This is a story about cupcakes...
It all started when me and my two friends decided to go to the beach after work to swim (that's right... your girl has been going into the ocean and learning to swim and without a one piece I might add... scandalous)
After belly flop contests, my swimsuit almost falling off me, and getting knocked down by a wave (lolz)... I somehow agreed to bringing the whole stand cookies. (As a thank you for holding my sunnies and phone... And the countless band-aids, water, and sunscreen they- ok one guard- gives me.) Next thing I know cookies turn into cupcakes that I'll make myself.
Remember how I said my brain turns into mush around boys well... I just agreed to bring cupcakes... And at my summer home I have no oven. That's right I just agreed to make cupcakes with no oven. What was I to do!? Drive over to the nearest Toys R Us and buy an Easy Bake Oven!? Like IM RUNNIN OUTTA TIME OVER HERE!
So naturally I'm calling my grandma and aunt cuz they're actually normal and own an oven. "Can I use your oven to make cupcakes? I sorta forgot I don't have one." Desperate times call for desperate measures, it's cool I just won't make cupcakes and won't get married. That's all... Nbd.
Don't worry aunt came in clutch and granted the use of her oven. So cue the wedding bells, the cupcakes are being made! Now if you've been following me- you'll know I love Pinterest! So if you've looked for chicken recipes there- you've probably came across "Man Catching Chicken" well I'm about to blow that out of the water. I'm talking about Man Catching Cupcakes
• box of dark chocolate cake mix
• mini chocolate chips
• chocolate fudge icing
WARNING: these cupcakes will ensure plenty of hugs. One might even hold your hand and sing to you. They shall cause men to actually say "I love you. I want to marry you." (Just be sure to bring out a written contract for him to sign... That is where I went wrong.)
But I mean if a guy cleans your sunglasses for you on his own, I guess he deserves the cupcakes and you should struggle to find an oven ;)

Life Lately (an insta and link round-up)
I am so sorry I have been so MIA lately (I feel like I may be apologizing a ton over the summer...) Along with starting my summer job (beach tagging) I also had my computer crash on me... So blogging has been pretty tough. I'm on the mobile app right now... So we see how this goes. Here is my Instagram (and iPhone gallery) round up and link up :) I've missed LookBrooke!!!
((Update: in order to do links… I had to use a computer and somehow (a miraculous God given miracle mine turned on.. for now) sooo yayyy))

