It’s not you. It’s me.
How do you break up with your blog?
I don’t know what other way to say this, but it is time to move on.

or the early 2000’s for that matter. During my winter break there was much popcorn and corny movie watching involved. It was about three in the morning, and I knew my eyes were not doing any shutting any time soon. I came across the movie “Coyote Ugly”, released in the year 2000, starring Piper Perabo, and my new #mcm, Adam Garcia. Let me just say, next time I come across the typical ice breaker “What is your favorite movie?” I will be sure to have an answer. It got to the point where while I was watching the movie, I was already squealing to my boyfriend about how it was going to be my favorite movie. I think what really won me over was the reappearance of the choker. Hence, I have declared…I want my 90s back (or its fashion at least).

There’s Violet again; this time, looking a little more confident in animal print.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays! It is the kickstart to what I like to call the Smiling Season. Everyone is so happy, and for the first time in a long time, the world takes a breathe and slows down.
November is coming to a close, and it has been about a month since I last posted something. So, I figured I would play a game of catch up. This past month, I have been inspired by so many places, people, and trends. Well, no more secrets! Here is my tell all on all things fashion.

Life has kept me pretty busy lately, but I am so thankful to have had this day to enjoy the beautiful autumn weather with my friends and family. Today, I brought out my cozy cardigan, and judging from this weather, there will be plenty more cozy cardigans to come. Stay tuned for more fall features!
Time after time, I have said that my godmother is my fashion icon. Today, she payed me a visit, and I couldn’t help her but swarm her with pictures.

All summer long, I was singing along with OneRepublic. Still, though it is August, I cannot get enough of this single! Wouldn’t be surprised if this is my “Get Ready” jam for this upcoming school year. Comment below and tell me what songs are going to help you get ready for this back to school season.
During these next two weeks, there is much to do. Vacation was fun, but now it is time to get down to work. I’m currently working on Wuthering Heights– one of my many summer assignments. Until my next post, here is a closer look at my summer and my summer style!
