When I decided to redo my room, I had two goals in mind. One was to have all white beddings. I'd been living in the land of ivory for far too long and I drastically needed something fresher. The second was to update my style in a more grown up way but still holding on to that fun girly aspect I had before. I had done "shabby chic" for years and was hoping for Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10893597473126121869noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468047582334378739.post-448381874355528522012-02-22T10:19:00.001-05:002012-02-22T10:21:35.335-05:00Safe & Sound (The Hunger Games) by Taylor Swift featuring The Civil Wars
Alright, so I am incredibly psyched about The Hunger Games (tickets on sale TODAY) and this is the first video! I love Taylor Swift and have recently been getting into The Civil Wars and I think this video is amazing!

A great thing happened this weekend!
Spring makeup came out! Yay!
I'm not one that often changes my makeup with the season. I'll update my nailpolish, perhaps a new lipstick, and occasionally a new blush (however, I found that coral blush works so great on me that I haven't stopped wearing it since last summer.)
With that being said, I have been meaning to ramp up my eye makeup.

I also love, that due to my birthday being on the 4th, that I extend all New Years Resolutions until right about now.
As of right now, I feel icky and full. I've been eating for 4 days straight and not depriving myself one bit. It's easy to immediately jump on the "workout more" bandwagon, but I find that every year I do that, I just fail.

I love how informal this Gallery became. Also, I love Claire's tights.
One of the best parts of spending all my free time at the Corcoran is the ability to get up close and personal with the artists that exhibit there. With the NOW at the Corcoran series, the museum has done a fascinating job of tapping into talent and bringing them to a larger audience.

This is the most low key Lisa Frank I could find.
So today a friends passed around an article about being a kid in the ‘90’s and how we’re going to have to explain all our weird crap to our children, like boy bands and Lisa Frank stickers (whatever – kids get it.)
Naturally, I have a problem with everything they omitted.

If you're a lady that is.
Movember is a clever little portmanteau of Moustache and November. This annual, month-long event involves growing a moustache or facial hair throughout the month to raise awareness for men's health problems.

The idea of a paper moon sounds quite romantic, but what on earth is a paper moon? I've been listening to songs about paper moons lately - songs downloaded years ago that are just now making their way into rotation on my iPod.
Paper Moon by Whiskeytown (Ryan Adams band) is so lovely and intriguing.
