Lazy Love

 Happy Valentine's Day everyone! This is an older outfit that I didn't post because... Well, I don't really know why not. As it would happen, I'm not feeling well today and Matt and I wanted to spend our Valentine's day snuggled up in our fort. (I'll post a photo of that too!) We watched some romantic movies, he bought me Lush bath stuff, and I made him brownies. All in all it was a pretty fun, laid back day, and even though I didn't get dressed up or anything I still wanted to have something to post just to check in with you all!

How was your Valentine's Day?

Excessive Love

 Usually I'm really self conscious about putting too many pictures of one outfit on my blog, but I chose a lot for this particular blog post because can you really have too many pictures of this slip? I don't think so. Some situations call for excess!

I saw this little ditty on the Free People website and bought it immediately! I have been so excited to wear it and post about it on my blog that I ended up not wearing it at all since I got it in because I wanted it to be perfect! (Ah, blogger problems.) I just couldn't stand it any longer today, and even though I'm only wearing it around my apartment and to environmental science tonight, I'm still so happy in it. That's when you know you've made a smart purchase! 

The slip to me, has a really nice mixture of 1920s and 1990s styles. It reminded me a lot of something Courtney Love would wear, so I decided to wear it more in an edgy 1990s style than a glamorous 1920s style. Though Courtney would probably have opted for ripped hose and Mary Jane shoes, I think the general mood was carried over. 

What do you think of the styling in this outfit? How would you have styled the piece?

Inspiration Monday: Eleventh Gorgeous!

Hey guys!

So, there is going to be a very minor change to this blog. Some of you might not even notice because the daily posts have only been going on for a few weeks, but I thought I would mention it in case any of you did notice and wanted to know what was up with the change. What was formerly known as Pinspiration Monday will now simply be Inspiration Monday. It was getting to be more work than it was fun to find a bunch of cool pins that I cared enough about to share with you all. This way, it's a bit more open ended so I can share with you all anything that is inspiring me, whether it be a pin, multiple pins, a tumblr image, a new blog, or in today's case - a YouTube channel!

YouTube blogging is something that I love watching but have no experience in at all. In fact, my Nordstrom haul was the first YouTube video I've ever put up that wasn't just me goofing around with my friends. I'm thinking about doing more but not sure if I have what it takes - Especially compared to some other amazing YouTubers out there!

The YouTube channel I'm going to be talking about with you all today is one that I've mentioned previously on this blog before, but only briefly. Eleventh Gorgeous is such a fun channel to watch. Make up, beauty, fashion, and all that fun girl stuff has always been something I take very seriously! (Not in a serious way though. Take seriously in a fun way.) So when I first started watching YouTubers who talked a lot about drug store products, I was a little skeptical. That was until I found Eleventh Gorgeous. Look at these girls' make up and tell me it doesn't look like they knew what they were doing when they picked out what to put on their faces!

Aside from inspiring me to search both high end and lower end for beauty products, these ladies are also just flat out entertaining to watch. Though their style isn't necessarily my style, I still find their channel to be really inspiring. Obviously, I have a fashion blog. But I still love beauty, health, and make up stuff as well. I look forward to these girls' input with every video! Here are a few of my favorite videos they've posted recently!
