Simplicity
I love Jewelry but what girl doesn't? Here are some ideas for very simple and classic jewelry that could be worn everyday.
Asos Braided Bracelet
Asos Simple Heart Ring
Asos Circle Ring
Changin It Up
Helllloooo - Did you notice? I changed it up - I made my background better for SPRING:)
This is one of the last days of below 50 degree weather and I couldn't be more pleased. Also, I found the perfect apartment and put down a deposit on it! Another thing, it's Thursday which means it's almost Friday! Today is just a great day.

How-To Hair Video
I follow this blog - Angelica Blick - and the girl is fabulous. It is (roughly) translated in English at the bottom of her posts. She posted these two how-to hair videos and I have done them both to my hair: they are easy and I love the styles!
Furniture Shopping
Since I will be moving soon I have started looking around for living room furniture - any good furniture stores or decorating tips are welcome - and I have found a couch and chair that I really like. Here's what I have:
I love this funky paisley chair - I'm not sure what it will go with but something basic should work.
(of course without those pillows above)
Both items from Nebraska Furniture Mart
On a Budget
Sooooooo I am on the prowl for a new apartment and I am beginning to realize that living on your own is EXPENSIVE. After a week of pouting and fighting this I finally started making a budget list for myself in order to stay OUT of debt. Seeing that I have NO budget for spending ridiculous amounts of money on fabulous designer clothes (without totally giving up eating and drinking in life), I have a new plan for my shopping habits. I'm going to start researching the things that I want: find out when it will go on sale, what the best price is, where the best place is to get it, etc... Also, starting to think before I buy. Make sure that it's something I HAVE to have or NEED - not just something that is pretty :(. Also, not eating out for lunch and dinner as often. It's so easy to pay $15 here and $20 there, but when it all adds up thats about $300 bucks a month just on food - that makes me fat no less!
The moral of my LONG and rambling story is that I am changing my ways!
Some great places to shop on a budget:
Ann Taylor Loft (they have great sales!)
Texas Proud
OPI has a new Texas line of nail polish colors and they are awesome! Some of my favorites are "San Tan-Tonio," "Suzi Loves Cowboys" and "Don't Mess With OPI."

Happy Birthday Kimberly Marie!
Today is one of my best friend's birthdays! She's the one I stole the fabulous quote (a couple posts below) from. She is fabulous and today she is 23! Welcome to the rest of your life babe.
In celebrating Kim's birthday, I stumbled upon these "Snarky Cards" that are wildly inappropriate but hilarious. Check 'em out:

Thief-ISH
I STOLE THIS QUOTE RIGHT OFF my pal Kim's blog - my simple life - but I read it and I immediately wanted it for my own blog so i'm sorry KIMBER.
This is amazing and true. I will stop waiting for Friday.
“Look at you. You’re young. And you’re scared. Why are you so scared? Stop being paralyzed. Stop swallowing your words. Stop caring what other people think. Wear what you want. Say what you want. Listen to the music you want to listen to. Play it loud as fuck and dance to it. Go out for a drive at midnight and forget that you have school the next day. Stop waiting for Friday. Live now. Do it now. Take risks. Tell secrets. This life is yours. When are you going to realize that you can do whatever you want?”
The Un-Chicken
I am so bored with Chicken! It's time to spice things up a little - Let's make some Tilapia. Here is a delicious looking recipe from the Food Network for Tilapia and Green Beans. It looks quick, simple and fantastic.
Maxi-mizing Spring
(This is by request from my one of my bestest friends JessicaLynn)
Although I don't think I can pull of the Maxi dress all too well, I do love the style and the amazing bright colors and prints that I have been seeing lately in the dresses. Here are some of my favorites from Shopbop.
Susana Monaco Black Maxi (Simple and Classic)
I'm SO Excited
So last week I was going through all of my favorite blogs (and some new ones) and I stumbled upon the most fabulous feather earrings - via Could I Have That? blog - and so started my hunt for those earrings. I found them on Facebook - Sirenetta Jewelry - and I ordered two pairs! Here are a few of her beautiful pieces:

Fashion Inspiration
Elin Kling - I am obsessed. She is the fashion director for Style By Magazine, which she started, she has been praised for her blog - Style by Kling and finally she is designing a line for H&M.

Rock Chalk
I need to take a little time to praise my favorite college basketball team during this 2011 March Madness: the JAYHAWKS. As a KU grad, I am obviously a fan but having a really BAMF basketball team just makes it 100x more fun during March. We play the Richmond Spiders tonight at 6:27 pm - everyone tune in and cheer for the Jayhawks!
Boom.

70's Style
I have been trying to ignore it, but I can no longer do it. The 70's are back - from the big hats to the bright colors - and I have fallen in love with it. Here are some fabulous outfit ideas from Zara.