2. With a view like this, it makes even the nastiest people worth it. ((There's always a reason for positivity.))
3. [shoes found here] Before I left for Jersey I spent a day at Ivy Lake in Lynchburg. ((PSA: The only flip flops you need in the summer are rainbows. They last for years. Don't have funky colors, so they can go with anything. Lastly, they're super comfortable.))
1. I basically single handedly funded Starbucks all because I am obsessed with the look of their cookies.
2. I feel like if you follow me on Instagram (@brooklyn_terry) or on snapchat: btbroomell then it looks like I don't ever do my nails. But I promise I actually do like to do my nails ((and Essie is the bomb)) If you know of any nail polishes or specific colors, please leave a shout out below and help a girl out!
3. [cheekys found here] Guys I'm bathingsuit obsessed right now. I am probably going to start having dreams that I'm bathingsuit shopping... Yep it's that bad. So if yall wanna flood my inbox with adorable bathing suits like I won't complain. But for reals, my tan line is atrocious and I may scare people on the beach so pray for them and me? K. Like I really want to order this one piece incase I ever get swim lessons again.
1. I have a confession. These aren't even my ray bans, I lost mine in the lake... They're my dads. Phew, glad I got that off my chest.
2. [current favorite product from them] Basically my newest clothing obsession is Jadelynn Brooke and it kills me my paycheck didn't arrive in time to wear one of their adorable America shirts for the fourth. But expect a ton of their stuff to be popping up in the future cuz their my new fav ;)
3. Other than my computer issues, work has just wen taking up my time. ((Ok work, waiting for hours for my dad to get off life guarding, and the binge netflix watching if I'm going to be honest)) but between the tagging, almost falling in the ocean, sunburns, and trying to live out my childhood dream of being aquamarine ((ummm laugh and pass and the fluff and retreat??.. Talking to cute boys can be hard)) I have missed this little place I so thankfully get to call mine.
1. [shirt found here] I actually adore this shirt. I would probably wear it everyday if I could. It's my go to "throw on after work" or as a beach cover up! ((Plus I actually am totally a seer-sucker for a bow in a bow tie))
2. My mom, sister, and her best friend came to visit this past weekend and it was the greatest. I never realized how close me and my sister got over this past year til I moved away from her again. While we have our differences, are total opposites, and often times never agree... I am so thankful that God blessed me with a sister like Caroline. I only hope I'm the big sister she deserves.
3. [shirt found here] Ya know those shirts you find and never take off again? You keep finding ways to incorporate it into your wardrobe because it's that good?? This is one of those shirts. I'm on my way to becoming Lizzie McGuire with the amount of times I've repeated this outfit, shirt, and even the amount of times I've thought about it long and hard. Forever 21 does it again folks.
1. My Starbucks addiction subsides when I'm hear and my life is ran by Dunkin and Wawa iced coffee....
2. [shirt found here] Atlantic City just opened this new group of bars in Caesar's called "The Playground" (a little bit of a sketchy name... I know) but anyway me and my friend went and what we learned was:
A. We are not and never will be club people.
B. Wine, pjs, and a movie seem more our speed
C. We were made to be restaurant hoppers not bar hoppers.
D. We are secretly grandmas who want to be asleep by like 10. It's cool.
3. I went to philly about a month ago, and fell in love. I only spent about an hour there... But the fast paced atmosphere is to die for. Take. Me. Back.
Well that's about all I've been up to. My life is a great but significantly boring one as of lately hahah. ((Be sure to keep up on Instagram: @brooklyn_terry))
Happy Thursday lovelies ;)

#tumblrcrushthursday
Anyway… back to tumblr. I am obsessed, it's a great way to get inspiration but also be a little more yourself (pinterest is amazing and I love it… but there is a sense of privacy only tumblr brings.) Thanks to tumblr now my day dreams are filled with fashion, beautiful beach interior, and all the Lilly a girl could imagine. And a ton of photo inspiration and (a lot like Pinterest) has ruined me with photo expectations for my wedding and evidently my friends need to take 47363 candids of me at all times...
I am excited to share this edition's top five tumblr accounts (seeing as two of them I actually know in real life… and they inspire me not only through tumblr but who they are as people.) I think that's another beautiful part of the internet as a whole though, even if we don't actually know them in real life… we get to see a glimpse into who they truly are and their beautiful souls. It's a real beautiful thing.
For me that's the beauty and allure of tumblr. It's where everyone shows you the key to their heart, and you get to join in on the fun and together make masterpieces.

