This poster will definitely appeal to the scientifically-minded special someone in your life.
But, also to anyone who loves good design. I adore the type on this poster. Perfection.

Everything will be okay.

I wouldn’t mind waking up cuddled up in this blanket every morning.
Maybe it would convince me to not hit the snooze button for the fourth time in a row!

Daily Outfit: Feeling Fancy!

Possible

I’m going out with some of my favorite girls tonight. There might be a few drinks & dancing involved. So, I thought I’d try to spice things up a touch. I’m usually a pretty plain Jane. My “going out” outfit usually consists of jeans, a cute top, & flats. I don’t typically do heels. So, this is a big step for me! What do you think?

Top: GAP
Skirt: Old Navy
Black tights: I don’t remember, to be honest.
Shoes: Isaac Mizrahi for Target

It sort of still feels like it’s not finished. Do you think a belt or something should be added?

Finals Week Inspired Outfit.

{For more information about any of the above items, click here.}

This being finals week at my university, I have been doing a lot of studying & paper writing. All of this school-related activity (along with my need to distract myself from actually doing work) has got me thinking about what my ideal “on campus” uniform would be. So, I put together a little set on Polyvore. It was initially inspired by that beautiful brown leather messenger bag! I kind of really think I need it. And, I’m definitely a cardigan fiend; so this outfit is close to what you might see me in if you ran into me on campus! So, what would your ideal campus outfit look like?

Fifty People, One Question.

I really, really like this video. There is just something about the reality of stopping strangers on the streets to try to make a connection with them that warms my little heart right up & makes the world seem just a bit smaller.

So, you know I have to ask, what do you wish would happen by the end of the day? For me, I wish that I could get everything accomplished that needs to be accomplished & that I would end the day a little bit better in some small way. (Oh, and world peace! Heh.)
