HELP!

So lately I've noticed that I haven't been getting comments to my posts, and that people have stopped following me. And I can't figure out why. I never had many of either one, so each was a little precious to me. There was a while where life got so hectic, that I didn't blog for a while, but now that I am, it seems no one really cares. Almost like people liked me or the blog better when I wasn't here that often. To me, that is confusing, so if it is something that I am doing, i.e. my writing, posting, the layout, pictures, ect., will you guys who actually read this let me know? Please?

And in the future, don't be afraid to leave a comment, even if you are just passing by. Tell your friends about this blog, spread the word. I would like to get some sponsors on here (maybe giveaways, too), but that won't happen if I am not reaching enough people. I am willing to do my part, and improve, but it is a little hard when I don't know what to improve. So, go ahead, don't be shy, comment (I promise I don't bite)

Happy Valentines Day

Truthfully, I'm not much of a fan of Valentine's Day. Not because I think the point of the day is stupid - for a hopeless romantic like me, there's no problem with a day that celebrates love. But rather because how over-the-top it is. This year, however, I decided to join in the fun and wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day with some pictures from weheartit.com. Hope you have a fune, love-filled day!

2 fav things

Just saw this picture and had to share it. It contains two of my favorite things - The Beatles and Paris.

Snow... Finally (And Happy Weekend)

We finally got the snow storm I've been waiting for! These photos of early this morning. It had just stopped, and an hour after, it started snow again! Fiona had fun playing in the snow (especially chasing snowballs). She got excited when she saw me pull out her sweater because she knew we were going out (sometimes I wonder if she likes the snow as much as I do).

This weekend is going to be filled with hot coco, fires, and tons of movies!

What will your weekend be like?

Winter Style Inspiration

You know those days where you stand in front of your closet and can't come up with a single thing to wear? I had one of those days today. For some inspiration, I headed to the blogasphere and took to Polyvore (haven't heard of it? Polyvore is a site that has tons of "cut out clothes", shoes, jewelry, ect., for you to piece together different outfits. It's like playing dress up dolls- something I never did when I was younger, and now do it all the time.)

I needed something for winter since it is so cold it hurts to go outside! This is what I came up with. The links to the pieces are below if you want - or can afford, to buy them (lucky you!)

I personally love the vintage rings! And you can never beat a warm cardigan, skinny jeans, and those fab knee- high boots. The coat is a little Kate Middleton-esq, which is perfect because I love her princess-to-be style.

Hope this can inspire you to create some outfits, too!

Listening To

I first heard The Avett Brothers on my favorite radio station (it plays mostly alternative and older rock - think the Beatles mixed with Nekko Case and Wilco). I automatically fell in love with them, but missed the name of the band, so I couldn't find the artist. Then, a couple of months later, they popped up on my Pandora Account, and I've since bought their album and added them to my Pandora.

Drawn by the naked honesty of their songs, their magic soon encompassed me. That magic is abundantly evident in I and Love and You. The Avett Brothers' songs are delivered in a style that can not be pigeonholed, but might be described as a rootsy amalgam of folk, country, bluegrass, rock and pop – even a jab of punk-style dynamics here and there.

I hope You are cast under their spell also!

Snow Withdrawl

I love snow. but not just snow - winter in general. it has to be the best time of year.

Think about it- the fashion is great, then there's the snuggling up next to the fire with a good book and a cup of steaming hot coco (and maybe your someone, if you have one). And of course, the holidays- the excuse to eat sweets all day and travel back home or go somewhere else, the feeling of seeing those you love and remembering why we are here.

And, if you are lucky enough, the weather. Last year the snow just kept coming. I must have been the only one I knew that loved it, and to my elation, we were expected to get about the same winter again. But, sadly, this year we have not. Yesterday it was supposed to snow buckets, and all we got was ice, so right now I am in snow withdrawl.

To better my spirits, I went searching for snow pics and found these on weheartit.com. Enjoy!

And one of me on the White Christmas we had at my aunt's this year.