Loving Lately
((I really just want to apologize for the serious lack of creativity and of outfit posts or anything FUN! My computer has been on the fritz making life that much harder, and honestly… I'm not sure when it's going to get fixed or when a new one will be in my grasp. So I thank you in advance for keeping up with this crazy journey I call life and for bearing with me as I probably will start blogging without a computer (mobile app for the win!) I have plenty of outfit posts lined up, but between the rain and the whole no computer thing… it puts a damper on things. Anyway hope your weekend is going well and better than this computer fiasco is treating mine.))
Jadelynn Brooke
Remember how I said I'm just not a t-shirt person?? Well Jadelynn Brooke makes me rethink my stand. The company is ran by three adorable sisters who are small town Southern girls. "We are all very different, but we share one important thing, our Faith and Family are always first. Sure, we argue and get really upset when one of us "borrows" things…. but when push comes to shove, we have a sisterhood that no one can come in between." ((Also how absolutely adorable is this shirt… ordered for Fourth of July… check!))
Perversion Mascara
I know I'm one to talk (type) your ear off on products I like, enjoy, or just think are pretty but I seriously am not saying this lightly…. If you need mascara this is the one for YOU. (That is if you can use any mascara… seeing as I know due to allergies or sensitive skin… sometimes beauty products just don't work out.) If you remember my recount on all the Lilly madness… I took full advantage of being in PA and went to King of Prussia and the Sephora store. (praise Him!) While there I was battling back and forth on either the Perversion or Better Than Sex Mascara. Due to a friend's recommendation I left with Perversion and honestly I haven't looked back. When you find the mascara you can throw on and just leave the house (I mean and swipe your lipgloss too) then you know you've found your mascara soul mate.
Infallible Foundation
I have already mentioned how amazing this foundation is and how it's just as nice as Makeup Forever's HD Foundation… but guys this truly is the holy grail of drugstore. My favorite part of this foundation is how long it truly lasts. I can put it on and never touch it up and it still has the same amount of coverage as it did when I first applied it. The only reason I use a primer, is for the mattering effect seeing as I have pretty oily skin. If you aren't oily, this is the only product you need for a flawless canvas! ((as Kandee Johnson would say… you're foundation is the most important ;) )) Also if you follow me on Snapchat… I am sorry because you've already seen me post about this mascara like 4746 times. ( LOVE IT. )
NYX Buttergloss… Tiramisu
I had bought this color last summer and then proceeded to lose it from the move. So imagine my happiness when I just recently found it. I am obsessed, it's the perfect nude color to add some color but not too much where you feel awkward if you weren't wearing your normal makeup routine. (Seriously this with mascara and I am golden.)
Beauty Secrets Nail Polish Remover
I know this is kind of a really weird thing to put down on a list, I realize that. It has an almost floral perfumey scent to it which I really enjoy. For nail polish remover, I find it extremely easy to get the actual polish off. I don't know about you, but usually I'm scrubbing the same finger for what feels like forever… and with this specific polish I'm already onto my second hand.
Physician Formula Powder Palette
I know highlighters are all the rage, but I honestly am not the biggest fan. Not really in general, but more on my skin just because mixed with my oily skin… I just feel like a wax figure gone wrong. But on the days I want a little extra glow, I dust on this mineral glow pearls palette and get the perfect amount of sheen… so I don't look like a sweaty mess (cuz that's not attractive lol.)
Makeup Forever Translucent Powder
While talking about not looking like a wax figure gone wrong… here is the real trick up my sleeve. My own little fairy godmother in a bottle… translucent powder. I usually carry this specific one in my purse for touch ups through out the day. But if you want a quick pick me up from feeling like a dripping gross mess, this will do it!

On The Radar: 2015 Rompers and Two-Piece Sets
When rompers became the newest thing, I admit I hated them. To be they just seemed like uncomfortable women diapers to make the everyday life... awkward. I wouldn't look at them, try them on, they didn't exist in my world.
That is, until I accidentally picked up one from the rack at Forever21 and since it was already in the dressing room with me... I tried it on and my view immediately changed. They're functional, more comfortable then it may seem at first, and I kid you not... I truly believe there is a romper out there for any one.
I am currently on the search for the perfect romper (or two or three...) one to really dress up with heels and one to wear casually when I just don't want to try after working all day. (Ya know summer were lazy is slightly justified) Here are a few of my favorites... (like ummm the scalloped number 7!?!?) I actually tried on 5 in the store (Express) and loved it but didn't want to pay that much money... and well it's on sale (!!!!)
***Just reminding yall, always leave a comment if you need me to search for a romper for you (within a price range or anything) I have been asked to look for bathing suits before, and I absolutely love and don't mind doing it at all!***
((This weekend we're doing the final moving and as bittersweet as it is... it's one step closer to jersey and my summer so... weekend go by fast.))
Even More Rompers:
