Best of 2013: Music

Music has always been a passion of mine and I genuinely enjoy all kinds of music (except like heavy metal scream...I'll never understand that). I'm constantly looking for new music/artists/bands and I've definitely come across some amazing artists this year. Here are 5 of my favorite songs from this year, take a listen if you haven't heard before and let me know what you think! 

1. After performing at my school's homecoming concert, I'm BEYOND obsessed with Hoodie Allen. Beyond. His music is fun, catchy, and the acoustic versions are heart melting. I'm also a big fan of him personally, he seems like he's down to earth and very grateful for all his fans. He tweets links to download his music for free too, which I think is amazing. It was hard for me to pick a favorite song but I think this is the one that could convert anyone into a Hoodie fan. 


2. I've been a Summer Set fan for a long time now and I was lucky enough to see them in concert on Halloween this year! I absolutely died when I met the lead singer, Brian, after the show. He's adorable and has the voice of an angel. I can never get this song stuck out of my head so beware - very addicting. 


3. Here's another artist that I was lucky enough to see in concert and meet this year! He's a friend of a friend in Nashville so my roommate and I got to hang with Jon and the band on their tour bus before the show, so cool! So excited his new album is coming out on January 14th (also my birthday!). He's more well known for his single Up All Night but I like this one better. 


4. I've recently discovered Lana and I worship her now. She's sassy and her songs are almost hypnotic, I'm just obsessed. This one's my favorite, although this entire album is perfection. 


5. I don't care what anyone says, I have loved and will always love Blurred Lines. Some lyrics are meant to be taken literally and some aren't. It's simply a fun song and critics went overboard analyzing it. Okay, rant over. How can you not enjoy the three hotties singing it either? Just makes me want to dance! Give It 2 U is also pure gold. #THICKE 


Honorable mentions: 
  • 23 - Mike Will Made-It (feat. Miley, Wiz, Juicy J)
  • This is How We Roll - Florida Georgia Line (feat. Luke Bryan)
  • Swoon - Timeflies
  • Best Day Ever - One Direction 
  • I Love It - Icona Pop 


Anyone else a fan of these songs or artists? If not, I hope you are now!

Best of 2013: Clothes

It's so hard to believe 2013 is almost over! I've been reminiscing on the past year a lot lately and honestly, 2013 treated me pretty well. There's always ups and downs but this has definitely been one of the best years form me thus far! It's so weird to think next year I'll be halfway done with my first year of law school and living in unknown city (as of now). So many changes! Since clothes are one of my biggest passions (I would argue that shopping is a hobby, maybe even a sport) I decided to compile a list of all my favorite clothes I've gotten within the past year.

1. The first item is SO easy. My roommates and I call this dandy "the magic sweater." I have never been so obsessed with an item of clothing like this sweater. I own three out of the four colors, only because I haven't been able to find the fourth color in my size. On the hanger it looks pretty ordinary but I picked it up because it was so incredibly soft. The second I tried it on, I was sold. It's THE perfect oversized sweater and surprisingly so flattering on. It's long enough to wear with leggings (love) so that's what I pair it with as well as a scarf and riding or combat boots. Seriously the easiest outfit to throw together, I probably wear that combo at least twice a week. I buy my sweaters from a store in Minnesota called Len but I found it online and that's actually less expensive too. I have the black, grey, and navy ones! If you're in need a sweater, I would highly recommend this one. I believe Nordy's also sells this brand but I couldn't find the exact sweater on their website.

2. I'm a pretty avid riding boot fan but I invested in these babies this fall and could not be happier with them. I feel like the combat boot trend kind of hit last year but every single shoe store and department store started carrying them this year. I found it difficult to find a pair that was different than the one (Steven Madden) pair I saw literally everyone wearing. Finally I found this pair at Aldo and fell in love with the dark burgundy color. I wear a lot of black and grey so I thought these would be a nice pop of color for my wardrobe. I loved this pair from Aldo as well but I already have a few pairs of boots in that color. I've had a lot of fun incorporating these combat boots into my wardrobe!


3. Every girl needs a little black dress and I stumbled upon this classic at Nordstrom Rack. I've always been a fan of Diane von Furstenberg but this was my first DVF purchase! Her clothes are absolutely beautiful and so well made, which usually means they're out of my price range. I certainly wasn't looking for a LBD but it was so gorgeous and I knew this style of dress would look great on. This is why I generally don't try something on if it's out of my price range because I guarantee, it will ALWAYS look amazing. Definitely was an investment to say the least but it was worth the splurge and because it's such a classic, I know I'll have it for a long time.


