Speaking of camping though

{more fancy camping}   


if you have never tried this
you should
because its soooo yummy

little Ally was beyond exhausted at the end of the trip
if you don't know Ally she is impossible to ware out
{imagine how we felt}
so much fun and totally worth every ounce of exhausted    



a picture just outside my work
look at those mountains
beyond breath taking
they amazing me every time I see them   



on a side note

This past weekend I went camping for the first time
and it was soooo much fun
{i wouldn't consider myself a true wilderness girl yet .. but i'm getting there}

We made smores and stuffed them with fried peaches
[if you haven't done it. do it. they are amazing]
and I made fancy drinks for everyone
We stayed up all night and played around the camp fire
{well i tried my best to stay up all night}
and went for walks and shot guns and got a tan not really

Definitely something I want to do again   
We lucked out with the weather too
because the next day we got snow

Crazy Crazy weather in Cedar City        


my handsome prince charming with his pup

I wasn't kidding about the fancy drinking part ;)


Love Always,

playing pretend

So lately I've been really wanting my own place
[in all reality i might be kind of scared to live alone]
But I want my own small little apartment 
or guest house
So I can decorate it super cute and absurdly girly
 {every girl at one point in their life should have a spot thats just super girl-a-fied}    

I want my bed room to like somewhat like these
 I have a thing for tufted head boards and mirrored dressers
 I'm also loving the super relaxed feel the grey give a bed room
 it also has to have a bench at the end of the bed and far too many pillows on it

of course it will have an amazing closet 
that might look something like these

 I'll replace the doors so it looks oh so vintage
 if it's big enough I would totally but my "office space" inside
 it will be totally over organized
 a dresser in the middle so I can hang everything
 a true princess closet
 but in reality even if it's just a role rack
I would still be happy  

Being super small 
my kitchen, living room, and dining room will most likely
all be in the same place

Together they might have a feeling similar to these

I will ride my beach cruiser to the farmers market to get my food
and I will drink my juice from wine glasses and crystals
{that i will get at the D.I. and have amazing stories}

Lavender and Royal purple will be my accent color
Grey will be my trending color through out
my little humble abode 
if you haven't noticed
if its velvet or tufted
I automatically have this undying love for it

a gorgeous giant leaner mirror is a must
fancy chairs around my little kitchen table
so all my guests can feel like royalty
{when I have all kinds of dinner parties and girls nights}
how eco friendly is this?!
[if it was purple and tufted it'd be perfect]

I adore the shape if this couch as well as the amazing bold strips



     
One day
{when i have my unknown dream job}
I will need an office space
that will look something like these
{i might even have a mac computer to top it all off}





 Some of the detailing in the little home
might feel like this





a bathtub would be the cherry on top of perfection


talk about cozy




This is my dream little place at the moment
to be honest
the idea of living alone and having my own place
{especially if i could do something like this with it}
is more appealing that I can say

The problem is
I don't know where I could find a space I could do this in Cedar
or even if I could
If I would be able to afford it

My max out rate is $300 a month
{though in reality i really can't afford more then $250}
so if you're in Cedar and know a place
[or have a guest house/remodeled garage]
and want me to take it over
I all in

One day maybe I'll have a place like this



Love Always,
Lexi
