A lot has changed since these photos were taken on a 90 degree day back in July: Summer is all but gone, my bangs are no longer mint green, I've lost about six pounds due to stress, I've gained a core group of friends that I will forever be thankful for, and I moved back home. It is very surreal being in the...

While texting Hassaun this morning (shooting the shit, like you do), I told them that after the hormonal roller-coaster that was last week, I am kicking this week in the ass. They then responded with "So, you are going all Fight Club on this week?" yes, yes, I am. I have been feeling slightly overwhelmed lately, and it is all my own doing....

The other day I was tinkering around with the layout of this blog, adjusting little things that no one else would ever notice but me, and it dawned on me: I created this blog six years ago. The very first post wasn't up until October, but, I created an account and had been slowly setting things up since June, 2009. I was 23...

If you have been following me on instagram lately, you may have noticed a few new recent changes. One: I now have purple hair. Two: I. LOVE. IT. Three: Party Cats.  When my super-awesome friend Jen finally got around to getting a Snapchat account, her username was something about a party cat (based off of this comic strip). I of course was thrilled...

As I type this, I am jamming out to Best Coast's new album while running on 4.5 hours of sleep. I have been getting the most out of my days lately, and everything sort of feels like a giant whirlwind. My life is work, gym, friends, trying to keep up with Kyle's new work schedule, and about a million projects going on. I...

I have tried getting photos of this outfit twice now, and both times they came out terrible. These were from the first batch where the lighting was weird, and the second batch came out all blurry. C'est la vie, non? Because that is real life, not everything is perfect. Speaking of real life, I have been spending a lot of time just living...

Douglas Adams in the house! Okay, just me. In some going-out clothes! Outfit posts have been rare on this blog as of late, but I think most evening wear goes undocumented. Such a shame! Especially when I am pretty positive that I have pulled off looking like a trollop here. Tight dress meant for  a 21 year old? Check. Fake leather? Check. Heels...

I had honestly thought that the last of the #FallShit was behind us, then we drove past this hill covered in yellow leaves last weekend. Oak Park was holding out on us! Right now however, there is about 1-2 inches of snow on the ground, but then it is supposed to get back up to the 50's on Monday, so I have no...

In junior high, I really loved The X-Files. In junior high, kids were mean, and teased me for loving The X-Files. Not all of the kids, most of them didn't really care, but there were a few that would snicker, and mock the awesome T-shirt my parents bought me for Christmas one year. It hurt, a lot more than it should have, because...

Another outfit post, another park. This one we found in Ferndale, right after getting some lunch at Hilton Road Cafe (another place that I should do a blog post on!). This outfit was inspired by one of Tieka's fall outfits, and although  I like hers loads more, this was the perfect outfit for a cold Saturday out and about with Kyle, layers FTW!...

This dress, this stupid dress! The boat neck style makes it so that I have to either wear a strapless bra with it, or always layer something under/over it. It also has no shape, so it needs to be belted, something I unfortunately did not do for this particular outfit. It is also a little fitted around my bottom half, but really lose...
