Reduce, Reuse, Recyle

Today, I underwent a revelation. After opening my closet and having several pieces fall out (all with price tags on them), I released how much stuff I accumulate without even releasing it. How much easier, and less expensive, it would be if we simply utilized the pieces we had without going shopping every time we felt stumped. While I probably won't be able to resist shopping for long, I'm hoping this new revelation will make me think twice before begging my mom to go to the store.

The Met Ball. I'm not exactly sure what it's for (I truly need to find out) however, the sensational dresses showcased cannot be denied their place in true glamour. All the stops seem to be pulled out for this night and I'm certainly glad they are because the time between spring and fall fashion weeks are too long for me to bear. (My favorites would have to be Blake Lively and Diane Kruger.)

I'm strange in many aspects, including, but not limited to: enjoying rainy days, singing under my breath during classes, and watching movies again directly after they've played if they're good enough. Included in my weird traits is the fact that I actually enjoy packing for trips(only if traveling by airplane though). I love picking out what I'm going to wear for each day and making detailed lists I can check off as I go along. However, no matter how much I enjoy it, trips to the airport can be stressful at best and whenever I find something that makes the journey easier I make sure to snatch it up. Whether that includes beyond comfortable shoes for the quick dash to catch a plane, or adorable headphones for passing time, any of these items would be sure to make me excited for the long day ahead.

Wedding Mania

Well the wait is finally over. Has anyone else been counting the days until the Royal Wedding? I know of course I have and that every time I did think of it, there was only one on my mind: the dress. This morning I woke up extremely early to watch it to make sure I didn't miss a single morsel of British elegance. I was not disappointed.

As I've mentioned before, I have a very minimalist wardrobe and usually I'm perfectly content with that fact, however, I chose to mix things up today and chose to mix up my two patterned pieces and I couldn't be happier with the result. I know some are reluctant but I've definitely signed on board to the mixing patterns train. (What could be better than getting double use out of your clothes?)

Another Easter's come and gone and with it the knowledge I get every year that reminds me why I love this holiday. I often forget how wonderful it can be; with all the hype other holidays receive it can be hard to remember what makes this one special. Whatever your religion it's still an excuse to spend time with your family, hunt for Easter eggs, create beautiful baskets, and find random Easter bunnies to hug (I admit to this one). One of my favorite parts of this day is the cute little things that come along with it.


My outfit for our annual Easter party.


Chocolate Easter bunnies!


Some of the many Essie nail polishes I received in my gift basket.


Peeps on a stick!
