Queen Amidala; Fashionista Extraordinaire

Ever since I first saw Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace I have been fascinated with the amazing and extravagant costumes that Queen Amidala and her decoy wear. Since last Tuesday Dan and I went to see it in theaters in 3D I wanted to do a post dedicated to the most stylish person in the Star Wars universe.

Sew a Hello Kitty Cushion

Earlier today Dan and I had to go out to pick up some groceries, we also stopped in to Value Village where I found this awesome Sew a Hello Kitty kit for only $3.99!




There was only one piece missing, and it was just the tiny piece of yellow felt for the nose. That was easily fixed with a yellow marker though :)








Finished product is pretty cute! :)

Valentine's Day

I had a great day yesterday with Dan! We started the day off by getting some bagels for lunch, because as we all know bagels are the foundation for a great start to a day! 

Monday night I tried my hand at doing marbled nail art. It turned out pretty messy, but at least I know to use better colors next time and it was fun! Search on Google or YouTube for marble nail art tutorials, it's pretty easy and you get fun results that are different on each nail!




I brought Dan some treats for Valentine's, some brownies and a heart shaped chocolate chip cookies! The cupcake papers and fancy toothpicks were something I picked up in September or October for only $3.99, I was so excited to finally use them!




This is the card I made for Dan, maybe just the best Valentine's card ever!

Dan also got me a few treats, some really cute kitty stickers that I've put over my laptop and some Betty Boop gum (isn't the container the cutest?!)

For Christmas my sister bought me a box of chocolate covered cherries, something I usually treat myself to on Valentine's Day so I had not opened them until yesterday! Needless to say Loki was pretty interested, she thought they were little round toys!

By far the best part of the night though was our movie date! Dan took me to see Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace in 3D! It was awesome, so so awesome. I really hope they continue to re-lease the rest of the films in 3D, because I will never say no to Star Wars on the big screen. They had red and black 3D glasses especially for the movie too, I loved them! After the movie we grabbed some pizza, then had some drinks back at home. It was such a great day.

Girl Crush Alert!

Okay I have to be completely honest here, in the past few months I've realized how much I love Rihanna. Her style, her music, her unbelievably good looks! I had always sung along with her songs because I would hear them enough from the television/radio but never really considered myself a "fan". Recently though something just clicked inside of me that's like "HOLY SHIT I LOVE RIHANNA!!!"

Did any of you catch The Grammys last night? She looks amazing! Both her dress for the red carpet and what she wore while preforming. If you didn't catch it you should really check out her performance of We Found Love and her duet with Coldplay, I mean if you are a fan of hers!

To end this off I'll share just a few other picture of Rihanna because she's beautiful, and I just can't get enough.

Bad Blogging 101/Outfit photodump

Okay so I basically just left this blog for a while. The longer I went without updating the longer I went along putting off making any sort of post. I realized I don't do much at the moment so if I can't even update a blog a few times a week then what am I doing? At least with this it's something to show for my thoughts and what not.

The most important thing that has happened is that I've got around to applying for two job positions. I still have to drop more resumes off at other places but this is a start! It's so hard to get myself out there and bringing someone my resume face-to-face, it terrifies me. The fact of a interview terrifies me even more but it would be hella awesome to get one and get back into the work world again. And well, some moolah would be nice so I don't feel like such a a bum >.<

Oh, the other day I was walking downtown and the Greco Pizza/Captain Sub that was downtown is now empty and up for rent. Where do I go for my delicious cheesy and greasy pizza downtown now? Don't you hate when your favorite places just seem to leave?

That's enough of my rambling, enjoy some pictures from the past few weeks!



I really love the floral top, but I feel it's a bit frumpy, anybody had any ideas on how to work it to it's best potential?


 Forget-Me-Nots were one of my Gramma's favorite flowers. One day I found this pin and it was almost like it was a sign from her ♥
