switching blogs

noreply@blogger.com (kelsey ann) — Sat, 07 Jul 2012 18:01:00 +0000

hey,
just making sure that all my followers know that i have switched domain names, instead of www.simplybeautifulthoughts.com, i have gone to www.kelseyarkills.com.

since i can't switch over my followers, only the content, i have emailed all the followers that have shown their email on their profile, but some of you don't have emails OR blogs...i just want to make sure you know that you won't be able to get any more posts, but if you switch to following www.kelseyarkills.com, you will. it's a win.

here's how to follow.

new blog!

noreply@blogger.com (kelsey ann) — Thu, 05 Jul 2012 23:09:00 +0000

http://www.kelseyarkills.com/

hey everyone!

don't worry, i didn't use a new name, but just a new domain.

this one was too long.

i mean, i couldn't even remember it.

but that's saying something for a memory of a goldfish.

wait, what were we talking about?

just kidding.

so here's my new domain name...[again]

http://www.kelseyarkills.com/

i imported all the posts into the new blog, so it's just like home.

away from home.

alright, i'm done here.

toodles.

what's in my bag?

noreply@blogger.com (kelsey ann) — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 15:12:00 +0000

i saw grace's post and i thought i would do something too ;)

1-my hairband thingamabob. i put bobbypins, headbands (the stretchy neon kind!!), and hairbands in there.

2-my headphones. i don't know why these aren't attached to the ipod, but whatevs. i'm cool.

3-phone and ipod. i'm saving up for an iphone, but i don't have enough yet...;( so i just take both wit me. word.

4-my house key. i usually go through the garage, but this makes me feel like these are car keys. i actually can't drive. sooooo...

5. my lotion, hand sany, and babylips. funny story. i've been looking for the babylips for like 3 months, and then yesterday i finally found them in my pants. so they'd been through a couple of wash cycles. or they just hadn't been worn.

6-my gum & sunnies. i got a twelve pack at costco (haha, almost typed six pack, cause i get my abs at costco, right? yep.) for 4.99, so that's a DEAL. i got excited in the car. i also got my sunnies at F21. they're peach and fab.

xoxo

p.s. happy 4th! heading over to an island. that i just made sound really cool. but it's actually just a beach.

one thing i have to say first off.

this made me hungry.

and since i have no money, i couldn't buy anything.

it was espec. hard to edit these babies staring at all the veggies.

even though i don't eat veggies.

except salad.

and croutons. that counts, right?

so i eat two veggies. salad & croutons.

i rock.

dear bloggy,

i know i've been a bad child. i have neglected you.

let's make it the last time, kay?

if i forget again, my mom can buy you ice cream.

love, kelsey

we found a caterpillar, named it larry, loved it with all our hearts, and then it pooped on our barbeque. nice larry.

my friend layna and i can fly.

my inspiration board [sorry for the blurry picture]

apparantly it's okay to text on my phone to my friends saying that i have a "feroucious biting sister who really won't hurt." quote on quote from le sister.

ten hours at a baseball game sometimes isn't enough time to let you finish your homework. oh, by the way that's my sister. when she gets to the big leagues, she promised that she'll share the moolah.

we picked spirit days for school, and we had formal day. aaaand then i ran a mile not the best idea in a strapless dress.

xoxo

how do i hear god?

noreply@blogger.com (kelsey ann) — Tue, 29 May 2012 03:56:00 +0000

"sometimes, through that one verse, god speaks to me"
my sister asked this question as we were going to bed, and my dad answered by telling her that answer. just then, i felt as if god was speaking through him to me. Throughout the whole day i had been wondering how good could speak to me so i could become closer to him. this helped me. my dad also said that if you read something from the bible, you don't have to feel pressured to read a whole chapter, you can read just one verse-maybe from a psalm or proverbs, and meditate on that verse-doodle it on your math homework, write it on your hand, and that verse will become a prat of who you are as a person not just a regular person, but a person of god. tonight, i had to reach for my notebook on the ground and scribble this in because it meant something to me. i feel as if this is how i hear god, through other people. i want to share this with the whole world, shout it out of canyons, tell non-believers that there is a god who loves you and wants you to spend eternity with him-the god of the universe-that he'll care for you and always be there for you. this is how i hear god.

