Sweet Thing!

I am looking forward to this one! "Where the Wild Things Are" is so classic and special! It looks like they did a wonderful job with the interpretation, making a movie that will allow children to fall in love with this enchanting book and give adults a chance to revisit childhood in a whole new and exciting way!
found this via Morning Glory



I stumbled upon this cutie while browsing Things We Like. I thought it looked brilliantly sweet and the trailer was mysterious enough to make me want to know more about this boy and a penguin in a row boat! Based on a children's book by Oliver Jeffers, I am looking forwad to this one as well!

Unexpected Color and Delight!

I am loving the pops of color from the bottoms of wedding dresses these days! I don't know if I would go this route only because I would worry about how I would feel about it years down the road! But these make my heart skip! And, okay, make me drool only a little!

This one is my absolute favorite! So fun and unique! I just want this dress period! I will Find something to wear it to!

Same idea here just a tad more conservative.
This blue and brown look great with the grooms suite.

These next few were designed by Stephanie Jane Couture! Very sweet! She has some lovely dresses in full and tea length.
And who doesn't love an unexpected pop of pink!

What are you listening to right now?
like literally right now? Adele and Cat Power.

What is your favorite weather?
although i really like a good summer day, my favorite is the slightly crisp cool air where you are only able to get warm directly in the sun. i also enjoy a walk on the beach when it's a bit dreary with gray-white clouds, wearing a hoodie (and of course no one else on the beach).

What is your most challenging goal right now?
deciding how to afford grad school and what to major in. at the same time saving money.

What is a fashion style you can't stand?
i really don't understand the pants hanging down to a persons knees thing! i mean whats the appeal? you can't really walk. i have seen people who might as well not be wearing pants because their butt was hanging out! i can not stand this!

those who have been here a while may already know... maine!

Name the things you cannot live without:
music, books, my camera and I really liked Morning Glory's' 5 senses answer!

i would to become fluent in spanish for practical purposes and i've already taken classes. but learning italian would be nice and french is so beautiful.

holding hate for those who are different. having a belief and hating others either because they do not feel the same or because one does not understand them.

i have grown more comfortable with myself as i get older which i think has made me funnier and i am very empathetic.

What is your favorite quote/saying?
i don't really have one thats my favorite

Say one random fact about yourself:
Are you ready because this is crazy... When I was in the 3rd grade I woke up for school with pink eye and my mom was like, "we need to put some eye drops in." I laid on her bed, she grabbed the bottle from her bedside table and let a drop slip into my eye. "Oops, we have to do it again, you blinked." I uncovered my eye with the Kleenex I was using to wipe the wet away and realized with fright I could not open my eye! My mom had grabbed a little bottle of fake nail glue that looked exactly like the eye drop bottle! We rushed to the hospital and they cut my eye lashes off and slowly unglued my eye. I had to wear a patch for like 2 weeks. It was the first time I ever saw my mom cry.

What is a charity that is close to your heart?
susan g. koman! any cancer foundation/association really.
and this is always so hard, i will tag 3 today.
elsiee, pearl, & rheea
