Hey all! Hope your week has been going great. I've been busy with school and working, still fighting those winter blues but hoping to get out of the funk soon. One thing that has been helping is the magic of black and white. I know, I know, it's really a no brainer. These colors have gone together since the beginning of time and it really never goes out of style. This Spring though will have a little more clarity with stark contrasts of graphics and patterns. Inspiration from the 1950s and 60s bring looks full circle.

Happy 2013! I can't believe another year has gone past, and things are still going so well. Tons of things happened last year for me, and I hope this year will continue what I started working on. Keeping my fingers crossed for good things. I recently had surgery for a cyst to be removed in all places, the bellybutton, but it went well and I'm now fully recovered. Damn things itches though. I am slowly trying to work on updating my blog design and hopefully make it more presentable. So bear with me while things change. Even trying to find out if my I can change my blog domain name. Should be interesting.

For a start to the year, here is a little inspiration post. Images I've found through Tumblr and other sites. Give me good feels. Plus, I've entered a contest on ModCloth where you can win a YEAR full of dresses. So if any of you want to vote for me, I'd really appreciate that.

Wow, it's been awhile since I actually updated. Life has been pretty busy. I'm in school, working at GapKids, and also interning for Choix. It's been pretty intense these last couple months, but I somehow have gotten by. So I figured I'd start anew with a 'These Things' post for November. All of these things I am currently obsessing about. To a vintage coat from the 1920s, to Hook and Aurora from the ABC show Once Upon A Time, and to a gorgeous new cover of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I am definitely prepping for Christmas this year.

Ahhh, I do love Autumn. It brings out tons of comfy sweaters, dark colors, and playing in the leaves! I am in love with this sweater because not only is it a gorgeous color, but it's super comfy and perfect for layering. Which is perfect because the weather here in Minnesota has decided to bring out a cold chill in the air. Makes me want to put on several layers and also to curl up in bed and read a good book!
