Belated Birthday Present from LaLaLaurynnn

My friend Lauryn, aka Lalalaurynnn, has been assuring me that my birthday present is on the way, and I kept forgetting about it, but it finally came, and I LOVE IT! She is so cute... she custom ordered me a necklace from Sparkle Peach's Etsy. All I can say is, it was absolutely perfect for a 21st birthday present. I'll leave the rest up to pictures.

Now go check out Sparkle Peach's Etsy, because everything in it is SO cute!!!

Birthday Wish List.

I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but I always have the hardest time thinking of things ahead of time for "wish lists", and then sure enough a month before my birthday/Christmas I can think of a million things! SO I thought it might be a fun post to forward to family members and friends who may be looking for ideas, of course. ;-) But really, this is just me living my online shopping fantasy life, so forgive and bare with me!

First thing's first... Wouldn't be a wish list without some Steve Madden.

1) THE STEVE MADDEN FLORALE's! Size 9, Champagne Suede!
2) The Steve Madden Toppazz- Size 9, Black or Gray Suede (Red would also be perfectly acceptable) *Mom, Dad- if you're reading this, clearly this is a perfect business woman shoe*


To add to the collection...

3) Lolita "21" Martini Glass
4) Lolita "Las Vegas" Martini Glass

5,6,7) DELIA'S GIFTCARDS! Have not shopped here in forever, who knew they had such fun dresses!!

Just for the sake of keeping the theme of the birthday...

8) Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc
9) Jack Daniels
10) Absolut Citron

(Lord knows I can't afford this stuff myself!)


From the Macy's website...

11) Kathy Van Zeeland Handbag, Triple Play Satchel, Medium in Steel Zebra (Can't keep myself away from Kathy!!!)
12) Viva La Juicy Perfume (Have not actually tried this myself, but I've heard such great things about it that I know I'd love it.)

And last, but certainly not least... ETSY!

13) Silver Metal Seahorse Necklace (Here)- $22, ExpressionsByCheree
14) Puffed Love Necklace (Here)- $15, LillyQueen
15) Wide Awake Owl Watch Necklace (Here)- $11.99, LoveSpellJewels

Alright, Alright. That's enough wishful thinking for one night. Are any of you on Spring Break this week or doing anything fun? Mine starts Thursday night, but since I only have two classes in between now and then and no major obligations, I'd like to think I'm on break now :-) Nothing too fancy for me this year- probably just visiting my dad in Chicago, maybe watching my little brother swim another State meet in Indy, and home to good old Southern Indiana for a bit!

(And as a side note, STILL open to Little Mermaid and Alice in Wonderland on DVD. I've been trying to hint for these for years and no luck thus far!!!)

It's Here! It's Here!

How very typical of me... I go for days with nothing interesting to post or any good outfits, and suddenly, everything blog worthy happens at once! To spread it out I'll be doing a few posts the next few days that should have some pretty decent content, so be sure to stop back by! (And keep reading to the bottom for a link to a fellow blogger's giveaway!)

But first thing's first. MY 'GET KEYED' NECKLACE FROM CHEWLRY on ETSY FINALLY CAME! Yayy! I believe she mailed it out Friday, so it was pretty quick, and I love it!!! Plus, it came in the cutest little package and handwritten note, so I had to post pictures of that. Her Etsy is linked above, so be sure to check that out.

(I don't think I ever realized how many little lines I had on my hands... is this normal?)

(In its final resting place on the gold/bronze hook of my necklace collection!)

I can't wait to pair it with an outfit, so I'll be busy thinking of some good purple pieces to accentuate the little rhinestones.

One more thing for this post, is that a lovely blogger by the name of Alix Darling is doing a giveaway of the book "How to Be Lovely: The Audrey Hepburn Way of Life". So definitely go check her out, she's worth a follow! (Also, I'm partial to the spelling "Alix", as that is how one of my best friends has spelled my name for years, at first on accident. I used to go by that spelling before college, and a few people even still spell it that way!)

Coming Soon: A post for Much Love's Much Love Monday that I'm going to combine with an idea from Butterfly Cupcakes and Daffodils (She's where I found the Much Love link), as well as another idea from Style Nirvana, an outfit post, and maybe more!!!!

Busy Week, Bad Metal, and Buys!

What a busy week it has been. No good outfits. As a matter of fact, hardly any time to even get dressed... I've been running uncharacteristically late to most things this week. But thank goodness it's the weekend, and hopefully that will bring something more exciting to talk about.

I was a little disappointed that we merely brushed over Motley Crue, Guns N Roses, etc, in History of Rock. Now, I understand none of them really made any significant contribution stylistically to the way anything was really done, but I sure as hell think they embody the Rock n Roll lifestyle. We did, however, get to spend almost an entire hour and a half listen to and watching videos of some of the worst "Death" and "Thrash" Metal I've ever heard in my life. Not that I really like any kind of metal... and even though Crue/GnR are considered "Glam Metal", they're far from what metal really is.

I kid you not... at one point we talked about a band called Mayhem, who was from either Norway or Sweden or one of those places up there, who burnt down these old beautiful churches to try to rid their country of religion. Crazy, right? Well, tack on the fact that one band member killed himself in the apartment of another, who then supposedly made soup out of his brain and necklaces out of his skull and took pictures of the dead body that they later used on an album cover. But don't worry, because another band member ended up murdering that guy anyways. I mean seriously... who wants to listen to THAT when you could be hearing all the wild Crue stories? Because believe me, go pick up a copy of The Dirt, TommyLand, or The Heroin Diaries, and you will realize there are plenty.

Basically left that class wishing I could have back that hour of my life. Oh well. I guess at least it wasn't completely boring... at least our professor is hilarious. Lots of one liners, but my favorite from this class was, as we are listening to Van Halen's "RUNNING WITH THE DEVIL", "They were radio friendly... nothing satanic about these guys!" Yeah, I mean, not counting the running with the devil part. Though I guess Eddie Van Halen and his parachute pants really aren't that threatening at all, so we get where he's coming from.

In fashion news, I just ordered this adorable bronze and purple "Get Keyed" necklace from Chewlry's Etsy Shop. I'm so excited! I've been wanting to buy it for practically a month since she listed it, and my darling mommy bought it for me for a Valentine's present! I'll obviously have lots of pictures up of that when it comes. Wish I had some now but I forgot to save them before I bought it and hence the post was removed. I'm sure a monster has been let loose now that I have an Etsy account, but at least I don't really HAVE any money to spend, so I guess it may not be much of an issue.

Hope everyone has been having a good week and has a great weekend... it's strangely 45 degrees here, but we're also expecting some other big winter storm in a few days? So I don't really know what's going on with Bloomington.