4. I've never been much of a watch person but that has certainly changed this year. Another steal from Nordstrom Rack, I wear this Kate Spade watch everyday now. I actually wear more gold jewelry than silver, I think gold is making comeback :) I like pairing it with other bracelets and it's pretty much an essential to my wardrobe now. A black Kate Spade watch is next on my list! Please and thanks Santa.


5. This one is easy too. I really hate jeans, HATE them. They're terribly uncomfortable. I do think leggings are pants (as long as your butt is covered) and I wear leggings wayyy more than I wear jeans...until now. These are the softest pair of jeans I've ever worn and if I didn't know better, I would think they were pajama jeans. Super flattering on too so that's just another plus! I got this pair of Hudson's at a boutique in my hometown and I don't think I'll ever be able to wear a different pair of jeans again. Since I don't wear jeans that often, it's hard for me to justify paying $189 per pair (mine were 50% off at the boutique). Nordstrom Rack and Off Saks Fifth Avenue are usually my go to for designer jeans and they do carry Hudson's but I've yet to find a pair as soft as mine. Hopefully if I keep looking, I'll find another pair!

Side note: I also recently discovered AG Jeans and they are wonderful. I got this pair from (surprise, surprise) Nordstrom Rack, didn't realize how obsessed with that store I was! The olive color looks great with all my black/grey/cream tops. The material is a stretch sateen so they're soft, almost velvety, and unbelievable comfortable. Didn't realize comfort was such a stable for me either! I'd definitely recommend trying Hudson or AG for denim if you're looking for a new brand.

That pretty much sums up my favorites from 2013! I guess these are all more fall and winter clothes but it's hard to even remember wearing summer clothes right now! I am looking forward to Spring Break when I can break out my Lilly, colored denim, whites, and Jacks though :)

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays.

Back in black

In retrospect, 2013 wasn't exactly my best year in terms of blogging. A whopping five posts is less than overwhelming...BUT I am entering the New Year with a new frame of mind and new resolution to get back into the blogging world! I was recently inspired by the show Courtney Loves Dallas. If you don't know (but you should, she's fantastic) is centered around Courtney Kerr, a Dallas socialite, fashionista, and blogger! The show really reminded me how much I do enjoy blogging and how great of an outlet it can be.

Anyhoo, here's what I've been up to the past couple months. I've been studying my life away for the LSAT and yes, it's just as horrible as it sounds. I took a class over the summer, took both the October and December LSAT, and now I'm just waiting to get my score back so I can start applying to law schools! It's a terribly frightening and exciting time, most especially because I have no idea where I want to go to school. I literally can't even tell you what region of the U.S. It's that bad. I can see myself on the West Coast soaking up the California sun, on the East Coast enjoying the magical city of NYC, down South fulfilling my ambitions of becoming a Southern belle, or maybe staying in Minneapolis with all the amazing friends I've made these past three years. I just don't know what to do! More on that later...Other than that, I've moved into a brand new apartment with three of my best friends and it's been the best experience I could have asked for. These girls are my family and I literally don't know how I would survive without their love, support, and happiness they bring into my life. I'm almost 22 now and I'm at the point where most of my friends are in serious relationships and a few are engaged already. Obviously, I'm still living the single life but what's new? Just as I have a knack for randomly picking out the most expensive item in a store, I also have a knack for picking the douchiest of men. It's really making me question my life decisions because my best friend is planning her summer wedding and I'm at school trying to convince my friends to go to the bar with me because "Tuesdays are the new Saturdays!" Seriously though...they are, I love Tuesdays. Whatever, I'll find my Chuck Bass eventually (pray for me).

Well, that's enough about me! Blogging on the reg is one of my many New Years resolutions and I'm actually too excited about it. Does anyone else already have their resolutions picked out? You'll hear more from me soon :)

Spring awakening

Has it really been JANUARY since my last post?! Honestly, I don't know where the time goes these days. In a couple weeks, I'll be done with my junior year at the University of Minnesota - how crazy! I don't think I'm ready for senior year, the thought of graduating is absolutely terrifying. So not ready to leave college but it's a good thing I'm going to law school so I'll have another 3 years to avoid the real world. Anyway, after what feels like an eternity spring has finally decided to hit Minnesota! Mind you we had snow on Monday...but the forecasts show the warmish weather is here to stay and I couldn't be more thrilled! Summer actually can't get here soon enough. I thought I would post a list of all my spring essentials.

