Snow


well it is here. I have a very love/hate relationship with winter weather. I love being tucked inside all warm and watching the snow, but staying at home all day I tend to make poor eating choices and end up eating 400 points. But there is something about snow that makes everything perfect, it covers all the ugly.

PS Did you see the inauguration today? Aren't the Obama girls to cute!!!!

Hourglass

Belt-Buckles You Can Eat Off Of: Never Good

1st-well, here I am a prep in the middle of a small town that also just happens to be in the Bible Belt, seriously they think overalls with a button up shirt is a classy outfit. I should not judge I grew up here, but since moving to college and expanding my taste for the classier side of life it does appall me. Therefore, my new outlet. Voila'! I just needed a place to express that OMG J.Crew has 20% off and free shipping and how exciting that is.

2nd- this whole ordeal is to track my lovely first big girl/real world job. Yes! I know a job... Well one should be excited, but my parents wanted me to go to law school (which is still not out of the question). Back to the job, I am a advocate for a non-profit that deals with victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, very rewarding work.

3rd- I just miss fashion and how exciting it was. I say was because living in a place like this drains the fun, fashionista out of you and before you know it you are rolling into work in jeans and a old date party shirt, with your hair in a ponytail. Yes I know outrageous. And my New Years Resolution is to put the brakes on outfits like that. But I needed a little help, a place to organize my ideas. Instead of bouncing back and forth from the J.Crew website to the Banana, when in reality I need to take my ass down to the thrift shop, but end up on Ralph Lauren.

Focus it is what i need, stay tuned.
