neck-ccessories!

  


Alright pardon the extremely cliche play on words up there! But have you seen these things yet?! At first I was a little weary; I thought the false collars looked really strange and I couldn't imagine myself ever wearing one. Now I see them everywhere in magazines, on blogs, in fashion shows... But not in my own closet. That is about to change. This DIY version of the collars is to die for! I can't wait to experiment with beads, diamonds, & studs. What are your favorite versions of this super simple DIY fashion neck-ssential? (Sorry, I couldn't resist!)

craving vacation!!

Even though the strange Ohio weather has today produced a 50 degree day, I am still desperately needing a vacation! I want need to go somewhere tropical, not only because of the warmth and "tropical-ness"... But the fashion! Everything is different when you head south. Layering and funky winter boots turn into chiffon, silks, drapes, and sexy sandals! Here are some drool-worthy pictures from some of my favorite blogs to keep me happy sane... for now.

rory beca

New (to me) designer alert! I recently discovered Rory Beca's collection for Forever 21, and needless to say I fell in love. I looked at her other collections online, and you can find her designs just about everywhere! Stores such as Barneys New York, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth, and even Forever 21 all carry items from her line! If you are dying to know more, go to her website and find out where you can find your very own Rory Beca masterpieces!

it's the weekend...finally!

TGIF is such an understatement right now! This week was longer than an Alaskan winter! The best way to celebrate? Homework and blogging of course! Blogging a tad bit more though, of course... If your weather is anything like mine, your week went form t-shirts and jeans in 60 degree weather to layers upon layers upon layers in 20 degrees. Did I suddenly move to Antarctica?! If you are feeling cold and dreary and just want to snuggle up with a cozy blanket and some hot chocolate while looking at something awesome, look no further. Here are some pictures I found to be pretty fantastic throughout the week! Enjoy & remember to bundle up!

new name

I just knew that everyone was getting used to the blog and all of its contents, so to be extra special I am switching things up a bit! So, what better way to do so than change my blog's name! My beautiful beau Tarek came up with name Her Sojourn. Since I had no idea what a "sojourn" was, I looked it up! For any other curious minds out there, it is an expedition, adventure, or a spiritual journey. How perfect! Life itself is a spiritual journey, and my recent adventure into fashion is most definitely spiritual in my bank account! I will be posting about the page on my Facebook, so anyone who didn't catch the memo here on Blogger can catch it there. Thanks everyone and catch you on the flip-side...or URL!

musical muse

It's Monday. Absolutely nothing to be excited about; no weekend, no time away from homework, no fun. Now, there's music Monday!! How excited are you?! I know, I can barely contain myself writing this. So, what better way to start off a dreary, blustery, cold winter day in Ohio than some Bon Iver?

You are all welcome.

diy-nspiration

I found this post on a pair & a spare and I absolutely fell in love! How simple?! My next must-find item in the thrift store is definitely a silky skirt like this. Alter the hem, attach a chain, and wallah! Instant Givenchy! Not to mention you will save around $3,000!

happy new year!

Making resolutions is one thing that I am good really good at! Keeping them? Not so much. Every year I solemnly vow to work out more and lose weight, eat better, get more sleep, etc. etc. This year, I am writing them down for the world to see so that I might have a chance of keeping them! All anyone needs is a little encouragement, right?! 



Be Happy- love more, get more sleep, eat better, and generally smile more! Life is too short to be filled with 
unnecessary anger and tears! 
Be Healthy- cut out some junk food, eat healthier, take vitamins everyday, and work out 3-5 times a week to get back to your ideal weight. :)
Be Smart- study everyday possible and make Dean's List this quarter!
Be Motivated- post at least two times a week, find a weekend job to save up for items on your "lust list", and keep your room clean and organized.
Be Fashionable-  grow your hair out and be more outgoing when it comes to dressing for class! (Think: Miranda Kerr)
Be Adventurous- travel as much as possible, discover new music artists/bands, try new foods, and meet new people!

What are your resolutions this year? Comment below with your lists and we can all try to help each other stick to them!
