Color Palette - Diaphanous Rose

I've been seeing color palette images all over the place, especially in Pinterest. They're pleasing to the eye, they satisfy the visual artist in me, and they make for really good interior design color inspiration!

In accordance with this new craze, I've decided to make my own, using one of my photographs and some help from Pugly Pixel (Check out this site if you have photoshop, she's got lots of free downloads!)

I also included some items from Urban Outfitters for us to fantasize about.

Party Like a Lady

You know those days where your hair does exactly what you want it to without even trying? Last Saturday was one of those days, and it was glorious! I rocked my new bangs, was struck by a sudden urge to wear this uber-girly outfit, saw a ballet based on Cinderella, and ate some really delicious food. As far as weekends go, I'd call this one a success, and as far as dates go, I'd say this one was excellent. I felt like such a lady, going to the theatre (said in a fancy accent). The great thing is, the cheapest tickets were less than $20, and when we arrived, they offered seat upgrades for free! I'd say dinner-and-a-performance is a great date idea, as well as being a slightly more interesting variation on the classic dinner-and-a-movie date.

I'm usually not one to be overly romantic and sappy when it comes to this holiday, and I certainly have never formally celebrated it to the degree I did this year. I must say, however, that it was really lovely, and I shall plan more things like this for future minor holidays. The next holiday is Presidents Day, so in accordance with my new-found interest in such holidays, I plan to eat lots of... vanilla pudding. I realize this has nothing to do with Presidents Day, but I'll take any excuse to eat gratuitous amounts of vanilla pudding. :D

Also, this bag is awesome. I use it for everything, even carrying books around school. Why is it awesome, you ask? Because of the two strap options. You have shorter shoulder straps, as well as a longer, adjustable cross-body strap. It's a really helpful feature! If you're looking for a versatile bag, look for double strap/handle types.

Still Life


Before I begin, I have to mention a grammatical nuance that is rather confusing to me, and now I am second guessing every single punctuation mark and word I've ever written in my entire life because of it.  What is the plural of "Still Life"?  There can only be two options, "Still Lifes" or "Still Lives."  Neither of them look right, so I'm going to opt for something completely different: still life photographs and/or paintings.  Problem solved! 

I've always loved pictures and paintings of objects, the way items are placed and lit can be so beautiful.  A still life has the power to turn ordinary objects such as fruit, a bowl, or a vase into something magical.  The thing I love about photographing inanimate objects is that I can compose them exactly how I envision, and they never complain.  However, I have yet to photograph a still life that I truly feel satisfied with and proud of.  In my eyes, there's always something missing.  I was able to use natural light from my three fantastic windows, and I found these flowers near my house, but the colors weren't exactly what I had wanted.  BUT, I can always use practice, so here it is!

I'm not sure which, if any, I should post for sale on Etsy.  Any thoughts?  Do my readers have a favorite?

Floral, Brown & Dusty Rose

Today was my second day of the new semester, and I hereby declare it a success! Tuesdays are my longest day, so I opted (like always) for comfortable and practical tan flats, my old pair of extremely faded black pants, which some argue to be a shade of denim blue, a floral chiffon top, a super-soft rose-colored scarf, and a faux leather jacket to keep me warm in the crisp morning air as I traversed the mile from my car to my classroom.


I also tried out a new nail design, rose pink with burgundy half-circles at the base. I’m not sure how I feel about them, and I'm contemplating just starting all over again.
