Happy Valentine's Day!

Just wanted to stop by today and drop you all a little love letter since it is Valentine's Day after all! From me to you, here is a loving reminder to love yourself and everyone in your life not only today but everyday after. I adore all of you more than you know; thank you for hanging out and chatting with me! Don't think I don't notice all you regulars. I've enjoyed getting to know you. Stay wonderful, kind and beautiful!

Happy Valentine's Day!

February

Image: here

I am welcoming February with open arms this year. Usually I can be a little bitter until all that Valentine's Day candy goes on super sale on the 15th. Regardless of whether or not I have a Valentine this year I have decided to have nothing but a positive attitude. I am dubbing February as Treat Yo'self Month. I fully intend on indulging in a little fun. I love everything associated with this month: hearts, love, flowers, and the color pink. It can be such a lovely month...regardless of how cold and snowy it is likely to be!

Happy February! What do you love about this month?

Dorm Wishlist


Since August has begun my roomie and I are now text each other back and forth with ideas and requests for our room design. We are trying to be as thrifty as we can, reusing what we had in our rooms last year and looking online for inexpensive products. This year we are also shopping for our own private bathroom (definitely a perk!) Even though I am maintaining what I already own for the dorm, that hasn't stopped me from scouring Pinterest for inspiration and ideas. Don't even get me started on what I've seen when I physically go into a store. Last Friday I went shopping and going into JCPenney may have been a mistake on my part...I happened to walk into Happy Chic by Jonathan Adler in the home department and I WANT IT ALL! In the display above I have two products from the collection--the pillow and bookends--that I kept picking up but ultimately decided I could not afford. My wishlist will no doubt increase through this month, above is just a few things that have caught my eye.

So I came upon this link up on Fancy Things and thought it looked fun! I wanted to do a post today, to keep up-to-date, but I have a final today so I didn't want anything too time consuming. So I decided to join Fancy Things and Let It Be Beautiful for this link up! Here are some of my favorite things that I happened upon from the past week or so.

1. Color Blocked Striped Scarf (Sole Society)
2. Garden Gazebo Pendant (ModCloth)
3. Love by Stephanie Sterjovski (here)
4. Embroidery Dress (She Inside)

Just a Moment...

Photo: Love Twenty

I just wanted to take a moment and express my condolences to those at the Boston Marathon yesterday and to anyone else affected by the incident. I myself know someone going to school up there and who was at the marathon when it happened. Fortunately, she is okay but it does hit close to home and is quite scary when you know someone who was there.

Sending love and prayers to Boston!

A Liebster Award for All


I know that I already did this, but I thought that since we are limited to 11 bloggers to nominate, I would do it again and nominate some of the other blogs that I didn't last time! I received this Liebster ("sweet" in German!) Award nomination from Emily at A Pile of Good Things, so I would like to extend a thanks for that.  Go ahead and check out her blog!

As I explained before the rules are as follows: state 11 facts about yourself, answer questions asked by the blogger who nominated you, ask your own (11) questions, nominate 11 bloggers to continue the award circulation.

11 Facts About Myself:
1. Shoes are my true weakness.
2. I love writing.
3. My favorite color combo is black, white, gold, and pink.
4. My favorite beverage is hot chocolate.
5. My favorite thing about the weekend is Sunday brunch with the girls.
6. I treasure any alone time I get.
7. I can speak Spanish almost fluently.
8. My favorite sport to watch is football (American)
9. I love sewing and knitting.
10. I have high-fived a member of the New Kids on the Block (be jealous!)
11. I still love buying CDs rather than making iTunes purchases (though I must say, Spotify is becoming something that I consider to be a gift from the gods!)

11 Questions Asked by Emily

1. What is your favorite book?
"Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen
2. What's the worst part about blogging?
Constantly worrying about keeping up to date and not being able to post as much as I would like to.
3. What's your favorite place to shop at?
Francesca's or Forever 21.
4. How do you get the hang of Thursdays? (I'm sorry, this was an essay question and I couldn't resist. Be creative!)
I just keep telling myself that the week is almost over. Thursdays really aren't that bad for me. I just remind myself that it's not Wednesday (that day is awful)
5. What's one makeup/beauty product you can't live without?
Moisturizer. I have one color of nail polish ( Elle Tropical Blush) that I am obsessed with. Lipstick is a constant as well.
6. If you could see anyone in concert who would it be and why?
Train! I have seen them already. Best concert I have been to so far. But I have been told that Coldplay live is a pretty life changing experience.
7. What would you say to someone who wanted to start blogging?
Dooooo iiiiittt! What do you have to lose? As long as you have an interest and an aptitude for writing or photography, you will gather some kind of following no matter how small in the beginning. But it does require that you devote a good chunk of time to it.
8. What's the best part about you? (No skipping this question)
My hair. And my sense of humor :)
9. What scares you the most about the future?
Not knowing exactly what I'm going to do. Being a twenty-something right out of college really does terrify me.
10. Where's Waldo? (See 4)
Right next to me.
11. If you could relive one day over again, what day would it be and why?
Thanksgiving this past year. For some reason it was so much different from all of the other ones before.

11 Questions by Me
1. What is your favorite movie?
2. How would you categorize your blog?
3. Mint or cinnamon gum?
4. What is one place you would love to travel to in the world?
5. What is one bad habit you would like to try to get rid of?
6. Who is your favorite fashion designer?
7. What is your favorite blog to read?
8. What do you drink for breakfast? Coffee? Orange juice?
9. Who inspires you most?
