Inspired by Julie and Julia

My inspiration is the movie Julia and Julia, and rather than making me inspired to create an outfit on polyvore or photoshop, I find myself wanting to do something- like blog daily. My question to you is this: WHAT should I be blogging about daily. Sure, I could just do random posts, but I really like the idea of having a constant theme or goal. I am brainstorming what I should blog about daily- some sort of project. Let me know if you have an idea!

I am uploading a new video tonight, so I promise that I am not a huge failure when it comes to youtube videos. Irregular with posting? Sure, but not a total failure!

Alright world! Let me know if you have an idea of something you want to read on a daily basis (fashion or otherwise).

It's A Mad World

Yes, I know I am way behind the trend being that I have just gotten into Mad Men, but I am loving it right now. I love the fashion and my boyfriend loves Christina Hendricks, so we can both agree on enjoying the show together. These are a few pieces that reminded me of the show, and I think would be great to add a bit of glamour to your wardrobe. Enjoy!

Destination Dreaming

Lately, I have been dreaming of traveling. The boyfriend and I keep brainstorming of all the places we want to visit. Although it's not possible for us to go anywhere right now, a girl can dream right? This is what I imagine wearing on our plane trips around the globe!

Colorful Creations

Turquoise has always been one of my favorite colors. Ever since I was little, and could never decide between "hot pink, purple, and turquoise". With all the raving about neutrals lately, I thought I would stray from the usual and brighten your (and my) day with some much needed color. Here are some inspiring images from the interwebs that I thought were so perfectly spring worthy. What colors get you excited for the spring season?

There Are Places In The World Where People Do Not Dream

I stumbled across this through Jordan Ferney's blog- Oh Happy Day! She showcased this amazing book, which really makes you remember what life is about. I often put my dreams aside, in order to be realistic, but this book shows us that dreams are meant to be big and grand, and everything you want them to be. Although it's written for children, I think it is a perfect read for adults who need a little inspiration. To read the book, just click here!

Team Coco

I found this image on my happy little life (who found it here) and I was so glad someone had this quote. I am on Team Coco, but more importantly, I so respected him saying this. I often feel like being nice won't get me far, but making connections by being yourself, and being kind is truly the best way to get ahead. Think positively at what is to come, and look forward to each day.
