hola Costa Rica

and the verdict is...



essie canyon coral.  i decided that i'm going to save the orange for the summer.  i have found the best top coat ever: seche vite dry fast top coat.  honestly, my nails remain unchipped and shiny for over a week.  this stuff is good.



i spent this evening packing for my trip to Costa Rica!  i pick up my friend Tara who is flying in from Buffalo to Orlando tomorrow.  our flight leaves 6 a.m. saturday, and we're meeting up with six other girls.  the eight of us are first stopping at my friend's uncle's casino for lunch in San Jose, and then were making our way to Jaco Beach for eight days.  the only other country i've been to is Canada, so i'm pretty excited to put my passport to use.  of course, i desperately needed a passport case, and thankfully my mom found this one for me.  the lime green is so cute, and the inside is cotton candy blue!



the first thing i thought when i knew i was going on this tropical vacation was that i needed a maxi dress.  it took several weeks to find the perfect one, but i finally found it.  i've wanted a gypsy 05 maxi for some time now, but have been nervous to order online not knowing how the sizes run and how the dye job looks in real life.  lucky me.  i found one at indigo here in Gainesville... on sale!  this baby was originally $146.00 and i got it for $60!  i love it.



the length is so perfect.  it drags.  that might urk a lot of you.  but in my opinion, there's nothing worse than a short maxi dress.  a maxi dress that falls at the ankles just cuts you off too soon.  the longer the length, the more lanky you look.  woo for that.







the back on this is just perfect.  it's very revealing which is a nice contrast to how much the length covers up.  i'll show you better pictures of the dress from when i wear it on my trip.

well, i've got my fedora ready for when i step off the plane.  i plan on eating a lot of guacamole (among other things), reading My Horizontal Life by Chelsea Handler, drinking fruity drinks, and zip lining through the jungle.  time to finish updating my iPod.  adios Gainesville!
