Guess who finally recognized me...

I have been trying to get these boys attention on skype since I got over here, and all I have gotten back is a confused glance before their 2 second attention span kicks in and I'm lost to something more interesting..usually a nap. Over here it is totally unacceptable to smile at strangers, let alone ask to pet their dog. So needless to say, I have seriously been missing some canine companionship. Finally this week I was skyping home when I tried their very well recognized whistle...their reaction was pricless. I had their heads turing every which way. The best part about it was that they kept running around the computer to see where the rest of my body was. Gotta love em. Sweet buddies.

Bonheur

[french word of the day]
happiness 
thought you'd ought to know

There are a lot of things that I have to be happy for today...

First of all, I started my day listening to this playlist. It will change your life...go ahead press play. You won't regret it. It started my day off right.

I made french toast for breakfast which is called "pain perdu" in France..literally "lost bread". 

Paid attention in class and actually understood the language my professor was speaking...you'd think that would be required but trust me, over here it is a novelty for me...

Soaked in the sunrays, which seemed even warmer in between the hail and rain showers  every other hour... il était très bizarre.

Met some new friends.
Celebrated with close friends
Had tea with some old friends.

Oh and I'm going to be in Barcelona in two weeks. The life I live doesn't feel real sometimes.

Hope your day was as cheerful as mine!

We took a Sunday stroll today through our deserted windy city today. It felt nice to get out of our miniscule dorm room and have some fresh french air... even if the wind was biting through my jeans. I guess the March lion and lamb make their appearance here too. The lion most definitely took the win today.

So. Cheesey.

This is the result of a cloudy ugly day.

orange

Shade of the month? Revlon Orange Flip.
I have gone back and forth with my confidence to wear this bright of a color, but I have concluded that it is simply my favorite. I don't mind being bright this month, after all spring is barreling towards us! Happy March!

Pourqoui pas?

Random, I know. I just got on iMovie and started playing around. Got a little tired of it by the end, but not bad for my first go eh? Hopefully more to come!

Color Changes Everything

Recently my wardrobe has been growing on the neutral side with a multitude of beiges greys and blacks.... however the trend this season seems to be colors, and bright ones!

Target seems to have gotten it right...

however ironic that it's in french seeing as though there is not one target to be found in this entire country...withdrawal

Seeing as though I have no tv here in France, a shout out to my mama for thinking of me and sending me the link to this target commercial, she knows me too well.
