Mi Bella Vida

Since I like to plan, I have decided to set up a schedule for myself. I really need to get a job to pay bills, go shopping, and start setting money aside to pay my student loan. Chris and I are planning to buy a house sometime this year so I REALLY need to have money for that. I hate how the job market is sucking and really making things difficult but such is life. I just need to keep looking and try my best not to get stressed or discouraged.  Anywho, here is this schedule that I am going to attempt to follow.

• Wake up @ 7
• Gym @ 8
• Errands/Cleaning 9:30-11
• Job hunting 11-1:30
• Break 1:30-2
• Job hunting 2-5
• Get stuff done 5-6
• Study for GMAT 6-8
• Get stuff done 8-9
• Read/Relax 9-10
• Sleepy time 10

I’m hoping to follow this schedule to keep me on track with the job hunt and with the time allotted for reading I will be able to get through more books. I also hope to get that a designated studying time will help me with the GMAT. I want to take this year so I can start grad school Fall ‘10.

Now that Memorial Day is over we can now wear white! Even with the green light for white, this isn’t something that I usually wear. Some of my reasons:

1. I look shorter. White does no elongate me. I like to look taller whenever I can.

2. I always took summer classes and I never got out in the sun long enough to tan. White really washes me out so I NEED to be tan if I want to sport a white dress/pants/shorts/skirt. Now that I am out of school I hope to tan and not look sick in a white dress.

3. Not only does it make me look short but it makes me look fat. Well, the pants at least. I have only owned one pair of white pants that looks good on me. I still have them and I will be wearing them. They are also the only ones the make me look a bit taller. I love Talbots.

Anyways, I fould some cute stuff I would like to wear. I’m excited to break out my white Guess bag. I bought it last year and I love it! I wore the hell out of until Labor Day and I may do the same this summer.

This is such a cute dress from Ann Taylor. The best part is that it had pockets! Love pockets. I also like the pleated neck. Not sure how that would look on me but it is a cute dress!

I am also liking these pants from The GAP. Its been a while since I shopped there but their petite section is a good fit for me. I might pick these up if the look good on me. 

I love this purse. Definitely one of my favorites! It was my reward for getting through a stressful semester.

I finally found something to collect! I have never been one to collect things but I have finally found something that I want to collect and its…tea cups and matching saucers I have 3 already! I went to an antique with Chris’ parents while he worked on his car and I found 2 great cups at awesome prices. I told Chris that when we get a house I’m buying something to put in my cups so I can display them and then he called me old. He said we would look like old people…great. I’m gonna buy it anyways! Here are my 2 great finds of the weekend.

I love them. The one from Germany is super different. The one from England is made by a company formed in the 1850’s! How cool is that?!? I need to do more research so that I can find out what exact period they are from.