1) Self tanner! I'm so over the winter whiteness of my skin and this lotion makes you look like you just vacationed in some tropical paradise. It is by far the best I've ever tried! It comes out dark so you can see where you've already applied it and it lasts a while! Also smells pretty good :)
2) Sperrys. It's definitely Sperry season by now but I've been wearing mine since mid March - oops! I've never been happier to put away my Uggs and riding boots. Just picked up this pair from Nordstrom and I'm anxiously waiting to break them in :)
3) Jacks! I'm preparing for summer a little early by getting a new pair of Jack Rogers right now. I got this pair from Last Call by Neiman Marcus 30% off! The sale is still going on so if you click on the link it'll take you right to the website!
3) LILLY. This is an obvious one but it's finally season appropriate (in Minnesota) to wear Lilly, yay! I got the most amazing Lilly dress that I'm wearing for formal and I couldn't be more thrilled about it. 

4) Colored jeans. Just like last year, I'm still equally obsessed with all of my neon and pastel colored jeans. 

5) Lighter hair! This mostly applies to ladies who color their hair (I love dying mine) but with the summer months quickly approaching I had my stylist add a bunch of highlights in my hair and I've never been happier with how my hair looks. I tend to keep it a chestnut or dark brown during the fall and winter but I'm loving how light it is right now. Who knows, maybe I'll be blonde soon? ;)

6) A good pedicure. This is something every girl needs to treat herself too before summer comes! Pretty toes are an essential since I'm going to be breaking out sandals and wedges soon. Plus who doesn't like getting pampered?

Even writing this is getting me so excited for the upcoming spring and summer months! I hope you all are as excited as I am :)

Spirit jersey obsession

One of my latest obsessions within the past month or so has been spirit jerseys! I've seen them all over Pinterest and I know they're booming in the South right now but the trend hasn't quite hit up here yet. It's coming though! Just slowly...Anyway, I'm purchasing coordinator for my sorority so when a friend on campus contacted me about ordering the jerseys, I was totally on board! I got great feedback from the chapter and I finally worked out all the details so these babies should be arriving in 2 - 3 weeks! I couldn't be more excited to get them! They're everything I want in a shirt: oversized, comfy, and super cute. Not to mention, think of all the great picture opportunities these present :) haha any other sorority girls out there have a spirit jersey? And do you love them?!




That's all for now! Back to studying for me...

OHP Wednesday: MEME EDITION

It's everyone's favorite time of the week, Oh How Pinteresting Wednesday with Michelle at The Vintage Apple! Go link up! I decided to dedicate this week's pins to my favorite movie and TV memes! Seriously, these never fail to put me in a good mood and it seems like there is a meme for anything these days. Hope you like them as much as I do :)

Haha I can just hear it... 

Still so obsessed with this movie 

BEYOND excited for the return of Vampire Diaries #TeamDamon

Haha one of my favorites

Me, every single morning 

Probably my favorite movie character of all time 

 Hate to admit I love this show...and Si 

Had to end with this classic! 

Happy Wednesday!

Birthday girl!

The big day is finally here! Well, technically, I turn 21 in one hour! It's life changing, I know. One of the best things about birthdays is you can wear any ridiculous outfit and it's totally excusable because it's your birthday (21st birthdays especially)! Now I'm not one to look any sort of ridiculous except ridiculously good BUT I think I've picked out a pretty good outfit for my 21st. Keep in mind, I will be celebrating at home, in a small town, so while this look would be quite tame/nothing special for downtown Minneapolis, I can guarantee I will be the most overdressed person anywhere tomorrow night. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Because it's my birthday :)

Birthday girlllll

Haha I tried my best to get exactly what I'm wearing in the Polyvore set, starting with my most favorite Juicy Couture silk dress. The picture does not do this lovely dress justice, there is so much detailing on the bodice that you can't see and the skirt is a little more flouncy. Anyway, I'm pairing it with this great black and white chevron blazer, which I couldn't find on Polyvore so this is a similar style just imagine it's chevron. I'll definitely be wearing my platform black heels, a simple necklace, pearl earrings, and some sort of large, cocktail ring. I'm all about the statement jewelry so most of my outfits include either a statement necklace or a statement ring, never both. I usually keep my earrings pretty simple! I included the clutch because I thought it was cute and looked good with the outfit. I will welcome this birthday with much more excitement than my last birthday - I was pretty upset that I was halfway to 40. I can't wait to celebrate with my family tomorrow night and all of my sorority sisters and friends at school once we're back from break! In the end, it's just another day but an important day nonetheless. Cheers to a new year and a new beginning!

