I'll be heading to college in the fall and I can't wait to decorate my dorm room! The plan is to room with three other girls in a suite like dorm. We'll have a private bathroom, two bedrooms (with two girls to a room), and a very small living space. I've started scoping out some cute pieces. What do you think?

I've become shoe obsessed lately! Which anyone can tell you who's close to me is definitely out of the norm! I'm not a shoe girl by any means. I prefer to have cute and functional pairs and don't find myself splurging shoes I don't see myself wearing everyday. With the rapid approach of prom and spring in general, my shoe obsession has grown. Take a look at these lovelies:

Today I was browsing Bust Magazine's website and stumbled across an article about a Brigitte Bardot inspired music video starring Dave Franco (James Franco's Brother) and Emma Roberts (as the iconic blonde bombshell). I watched it and fell in love. Enjoy:



Also, this is such a fun find since I've been obsessed with the 60's and 70's. I'm actually hoping to do something Bardot-ish for my hair for prom. --Swoons-

Yesterday when I was out renting movies I stumbled across this flick while I was in the checkout line. It was sitting on a rack of lesser known movies like, 'The Last Call 3.' The title was captivating and I saw that it had Andrew Garfield, Keira Knightly, & Carrie Mulligan in it. Why had I not seen this movie? I quickly read the back and crinkled my nose. It didn't seem even remotely like something I'd spend time watching, which was disappointing. Then, this morning I saw that Kari at Dove Tree blogged about it recently. She included the trailer:



I'm simply overwhelmed with how amazing it looks! It's not at all what I pictured and I'm definitely going to try and snag it for rent when I return the set of movies I just got! Have you seen it? Was it any good?

I'm so giddy for Red Velvet's Dress Line to premiere Monday I can't help myself! I've been finding myself scoping their new and improved website during Graphic Design II whenever I should be working on my projects. I just noticed that some of my favorite items have sold out. -Snaps Fingers- Darn!

A few weeks ago we got a lot of snow where I live! This really doesn't happen often so I took the opportunity to take pictures for a rare outfit post. This outfit was fun to wear and I didn't get too chilly whilst snapping these few shots. Over the next few hours we got about six more inches! I'm so happy spring is now well on it's way!

I've spent all week contemplating things and it all started with a dream about my favorite blogger Elsie Flannigan. In my dream I was visiting her quaint vintage store in Springfield, MO. I met her at the counter and she asked me what I was doing with my life and (most importantly) blog. I was looking at the pretty vintage and I failed to come up with an answer. I was dumbfounded. Where exactly was I going? The next morning I woke up feeling motivated. I grabbed my journal and realized that I was ready to try my hand at the big leagues of blogging. I knew that it wouldn't be an overnight transformation, but one that would take careful planning, a little spending, and a lot of time, care, inspiration, and effort.

First off, I asked myself: What makes a business successful? Then, I wanted to know: Who are my rolemodels and why? This part was a breeze. I had a slew of blog-running rolemodels who had cultivated a unique, inspirational, and personal online space to share with the world. They are women who have turned their blog into a brand. They're passionate women who I can easily look up to! (click any of the images to enlarge)















After listing off my rolemodels and examining them, I wondered: What do I have to offer? What are my strengths? What will make my slice of the internet stand out in the best way possible?Lastly, I made a plan of action and a timeline to boot.





















Every blog (and blogger's) journey has to start somewhere. Mine starts here.
