How Bazaar...

Have you ever had one of those days where nothing really went wrong, but its just hasn't been a good day?
That's what today was like for me. 
Nothing went wrong, like at all, but I'm just not feeling it today. I was actually pretty productive: I did all my homework for my classes today, I cleaned my room, and went to dinner with a friend. And that friend actually shared some great news: she invited me to come with her to NYC for Spring Break! I'm so excited for that, but still in my head I keep thinking today was eh or lets just go to sleep.
I don't know maybe I'm just tired, maybe my roommate problems are bothering me more than I thought (I'll probably post about those later).
Anyway, instead of going downtown (where most of Athens will be tonight) I went and got a diet green tea, carmel corn rice snacks and the January issue of Harper's Bazaar. 
Harper's Bazaar always cheers me up (even if Taylor Swift is on the cover, she's annoying).
I'd fill you in on her love advice, but I think she's gone through a boyfriend or two since the interveiw (jk). And this issues been on newsstands for a while so you probably already know what is in it. 
Or don't care...


Hope these winter blues or whatever it is are gone tomorrow, so I can start obsessing over my NYC trip!

Chic Peek

Ok guys, I have a confession to make.... I am officially addicted to LEATHER LEGGINGS....
Weird, right? Or maybe not so weird, thats what I can't figure out.
I know tons of people like them, love them, wear them all the time. And some people are more like they've already hit their peak and they are so over now. I am just a bit confused on why I have recently become obsessed lately...
It's not like I've been living in an underground hole (redundant and i like it) and I've just realized they exist, I've known about them and seen about them in person and just didn't care that much about them. Then all of the sudden BAM!! I'm sitting on my couch and I see some, I don't even remember if I saw someone on TV wearing them or online or maybe I just had a vision haha. I don't know I don't care, its like I just realized that I need them like really need them. I had a dream about them last night. But OF COURSE when I scour the mall to find a pair there are none to be seen, so I ordered some online. Hopefully they'll work out great and hopefully they'll come in before I'm over this crazed obsession.


Here are some other things I've been drooling over lately:

Malachite.

I really want to have a few malachite boxes for my new living room, but its a work in progress.
And its perfect for Pantone's Color of the Year: Emerald


Brown Nail Polish
I don't usually love browns and tans, but for some reason I do now.

Vaseline
This one may sound weird but I use it all the time. Especially since it is winter now, I don't really use chapstick so just a dab of this on my lips and I'm just fine. 
Also I've recently re-started using it as an eyelash conditioner again, I stopped a few months ago just out of pure laziness. But it really does make your eyelashes look so much longer and fuller and it helps prevent any wrinkles that might just sprout up around the eyes!

Those are just a few things that have been occupying my thoughts lately, I'll definitely update when the leggings get in. Hopefully soon!

So, what have you been obsessed with lately?

On a scale from 1 to 10...

Ok so from yesterday to today my stress level has completely flip flopped!
Yesterday I was stress free and feelin' fine (with the exception of being sick, but that's something else all on its own) and today I am stressed to the max.
Today I had my last first day of school for my undergrad! Exciting? Yes. Stress free? Nope.
Not only did my professors start to pile on the homework today (come on what happened to easing back into school?), but this bedroom project is filled with problem after problem and this semester I'm doing my senior thesis and I have NO CLUE what my topic will be or who I want to be my faculty advisor. But anyway, I'll just go on stressing and neurotically filling up my planner and notebook with important things and you can just take a quick peek at how cute my planner is from Target (the striped one) and my adorable notebook from TJ Maxx (the black and gold Art Deco one).

I hope your day has been more relaxing ;)

Sick as a Dawg

My last first day of undergrad is on Tuesday and I am so so sick. Like it hurts to talk, it hurts to breathe, it hurts my throat not to do anything. So my plans on going to get school supplies and stuff have been postponed. So I thought I'd include a few things that are making me feel not as bad.

Like a bubble bath, reading Who What Wear Daily, macarons, pretending I'm in Paris, my wittle baby puppy dog, and I could really go on and on but none of its really helping me all that much. Haha

I hope you all are feeling better than I am!

XO,

New find for the bedroom project!

Don't get too excited it is just something small, but it's something nonetheless.

It's this cute little tray, it was totally el cheapo but it ties in all the colors I think we will be using (mint, pink, and gold)!

It's not the most amazing thing in the world but I think when styled right and when the rooms all together it'll be perfect-oh!

Get Back to Work

The holidays are over, school's about to start back (my LAST semester!!), and I'm slightly behind on about everything I have to do. So of course, I'm doing unproductive things like looking at Refinery29 and what do I find????


Their new lookbook is CLUELESS themed!!!
Are you totally buggin'?

Anyway, I am still working on the bedroom project (the color theme keeps changing), I am trying to perfect my class schedule, and find time to switch my whole wardrobe to Clueless inspired ensembles (just kidding, I think).

Have a Great Day!

Happy 2013!!

Ok, so I may be a few days late to wishing you a fabulous New Year, but props to who ever said "better late than never." 
With a new year come new resolutions, so I thought I'd share a few of mine with you. Some of them are pretty cliche, but here we go:
1. Save more money (especially since I plan on moving to Charlotte after graduation this is a MUST!)
2. Keep better track of my checkbook and save receipts. (Similar to #1)
3. Workout more and eat better. (Yeah yeah we all say that haha)
4. Go to church more! (This last year I feel like I haven't gone as much even when I was at home with my parents, so I really want to change that.)
5. Be nicer. (I'm not a mean person, I promise! But I think we all need to be a little nicer to people every now and then)
6. Post more often on here!
7. And finally, I saw this really awesome thing on Design Darling called 101 in 1001. It is a list of 101 things you want to accomplish in 1001 days (roughly 2.75 years). I really think this an awesome thing to do! Its like New Years resolutions that keep going, I definitely plan on doing this once I come up with 101 things I want to do and I'll keep track of it on here!

What are your New Year's resolutions? What do you think about the 101 in 1001 list? 
I'd love to hear your opinions!
