Prom 2017

That's right! As you can see by the title, I went to prom! There's nothing better than getting dressed up and having a night out at a formal dinner and dance. Believe me, I danced the night away with my wonderful boyfriend and date for the night, Ryan.

Life.

I've been blocked and not in the bowel sense. When it comes to my blog, I'm feeling incredibly uninspired and can't come up with any new content that I think will be worth your while or that I'm capable of creating. So, now I'm saying "screw it!" I'm going to write something, boring or not, just so hopefully I can get back in the groove of it. I love Sarah Grapes and I don't want to give up on all that I've worked for so far. I mean, it's been a year of running this site! It's time for me to make something of it!

Bring on the New Year

Well look at that! My first post of 2017! I figured that since I haven't written in a while I'd just talk a bit about all things pertaining to this past year and the new year to come. I know that for a lot of people, 2016 has been one of the worst years, but for me, this has been one of the best. I feel like I've grown a lot since 2015 and have definitely been involved in a lot.

Life is Really Good at Not Going as Planned

I began Sarah Grapes with the intent of it being a fashion blog, though I think we both know that it's not. What began as makeup reviews and winter coffee photo shoots, has now turned into a messy website that harbors all of my jumbled thoughts and life adventures. I'm not in any way disappointed that this has not gone as planned. (Though I really don't know why you read my messy words and opinions...maybe some people actually find me interesting!) It just goes to show how incredibly difficult it is to plan things in life.

Falling in Love with Fall

Hello friends! It's been quite a while since I last wrote anything on here and I miss it a lot. I've just been incredibly busy with school stuff lately that I had to put Sarah Grapes on the back burner. But now, it's a new season (my favorite season, actually) and I figured it time to just sit down and write a new post. I can't promise posts every other Saturday. because I'm about to get even busier, but maybe after November I'll be able to pick up that regular schedule again. So, to start off, I'm just going to share some photos and what I've been up to lately.

The Promise of Tomorrow

This evening there's a slight cool breeze outside and the leaves of the trees are damp with the remnants of the storm that passed through earlier today. The smell of wet gravel fills the air and for some reason I'm reminded of fall. Perhaps I'm just eager for a change in weather or maybe I'm just really excited for fall fashion, (I think we both know it's the latter.) either way, as most minds work, one thing led to another and I began to think about why I love new years so much.

I actually find it a bit peculiar that I love that holiday so much. If I'm completely honest, most of the time it's no different than any other cold, winter day, except that I spend an exceeding amount of time in front of the television to watch times square. So, I suppose it isn't the actual day that I adore, more so the idea of it. That meaning, I find it's promise of new beginnings, opportunities, experiences, and adventures intriguing. After all, it's New Years! There's a whole 365 days ahead of you! Anything could happen! So much can change!
