Jackets, Hoodies, and Sweaters

I know that the weather is getting warmer, but something inside of me feels as though I didn't put my jackets, hoodies, and sweaters to the best use this winter. So, in order to feel better about that, I took pictures of me wearing all of them :) There might be a couple I missed that are hiding deep in my closet, but that's alright seeing as how it already took me over a half hour to get through all the others! Here they are :)
(Some of them you can't see very well, but let me know which one is your favorite! I'm just curious...)
Have a happy Thursday!!!!

Bling it up with Vintage

This is a ring that I have been bidding on on ebay. I love it. Chances are, I won't win the ring because I don't have all that much money to spend. (btw-- if anyone knows of a place that I can work this summer, let me know!:) However, I am the top bidder as of this moment, and there are only 2 hours left of the bid time.... I know a lot can happen in two hours, but hey, maybe I'll get the ring after all :)

With a camera and a little touch of pixie dust...

"Life is full of beauty.
Notice it. Notice the bumble bee,
the small child, and the smiling faces.
Smell the rain and feel the wind.
Live your life to the fullest potential,
and fight for your dreams."
--an Ashley Smith quote

A couple days ago, my older sister and I got sick of playing card games (Skip-bo and Wacky Sixes--Justin, those are the names of the games I was trying to remember yesterday!) because we had been playing for nearly 5 hours, so we decided to find something else to do. Guess what we did... We did a mini photo shoot! Oh my lanta, it was one of the funniest things ever! We pulled clothes from each others closets, attached different bed sheets and shower curtains to my bedroom ceiling, and then just had at it!
Yesterday, one of my friends informed me about a nice little website called Picnik where you can play around with pictures and make them all fun... for FREE! Needless to say, I spent a couple hours last night playing around on the website with some of the pictures my sister and I took. Here a just a few of them! Let me know what you think :)

(I had to hold my skirt down, lol :)

I Like

There are just some things that I love the intricate details of. A couple of those things are lace and doilies. Last week, I went shopping with my mom to find clothes that we could wear in a family picture. (We had family pictures taken last week before my little bro left. I'll be putting some of the pictures up in the future). At one of the stores we went to, I found some shirts and vests that had lacey backs, which I immediately fell in love with! I know it's hard to see in the picture (I got tired of trying to make it better quality, that I just made it black and white!), but the back of the shirt is put together like a lacey doily. Unfortunately, I didn't keep the shirt, but I am hopeful that I will find something like it in the future that I can add to my wardrobe :)

Having a Preference

When I put make-up on, I typically work on both eyes at the same time. I'll put eye liner on one, then on the other; eye shadow on one, then on the other; mascara on one, then on the other. I don't know why, but I just had the urge this morning to put all the make-up on one eye first to make a comparison between the two. After looking at the differences between each eye, I was reminded of a magazine I looked at yesterday while getting my hair cut. There was an article that talked about natural beauty and the preferences people have on wearing make-up or not. I'm a fence sitter. Some days I just feel like going with the natural look, while most days I tend to wear make-up if I'm leaving the house.
I hope you all have a lovely Tuesday!!!






And here are some pictures of my new haircut for those of you that are interested :) It's not too different from what I had before, but I like it!

A New Head of Hair

Hayley Nichole Williams, the lead singer of Paramore, has one nice head of hair! I love how she dyes her hair a daring redish orange, and cuts it up all choppy. Today I actually went to get my hair cut, and I used her style for inspiration. No, I did not dye my hair, but I somewhat immitated her choppy layers.

I don't know what it is, but I tend to like the emo girl haircuts. I'm not necessarily into the black and blue colors, but the grunge is something I like.
