Today is weird.  Yesterday it was 29 degrees and snowing hard.  Today it is 48 degrees and sunny.  I'm confused. I realize it is Ohio, and not just Ohio but Cleveland, but still.  I feel like the weather could be a little more consistent.  Oh well, can't complain too much because it's sunny now!  Supposedly it's going to be sunny tomorrow as well but we'll see, anything can happen!



Picked up Domino: The Book of Decorating from the library today.  It is AMAZING!  I can't believe it took me this long to check it out.  I feel so inspired now.  Unfortunately I am on campus until May 7th so it's a little difficult to do things up here.  Still I can plan!  And go thrifting (which I am dying to do, garage sales where are you?)!  I can't wait to get my apartment and decorate it.  I'm not sure if I'll be able to hang anything but either way I'll find a way to make it look nice! :) Now I can finally put all of the photos of beautiful interiors I've been saving to some use!

Today I love the..

School is getting busy.  I'm tired of this semester.  I am starting to get excited about having an apartment next year.  I've been collecting odds and ends here and there.  I believe I know which building I'll be living in, I just have to wait until June before they'll know their availability.

My Socialite Dress Pattern by Anna Maria came yesterday!  I have been wanting to make this dress since seeing pictures of it months ago here.  When she announced it was going to be a pattern I was so excited! This is just a test run with some clearance fabric.  I rushed through it a bit, I was just so excited! Wearable, but a test run for a reason ;) Considering it is my first article of clothing ever made, I'm happy! Now all I have left to finish is possibly making a belt for it! :)


Go buy this pattern! --> Here!





Will take better photos soon.  It's snowing here today, yuck!

Good things about today:
- Watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, for a class
- Made a few charms out of seashells for necklaces
- Found a cool notepad mousepad
- Finally went through all of my photos that needed sorted
- Organic Pumpkin Seeds

Sunny

I'm glad it's sunny today.  It would be more enjoyable if it wasn't 38 degrees, but I'll take what I can get.  I did get a package in the mail today though, which makes for much happiness!  My NARS blush from Sephora arrived.  I'm very excited about it.  I never buy expensive makeup but have had a really hard time finding blush that I like.  Finally I decided to take the plunge, this is supposedly the blush that works on everyone, so we'll see how I like it.  It's pretty!



Yum.

I had lunch today with Rachel, Gabi, and Cal (my high school Student Council Advisor).  It was really nice.  It was weird being back at the high school though.  I feel too short to be a college sophomore.  I look pretty much the same as I did back then!  Haha.  Oh well.  All in all it was a nice lunch and it was good to see Rach.  I also got all my errands run this morning before lunch, so I'm on my way to a productive day.  

This is my outfit today, I got brave and did Wardrobe Remix.  



And just for fun, Mike & I at the Cavs game on February 22nd:

Guess Not

Tuesday, March 10, 2009

Every time I start a new blog I tell myself that it will be the one to stick.  I think to myself, I'll update like.. everyday and it will be excellent!  Guess not.  School definitely got in the way.  Now that midterms are over and I am on spring break, I guess we'll try again!

Spring break has been surprisingly productive so far, especially since it's only Tuesday.  I still have a lot more that I would like to get accomplished by Sunday but I think things are going pretty well so far. Some highlights thus far:

From the week before but still a very noteworthy highlight, my custom purse from Deyitta over at Etsy. It is just as I had envisioned it.  She was so accommodating with me, it was a great experience.  And the bag is just beautiful.



I managed to find time to make around twelve new Blythe dresses last week and was able to list them a few days ago.  I am happy to have already sold two, so hopefully I can sell a few more before break is over.  I also listed fifteen pairs of shoes on Ebay today, so that should bring some shopping money in :)


One of my major goals of this break is to catch up on going through photos.  I take a lot of photos and then procrastinate on going through them and then uploading them to Flickr. I managed to make a tiny dent in that goal this afternoon.  Definitely have a lot more work to do.  Here is a sample of those photos, a photo of Bobbie kitty:


Managed to find time to shop a little yesterday.  Picked up these rad heels that I was eyeing this past fall.  I really wanted them in brown, but I'm lucky they had my size at all since they are from the Fall.  Old Navy for only $7:


Finally, the biggest highlight of break is the arrival of THE shoes.  The shoes that are replacing my favorite pair from Old Navy that I have worn into the ground.  I discovered these super cute vintage Sam & Libby flats.  I have been stalking Ebay for months waiting for them in black in my size.  Finally someone listed them and I snatched them up for $20 including shipping.  I am in love:


The End.
