Great Scott!

I am so sorry I've been away for so long! But I have some pretty sturdy excuses, if I may say so myself~ So I'll just spurt them out to you one by one :)


1. High School Pageant

It was last weekend, and for the first time I did a talent during the pageant. That will never happen again, trust me! It just added way too much stress to the whole thing! In fact, I was so nervous to sing in front of everyone (which is strange, since I perform in theater all the time and its never phased me before) that I completely forgot to take pictures of my opening number dress, talent outfit and gown. BUT! To make up for it, I compiled this mash-up of gown inspiration! These are the things I look for in a prom or pageant dress:

2. Auditions!!!

Yes, so my highschool drama department just happens to be doing my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PLAY EVER. I mean, the show that I know every word and dance too by heart; the show that got me into theater in the first place; the show that has been with me since early childhood...and auditions were this week! So, as you can guess, I was too busy stressing to even dress cute all week! The cast list should be up next week, so I'll keep you updated :)

3. The Camera That Broke

(Scarf: Victoria Secret, Coat: Old Navy, Cardigan: Old Navy, Belt: Forever 21, Button Up: Old Navy, Jeans: Express, Jewerly: Steinmart)

So, as you can see, these are very bad pictures. That is because my camera died on me D:
Seriously- its gone. I'll have to buy a new one! In the mean time, I can use my moms but unfortunately its wasn't charged today...and I knew if I put off taking pictures any longer it would just never happen. So instead, you get these crappy web-cam ones! Yay :)

Oh, and one more thing, I thought I'd share some art with you all. I really only draw in my spare time now (which is like, never!) so I didn't work very hard on any of these...but I think they turned out decent :)

Cabin Fever

(google images)

A bit of inspiration for you all. Sometimes when I need inspiration I look to home decor. Its an art form I have so much respect for (but no talent!) I love going through bedding magazines and watching home design tv shows. You have to have an extremely good understanding of color and shapes to put a room together successfully- but the same goes for clothing too!




(Lace Top: Forever 21, Jacket: Forever 21, Skirt: New York and Co., Tights: Anthropologie, Overcoat: Old Navy)

I got these tights for Christmas (I wish I had a better picture of them!) and after looking at my inspiration pictures I had to put them on- and the rest of my outfit followed in accordance. These pictures don't show my actual outfit too well, but it was just too cold to take my coat off! The weather has been awful- in fact, I'm out of school all week. And that wouldn't be so terrible if I hadn't spent the past four days stuck in my house! My mom and I were starting to loose our minds so we managed to fight the snow and go thrifting today. I picked up some sweaters that I'm pretty excited about!



I'm very new to thrifting, but I can feel a strong addiction taking over already! If you have any tips or know good places to go, let me know!
