get ready for a full head-to-toe makeover

Hopefully you know by now that I'm obsessed with leopard print. Clearly.

This post is all about unloading some pictures taken over the past couple months.

The next post you'll see is going to be a completely made-over blog. Just you wait :)

I'm gonna get back into the swing of things and post more regularly, now that I'm home for the holidays and finals are OVER! =D

I paint my toenails black as a secret form of rebellion. It makes me feel all sorts of badass.

I match my physics notes to my outfit. It's not THAT weird, right?

I bought that wallet/pouch at Craftland in Providence, RI. It's handmade by MissAllison. I absolutely LOVE it.

And finally, my super fuzzy doggy, Chuckie! My mom refuses to cut his hair because it's winter now, so he looks like a big, curly, dog-shaped pom-pom.

Happy holidays!

must watch clueless over and over and over

This is insane.

WHY DID BRITTANY MURPHY HAVE TO DIE?!
I heard it on the radio today and then googled it.....and even after hearing it and reading about it, I still can't believe it. Now I just feel the need to watch Clueless over and over and over again.

RIP

i've been waiting for you

I can't tell you how long I've been searching for an inexpensive pair of wingtips. Thank you, Forever21.

Except...after spending my entire paycheck already, these may have to wait. Maybe they can be a Christmas present? :)

I've been really bad, really busy, really lazy, really uninspired. My excuses for not blogging in a while.

And out of all those days I missed, I only have TWO outfit pics to show for it.... :(

And now, on top of that, my camera broke. I'm ordering a new (really cheap) one soon, but until that comes, I'm still outfit-photo-less.

Hope you're enjoying the snow as much as I am!

ETSY

I have finally finally finally launched my Etsy shop! Right now it only has two items so far....but I have a bunch of other items I still have to photograph and/or list!

Check it out:


I came up with the idea for this sunglasses rack because I desperately needed a place to keep all those cheap sunglasses I keep buying! (I've bought FOUR PAIRS in the last two months alone!)
So I made one for myself (not pictured) and so far have a couple for my Etsy, but definitely plan on making more.


Let me know what you think!

Newport

Today, a couple of my friends and I took the RIPTA (Rhode Island Public Transit Authority) from Providence to Newport. It was such a good time and such a nice day.

We went on the Cliff Walk which was really awesome. It's gorgeous and the mansions are ginormous.

This cool tunnel thing was part of the walk.

And we bought these sweet shades at this store that was going out of business and everything was on sale...THESE SUNGLASSES WERE ONLY $2.10!! So of course each of us bought two pairs :)

Such a cool place.

And by the way, my friend that's on the left in the above picture is a DJ who is really really good. You should take a listen to his stuff:
