After a bit of an absence from blogging, I wrote a post yesterday about my prom dress and was so surprised this morning to see that someone nominated me for a Versatile Blogger Award! This award is basically an opportunity for bloggers to let each other know that they are doing a good job sharing interesting/high quality stuff. So many thanks to acoriginals (whom you can find at http://acoriginals.wordpress.com/) for nominating me!

As recipient of this award, I have two tasks to complete- first, to nominate 15 other bloggers that I think deserve the award. So here they are:

My second job is to share 7 things about me, so here goes:

Writing has been my favorite thing to do for as long as I can remember. I used to write stories when I was five or six, and I would type them, print them, and illustrate them. I kept them in a folder to get “published” at a later time…because I thought it was just that easy.
By spending five seconds on my blog, you would be able to tell that I have a thing for unicorns. But did you also know that I have a thing for anything British?? Music, books, people… I’m pretty sure the only British thing I’m not into is Doctor Who (sorry, Whovian friends).
I play guitar and ukulele because life is too boring without music.
I’m learning how to speak German in school, and I’m going to Germany this summer…which I am SO excited about!!
I want to be a journalist. Possibly work for a fashion magazine. I think this blog is a pretty good place to start.
I’m super inspired by hippies… well my fashion sense is, anyway.
I should be studying for my AP exams next week. So I’m gonna go do that now. Yeah…

Thanks again to acoriginals for the nomination!!

Keep it classy

Hair, Outfit of the day

Yes, it’s true! I went to prom! And it just so happened that prom fell on my birthday, so I basically had a huge celebration with a bunch of my friends (and with a bunch of people I’d never seen before in my life). And of course I had to share what I wore…

I didn’t want a dress that would blend in with everyone else’s empire-waisted, jewel toned gowns with cutouts or rhinestoned busts. And I refused to wear a strapless dress that I would have to keep pulling up all night. So I looked for my favorite elegant detail and got this fabulous lace dress:

I went for a boho, ethereal-ish look and I think my messy braid pretty much helped pull it off. And I kept it a little exciting with some bright teal shoes.

The dress is from Stalli, and the shoes are from Rue 21… when I saw them, I could not say no to getting them!! I was so comfortable the whole night. I was so happy with my dress choice, and I’m even more excited that I got a dress (and shoes) that I’ll be able to wear again.

Prom also got me thinking about how much I love high heels and how fabulous it would be to have them be a part of my daily wardrobe. I may start to transition low heels into my look. So keep an eye out for that…

And please, DON’T be like the girls dancing promiscuously at prom…

KEEP IT CLASSY!!