Crazy for chambray

Hey loves!

Hope everyone had a great new year and happy holidays! I know I'm excited for 2013, most especially because I'll be turning 21 on Monday! Woo! Haha anyways...my mom and I usually do a weekend shopping trip for my birthday but this year we decided to do a fun little day trip down to Milwaukee. We discovered a HUGE Anthropologie store, which I'm so in love with it's insane. Seriously if I could live in that store, I totally would. It was here where I found the most amazing chambray shirt ever. For quite a while now, I've been wanting one because it's a quintessential piece in every prep's wardrobe. However, finding the perfect chambray shirt has not been the easiest task. Most that I've tried on have not looked very attractive on me, I don't know what it is but they're too stiff and just don't fit in the right places. I look like I'm wearing a men's shirt, it's been a very depressing hunt for one of these haha BUT the Cloth and Stone shirt I found at Anthropologie was sheer perfection. For one, it's chambray with polka dots, I couldn't dream up a better combination. And second, the material is so soft and a lot more relaxed than normal chambray shirts so it looked great on! Here's a pic, I love that the polka dots are smaller and a little more subtle as compared to the Gap one below that I tried on last week. Excuse my poor photography skills but this shirt isn't on the Anthro website.



Don't get me wrong, I'm obsessed with this Gap chambray shirt. I would've bought it if I didn't look so terrible in it but there's something about the more subdued polka dots that I like so much more. Another random note, Gap has some amazing spring clothes out right now so if you haven't been in there for a while go check it out! There are these amazing navy ankle pants with little anchors all over them that I'm in love with. Needless to say, I'm beyond excited to wear my new chambray shirt, especially with all my colored and white jeans in the summer! Other quality purchases from the shopping trip were from Lululemon and J. Crew! I'm thrilled about the hot pink toothpick jeans I got from J. Crew for $16! So insane!

Also, what did everyone get from the Lilly sale?! This is the dress I got :)


SO glad to be blogging again, happy shopping ladies!

It's the most craftiest time of the year...

With the holidays quickly approaching, it's time to start figuring out what gifts I'm going to give everyone this year. As much as I love shopping for myself (and that's a lot) it's so much more rewarding to surprise friends and family with that perfect gift! However, doing that on a college student budget is not the easiest of tasks. Lately, I've been spending a lot of my time thinking of great crafts I can make for people instead of buying something. It not only saves me a ton of money but it's fun to do and it allows me to personalize the gifts! I'm still searching for ideas on Pinterest and Etsy but these are a couple crafts that I've done lately.

I made these chevron wooden letters for my little as an early Christmas present! 

 I also learned how to make bows recently so I've been making a ton for myself but they're great little gifts to add on to presents

 This was an early Christmas present from my best friend! I love the monogram and my favorite Lilly print in the middle 

Anyone else doing any homemade gifts for the holidays?

A quick hello and today's steals!

Hello loves!

Wow seriously how long has it been since my last post?! This semester is just flying by, I can't believe it's almost winter break (and my birthday!). I really miss the blogging world and I'm definitely going to try and make this blog more of a priority starting now! With finals week approaching, I don't feel nearly as prepared as I should for my exams but hopefully it'll be a productive week :) In more exciting news, my sorority's initiation week was absolutely amazing and I got another little! She's absolutely adorable and we are two peas in pod so I couldn't be happier. We are both avid country fans and are attending the CMT Jake Owen, Love and Theft, and Florida Georgia Line concert this Thursday in Minneapolis! SO beyond thrilled to throw on my cowboy boots and see all those sexy men perform live. I'm anticipating it will be an amazing concert and I'll definitely let you guys know how it went on Friday.

Now, I love bargains just as much as the next shopaholic but today I got some incredible (and unexpected) deals from the one and only Ann Taylor! I consider myself kind of an expert in finding great clothes for affordable prices. I would much rather catch an Ann Taylor/J. Crew sale than buy things for the same price at Forever 21. Not trying to knock Forever 21, I do like to buy certain things there but for me, quality always comes before quantity. My first rule of thumb for finding good deals is to shop in stores, working retail has taught me that the actual stores ALWAYS have better deals than the websites do. Case in point, I bought a dress from Banana Republic this summer for $12 in store while it was still "on sale" online for $70. Craziness I know and I see it happen all the time. Anyway, today Ann Taylor had 25% off their sale items so these are the dandies I picked up!

