happy Saturday everyone! today is very exciting for me...but let me tell you why...i was contacted a month ago through this blog about being apart of a new weekly column on the website LAFamily.com. They have decided to start a Life After College section & wanted real people that an audience could relate too....well i was shocked when they contacted me because I have never ever considered myself a good writer but they felt my writing was easy to connect with so here we are...my first article went up today! i am super excited about it, but also a little shy because i am not one to get so personal for the entire world to see but i am hoping with me digging deep in myself & expressing my feelings, it will help others who may be going through the same thing!
So pleaseeeee go over & check out the article, share it, comment, like it, tweet it...haha..they also wanted some of us to do Video Logs so here is my video log...hope this well give you a little more insight on me!

andddd my amazing "Kelly's Favorite Things" Giveaway starts next week so get excited!!! the first giveaway is valued at $100 :)
soooo on Sunday before my hair appointment i did a little shopping on our local street in San Clemente. this adorable street - del mar - has a ton of great restaurants, boutiques, salons & antique stores. Plus every Sunday they have a wonderful farmers market.
So while walking along del mar enjoying the beautiful weather I stopped in my step….I saw these beautiful orange colors coming from this place called Lincoln Street...i thought to myself; is this a new store? a new salon? i must find out!
As I walked in I got very excited. It was a trendy new boutique! And everywhere I looked they had something I just had to try on. It was like everything that is “in” at the moment was in this store. As I browsed the displays of clothing & jewelry I realized everywhere I looked they had such unique amazing pieces, not the typical merchandise you see every where…so I thought it would be fun to talk with the girl working & give us a little tour.....So without further ado meet Haley….
-please excuse my amateur videotaping -
Pretty amazing right? and how cute is Haley?! I seriously wanted everything! Of course I did buy a few things…how could I not?!…and here’s the best part – they have reasonable prices! nothing bothers me more than walking into a store & seeing that everything is $100 & over….we’re still in a recession here people! So I guess you can say my Sunday turned out even better than planned….found a new chic boutique, bought some great items, & got my hair done.
Here are a few pictures I took of the store & they’re fabulous neon display!
AND i wanted to announce the winner of my giveaway! first let me say thank you to everyone who entered. Using random.org , I input the amount of people who entered/commented & let the machine do the work.....
