LA Style...

Well, I leave for LA tomorrow afternoon! Should get there Saturday evening. One of the first things we're doing, shopping. Haha. I don't have much at all that will really fit in down there. Here's some of the LA fashion I've been looking at for inspiration for how I should dress down there.


If I can find a guy like that down there, mmhmm!


I love both those looks! So casual yet stylish.


I've had this picture for so long, I love this outfit.


I love this!! I want to wear something like it.

I hope I can find something exactly like this and look that amazing. Oh yeah, to carry a Diane Von Furstenberg bag would be nice, ha.




I need a skirt like that.


I've always loved how Jennifer Aniston can look so great while being so casual.

I had a lot more of Hilary Duff but didn't save them and can't find them again. She's one of my number one inspirations for down there though. Love her style. So effortless looking, but very stylish. I love the sandals too, I'm definitely buying some when I get down there.

So, LA style. It's just casual style but somehow can look so amazing. I'm excited to go shopping. Hopefully, I can lose some weight while I'm down there and look even better in the clothes. My goal is to come back tan and stylish!

A few things I want to for sure buy down there:
  • Aviators
  • Gladiator sandals
  • Awesome necklaces
  • A couple great skirts
  • Casual but chic t-shirts
  • At least one super cute, summery dress
That list will likely grow! I'll be sure to put my finds up here! Haha, the reason for two blogs. Friends and family get the "I went here, it was cool." This gets, "I went here and bought this!!!!!" Hahaha.

LA Blog...

Ok, my blog for LA is set up.

It is: lacoug.blogspot.com

Roadtrip down begins Friday afternoon. Stopping in Northern California, basically right after the border for the night. Then have 8 more hours to get to LA on Saturday! There are two possibilities my friend and I are checking out once we get down there to live at. I know somewhere great will come up. I think what I most need to be worried about is figuring out the bus system! Lord knows Pullman's gives me trouble and that town is one huge circle, haha.

Anyway, now I must go to the doctor to figure out what this stupid sickness is. One week and I'm still sick. Definitely better than I was a week ago, but still. It sucks.

I don't get it...

Maybe it's a fear of the unknown, I'm betting it is. But as I'm packing up my apartment before I leave for home tomorrow, I'm actually getting sad. I don't know why. I'm going to have an amazing summer in LA with a crazy awesome internship. But part of me wants to just stay in Pullman and work at Cougar Country.

It's probably the part of me that doesn't like change very much. I like knowing that I come home to the same thing each day. I like having a place I can call my own. It's weird to give that up for three months, regardless of the reason for. I'm half avoiding finishing packing everything up because it sort of means I'm not actually doing this. Does anyone else trick themselves that way? If I don't do something, it won't happen. Maybe I'm just crazy.

I mean, I know I should go to sleep. I'm waking up at 7am. However, again, the longer I put off going to sleep then waking up will come later so I won't have to pack my car up and give my apartment keys to someone else for the summer. Maybe I have problems letting go of things that are mine. Haha, no, not maybe, I know I do. Plus, after seeing all my friends graduation pictures, I realized most of my college friends, especially in my major, are gone. I don't know. I'm having a "why do we have to grow up moment?" I guess going to LA is a huge adult moment for me. Thank god my mom is driving down with me. I don't know if I'd be able to handle going down there all alone. I guess if we're being completely honest, I'm just a little scared. Scared of being by myself in the second largest city in the country. Scared that my hopes might be up way to high. Scared I made the wrong choice. Just scared of the unknown. At the same time, I know the unknown can be exciting and exhilirating. Which I'm sure it's going to be. I'm just having my I wish I could stay a kid forever moment.

Well, I really should be getting to bed so I'm awake for the 5 hour drive back home.

Here's to growing up... and all the scary but exciting things it holds.

Busy, busy, busy...

Well, it's official, I am a college senior!! It's kind of insane. It's like it was in high school, you always want to get to this point, but never feel it will actually happen. One more year and then I'm a true adult. So crazy.

I'm happy that finals week is over. I worked, a lot. It was really busy since it's graduation weekend. It's sad, more of my friends are graduating. Maybe it was a good thing that most of my friends graduated when I was a freshman, so I'm used to having all my friends graduate each year.

So, today I got some more exciting news. My mom asked me what I wanted for a graduation present, thinking I'd want to go to Las Vegas or Hawaii. I said what about New York. So they tried to get the time share in New York, except there's only one and it's hard to get. Well, today I got a text saying that they got the time share! So a week after I graduate next year, I'll be spending a week in New York!!!! I'm so freaking excited!!

It's crazy. This summer in LA. A week in New York after I graduate. I'm going to all the places I wanted. Ha, call me crazy, but I'd rather go to those two cities than other others in the world right now. I mean, yeah, there are cooler cities but I know these cities hold the key to what I want to do. Do I want to go to Paris? Of course, but I don't think my career awaits in Paris... just yet. One day I'll travel to all those places. Once I make lots of money, haha. I don't know, I don't feel like I'll never have the chance to travel. I know I will, I'll go to every place I want. Maybe I'm just insane and am too comfortable with that thought.

So, tomorrow I am packing up my apartment to take home all the valuable things for summer. I have a friend at work who needed a place to live this summer for a month and told him he could stay here. I'm hoping it's good karma that will come back to me with a place to stay in LA. Yeah, still working on that. Oh well, again, I know I'll find somewhere and I'm not worried. Anyway, I need to clean my place pretty well. Try to ungirly it the best I can.

I'm excited to go home. I kind of just want a day where I do absolutely nothing but watch movies and be girly. I've wanted one of those for so long but have been too busy. I guess it's good that I'm working, but a day off would be nice. I hope this next semester works out better and I'll be able to have my weekends a little bit free, instead of working all weekend. Anyway, I'm rambling now.

Oh, I think I'm going to make a new blog with no relation to this one for my time in LA so my parents and friends can follow it. I'll put a link in here whenever I make it.

I think I'm more excited to go to NY than LA, haha, is that sad?
