Today's Outfit: Zeus
2.23.12
This is obviously not today’s actual outfit. Ben and I went to Zeus last weekend and these are our outfits! For those of you who don’t know what Zeus is, count your blessings and think of it as a fancy dress up prison event.
Today is for homework and later class. I still haven’t found my book for tonight. (the class is Part II, but I didn’t know I had to take...

Today's Outfit: Wonderful Wednesday
2.22.12
Helllloooooooo! I had a lot of fun today. I finally got to see Becca after A WHOLE WEEK apart. Let me tell you, that was no fun. I guess that means I am packing up my bags and following them wherever they go. :) I had the opportunity to shoot in one of my favorite buildings today for the first time!! Literally, I almost could not stand how happy I was..I was that happy. Maybe I will share...

"Sunday" Spotlight
2.20.12
For this week’s Sunday Spotlight, I stopped by John White, Ltd—one of my all time favorite places!! This store is also one of my parent’s favorite stores. They really have stuff for everybody! They have great clothes for women and men. And for you men out there looking to rent a tux—this is THE place to go!! I enjoyed talking to both Janet and John White about the...

My Week in Photos: Week Six
2.18.12
Hello!! I probably should have gone to bed forever ago, but I was determined to finish this and finish scanning old photos. :) I hope you all have had excellent weeks. Mine has been busy but good. I only have one more day of freedom before my Spring Trimester starts. I am kinda dreading it. I wish I could just live a life of a 24 hour viewing of The Office. Sadly, I cannot…
Today's Outfit: Spring is on the way!
2.17.12
Oh man. What a week (and a half) this has been. I’ve really enjoyed this time between trimesters, though. I am really dreading starting my new classes. :(
Today is for putting the finishing touches on my Zeus outfits. I am still wrestling with the camera question. I can’t decide if I am going to take it to both events, one event, or none event. I also can’t decide if i...

I'm new to the Hattiesburg area (so your Sunday Spotlights have been a delight!!), and I was wondering if could could share come of the best antique and thrift stores in town? I've only been to the Calico Mall downtown, and it was great! But I'd love...

Today's Outfit: Wednesday Safari

Are you guys recovering from all that candy?? I took 1+ accidental naps today…so I didn’t really get *that* much done. Well…all I got done was babysitting. Zero other things were accomplished today :(
Speaking of those things to do….I guess I should get to it! Talk to you soon, lovebirds!

Today's Outfit: Valentine's Day!
2.14.12
Happy Valentine’s Day! This post is late because I spent the day being a busy little beaver!! I had a great time at The Back Door Cafe with Becca this evening! The food was amazing as usual (and the company wasn’t so bad either!) In other news, my new lens came in today!! I don’t know if I’ve ever loved a possession more! I can’t wait to really get the hang...

Today's Outfit: Library Card
2.13.12
Hello all! How are you doing? I dedicated this last weekend to myself. haha and I had a blast! I finished TWO scarves (and since I haven’t finished a WIP in about 6 months, that’s very productive!), I organized my closets, I updated my bookshelves, and I wash every single thing I own! It was awesome. Oh I also finished two other craft projects. I still have one left, but I...

Today's Outfit: Hardy Gras

Hello! Are any of you guys going to the Parade on Hardy Street today? I am so excited for Hattiesburg’s first Mardi Gras parade! I have been running errands all day. I stopped by Economy Supply to get help with a craft project (where I picked up the name of my outfit…). I am so excited to get started on that project! I also worked on some Valentine’s Gifts!! I have a lot...

Today's Outfit: Giving Orange a Try!
2.7.12
I’ve never been a big fan of the color orange, but lately I’ve been trying to ease myself into it since it’s such a big color right now. I think this lipstick looks much more orange in person, although Jennifer says it’s “coral.”
I am finished with finals! I don’t really feel that excited about it, just because I’ve got a good bit on my...

My Week in Photos: Week Four
2.4.12
As you read this, I am in class. :( Saturday class is just no fun at all. I hope it goes by faster than I am anticipating. As I was making this last night (sorry for the shoddy job this week) I was noticing that all my pictures were basically puppies, nails, and food. So that’s my week, I guess. Not too shabby.
neutralize replied to your post: Today’s Outfit: TGI-Foxtop
Those are the only classy ass Mardi Gras nails I’ve ever seen. They look soooo gooood, and I hate themed things. KILLIN’ ‘EM
I am going to disregard that amazing compliment to say…we aren’t friends anymore. I LOVE THEMED THINGS! I can’t wait to see what you think of my new Mardi Gras nails…

WHOA! It’s Friday! If I didn’t have class all day tomorrow, I would probably be more excited about it. I actually need to be working on some homework for that class. :(
Are you guys getting excited for Mardi Gras/Zeus? I am. Basically I just love anything themed. If you give me a reason to paint my nails with special colors, I’ll get on board. I already have my...

Today's Outfit: Ode to Eppie
2.2.12
My first post of February! WOOHOO! 12 days until my romantic date with Bhud. haha. What do you guys think of my new Poodle Necklace? Eppie doesn’t really look that much like a poodle, but she is! She looks more like a teddy bear to me. Also this sweatshirt is flawless. I love it so very much! It is just a great piece to throw on and go.
Oh man. I just saw the clock. I have to leave...

Today's Outfit: Fox Top, Revisited

Hello! How is your Friday going? Mine has been pretty great! I spent most of it in New Orleans with Becca. She hijacked my twitter/instagram for a while there so I hoped you all enjoyed that.
I am really in love with this top. I think it is going to be a really versatile piece for me. I also really love these flowers! Heidi from Southbound/Skylight Lounge let me borrow them! Aren’t...

Ok I only have a minute to chat! I have a good deal to get done before night class tonight. I was very un-productive this weekend. I literally did no school work, but I think it was good for me. I had a lot of fun seeing people I don’t get to see very often and I didn’t even feel *that* guilty about not working on stuff. (which is very unusual for me)
Today, I was clearly...

Sorry I didn’t have a post for you yesterday! I spent the day at Boswell, which was actually really fun and interesting. I enjoyed the interactions, but I also enjoyed learning about manufacturing! How random! I had no idea I would learn so much about things that aren’t related the psychology.

Lately, I’ve been finding the coolest family documents. Last night while I was searching for a book in my parent’s bookshelf I found an album of really old family history. I learned that my great grandmother was a woman with “an infectious giggle and unique way of expressing herself” I also found her husband’s (my great grandfather’s) honorable...
Today's Outfit: Unifrom, Revisited
1.18.12
I usually don’t show you guys what I wear to the nursing home (because it’s usually pretty tragic), but today’s ensemble wasn’t that bad. We just have to wear pants and a collared shirt. I guess that’s fairly lenient, but because I usually get pretty dirty I wear things I don’t mind messing up. I thought about doing posts centered around making a uniform work for you, but instead...

So I took these pictures with the tripod. I’ll never get better with the tripod, because I never use it when I don’t have to! I guess I need to make myself practice with it, but I just get so frustrated! Anyway, that’s why these pictures stink and also why my clothes are so wrinkly. I was running back and forth!! Haha I am sure people driving by enjoyed my show. At least...

So the name of this outfit is probably more wishful thinking. There’s something very little girl about this outfit…almost like it’s a child’s uniform. But, you know, I really like this. OH OH OH!
