final five

quitters never win.... or do they?
So after careful consideration i decided to quit the remix... i thought today would be a great day as the rest of the remixers are wrapping there 30 up. I'm not going to take this as a lost because i did learn a lot of things and this was the first time i followed several different bloggers who all have a variety of styles. For the spring remix i definitely plan to utilize my prints a lot more. As a first time remixer  i went the safe route and picked all very plain items and neutral colors. Nonetheless this is my final outfit! very librarian; lol.

watching the oscars last night made me realize i have seen a great deal of movies this year. I've definitely utilized netflix and the theater a great deal. I have been more open to a wide variety of films. I'm sure this will continue so i'll be touching on that more as well as the nutty novels i've been reading.

Its been grey and nasty out for sometime now and today is the first sunny day! It's still only 27 degrees but i'll take the sun any which way i can get it. Off to play!

today i read this and wished there was a website where  you could send your fears. i'd send something similar to this.

four by the window

The rate i'm going with this remix i should be done by April :) If things were settled and in place i'm sure this wouldn't be a problem. I envy people like Emily who can travel and have a few suitcases instead of a whole closet. Even with just 30 items to chose from i still have trouble dressing myself! i imagine it will get easier. 

Needing new inspiration for crafts i took a trip to the lobby of hobby today; i didn't find any one thing that stuck out to me but possibly an easier way to go about these multi stone rings. I'll keep you posted on that progress. Have a good night! 

Flirty & Thirty

My 30th piece finally came in the mail.  I'm excited to add some color into this remix; as i realized my choices were lacking in that area.  Say hello to Ms. 30! every girl needs a pair of red shoes :)

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.  ~e.e. cumming

I know what you are thinking, girl where are your tights!! Lucky for me we have been having the best weather here the past few days. Yesterday it was in the 60's! so nice. I hear there is a snow storm coming on Sunday but i'm just going to pretend i don't know that. I liked this outfit but immediately changed into my other 30x30 high waisted jean skirt when i got home. It's just a better fit when you have lots of layers to tuck under it. My mood is so in tune with the weather, i have been able to be a lot more creative lately and will showcase some of my hairpieces soon. I'm also working on making wire rings with stones. Oh so fun, i love being crafty. Ok i'm going to head back to it. Have a good one! :)

all you are is mean and a liar and pathetic and alone in life and mean

i'm been writing nonstop for days.

so helpful to get all those feelings out.

especially the ones you forgot you were feeling.

it's the biggest relief, just blowing it all away.

1 2 3 4 tell me that you love me more

So I've finally begun my remix! the challenge so far is not clothing related but instead photo related! as it turns out i'm not a photographer nor do i have one laying around my house (sadly) so it's all me! and i'm hoping i will get better at this :)

quote of the week

you'll go and i'll be okay, i can dream the rest away

I've lost the last 10 days.

2 interviews.

3 birthdays.

8 unreturned calls.

31 unanswered emails.

0 good days. 

I bought two bags of candy, and decided to sugar fire my way back into my life. I've been listening to lisa mitchell, emily haines and blonde redhead as if its the soundtrack to this long winter.  i adore this song; take a listen.

// Black Swan

I realize there is a lot of opinions about this movie, some people who think its crap and some like me who think it was amazing. I have a rule, if a movie can make me feel and get me completely out of myself; its a winner. Natalie was amazing in this film, but what i loved immensely were the costumes that went along with it. Here is a behind the scenes for the costumes, definitely worth a look.

sick

i'm not dead, just sick -- i plan to start the 30 x 30 soon. Check back!