This blouse is actually navy blue with the coral and white details, not black, which gives it a much more preppy/nautical look! Totally my style so obviously I had to get this at a mere $11. 

This adorable sweater is going to go with some Banana Republic burgundy cigarette pants for Christmas :) unfortunately, you can't see the back detail but there's a bow tie at the top and the whole back is sheer - love! This again was only $11. 

My last sale purchase was this burgundy top (can you tell I'm obsessed with this color?) which is a great causal top for me to wear to class! I seriously wear these kind of oversized, comfy tops to class everyday and how could I not buy it for $7?!

I couldn't resist putting up some of Ann Taylor's new arrivals as well. They're featuring this mint color, which is my absolute favorite color of all time. I couldn't justify buying any of it though because 1.) my budget would not allow this and 2.) I don't think it's a very season appropriate color (especially the pants) I just wouldn't feel right wearing pastel before Spring came! Call me crazy but it's almost as bad as wearing white this time of year...almost...


Anyone else finding any awesome deals lately? Let me know what you think about mine!

Oh, it's good to be back :) xoxo,

OHP Wednesday

I haven't done a Oh, How Pinteresting Wednesday in forever so I'm thrilled I finally have the time to do one again! Go ahead and link up with Michelle at The Vintage Apple! Unfortunately, I'm not quite the Pinterest addict that I used to be (maybe that's a good thing...) but it is a good way for me to fend off boredom in long lectures! These are my favorite findings for this week, enjoy :)

Seriously though...

 New motto! 

Haha I need to start thinking like this 

So adorable 

If only...

Love love love her hair color 

Good motivation 

:)

 And lastly, some Gangnam Style! 

Hope all of you lovely readers are having a good week!

Lilly loves Repub girls

Now as much as I don't like to bring up controversial topics on my blog, I just have to admit I'm loving this election season! I'm so interested in politics and now that I'm getting older (and wiser) I feel like I can make more informed decisions about the candidates and party I choose to support. Not to mention this is the first presidential election I'm eligible to vote in! Woohoo! Watching the debates and getting closer and closer to election day is absolutely thrilling. I love the fact that even though I can only vote once, I'm still helping decide who will lead this great country the next four years. Now, another thing I love just as much as politics is LILLY! Obviously :) and I don't think it's a coincidence that Lilly came out with a elephant print right as election season started...I've been lusting over these items for a while now and I just need to take the plunge and purchase them already. How cute are they?! The tank is a little worrisome as winter is quickly approaching but paired with a cute cardigan, I'd be good to go!


This has also been the background on my iPhone for quite some time!


I think it's really important for young people (especially my age) to get involved in politics, to learn about the issues, and ultimately cast a vote! There's a great number of us and we have a lot more power to make an impact than we might think we have. This issues are going to be even more relevant to us than they are now once we enter the real world! As much as I hate to admit, this fantasyland I call college won't last forever. Anyhoo, that's my political schpeel for today! 

Anyone else loving the election season like me?!

Flats on flats on flats

Hey lovies! I hope everyone's enjoying their weekend, I've been waiting for what seems like forever for it to finally get here! I'm still extremely stressed and busy with school, my sorority, tennis, and working (not to mention trying to keep up with friends and family!) I feel like I literally never have a free moment and it's still soo overwhelming dealing with everything right now. If anyone has any good tips for relieving stress, that's not time consuming, I would love to get some advice! On a brighter note, one AMAZING thing I did this week was attend an impromptu afternoon concert held by Hunter Hayes! He was in town with Carrie Underwood and did a pre-show performance at a local bar/restaurant. A couple friends and I heard about it on the radio the morning of and decided to skip class and take a little adventure! It was great because it was at noon on a Thursday so it was a very exclusive and private show. I absolutely adore him so seeing him in that intimate of a setting was the best experience ever!

I just love him so much 

Another reason I've been looking forward to this weekend is because my mom, grandma, and aunt came into town yesterday! We spent the day shopping which was exactly what I needed to get my mind off this crazy week. I made some great purchases but I think my favorite was my new Cole Haan ballet flats (dying with excitement inside) from Nordstrom Rack! I've been wanting a nice pair of flats forever and I'm so happy I found a quality pair and got the best deal on them :) I feel like it's the perfect weather for flats right now because it's still a smidge too warm to wear boots, my feet and legs get way too hot! I'm a little obsessed with flats right now which is funny because I used to hate them - I thought they made my feet look big...haha but now I definitely appreciate them and their classiness so much more! Here are some more amazing flats that I'm lusting over, if only I had unlimited funds to buy them! Oh well, it makes getting a really nice part that much more special. The middle, shimmery ones are the ones I bought today :)

Favorite flats
Tory Burch flat heels, $290 / Sam Edelman animal print ballet flat / Vera Wang ballet flat shoes / Kate Spade wedge heel shoes / Cole Haan grey ballet flat / Kate Spade ballet shoes flat

Let me know what you think and enjoy this beautiful weekend!

