Hunger Hurts . . .

SO . . . It might be cliche to 

quote song lyrics . . . 

I know, I know, 

BUT . . .

Sometimes they say what you are thinking/feeling 

in just the right way!

"I was having a sweet fix of a 

daydream of a boy

Whose reality I knew, was a 

hopeless to be had

But then the dove of hope

began its downward slope

And I believed for a moment that 

my chances were approaching to be grabbed.

Hunger hurts, and I want him 

so bad, oh it kills

Cause I know I'm a mess

he don't wanna clean up . . . "

Paper Bag ~ Fiona Apple

Sometimes . . . you think your chance

is approaching, only to find out it is not.

And it hurts . . . 

But, life moves on and is beautiful!

Can I live here?????

 Can I PLEASE Live Here????

And I want to wear this dress in my dream house, and have a boy there with me in this amazing outfit.  

Time to Quit Being Scared . . .

"A coward is incapable of 

exhibiting love; 

it is the prerogative 

of the brave."

~

 Mohandas Gandhi

Inspiring Words . . .

Does anyone know what book this was taken from????

So very, very true . . . .

Our Day in Pittsburgh : )

Today, my girls and I went on an adventure in Pittsburgh!

We visited Chatham's campus (Little Kate's alma mater)

Then we went to Shady Side for lunch and shopping!

I got this AMAZING Mac and Cheese At 

Harris Grill Cafe!!!!!

We saw this outfit in the window of Banana Republic, 

and although we are bargain shoppers and would not splurge on it, we had to give it snaps because it is 

"Blair Waldorf Worthy"

(in my words!!!)

I got this hat at Eons, the vintage store.

Totally in the men's department, but I love it!!!

Also, Little Kate got an AMAZING dress to wear to one of our law school dances.  

It looks like something straight off of Mad Men, which is totally Kate's style.

Potter got an adorable fascinator, 

which the fabulous men at the vintage boutique 

promptly bobby pinned in her hair :)

Lastly, I got something I have been 

wanting for a really long time: 

a book journal!

You keep record of all the books you read and write thoughts and ideas you take away from them.  There are also lists to fill out about favorite characters, favorite book destinations, etc.  

I have been playing with it all evening!

It was an all around good day! 

Now I am relaxing and getting ready for the week ahead, it is going to be crazy hectic, as always!!!

Love ya, 

Ambria Monique

Labor Day should be Lazy

And in the spirit of laziness, here is a short, baby blog:

I am OBSESSED with every piece in this outfit.  This would be the outfit Blair Waldorf would wear if she ever decided to "dress down" for a day!!! Waldorf meets law student.  

It doesn't get better than that :)

When the Dog Bites, When the Bee Stings . . .

When I'm feeling sad . . .
I simply remember my favorite things 
and then I don't feel sooooo bad!!!!!

I think this is the perfect time to reflect on

A Few of My Favorite Things!!!!!!!!

1. Bows

I am OBSESSED with bows!!!!!!!

Especially bow headbands!

2. Blair Waldorf

Blair should probably be #1 since she is the one who inspired my love of all things bows!  

She is my fashion icon, her outfits never fail!

On Headbands: "The bow always goes on the right!"

And, She has the greatest accessory of all-time . . .

Chuck Bass!!!!!!!

3. Books and Baths

It is hard to have one without the other,

they are a perfect combination!!!!!!

4. Donuts

5. Johnny and June

World's Real-Life Greatest Couple

They show me that love can overcome many, many obstacles!!!!

6. Lost

Oh, how I miss this show!

Thank goodness I know Jack and Kate 

are together in eternity!!!

7. Larry Fitzgerald and 

The Arizona Cardinals!!!

8. This Random Picture

I saw this in an add on Facebook once

It never ceases to but a smile on my face :)
