M.I.A?

So for the past (uhh how long?) couple of days I've been M.I.A.

                                 

                                                          SO SORRY about that

Really I am. I promised myself that I would be so much better at posting now that I don't have to post about anything in particular and honestly I don't know what happened, but I still continued not to blog. Gosh, I have really got to get myself (and blog) together! I'm ashamed! Maybe when school starts I'll have more things to tell or write about, but as of now I'm just trying to soak in the last couple days of summer before school starts. These are like freedom days because even when you have off during the school year for weeks or days at a time, you still know that you have to go back soon. It's not fun. But this year is my senior year woaaaah and I'm super excited. Not really for the homework, but for senior privileges and our senior sweaters (yeah we get them). Not that the privileges are unbelieveable, but nonetheless, I waited for 4 years to be a senior and to be at the top of the so called "food chain" and now I'm the cream of the crop with the rest of my class. Ahhh it's great!

But ugh talking about school so early makes me get sick. So my summer has been awesome. Actually, I just came back from a vacation down the shore to a little place right before Cape May (all you jersey people know what I'm talking about). It was so peaceful and warm and I even got a tan! I'm so proud of myself! After 5 days of just laying out in the sun SO HOT i'm not excatly a different ethnicity, but have offical tan lines! Thus, this time must go down in history. seriously. When we were down there though, I took so many walks and passed by beautiful houses. One I fell in love with...it's amazing. It was such pretty flowers and landscaping and a huge wrap-around-porch. It's honestly my dream house. It has close to 3 balconies (yes, you heard right) and bamboo shades around the porch so incase it rains or you want to keep the bugs out, you can just role them right down. Of course I couldn't see the inside of it but I'm sure it's a dream. I took some stalkerish pictures of it hehe so y'all can take a look. I also took some pictures of two other houses that looked so adorable I couldn't pass up. They look like they are from a movie or something.

This was one of the houses that I thought could be from a movie

Same one

I love this side of the hosue with the staircase

The side of my dream house

This is still the side, but you can see the bamboo shades lowered down

This is inside the wrap around porch. I was never able to get a picture of the actual front of the house, but people were there so I would have looked a little stalkerish taking a picture of them...right?

Alright I hope you enjoy these pictures! They are beautiful to me and I hope they are to you too!

Love your beachy and tan friend,

Kara Jae

Horrible Horrible Horrible

Yes I know, I've been bad! I haven't been posting in a while, but I have such a BIG excuse. My laptop got a virus and wiped everything out of my computer. No joke. This is serious.

So I promise I will be back and posting again just give me so time.

Thank you!

Harry Potter Coming to an End...

The end of an era...

My Harry Potter story starts like this:

I'm not a pure blooded fanatic, but I do have to say I am a fan. I used to watch the Harry Potter movies with my dad when the first came out. However, due to my young age I could never really get into them. I feel like it was a combination of the bloody/Erie/confusing - ness of everything plus the strange words and things that happened that were unexplainable added to my dislike of the movie. Eventually at around the release of the 5th movie, I just stopped watching them. It was too much to understand especially not having read the books at all. A couple years later, one of my friends (i found out) was a Harry Potter fan. (one of the obsessed ones). LOL

She made me watch all of them again and try and give them a chance. I did and loved them. I couldn't wait to watch the next one. So, I made a goal to myself that I would watch all of them until I got caught up in order to see the one that just came out! Obviously I did :) haha

I went last night to the midnight showing and it was amazing! The fight scenes were intense, the courage was astonishing and the characters were so epic. I loved the ending and it was truly a great end to the series!

If you haven't seen it, GO. haha no really GO and see it! It's something you have to do if this has been a part of your childhood ...

With Harry Potter greatness lol

Summer Hairstyles

Hello lovelies!

This summer is super duper hot! We constantly feel like we have a need to put our hair up, but sometimes we want to keep  it down a pretty. Trying to achieve those "Beachy waves" and "perfect updo" for summer can be tricky. But, I've finally found the perfect slide show of hairstyles that are perfect for the summer and along with them a blurb of directions on how to get the look! enjoy ....

I love a lot of them and will definitely be putting them to use on these hot summer days ahead!

With lovely locks,

This is something I have been proud of for a while and haven't been able to show anyone yet! I love different hairstyles and matching them with the outfit that you are wearing at a certain time.

I went out a couple Sundays ago and put my hair in a stylish ponytail. I love the way it came out and took a picture of it!

I just teased the top part of my hair, pulled it back in a ponytail, and then wrapped extra hair around the scrunchie holder to give it a more finished look.

Simple, easy, and so stylish all at the same time! Have fun and enjoying trying it out for the summer :)

Check it out!

I picked up these sticker nails from CVS. They are so cool... I got zebra and cheetah. They are super easy to put on and they give you such a stylish summer look for your nails :)

Happy Nail Decorating,

Early?

In my family, most people don't know the word early. But I DO it's just that it looks like I'm late because the rest of my family is haha.

Anyways, the whole point of this is that I think I found a possible graduation song for my graduation next year! It's called At the beginning from the Disney moive, Anastasia... listen and tell me what you think!

With Love and beginningness,
Kara Jae
