living well is the best revenge.

I recently took some pictures of my friend, Becca, for a project of her’s. I had SO SO SO much fun shooting with her (especially in this location) I’ve actually been dying to take pictures in this building so I was almost falling over myself with happiness when I got the opportunity.

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 of it. 

Did you guys have any interesting plans for Valentine’s Day? I know for some it can be a sad day, so I hope each and every one of you felt loved by someone today. 

P.S. I would LOVE to see some of your Valentine’s Day outfits! Send them to me on my facebook page!

This girl definitely has a bad case of the Monday’s!  I just have so much I’ve got to get done this week!  I am especially unhappy about having to go to the DMV this week, but that just means that my birthday is soon, so I will try to stop complaining. :)  Right now, I am waiting for the girl I’m babysitting to wake up from her nap so we can go play on the swings!  And then tonight I have a statistics test. But the good news is, tomorrow is Glee day and also new shoes day.  (I bought myself a pair of shoes for my birthday month and they should be here tomorrow) Pretty soon I am going to have to stop celebrating my birthday month with things that cost money.  Do you think Starbucks would give me a muffin every morning for my birthday month?

Lately, I’ve been feeling a little confused.  About life in general, but also about this blog. I’ve been having trouble doing it for me and not for other people.  And that only leads to me feeling stressed.  There are not too many curvy fashion bloggers out there, although the field is growing.  I guess I’ve been feeling like I’ll never be able to keep up with the other girls.  I’ve been letting my mind compare my blog to theirs, my fashion to theirs, my body to theirs.  That’s definitely not ok, because I’m me and I don’t need to keep up with anyone.  I think mainly I’ve just felt a little lost. Like I’d lost myself in a sea flooded with fashion bloggers.  This leads me to my Carrie Bradshaw moment today.  I recently lost my “twirl” necklace I got through the Kate Spade sample sale.  I was pretty devastated about it, but this morning, after a night of pondering what the future holds, I was emptying my school tote and saw it lying at the very bottom! It was almost like I was rediscovering what’s so wonderful about my blog as opposed to other blogs.  I love that I am colorful. I love that I am silly.  I love that my favorite necklace says “twirl” on it.  I don’t need to be like anyone else because um Hello! I’m pretty amazing. :) 

Anyways, Carrie Bradshaw moment aside, I do really love this outfit.  So simple for a Sunday Brunch.  Oh, also, today is the first day I’ve ever used a tripod.  So forgive the pictures! I don’t even know how to fasten my camera to the thing so I used a Sharpie to help it keep balance. :)
