Sunshine and Fairy Dust {What I Wore Sunday}

There's something absolutely magical about the way the sun filters through the trees just so at mid-day, just a few hours before sunset, and gives the grass such a marvelous green hue, and a touch of gold to everything it glances off of. I was just playing around with my camera when all of a sudden I saw a glow of light. I snapped the picture and came out with the one above, streaming with rays of light.

Vintage Fashions {Fashion Saturday}

Hello everyone!

I am super excited abut this post! I adore vintage style fashions, and I am going to share some of my recent favorites with you today. Unfortunately, since there are so many I love, I can't share them all in one post! I may have to end up doing a few more of these!(: Today, I intend to focus on the fashions of the 30s, 40s, and 50s, some of my favorite periods for fashion, though ther are so many I love!

Cute little velvet dress from the 30s...

What do you think, can you pull these looks off today? I like the idea of taking vintage style pieces and updating them with a touch of modern, maybe a statement necklace or shoes. Or you can just make your outfit completely vintage inspired! I might do either, depending on my mood. What about you?

WInter Wonderland {Part 2}

Hello everyone,

I hope you all have had a wonderful week! Mine has been busy, but I'm looking forward to relaxing over the weekend, and writing my next short story assignment (I'm still working out the plot, though! It's easy to say a person changes his or her mind, but the WHY is the hard part!).

I miss the snow so much! It's a bit scary to be driving in, especially if you live on a hill (like I do!), but it just fills me with happiness to look at it. Pictures truly do not do justice to the real thing. It's so white and clean, and makes the world seem brighter and more beautiful. And now, spring is peeking its head out from around the corner, and winter's on its way. The tulips are growing, and soon the trees will be in bloom, and we'll have the beauty of new life that spring brings with her. I suppose I'll be happy to see it come, though sad to see winter go!







A whole new level of loveliness was added after the ice storm...dangerous, and bitterly cold, but a true marvel. I had never seen anything like it! Everything was coated in a clear layer of ice.






A cup of cocoa is the perfect way to warm up after coming inside half-frozen!
