Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween! Here are some #tbt photos from my past Halloweens.

Believe it or not, cover art is what gets me to read a book-that and the title. So when I go to Barnes & Noble I scour the isles for the best looking books, pick them up and read the jacket. This method usually works 50% of the time. So here are some books from my last trip to the bookstore that I am dying to read.

Preppy iPhone Backgrounds

Below are my all time favorite prepster iPhone backgrounds. I know it might sound dumb, but I since I am such an aesthetic person, I love having the perfect iPhone background. It can't be too busy but it has to be decorated a certain way. Did I miss any of your favorites?
A note: None of these are my images. If you are the owner of one of these images and would like it to be taken down, please just let me know.

My Jewelry Area

From past blog entries, you can probably guess that I'm not that much of a jewelry person. However, I do own some and what I do own, I hate putting away. It's so pretty and it makes me happy (even if I don't know how to pair it) so I like to keep it on display. I had this metal "h" from UO for so long and I finally figured out I could put it to use, so that is where I hang my necklaces. My bracelets (which I seem to have an infinite amount of) go on a little tree-branch system I bought for $7 at TJ Maxx, I then have two cups (that I made myself) that hold my rings/pins and sample perfume. The little black box holds special jewelry made for me by my Grand-Mama (the box she bought me in China).

Lots of girls have their favorite nail polish brand, and mine is Essie. If the color isn't one of Essie's I don't want it. There is something about the texture and their colors that make me happy. Below are some of my all time favorites. What are yours?
