love/hate

These past weeks have really been a whirlwind, from my day(s) with teen.com TV, blogging for Alloy, school, organizing school spirit wear, auditioning, casting, organizing, and directing a one-act play, and living life in the spare moments I have. I decided to take some time to look around my room and capture what I'm loving and/or hating right now.

LOVE: Yummy candles.

Banana Republic candle in Fireside lounge. When I did a yoga shoot for teen.com TV (more on that later!), we used this and they gave to me for keeps! I haven't lit it in my room yet, but it still gives off the best aroma and makes my room so homey!

HATE: Favorite Boots Falling Ill.

I'm sure you remember my riding boots. Yeah, well, they're dead. The zipper on the right one broke, the snap on the left one is unattached, the pleather is narsty, and they just look generally dead.

LOVE: Replacing Said Dead Boots!

I went to Nordstrom Rack and found these perfect replacements to last me through the remainder of the season and next season. They're like the deceased boot's hotter twin sis!

HATE/LOVE: Endless Stacks of (free!) Magazines.

Includes Nylon, Self, Cosmo, Interview, Teen Vogue, Glamour, etc....

Sure, I love magazines. But I get a new one everyday, and I can't keep up! The pile by my bed keeps growing and I'm moving at a much slower pace reading them. Maybe over spring break I can just dig in and clear the stack on my nightstand.

LOVE: My New Umbrella!

How cute is this little bugger? It's from Target. I'm so excited to use it on a dreary, dark day...Lily (that's what I named her) will brighten up everyone's mood!

HATE: (accidentally) Ripped Tights.

GAH! I rip so many tights...the tear in these was a surprise though. Ugh, it was the passed boots' fault.

LOVE: Funky Foreign Bags.

My cousin bought me this in Vietnam. It was handmade by these women who sell them on top of beautiful mountains!

Wait, there's more!

See part two here.
