Room Wishlist

I decided to change rooms over the summer to the larger guest room. The room was completely empty when I chose to do so. I had a grand vision of what I wanted my room to look like. I knew everything I wanted, where to get it from and exactly how it would fit with the 'theme' of my room. Since school started everybody has been busy and my dream room has come to a halt. Hopefully I will be able to get everything I want/need for my room soon since I plan on decorating my room for the holidays. I thought it would be interesting if I compiled a list of what I wanted for my room!

Wishlist:
Desk- IKEA
Green Throw blanket- IKEA
Black bedding- IKEA
Chair for my desk (White or Black)- IKEA
Whiteboard- You guessed it! IKEA

Now that it's all typed out, I realize that it isn't a lot of things that I want for my room! Hopefully I will be able to get all the things I want by December so I can start the new year with the room of my dreams!

{Current Obsession: Ralph Lauren Striped Shirt}

I recently got a very lovely shirt from Ralph Lauren. I love the classic 'country' feel that Ralph Lauren has! I feel like I should be horseback riding in the mountains on a private estate when I wear anything from them. They happened to be having a sale at the outlet so I ended up getting the shirt for about 25 dollars, which I think is pretty good considering that it's very thick and a name brand at that. The shirt is very simple. a long sleeved shirt with wide horizontal green and white stripes. I like the shade of green they used because it perfectly matches a green crayola marker. My favorite part about the shirt it the purple logo. It's small but adds a nice contrast. Since the shirt is pretty thick, I could only wear it in the fall and winter. I would probably wear it tucked into dark wash jeans with a dark brown or cognac leather belt and some simple boots. If I wanted to be more dressy I would tuck it into a black pencil skirt with tights and boots. I think that this shirt was well worth the money and it will be worn a lot this fall and winter!

Then and Now

Then and Now by forevermac321 featuring platform booties



Why I like it: The colors scream fall. Vibrant yet neutral. The top and blazer are very classy while the jeans and shoes add a relaxed but done up feel. The bag has a vintage look and the purple compliments the yellow perfectly. The shades and accessories once again add a relaxed look which keeps the outfit from being to dressy.

{12:42 AM}

As I begin typing this, it is Sunday, October 16 2011 at 12:42. I have decided to start posting some random posts on here so y'all don't get too bored. Well Tonight I decided to skip homecoming and I'm completely regretting it. Oh well, there's always next year. Anyways, I was sitting at home in my bed deep in thought (like always). I want to become someone who is good at expressing themselves. Whether it be through photography, editing, cinematography ect. I know I have the skills and the resources but what I lack is the motivation. I think that this should all come easily to me- everything has, but this is something that won't be done in a few hours or even days. Instead of focusing the the final outcome I need to focus more on actually making it. Every snap, every import, every clip. What makes art amazing is not just what you see, but all the labor, time, emotion and feelings behind it. Before I start getting to poetic here I am going to stop and wait for Final Cut Pro X to finish downloading so I can take some time to work with it.

Lots Of Glitter, hope and other magical things,

Autumn Adventure.

Why I Like It: This outfit is very comfy! The large top and fitting pants balance each other out and will keep you warm . I love the camel color of the top. It's not a color you see everyday but it blends in perfectly with the fall atmosphere. I would keep the makeup simple but add a bit more color than usual on the lips. For accessories I paired a simple corduroy backpack, a black blue nail polish and the most beautiful ring I've ever seen. It's such a unique color which will contrast against the camel colored sweater.

{Light Me Up!}

Candles are one of my favorite parts about fall and winter. They fill up my room with their delectable scent and give a calming presence. My favorite candles are the Slatkin & Co. candles because they have a wider range and the scents are a bit more complex. They are available at Bath & Body works and can cost anywhere between $3.50 to $20. Some of my favorites are listed down below!

Hot Buttered Rum- Rich and delicious, a comforting blend of spiced rum and warm caramel, with a touch of vanilla bourbon

Pumpkin Caramel Latte- A frothy blend of creamy pumpkin, sweet vanilla cream and rich pralines is topped with a spiced caramel swirl.

Frosted Cupcake- A decadent combination of rich buttercream frosting, sugar and fresh vanilla bean, finished with the essence of cake batter

Salty Caramel- Sweet cream and caramel sprinkled with glazed pecans.

{Current Want}

Current Want: Pumpkin Spice Latte
Why?: Because its the most wonderful thing I've ever tasted.

It's currently very gloomy outside; the sky is filled with dark slate grey clouds and the wind is gently tousling the trees. I'm sitting her in my dimly lit room writing and attempting to magically become inspired. A Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks would perfectly compliment my situation at the moment.
