i discovered the beauty of this happy color on my new best friend named pinterest. and now i'm thoroughly determined to have a yellow house. yep.






i LOVE it. what's your take on this cheery color?

time for friday's top five! here we go...

1. lemonade.


this brilliant girl, chloe, was in my efy session and performed this song at the variety show. i found her on youtube {turns out she writes and sings songs with her little sister, olivia} and am now longing for a chloe & olivia album! they are absolutely brilliant. lemonade, however, remains my favorite.

2. new shoes.


i found these puppies at tjmaxx {i'm a maxxinista! heh.} for a mere eleven dollars. i had to buy them. not only are they magenta, ridiculously tall, and a freaking bargain, but my mom gave them the stamp of approval. score! now i want to wear these with a little black dress to a dance. assuming someone asks me to one, of course.

3. dippidee.


we popped in this cute little bakery called dippidee the other day for a spontaneous treat, and holy. cow. their raspberry lemonade cupcake was one of the most delicious things i've ever eaten. along with their orange frosted snickerdoodle, homemade oreo, and little devil cupcake. divine, i tell you.

4. pinterest.


my newest obsession: pinterest.com. it's bad. but wonderful. i can look at hundreds of pretty pictures and sort them into boards like the ocd freak that i am. delicious.


5. getting old.


actually, i don't really love this one.

i got a letter addressed to me from byu admissions services. my heart was pounding as i opened it--call me crazy, but this whole college-in-a-year thing is freaking me out. the packet inside said the priority application deadline is december first. ack! that's so soon! scaryscaryscary. soon i'll be taking college finals and doing my own laundry, and stuff.

remember when i showed you my naked walls? well, they aren't naked anymore!



i am thoroughly in love with this room now. i thought i would really miss my jonas boys staring down at me from every angle, but this room reflects more of who i am now, i think. not that i'm supremely chic or anything.

ps, the white frames are from ikea. they're plastic. they cost five dollars. i love them. just thought you should know.

i am very pleased to introduce to you...the malfoy family!




yeah i know, lucius and narcissa don't look very old. at all. i'm workin' on it.

also, i really need a photo editing program that isn't iphoto and that doesn't cost as much as photoshop. i used to have paint.net on my pc, which was my best friend in the whole wide world. but now i have a mac which refuses to run my best friend. {and also maplestory. and my harry potter and the sorcerer's stone computer game from when i was seven. boo.} any suggestions, dear readers?

see this piece of paper right here? this means that i, julia larsen, passed my drivers test! {clap clap} which means that i can drop by the dmv any time i like, birth certificate and thirty dollars in hand, and get my official utah drivers license.

which is terrifying, for you and me.

get off the roads, teenage driver coming through!
