!



THRILLER!!!!! MWAHAHAHA! If you havn't seen it, go see it!




Halloween dinner. Such a fun night!




One last camp fire in the canyon before it was too cold. I love this pic of me and les. :)



One of my wonderful friends (not pictured) wedding reception. I love this pic because it's a reunion pic of my best friends from HS.




Bahahahahaa!! We went to walmart after seeing the play "sleepy hollow". Again, seriously one of the best nights EVER!!


Bahahahahahahah!!!! We're random and we love it!!



I love my little sis. :) This was at a fashion show we went to. And it's one of my favorite pics in the world!



Indiana Jones! We all bought tickets to the premier of the new I.J. which got us dinner at the Myan restraunt and then into the movie. Such a good day!!




One of my all time favorite places in the whole universe!!! And one of the best days ever!




My audition day for SYTYCD. Not one of the best days ever, but one of the best experiences ever. And i made some great friends and met Cat D.



I was lucky enough to be able to make my life long dream of working for Disney come true! This is Miss Minnie Mouse. One of my favorite people...er.... mice ever!




DONALD duck and his besties dancing in their show "Dream Along With Mickey".



This was probably my favorite vacation ever! Probably because it was at the time where i needed it the most. :)



So there you have it. My favorite moments that i have pictures of from the last few years. I hope it makes sense etc. Im new to this whole blogging thing and havn't quite figured it out yet. haha!
