It's Gonna Be a Happy New Year


Happy New Year from Ziggy and I.
Bracelets: Nomination and Juicy Couture
Studded Belt: BCBG
Tights: Target
Booties: Madden Girl

I had to start the new year in this charming Alice and Olivia dress. It has pleated puff sleeves and lovely scalloping on the bottom. I added a black studded belt, black tights, and some studded booties to add some rock to the otherwise elegant dress. I hope 2010 brings wonderful things to everyone. I usually don't make new year resolutions but I think this year is a time for new beginnings.
Goals for 2010:

.Be Kind to Those Who Deserve it Least.

.Read a poem daily.

.Create something beautiful once a week outside of school.

.Blog more.

.Make sure all my friends know how amazing they are.

.Send more handwritten notes.


What are your resolutions for the new year?

wild at heart

Completely in love with Every Little Count's shop. It's full of tees inspired by romance, nostalgia, and young love. I need some of these tees in my life. Handmade in Brooklyn.

freedom in the night

follow your dreams...and find yourself
"I have worn so many masks in my life that quite often,

I find myself forgetting who I really am

Sometimes I feel like life is a game and I play with myself and others

More than anything, I long to collect all the pieces of my life

and put the puzzle back together again"



"she looked at him and all she saw was a stranger. the boy she once loved was gone. she knew it was time to fly away. she looked down from the sky and took one more glimpse at the stranger then left it all behind"

"I'm thankful that no matter how dark things might get, old friendships can still be rekindled. I'm thankful for new relationships that help us realize how far we've come from who we were and how close we get when we can really be ourselves. I'm thankful to know that no matter what they say you can go home...whether it's your home or not."

Let's Rock it Out at a Tea Party


One Tree

On the radio, they were talking about guilty pleasure TV shows and one of the guys said he loves watching Gossip Girl. So...I'm a giant geek because I'm obsessed with One Tree Hill. I never watched the show until they were out of high school and now I love it. At least I can admit my guilty pleasure. Of course my favorite characters left the show...how sad. Miss you Peyton. What's your guilty pleasure?

Blast from the Past

Today I was walking down the lovely streets of Philly and saw a guy roller skating to class...not rollerblading, not skateboarding...ROLLER SKATING. I loved it. It made my morning a little brighter. I think it's time to bring roller skating back.

Big Kid at Heart

I found this picture and fell in love, why didn't I have a room like this when I was younger? All kids deserve this awesome of a room.

Fall Sunshine

Getting a warm day is the highlight of my fall. I'm not quite sure why I live in a city that gets cold. Bringing some color into my outfits makes the cold a little more bearable.
Sunglasses: Ray Ban Wayfarers
Cardigan: Forever21
Belt: H&M
Tights: Target

Puppy Love

I'm obsessed with the blog Le Love. One of the entries was so fitting. My pup pup *not really a pup since she was 13 years old* died in October. If you have ever lost a pet you need to look at this entry, it's so cute. On Halloween I brought two new loves into my life, adorable brother and sister sheltie pups. Ziggy and Hailey.

Happy Friday!

I've been insanely busy with grad school and slacking with blogging.  While hunting for inspiration and drowning in tea to stay awake...I found this amazing illustrator, Rita Lee.  Check her out.
