We Are Young So Let's Set The World On Fire

Feb 2, 2012

Hello everyone! It's Thursday! That means, it's almost the weekend, and that means rest! Hooray! Oh man, after such a crazy week, I'll looking forward to that for sure. I'm kind of, no wait, I'm desperately in need of a little retail therapy. We'll see.

Anyways, I've been basically entrenched, thus leaving me with very little energy to give any kind of thought to looking cute. However, today was the day that I just couldn't take it anymore! Legging, Yoga pants, Hoodies, NIKES!!!!... not that those thing don't have a place, but for me, that place is in my apartment on cleaning days! Today, I had to put something together

So here it is. This is what I decided to wear today. Doesn't this scarf pull it all together? I got this sweater as a gift from a blogging pal in the blogger gift swap (feature tomorrow)! Isn't just gorgeous? It's not actually an eternity scarf, I just hand-sewed the ends together. It was super easy. Anyways, without this scarf this outfit would just be plain ol' stripes with boots!



 It really couldn't have been a more beautiful day. I clearly remember seeing the thermometer in my car reading at 70 degrees! In February!! Crazy I tell ya!
 Literally not a single clound in the whole sky. These pictures were taken out behind the back parking lot at Jessup. Our campus sits on lots of open feilds, so there are a lot of great places to take pictures.



Also: don't forget to stop by the shop, as I have added a few things! i'll be adding stuff tomorrow too, so keep your eyes peeled!! Just click on the picture to take you there!
Well everyone! thats about it for me today! I have worship practice in like... one second, then, I'm gonna get some coffee with my dearest of dears, Rachel, then recording! Oh life you never take a break! See you soon.

If I live far away from Freestyle, where do I look for vintage?

Jan 27, 2012

Hello everyone! TGIF right? Man, what a crazy week! Today I made the concerted decision not to get cute. I mean, I don't look like a wreck, but I certainly don't look blogworthy. BUT instead of just ignoring the blogosphere, I decided to share with you some of the Etsy shops that I just can't get enough of.

Let me first say this: When it comes to Vintage, I mostly just go to Freestyle. The store in Downtown Sacramento has  the best Vintage, and the prices are really super good. Vintage can be kinda pricy, and the downtown Freestyle the number one place to go... but what if you live really far away, and get there? No worried Vintage hunter friends! Here are some shops that I make sure I visit atleast once a week!

Brainstorm Vintage
This shop is the number 1 go to for rare vintage dooneys, and you know how I feel about a good Dooney bag. Here are few examples of what I'm talking about
Spring Fever Vintage:
The girls that run this shop are super duper cute, and so are the things in their shop. I would wear this dress every freaking day!
Little Raisin Vintage:
If you're looking for really fun and colorful vintage, look no furthder. PLUS look at these awesome shoes!

Trashy Vintage:
This little halter is anything but trashy!

Well everyone! Be sure to click on the links which are the titles of the store and take a look for yourself. Like Levar Burton on Reading Rainbow, these are all cute stores, but don't take my word for it!! See you soon!!

Good habits are worth being fanatical about

It's that time again everyone. School. And you know what that means: Starbucks. All the time. But let me tell you why, before all you coffee snobs cyber punch me in the face. If it were up to me, I would just brew my own and bring it to school and use the internet there. However, the internet at school is awful and the server doesn't support blogger...or just about any site other than Jessup related sites, so down the street I go. ANYWAYS... school is back in, and I am facing my very last semester. Thats right folks, I'm graduating in May. Adulthood is looming.

ANYWAYS! I no longer am required to go to chapel (thanks old catelogue!), so while everyone is being a good person and worshiping the Lord, I was being vain and taking gratuitous pictures of myself for this blog. And while I know things are about to get super duper busy, I'm gonna take advantage of all this freetime I have.

Well, this is what I decided to wear today. This little trench is so sweet and cutesy, that I can feel myself getting cavities. I love it so much. And even though it's super cold (it's finally winter!), I'm really glad it's kind of light, because that means I can wear it all year long. How cute would this be on an over cast beachy chilly morning over a little dress? I'm in love.
 If you weren't able to tell based on the background of the first picture, the buildings on the inside of Jessu are really beautiful and vibrant colors. I knew exactly where I was going when I was thinking about taking pictures. I've actually taken pictures out here before for this post in front of the yellow dorm.



 I thought my alarm was going to go off plenty early for me to get my 8am class. Well...I was wrong, so I had absolutely no time to do my hair or makeup... so glasses and hats it is!
 How incredible are the print, buttons, and color of this dress? This dress is currently part the pink tag stuff at Freestyle, if you live in Citrus Heights or Sacramento, get yourself over there so you can get one before they all run out!

 How Precious is this classic little coach buddy? When I saw this hanging in Freestyle, I knew it had to be mine. The condition is so beautiful, it looks like no one had ever carried it.
Because it's pretty deep for it's size, it's like this beautiful little leather box. It perfectly fits everything I need to survive
 Keys, Phone, Wallet, Sunglasses, lipgloss, and even my camera squeezes in there! Perfection.

Well everyone, thats about it for me today. Before I go, please take the time to read this article put out by Google. https://www.google.com/landing/takeaction/. If you noticed, the google homepage has a censor bar over it. This is because there are two bills being passed around in Washington that are encouraging internet censorship. It will essentially end all creative internet ventures for people like you and me. It's very political and is being funded by special interest groups that dont care at all about the little guy. Please please please do some research on this bill. It is bad news, and it is un-American. If any one of these bills ends up passing, I will not be seeing you soon.
