Earring Frustration! (trixie)

I recently got my ears pierced and was told by my doctor that I should only wear gold or silver post earrings for about a year. I was completely fine with that at first because I don't want my ears to get infected, but I have discovered that it is really hard to find a fun, relatively cheap pair of gold/silver post earrings. Hardly any stores sell them, and if they do, I find them plain and boring. Here is one of the only cute pairs of gold post earrings I have found ($24.00 at Anthropologie)

I'm Missing Summer Already.....

While I definitely love fall and winter the most (and definitely like fashion better then too), I'm already kind of sad at the prospect of summer ending. All the things I want to do during the summer but never quite get around to. Below, I was looking for a vintage bike but found this old pin-up picture and thought it looked cool! I would love to own a vintage bike one day.



Another thing that I wish I had done this summer was have a picnic. I don't even remember the last time I went on a picnic. Wouldn't it be great to have a garden like this in your backyard?? Perfect setting!

The picture below I found on the blog http://joannagoddard.blogspot.net, I thought it was funny!

And btw, Trixie, it's your turn to post on the weekends!!

the BIG c!

So, I watched the premiere last week and loved it! I laughed so much and had a smile on my face the whole time. It's a show about a women who finds out she has stage IV cancer and a year at the most to live. She decides to make the most of it and well, live life to the fullest. I can't wait to see what tonight's episode has in store!

I'm off,

"Snow Frolics"

As I have already mentioned, I am currently obsessed with the movie called Love Story. One of my favorite things about the film is its musical score. There is one particular song from Love Story that I listen to all of the time, and it is called "Snow Frolics." I love this song because it is very euphoric and is has a very 70s-ish vibe. Tell me what you think of it.

Anthropologie Haul

My mom and I went shopping at Anthropologie today, and I bought four great pieces. The first is a knit head band that will be fashionable and warm during the fall and winter. The next item is a ruffled cream cardigan that I can pair with anything. I bought what I thought was a really pretty dress that looks great with the sweater, but I discovered by looking on the Anthropologie website that the dress is really a chemise! Even though it is supposed to be worn under cloths as a slip, I still think I can pass it off as a sundress. The last item I bought is a casual top that has black and white stripes and is adorned with scarf-like material. I found pictures of the first three items on the Anthropologie website. Tell me what you think of them!

3 Awesome Things!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while! Here are three awesome things I want to share with you.

1. www.welovecolors.com -For a long time I have been searching for a place to buy cool tights, and I have finally found it. On this website, they have tights, leggings, socks, and dance wear in dozens of colors. The prices are a little high, but the shipping is only $5.

2. I bought another cute dress at Blush. It has a floral design that resembles antique wallpaper, and I layer it over a long-sleeve tee.

3. My mom loves to go to Target and buy old movies that are on sale. They usually don't interest me because she usually buys war movies or 80s action flicks. Last week, however, my mom bought a movie made in 1970 called Love Story. She said that it was the "it" film when she was in high school and it was one of her favorite movies when she was a teen. I was skeptical about it at first, but it turns out that I absolutely LOVED it. The movie's stars are Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal (Ferrah Fawcett's long time boyfriend). I loved the characters, the plot, and I was either laughing or crying through the whole movie. Its musical score is also really beautiful. Here is a link to the trailer.