best friends

my best friend erin came over on sunday after church, and it was 61 degrees. that's hot in washington, people. we went over to the nearest park and took 218 pictures. she's gettin really good at photography. i'm the one with the bun and scarf, and she's the pretty one with the blonde hair. it was super fun just frolicking around in the 61 degree weather. if it was any hotter, i think i would have died. seriously. all gone, no more kelsey.

anyway.

xo.

fashion: day two

noreply@blogger.com (kelsey ann) — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 23:02:00 +0000

people, we are on a roll! let's get this pawty started for the second day in a row.

this is how to take a [or 500] picture of your outfit, and do an outfit post.

i take a lot of pictures. as you may see.

rule 1: always stare into the camera really serious like you're VERY interested in the people who are gonna read your post. and stand in a tree. with toms.

rule 2: make sure you stare very intently to the flowers that are on your left. i promise you, they're gonna be interesting. garountee or your money back.

rule 3: make sure to open your eyes really wide to scare the people on your blog. it's attractive. trust me, i would know.

rule 4: the door is your friend. stand in front of it and study your scarf. your neighbors will be mesmerized.

rule 5: measure your height by the door. that way you'll know if that door is right for you. if not, i promised you a garuntee or your money back, rememer?

rule 6: flipping your hair back and forth is a good tactic. that way, you are taking pictures, and looking like a rockstar at the same time. genius, right? and if that doesn't work, keep trying, and you'll end up looking like chewbacca in no time.

fashion: day one

noreply@blogger.com (kelsey ann) — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 00:22:00 +0000

to start off this fantabuloussupercalifragilisticexpialidocious week/month/year, i'm going to give you some tips on patterns.

just as a tip in general, don't be afraid to wear an awesome outfit even while you are carrying a bowl of chicken-noodle soup. it just works for followers...trust me, i know [hopefully].

1. you can mix and match patterns. i have 2 different patters going on, the striped scarf and the heart skirt. the stripes work with the sweater, which is "rose," and the skirt works with my shirt [not pictured] because it's grey. if you find two patterns that you love, make sure they both have a partner in the outfit. the scarf and the sweater are partners, and the skirt and the shirt are partners.

2. don't be afraid to mix shapes, either. i mixed the hearts in the skirt, the circular-ish pockets of the sweater, and the stripes in the scarf together. if two of them are in the same "family," such as the hearts and the pockets, because they are both rounded in some way, then you can incorporate another shape into the outfiit, like the stripes.

3. remember not to over-pattern it. if you wear stripes, circles, hearts, triangles, squares, and every other shape known to mankind, it's not gonna work for ya. that creates too much distraction and brings away from the outfit. but if those shapes are all in one article of clothing, such as this skirt, then you might want to pair that with a plain t-shirt and accesorize with a cute beated necklace and a plain hairstyle, like a side braid.

4. also, don't under-pattern it. if you aren't wearing any patterns at all, then the outfit will become kind of boring. you don't want to wear black yogas, a plain white t-shirt, and your hair just down, because that is not very interesting. instead, you could wear the white t-shirt with a skirt like this one, that has some pattern in it, and a light pink cardigan, maybe with a pair of earrings that help your face stand out.

see? it's easy, once you have the right patterns.

xoxo kelsey

fashion: a sneak peek

noreply@blogger.com (kelsey ann) — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 23:49:00 +0000

lately, i've been trying to find my style...see who i am. i don't want to just throw on clothes and run, i want to show people who i am and what i like through my clothes. i've been taking more time picking out outfits, outfits that aren't just sweats and a t-shirt, but outfits that are more me. so i'm going to be doing a little series on fashion this week [hopefully] or throughout this month. so here we go with a little sneak peek:
