Panda Day

Someone forgot to tell me the memo the other day. Apparently it was "wear a panda hat to school" day. It should be a national holiday.

Tanner was definately asleep after sacrament the other Sunday. I love it

License Plates

I love good license plates :)

The screen saver on our computer is a loop of ALL of the pictures. Some are old, some are new, some are funny, some aren't, and SOME have famous people in them. Like the time when Kirsi and I saw Drew Barrymore and Justin Long.

Drew Barrymore is on the left and Justin Long is on the right. He kept looking over at me as I was snapping so many pictures.

Some pictures on the loop are old pics with a famous person. But back then Zac wasn't quite yet famous. Just a kid with a gap in his teeth. 

Every morning as im in my closet getting ready for the day I look at the back of my closet door. Why? Cause it has a wonderul collage on it. But there are two pictures I look at the most.

Good ole Cinderella AND. . .

Prince Philip on his mighty steed

The whole collection is pretty dang cool though.

Do you see Phelps??

Do you see Tina Fay?

I have always wondered what I would look like with different color hair. Ive always wanted strawberry blond hair to be specific.

THIS IS NOT A WIG

but its as close as ill ever get to being a red head.

Message in a Bottle

Dear 2 favorite pair of sunglasses,

I miss you dearly. Where have you gone? Why have you gone? When are you coming back? I need answers to these questions so I will know for sure if I need to replace you or if a tender reunion will be in store. I have found pairs that are wanna-be's but its not the same. I can't live without the constants in my life. My brown blingin glasses. And my classic, black, zebra, ray bans.

Your faithful owner who always treated you with respect,
Leena

Hats

I may or may not really super alot like hats. I dont wear them often but I have alot of them.

My two trucker hats. One has a scenic veiw of Hawaii on it. The other says "Na-mas-day" (but the way its really spelled) on it encirlced with flames. Its quite ironic hehe

Then we could talk about my obsession with old hats.

I have a good number (too many to mention) of hats like this. Black ones, Pink ones, more Pink ones, Brown ones and more. 

 

My Forever 21 fedora. Mine is slightly different. The band isnt black but full of different colors.

My favorite hat I have is frowned upon by most of my family. Apparently I'm embarressing to walk with when I'm wearing it. So I only wear it on special occassions. Kirsi determines the occassions.

Usually the only appropriate occassoin is the drive in. So I take advantage of that.

But the hat I would really love to add to my collection is a mix between this hat

and this hat

Its a rather complex duo. But in my mind its crystal clear. Allow me to explain. The masterpiece would be woven and the same materials such as Marriannes hat. But the curve would be all the way around. Inside the curve just peeking through would be a bow such as the picture above. The bow would be either a deep deep purple or black. Either color would work for me. :) 

Please Still Be My Friend

Beleive it or not imma really good shopper. I only buy things in a reasonable price. But some things are just out of my price range.

Take this $2 dress for example. It just wasn't in my budget though. But I really wanted it!!! It would have been the perfect spring/summer dress :)

10 Little Known Facts about Leena Lou

Kindly written by Kirsi, today's guest blogger.

1) She is going to see Justin Bieber in July. Its gonna be super fun.

2) She doesn't say the "g" sound on the end of words. For example, "Dang it" becomes "dane it" and "going" becomes "go-een." But its endearing. I love her for it.

3) Alot of the times, more of her outfit comes from my side of the closet than hers.

4) She is learning to play the harp.

5) She recently cut about 6 inches off her hair. And its adorable. Like THIS-. But she has been to busy with school to post a picture.

6) She warms up her cold feet on my legs at night. And they're freezing!

7) She has more jewelry than anyone I have ever met.

8) She has a slight obsession with a BCBG sweat outfit. It looks like THIS. She wears it everyday with a different shirt. Today she freaked out because there was a small hole in the pants :)

9) She has Invisalign and when she takes them out to eat, she says "I need to take my teeth out." Which is funny, because she isn't really taking her teeth out.

10) She definately loves Pinkberry with me and knows all the workers there.

Happy homework to the best sister ever, and I'd be happy to guest blog anytime you are busy!
