Top 5 for Right Now : Winter Edition

First of all, as you look at this list of "Top 5" I am sure you will find a few of my choices to be a little crazy; but lets keep in mind that I created this Polyvore collage in the middle of the night, listening to the new One Direction album, while drinking at least a half gallon of english breakfast tea. My Saturday nights are WILD! 
Oh, to be young and free.
The combination listed above, particularly the angelic voices that belong to One Direction, have a strange effect on me. Which lead to choices 4 & 5. I decided to keep them in the list because I think it gives some honest insight to the kind of person that I am, which is strange. 
So I am going to count down on this one and address the two odd balls straight away.

5. A Top Hat; What? I don't really know to be honest. I have always found them to be pretty cool and kind of want to own one. However, I think it is pretty hard to pull off a top hat without looking like you are missing the rest of your costume. Also, I always think of the Lindsay Lohan version of Parent Trap, where the mom brings her daughter to the bridal photo shoot and they give the model a white top hat to wear with the veil. Pretty much since then I have thought they were wonderful. 

4. A giant yellow diamond engagement ring from Harry Winston. This selection I blame solely on One Direction. There is really nothing more to be said on the subject other than I am a 20 year old woman who has the love of a tween for this boy band, and there is no denying that the ring is stunning. Just let a girl dream.

3. This dress might also be a product of last night, or it might be a sincere selection because  lately I have been all about the deep V on other people. I am not really sure. I think I would look pretty good in a dress like this and would be all about strutting around my little dorm room in it, but the minute the door to room 1512 shuts behind me I would we wishing for that 10 inches of fabric to return and create the modest neckline I generally prefer to wear. Who knows, maybe this is a sign of a personal metamorphosis from grandma to a normal 20 something? (I just scored 42years old on a mental age test, by the way. Should I seek professional help or just buy the dress?)

2. Neon chunky circle scarf is a must have in my book. I love how bright neons bring freshness  and light to the dark short days of winter. Furthermore, I own a scarf just like this from H&M and as weird as this sounds, it is great for meeting guys. The brightness makes you stand out in a crowd and I guess guys feel like it is something nice to comment on. I have gone from talking to -5 men on a daily basis to at least one if I am wearing the scarf. Pretty big improvement. 

1. FUR. I love it. Sorry not sorry. I am all about the real stuff, but if your not don't fret there are many a faux fur option out there for you to drape over your shoulders. Anyway, I am in love with this coat. The power blue and that grey fur collar is enough for me to start a savings account for this beauty.

Sunday Quote Day / / On Monday


Hey Guys! 

I hope you all had as good of a weekend that I did! 
I went to the most beautiful country wedding that there may have ever been and spent a lot of time with my family. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful people as family.

So this quote also kinda goes with the weekend as well. A few people close to me, that I saw this weekend, are really hurting either physically or emotionally or both. 

I think this quote is perfect because, in a hard time people need to know that it will get better. Also, I think they should use this experience for good. Like, giving advice to a friend going through the same thing you went through. Or calling on the strength you found in your self through one situation for another different but still hard time. 

It is no easy thing to do, but still a good thing to try. I try to look ahead like this. I find it really helps. I hope it can help for you too!

iDiary: Pt. 1

Some photos from the past few weeks of my life. Not super interesting or exciting unless you're me. lol


First off, a supper huge Congratulations to my genius sister and the Class of 2013. She graduated from High School at the end of June. She is off to college in the Fall. So proud of her and excited for her as her dreams come true and she starts the next chapter of her life. Congrats Sam! 


 A few weeks before my one sister graduated from high school, my youngest sister went to junior prom as a sophomore (I am the oldest of 3 sisters). Above is "prom prep" I did her make up while my mom did her hair.


The finished look! Here she is with her date and my dad. Doesn't she look lovely even with her eyes closed?!


A slice of my back yard from home. Polar opposite of NYC, but I love both extremes. I was out in the woods looking for my dogs who decided that they were join to take themselves out for a hike. 


I did not get a tattoo, but I did get a piercing. However, the piercing selection did not provide such an instagram opportunity as the tattoo selection did. =P


I have also become quite the barista in the office. I am so proud of that drink! ^^^
