Sunny one so true, I love you

I can't hide my bitten nails. I think they're a good addition to any outfit. Don't you think? haha
Now. Let's be honest here. I've never been a big romper fan.  But when I came across this one and I almost died.  The floppiness. The silkiness. The cinching.  IT WAS PERFECT! I had to get it.  So, I take back any bad thing I've said about rompers.  What's not to like about an outfit including only one article of clothing and no matching necessary AT ALL!?  Whoever made them up is a genius. A genius I tell you!

By the time you read this I'll be at camp.  Sitting in an open air canvas tent with four beds and four trunks, surrounded by friends and counselors, and playing cards with my tent-mates laughing, talking, and simply having the best time of our lives.  Camp is my home.  My favorite place in the world.  The only place in the world where being you is ok. You can act like a complete goofball, do anything, say anything, be anything and everyone will still like you.
There is nothing you can't do.

But don't worry, there will still be weekly posts :) Stay tuned.
Thh-th-that's all folks.

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,
Annika

I fell off my pink cloud with a thud

The roses in our garden are blooming just in time for July.
You know what I love about the colour pink? How perfectly it goes with everything.  Denim jeans? Whip out a pink shirt. Green skirt? Pink shirt.  Sequins? Pink. shirt.  It's the answer to everyone's problems.  Especially during the summer and spring season!

Oh late bloomer, the rumors are true

I have arrived in Martha's Vineyard! The spaceship has landed! I repeat the spaceship has landed.  It feels nice to be home again in good ol' Massachusetts (GO BRUINS! First win in what? 39 years?! YESSSS).  My sister and I have been playing RockBand non-stop since we got here; we don't have it in Singapore.  And let me tell you, that was time well spent.  What I am looking forward to the most though is....drum roll please...Mad. Martha's. Ice. Cream. Yes. If you have ever gone to the Vineyard, you should know about this infamous ice cream store.  It is the best ice cream store in the world.  And I am soon going to have the delicious calorie filled snack in my tummy in less than 24 hours.  If I don't there will be some serious problems up in hur.
It smells like summer.
Today, I just wanted to test run these beautiful bloomers.  So, I kept it simple and colour blocked.  It's a little plain, but I like it.
Go treat yourself to some ice-cream :)

woooo,
Annika

Yellow Stones

Grand Prismatic Spring.
 Yeehaww!  Currently, I'm in Jackson Hole and todays adventure included visiting Yellowstone National Park and watching Old Faithful erupt and seeing the beautiful Grand Prismatic Spring.  If any of you get the chance to go to Yellowstone, please make sure to go to the Grand Prismatic Spring.  It's this gorgeous, gorgeous hot spring that has so many colours (caused by bacteria) all around and in it.  When it's sunny, the steam being released by the hot spring reflects the colours in the pool, making it look like pink and/or blue cotton candy.
Also, during the car ride to and from we saw a whole herd of bison, a moose, some Elk, and some Rangers taking a group picture. Adorable.
My little sister also got her 6th Junior Ranger Badge.  If you have a sibling who's done this or if you have PLEASE let me know! My little sister would be thrilled to know somebody else did it, too.
It has also been really cold compared to the kind of summer I'm used to, but it's real nice. It's also the reason for my non-posting because I came ill-prepared for this type of weather haha.  Let's just say short shorts and Hawaiian t-shirts can only last you for so long.
But soon, it'll be slightly warmer because we are going to Denver, Colorado tomorrow. WOOOOOOOO!!!!! I'm lovin' it.
Let me know how your summer is going, too!  I want to know what you're all up to :)

bye bye,
Annika

Amangiri

Walking stick, bag, and hat.
After a VERY long drive through Vegas and the Mojave Desert, we finally arrived at the Amangiri! It's a wonderful hotel that is about a 3 hour drive away from the Grand Canyon, and. Oh. My. Gosh. Could it be any more amazing?  The view and rooms are spectacular. The service is so sweet. The food is beyond tasty (and organic!).
Also, the activities they had here are wonderful.  We've seen and done the coolest things, too!  We've dug for fossils. We've hiked and seen petrogliphs . We've taken a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon.
According to one of our guides, a person actually requested a tour through Walmart.  We thought we could skip that.
All in all, this hotel is perfect.

Today, we're heading over to Bryce Canyon and road tripping it over to Salt Lake City to watch the choir.  My mom really wants to.  I'm pretty excited, too!  But I'm excited for the drive and the road trip food. Cheetos and Taco Bell.  Yum.

I haven't been able to take any pictures of a good outfit because my family has been sick and jet lagged for the past 4 days. Kind of not so fun, but be patient.  It will come soon.

See you all soon,
Annika
