Sometimes people forget that bloggers are real people. That we do other things besides take pictures, edit them, and blog about our lives that can often seem too planned out. That we have real jobs (wait, what? you have a degree in something?), take classes, and have boyfriends, husbands, and kids (or for you men, girlfriends, wives, and kids).
Sometimes even I forget these things. Wait, I do other things besides blog? Stunning realization happening over here.
But in all truth, I do other things than wear my Nike’s to the gym and walk around my house (and outside – what can I say, I’m such a granola hippie) barefoot. A girl’s gotta keep her closet in shape as much as she has to keep her butt in shape. So, I buy myself (sometimes too much) closet additions on HauteLook. I wasn’t paid to say this, in fact I paid them a hefty amount of money in the last month for all the stuff I bought; this is just pure, unadulterated love. I could buy things on HauteLook all day if I wasn’t such a broke college student. But I guess I’m really not that poor, because I bought myself some shoes.
My birthday is coming up. July 30th. Feel free to send me a cake around that time if you love me lots. I love cake, and I love you even more.
I consider this an early gift to myself, and I’ll say the same for every bowl of froyo I have from now until that date. Always gift yourself. It feels great.
These sandals make me think of Bermuda – I went there on a family cruise back in the eighth grade, and it still sticks in my mind when I think of anything tropical. It was my grandparents’ 50th Anniversary celebration; the one and only cruise I’ve ever been on. Good thing I rode up and down the elevators the whole time, because it was so worth it. I also fell in love with a boy that wears Polos and lives on Staten Island. We totally connected over pool towels.
I’ll be wearing these gems to my drawing class that starts today. Bringing in the breeze of Bermuda, and dreaming of a place worthy of a Free People magazine spread. I hope the other students think I’m artsy.

Because Bloggers ___________ Too.
To this I’m gonna have to go with “bum around and have lazy days” can’t always workout every minute of everyday! Everyone has lives they have to live too, just like you said!
ps. looove those shoes! so cute
haha SO true!
I’ve been on several cruises, and the ones that I took during the middle school years – I too, fell in love with boys. something magical about those cruises & the limited selection of boys. ha
We’re almost birthday buddies! July 23 over here! But my anniversary is on July 30, so it’s a good day.
Oh gurl — join the celebration happenin over here.
I love those shoes! Shopping is my calling, I think I should be a pro
I am in love with those shoes! I get HauteLook emails daily and its totally dangerous!
Dangerous is right — my poor bank account is suffering!
Haha I love that you used the same pic of the shoes 3 times to drive your point home.
… because bloggers wear makeup too. (Urban Decay Eyeshadow. Stat!)
Haha, it’s three different pictures! Same setup.
TOO CUTE! I love these
WOW I love those! Too cute!
Um, how adorable are those sandals?! Happy early birthday, mine’s on July 27th! I think I’ll be buying myself something soon as an early birthday present too…
Birthday twinnnsss!
Love those shoes!
Those shoes are so cute, Katelyn. I totally support buying stuff for yourself near/on your birthday.
I just thought that I’d add that girls can have girlfriends/wives and guys can have boyfriends/husbands…(well, sadly only in a few states for same-sex marriage). I think it’s important not to forget that!
That’s so valid! How could I forget. Right on, girl.
I love fashion and SHOES. So I love this post. Also, bloggers eat french fries too
Love them. I always treat myself in a big way when my birthday comes around, its bad.
We deserve it though!
And I hope you will be posting your pictures of your drawings because I am always super jealous of people who are able to draw! How it it my uncle is an architect and I can’t draw a cat? Sad how that world works;)
Haha I just got a picture of my first one!! It’ll be up later.
So cute! Wish I could wear cute shoes! I have very very very wide feet with bunions so I can’t fir in most cute shoes & I hide the feet anyway due to the UGLY huge bunions!
Can I have those? Way too cute.
Whattt?! We have the SAME birthday’s! And I love your rationale on randomly buying yourself things because that was EXACTLY my thoughts this past weekend when I entered Lululemon, which I just *happened* to be unintentionally walking by—NOT and bought myself the cutest pair of crops! Love them. It’s why I work, or at least why I tell myself I work as I write this message on my couch because I just got home from work, and eating overnight oats. YuM. Love the shoes!

TWINNNSSS! Ah! Love Lululemon. And seriously. The reason I make money.
