Something I ALMOST love more ...

I have no new pictures to share with you today, but I do want to share something almost as exciting. Something I love almost as much as photography is fashion! I obsessively shop online - to inevitably buy nothing. With that said everyone has their own style so for those that love vintage inspired clothing these stores are for you.

These are my top 3 favorites:

RUCHE
Spotted Moth
Francesca's Collections

These stores are "relatively" inexpensive - and by relatively I mean dresses priced around $40 - which for a poor college student is still expensive. Forty bucks could buy me a couple of meals here at school or one dress, and many a times it is a struggle to decide which is more important.

I also enjoy looking at three websites that sell designer clothing that is deeply discounted. They offer new items each day but are on the pricey end. The sites often carry designer jeans such as Seven for All Man Kind, Joe's, and Citizen. They also carry menswear and clothing for children. If you have more money than I do (which I am sure is the latter) you might want to sign up for these sites:

HauteLook
Rue Lala
Ideeli

I hope some of you enjoy fashion and will find these sites useful - if not just, it can be a fun waste of time.

"Snapshot" of Time

So it has been entirely too long. I've been so wrapped up in school that I have completely forgotten to do the things I LOVE - take photos and blog about them. Here is a quick "snapshot," no pun intended, of the past couple of weeks:

My best friend and roommate for life turned 21!! We did some really exciting things! Sarah drank a beer, I drank 1/3 of my beer and we were asleep by 11:30 - I know, I know!


The day after Sarah's birthday I made the 8 hour trek back to the one and only, you know where dreams come true - Jersey !!

Was greeted with beautiful flowers and butterflies.


Soon after I arrived back in Blacksburg I attended my first ever lingerie party. Shopping for it was extremely stressful, but it was all worth it because I simply love the girl I was shopping for. I am so happy that she is getting married, but so sad I won't be there to take part in the amazing day.


These past couple of weeks have been rough! There are only 5 or so weeks left in the semester and between now and then I have more work than humanly possible to complete. Last week was awful and found myself on the verge of tears. However, Friday morning I woke up and found a note on my door - that completely changed the way I felt, it was amazing.

I hope I still have some people following my blog - I apologize for the lapse of time - and hope to get better.

Keep in mind: We all find ourselves struggling, thinking all is lost - remember nothing has been lost, just important things forgotten.
