It's No Wonder That Her Name Means Beauty

Sweater: Wet Seal, Skirt: Target, Tights: Target, Shoes: Urban Outfitters, Belt: Charlotte Russe, Bow: Made by me

 Beauty and the Beast in 3D came out today, and you better believe I was there! Oh my goodness, it was like seeing it for the first time again! It was amazing and so well done. "Be Our Guest" and "Tale As Old As Time" were epic pieces before when the movie was release, and seeing them in 3D just made it even better!

 This is my modern-day, Belle-inspired outfit. I stuck to the blue theme like her original outfit. Her golden-yellow ball gown is still something I dream about (see my pinterest here), but the beauty in that is it being a formal gown.

Beauty and the Beast was my favorite Disney movie growing up (along with The Little Mermaid...red hair had to come from somewhere!). I love that Belle is an independent woman who wasn't all about finding Prince Charming, but still understood that when she found true love, she was not about letting it go either. What is your favorite Disney movie? Are you going to see Beauty and the Beast in 3D? You should! It's worth it!

Polyvore

Polyvore has quickly become one of my favorite websites. Lately I've been sketching a lot of ideas, and this website allows me to create my own inspiration. It took me a while to get on here because it always seemed like it would be difficult to use, but it's so user friendly! These three are the only ones I've made so far, but you can follow me here! There will be lots more to come!

On the Ice

Sweater: Thrifted, Skirt: Thrifted, Tights: Target, Shoes: Urban Outfitters, Earrings: Gift

 These pictures were taken on the pond in the "backyard" of Garrett's apartment before we got yelled at for being on the ice. I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've ever been on a real frozen pond before. Usually, if I go ice skating, it's at an ice rink. 

 I've been rather busy the last few days, hence the lack of posting. Karen came to see me at the end of last week and stayed a day longer than planned, which was awesome! Then I had to head up to Point for a bit, then to my dad's in Oshkosh, and then back home before my mom and Bob flew out to Seattle. (I hope you guys are having fun! Are are giving lots of hugs for me!)

 I basically thrifted and refashioned this entire outfit (and the shoes I got for only $9.99!). My outfits have been pretty lazy lately, so I was excited to be back in a fun one again!

I started watching the new ABC Family show, Jane By Design. The storyline is a mix of Pretty in Pink, Hannah Montana and The Devil Wears Prada. It's a bit high school (since it takes place in high school), but the outfits are awesome, so it's totally worth watching! 

Can anyone else in Wisconsin believe this lack of snow still? Apparently we're supposed to get 5in tonight, but we'll see...

BFF Day

Shirt: H&M, Sweater: Canyon River Blue, Jeans: Target, Boots: Modcloth, Necklace: Rue 21, Glasses: Ray-Ban

 My bff, Karen, took my pictures today! She came up to visit for a couple days, so naturally we went shopping and had a One Tree Hill marathon. :)

 I found this shirt at H&M and it was too good to resist! 

 Earlier this week my mom and I went to the salon and got our hair dyed and trimmed. My bangs are a bit shorter than I was wanting, but the color turned out great! 

Hello 2012!

Dress: Deb's, Sweater: Target, Tights: Target, Shoes: Urban Outfitters, Belt: Charlotte Russe

 A very happy belated new year to you all! Truthfully, my outfits have not been picture worthy this past couple days. I've been spending my time cleaning, organizing and sorting through pretty much everything I own. 

 I bought these shoes at UO for only $9.99! I love my black heeled oxfords, and I'd love to wear them all the time, but half my outfits work better with brown, so I was very excited to find these. And I was even more excited about the price!

 My stepdad and I went to the Mitchell Park Conservatory in Milwaukee today. Unfortunately one of the domes was closed to set up for their next season (they just took down their Christmas display), but I haven't been there in about 8 years so it was still pretty fun to go back. These are some of the pictures I took.
