My California friends think I am a nut, but every time I am there I have to make two stops. One at In N’ Out for obvious reasons and the other at Rubio’s because I am obsessed with their fish tacos. Now, I realize Rubio’s is a popular chain in California, but honestly – I just can’t get that here in Seattle and right now it is all I want.
I remember when the movie came out last year, all I could wonder was if this girl was a younger version of Lana Del Rey. Anybody else feel the same? Well we finally got Moonrise Kingdom on my On Demand and after hearing all of the positive reviews about it last year, I knew I had to see it for myself. Not to mention it’s a story about young love! …oh the way to my heart. It’s such an endearing film and Suzy (left) is iconic with her style.
My perfect breakfast! A bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon – how very Seattle of me.
Without even noticing, every “A Collection” post has some sort of a theme. I always enjoy going back and looking at the different sets asking myself what the common theme was. What was I feeling that day? Why did I select this photo, that photo, and this series of photos? I started writing this about a fourth into completing this post and I noticed that all of the photographs are pretty simplistic, but also muted. There are times when I won’t remember why there is a theme, but I think this completely embodies how I’m feeling right now. Somewhat muted, but it’s a refreshing time right now because there is so much that is unknown. Also – Seattle has the hottest weather in all of the country right now, which is incredible and NEVER happens. Funny, because you would think that these photos would be much brighter to resemble that, but they are not. Surprise!
Now, I can’t be the only person that runs into this problem. Everywhere I go I am always reminded of something that I feel the need to write down or rather type into my phone whether it’s a song I need to add to my Spotify playlist, a blog I need to visit, or a person I need to look up. Normally, I would just put it into my notepad function, but I have accumulated so many different notes that even though I thought I was being organized, I became…unorganized.
Thinglist is an app that I kind of want to download myself because now it has easy icons that tell me exactly where my little thoughts should go. Check out this Vimeo introducing the app.

I’ve got the travel bug! Who has any time for vacations when you’re a working 20-something though, right? Apparently, many of my friends. We wish we could just hop on a plane over to Phuket Island! The Sri Panwa Resort is gorgeous.

I just came across this adorable map of Seattle University’s campus edibles! I’m really not sure if any other campus has anything like this, but this is pretty special, isn’t it?
Ugh. Love.

Did you ever think that ice cream could be transformed into bread? I didn’t. It blew my mind and now I want to try it – correction I NEED to try it. Apparently, the recipe is actually pretty simple and only involves two ingredients and two steps. It’s like how I made all of my meals in college all over again except back then, I wish I would have had this recipe. To make ice cream bread, you just need to mix softened ice cream of your liking with self-rising flour. I’m not exactly sure what comes next…
For me I need very detailed steps because knowing me, this could go very wrong.

I have barely touched my cook books since Pinterest came along, but it used to be my favorite part of making meals back in college. I stumbled upon this new cook book designed for guys that completely simplifies the process and includes a rainbow of colors! Picture Cook: See. Make. Eat. brings the cooking instructions back down to the basics – just the way guys like it, right? Recipes included range from simple to even more complex meals like lasagna!

Readers, is this not one of the best inventions you’ve ever seen? This fusion table was designed by Aramith and I love it because it’s a fully functioning dining table and also a pool table in one. The sleekness and modern style of the wood is what has me really attracted to this piece.
$8,990
By the way if you haven’t noticed, there’s a total guys theme today!

Sweets on sweets. Some may say this is too much; I say it is just right.

Instead of making myself breakfast, I’d rather just…talk about what I’d rather be having. #Life
The other day I saw an Instagram for this on a Carl’s Jr. Menu and while you might think that this is something that I would get excited for, the thought of it is a little bit terrifying. SO. MUCH. SUGAR. I love my strawberry frosted pop tarts, I really do, but ice cream too? That’s an overload…an overload of awesomeness?
In all seriousness, I would probably tap out after four bites of this, but geez $1.49? Carl’s Jr. you sure know the way to a person’s heart!

It used to take me over six months to go back to a blog that I haven’t visited in a while. With my new routine and schedule and the absence of homework, I am able to get through my blogs a lot quicker which frees up more time for me to be creative and to spend more time on posts that mean a lot to me instead of just posting and being done with it. Most of the photographs in this A Collection post came from one blog and go figure it’s called Thriving Twenties so of course we can relate hence why we love it.
