Happy 2012

So many beautiful memories come to mind when I think about 2012. Right now, I'm feeling blessed and happy. I had a small but happy holiday week. It was a simple day. I love all the holiday movies. It's a tradition to go to the movies. My mom and I were dying to see Les Miserables. It was so worth all the hype.

I'm not going to post details of what I got but I did spoiled myself with some money I received. I adore post-holiday sales. I'm waiting for January when all the boots and coats go on sale. I truly enjoy the thrill of finding an item that I waited patiently to buy. Sometimes, I even buy little trinkets for friends or myself that I will enjoy looking at inside my bedroom. I'm attracted to pretty little things, which makes me a compulsive shopper. I go to a store for one small thing and leave with ten. I'm going to work on controlling my spending next year.

Things I bought:
Bath and Body Work lotion, Pink Turban from Forever 21 and a small purple cupcake coin bank.



 EOS lipbalm, L'Oreal Paris Lipstick, Maybelline NY FitMe Foundation.



Cheers for the end of the year!

Changing

Too busy to post anything deep and meaningful but I'm flying off the Atlanta for the next few days. Time for me to pack my bags! Not quite sure what to do, so if anyone has visited, please share what I should not miss a chance to see.

Taking the time to snap a few pictures of what in inside my purse right now.

I really do carry my Stabilo pens everywhere. They are perfect to jot down little notes and doodles. Just a few basics, such as, jewelry, phone, music, headphones, wallet, gum, and my purse. I just need a few magazines and a small notebook.  Bye bye Ladies and Gents!

ps.  I still get nervous, every time I visit a new city.

Multicolored Dreams

Remember being a child and dreaming about finding a pot of gold around the rainbow? Or if you were a 90's child you fantasized about Skittles falling from the sky.  At dinner, we all talk about seeing a rainbow for the first time.  I recalled that a young girl brought up that she has never seen one to me when I was about 12 or 13. I wonder if she ever found one.

I went downtown Omaha, to see the debut of the rainbow. It's a giant mist sprayer that reflects a rainbow over the top of the Bemis building.  Science and art coming together to become something playful and inspiring. Also you get soaking wet!  Perfect for the extreme heat, I would recommend checking it out you're coming to Omaha!

Better Girl

Happy Wednesday dear readers! Oh, I've been working on some things this week. I've been a little busy to respond and read everyone's blog post. I've added a few tunes to this summer playlist on my Spotify account. What have you've been listening to lately?

The New Year

I've realized that I suck at planning. Come New Years Eve, I had nowhere to go. So I stuck around my house drinking cheap wine and passing time on tumblr. I watched the ball drop along with the family, but I do not have any regrets from that night. It made me smile thinking about where I was last year and how much I've grown into an adult.
During that night, I wondered what could happen during 2012? Will this be my big year? I'm not one to share private thoughts but I want to get working on my resolutions. I feel a need to share some below.

Outfit details: Top- Gap(old), tank-random store, leggings- random store, boots- Fossil (here), 

jewelry- bracelet-shopko and earrings-gift.

Some of my resolutions for 2012:
1. I'm trying to gain more confidence this year. It's time I stop being timid around strangers and become more open towards different things.
2.Post one outfit a week. I'm convinced I can do this. I haven't done a proper outfit post in a long time. I took a few today!  Also I want to post more of my writing on the blog.
3.Be positive. Not everything is perfect and time will make things better. Also I want to go out and smile more.
4. Finally, buy a designer bag. I'm not going to lie, this one seems to be selfish. But I want to indulge myself after working to hard to finish my degree.

Share with me your own resolutions. Maybe we can help each other.  Thanks again for all your support during 2011 and continue throughout 2012.
