Obsession

Soooo a while ago I posted about a book series that was a must read.. the Hunger Games…. I love to read and have read several books after this but still nothing seems to compare. To make matters worse I found out in late April they are filming most of the movie (due out March 2012) in my town.. Seriously?! And to make it even better they need extras, LOTS of extras! So me and good friend went and put in our picture in hopes to be apart of the film.
Well its now mid June and guess what still no call back. Hoping and praying they will give me a call. I don’t care if they dye my hair purple (read the books) I don’t care if they want to give me whiskers (again read the books) PLEASE make my dream come true and allow me to be apart of this!

Alright… Thats my obsession for now.  So in the mean time check out this  Mockingjay inspired jewelry on Etsy.com

Tall girls unite

I am tall, yes I know, I have pointed out to me daily. Normal response is to laugh and blame it on the fact that I like tall shoes. There were times when I was younger I wish I didn’t stick out so much. I feel like I am kind of weird and clumsy in the first place so it made me feel even more awkward being tall.. Anyways, I have grown to appreciate it. Even more so I have grown to love shoes that make me even taller. Is it a power thing? I feel like it is. Its like burst of confidence when I am in four inch heel and walk in to a meeting at work.
Jessica Simpson is 5′2 and these shoes of her’s would make her 5′7. I will be standing tall at 6′3 and embrace my height.  Embrace height no matter how tall  you stand 5′2 or 5′10

The Hunger Games Series

I told you I love to read. This is my new favorite series. Twilight does not hold a candle to these books. The main character Katniss, makes Bella look weak and boy obsessed.  These books are worth  several reads!

FYI

Groupon.com is offering a $50 gift card from Gap for $25.. Being familiar with their discounts, that is next best thing to the free pants coupons they were giving out!

A Few Projects

Apron Front

Since I was younger I remember I have been cutting up my clothes..  My mom didn’t really love it, of course, but always encourage any creative interest. Well, several years later I have started to pick up sewing. It can sometimes be intimidating but definitely worth the end result! Here are few of my recent projects.  I have wanted a bright fun skirt for summer, couldn’t find one I liked so I made the one below. The apron was for a good friend who just got into Culinary School. The pillow was inspired by one I saw in Anthropologie.

Gap’s New Gear!

The staff at Gap were kind enough to let me preview some of their new stuff. Below is what I found the most intriguing! BTW I don’t mind jeggings but they should be worn as a legging not a jean.( I had Gap’s approval before taking these pictures)

Favorite sites

Here is  few of my favorite site I find myself going to a little more lately!

Baghaus.com - I find the easiest way to update your look is by adding new accessories! It’s a cheaper way of staying in trend without going over board financially.  Baghaus  has an awesome bag selection with prices that are fantastic! This bag is on my soon to purchase  list.

Shopstyle.com- great for fashion inspiration! This website also is great as a pre-shopping tool.  It categorizes clothing by  style, brand, store etc… to make it easier to find the pieces you are looking for.  You can also create looks before you purchase them.

Shopittome.com- I have mentioned this before but seriously it is an amazing site!  Even better, they email you when your favorite store is having a sale and shows you the pieces that are marked down.

I love turquoise and gold together so why not a great ring or earrings… Like I said in my earlier entry, accessories are the easiest way to update your look
