so how bout this weather? forecast for today looks incredible if you solely look at temperature. if you look at the radar and details it looks much less appealing. storms. thunder. hail. tornadoes. rain. starksthepup will not be pleased. we do need the rain, but i just hope this weather cleans up its attitude before birthday weekend commences tomorrow.

i had a post that i was hoping to have ready today, well actually yesterday. but the creative blogging bug has not been my friend. if only i could translate all the thoughts in my head to here and they sounded the way i wanted and my pictures could magically be edited, that would be like ideal. alas, a short post is on the docket for today. and also an unlikely one seeing as i am not at all an ootd (outfit of the day) type of gal; i follow way too many fashion bloggers who look flawless in all their posts to dare put myself out there. i’ve never been one to be able to put together outfits well. so when i finally feel like i put one together, i kind of want to just wear it everyday. i need to connect with some fashion blogger friends and have them help this ‘unfashionista’ out. ive been working on getting over what people might think, and stop caring so much about comparing myself to others; so – here’s my look on this stormy thursday. my favorite part is hands down my new Minnesota necklace from a local shop in my hometown (Brick Girls Loft). hands down one of my favorite places to acquire new and fun jewelry.

meanwhile in Minnesota // spring snow

our beautiful state is living up to the stereotype once again; central mn got his with bunches of that lovely white stuff yesterday. what’s crazy is that at my parents house in southern mn they got no traces of any snow. weather is a funny thing.

so, rather than complain about the snow, i decided to embrace it. after all, we did get a massive snow storm of 16 inches last year on may 2, so april 16 is fair game for snow as far as i’m concerned. so i took starks the pup out and we have fun running around and enjoying the weather.

so, for those of you in southern mn, and those of you not lucky enough to reside in this beautiful place, here are some pics of what my view looks on this spring day.