Let's play catch up

Wow, it's been WAY too long since my last blog post. I've missed the blogging world and I promise I haven't forgotten about all my lovely followers! I've been ridiculously busy with school, recruitment, work, and tennis starting up again this year! I was feeling very overwhelmed at first but everything's starting to settle down now that recruitments over (which went amazingly) I'm so thrilled to get to know all our beautiful new members! Here's a couple pics during bid day and recruitment! These first couple weeks back at school are always the hardest (and most fun!) Still adjusting to my ridic crazy schedule but it's better to be busy than to be bored right? I think so at least :)



Anyway, I was graciously nominated for the Liebster Blog Award by a fellow Midwest Prepster, A. Whitney. Go check out her blog, I love it! Since I've already received the Liebster Blog Award (twice, haha), I don't think I need to do the 11 facts about myself again but here's the links to my previous Liebster posts if you'd still like to see some random facts about moi :) Post 1 and Post 2. Here's my answers to A. Whitney's questions!

1. What is your favorite word? This is interesting, I've never thought about what my favorite word is. Hmm...I'll have to go with "woooo!" If anyone's seen How I Met Your Mother, you'll understand what a woo girl is. Haha it's kind of a running joke between some friends and I, we like to pretend we're woo girls.

2. What is your idea of happiness? For me, happiness is the little things that have the ability to brighten my day. Whether it's a card from my mom, a great conversation with a friend, or a vanilla latte, it's small, random things that make me the happiest.

3. Where is your favorite place to shop? Don't even get me started...Nordstrom is my go to for shoes and purses. I like to buy my clothes from Banana Republic, J. Crew, Gap, and any department store or boutique.

4. What is one thing you want people to remember you for? I want people to remember me for being a kind and generous person. Maybe someone that could brighten their day if they're having a bad one. A lot of people say I'm always poised so that's a good thing to be remembered for too.

5. Rainbow's or Sperry's on a guy? Sperry's...I don't do mandals.

6. Favorite after work/school treat? Lately it's been making the snack size kettle corn! I also love making passion tea to relax with after a long day.

7. What is on the top of your wish list for fall? I reeeeallly need new ballet flats. I'd die for some Tory's but a simple nude pair will suffice as well!

8. Cupcakes or brownies? Brownies, much easier to eat!

9. What quality do you most admire in people? I admire people that have that leader quality about them. There's always times in life when no one wants to take responsibility for anything and I think that when that one person steps up and is a leader, it really can change a lot.

10. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates? I'd like to be welcomed with a glass of champagne and have God say my Grandma is waiting to meet me.

My Questions

1. What's your favorite movie quote?
2. Team Gale or Team Peeta?
3. What's your go to outfit for a night out?
4. Who's your biggest celebrity crush?
5. Who's your biggest inspiration?
6. Mac or PC?
7. Thoughts on 50 Shades of Grey?
8. What has been your biggest accomplishment in life thus far?
9. What's your favorite part about blogging?
10. Favorite food?

And the award goes to...


Love your blogs ladies!

That's all I have for now but I promise a super awesome post will be coming up soon :)

Signature Scents

One of my favorite beauty essentials is perfume. I love love love perfume and finding that perfect scent for myself. I've acquired quite a collection over the years and realized how important it is to find perfume that will actually last you that long. It's definitely not a cheap thing to buy so it's a waste if I only use it for a month then get sick of it - for example, I have full bottles of Paris Hilton and Glow by J. Lo collecting dust at home. Now, I feel like I've finally found a couple signature scents that I absolutely love and know that have the potential to last me late into my twenties. These are all my favorite perfumes and I love them for different reasons. I have all of them minus Daisy by Marc Jacobs but if I had an unlimited budget to spend on perfume, I'd buy it for sure! I have two other favorites that are missing, Lust by Lush Cosmetics and Turquatic by MAC. They're both roll ons that I keep in my make up bag which makes them so easy to bring travelling plus seriously no one has either of these so they're a bit unique :)
