DIY

I don't often do any DIYs but I got the idea to make a fringed t-shirt. I think they go well with jean cut offs..  It is a pretty simple DIY, and I have done it before, so I am going to try it out again on my batman shirt..

I had a wonderful day! While reuniting with a friend I got my first ever, long awaited tarot deck. I have been searching for a couple of years for the perfect set, and I found a wonderful one! Here are some pictures of the cards..

 Isn't it beautiful?!

My parents are ordering me these shoes (Dolce Vita Jacquie Buckled Clog) for my birthday, which is on Thursday! (But I celebrated it with my family tonight, since I am going back to Portland, it was great!) I have been pining over these for a while.. ^-^

I can't wait!!!

I hope you are having a great day, and have an excellent weekend!!

Brittani - Cycle 16 ANTM

I have been watching the new cycle of America's Next Top Model.. and every episode since the make-overs I keeping being amazed by how stunning Brittani looks.. The way they cut her hair is so fabulous! eep! I really can't get over it..

disenchanted

I have been trying to find something interesting to do a post about, but while looking around blogs and trying to think of something I have become more and more disenchanted by everything I have stumbled upon.. So I will share Pogo's latest video with you because it was the first thing I looked at this evening, and was by far the most intriguing, even if it is not his best song yet...

enjoy

I have been feeling pretty awful due to my wisdom teeth surgery earlier this week.. I am actually going in to the dentist to make sure things are healing up right.. anyways.. Hopefully you have an amazing week!

a wonderful day

Today I had an amazing day filled with bellydance.. My best friend, Emily, and I went to our favorite bellydance teacher's class, where we ran into one of our other bellydance friends. We ended up learning a choreography and dancing it that afternoon at the winter recital! It was so much fun, and I loved watching all the other choreographies and dancers ^-^

Bellydancers are so beautiful.. 

I wish I could dress like Rachel Brice does everyday..

Hope you are having a fantastic weekend!

Yesterday I got my wisdom teeth out! Yuck! I have been very loopy and dizzy today and yesterday.. It is much warmer now than it has been which is so nice! I cant wait for summery days without the need to layer sweaters and sweatshirts and jackets.. ^-^ I am excited for summery hats, I have never been big into hats but I think a straw hat would be the perfect add on to a simple summery look!
