First ever "Double Sunday" !

So last week I introduced "Double Sundays" to the readers of this blog.
But I totally slacked last week and didn't do it. Sorry !
Basically, every Sunday I'll make a list of TWO (hense, double) favorites for that week for music, books, blogs, diys, and outfits. So here goes my first one !

Music:
My two favorite songs for the week would probably have to be

-Eyes Open by Taylor Swift

&

-Woman Like You by Lee Brice

Books:

-Two words: Hunger. Games. I read them over again before seeing the movie on Thursay night.

-The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks. Nicholas Sparks is my favorite writer, and I love his books, but I also hate them. They can be so tragic and have me balling but he wraps a beautiful bow of love around it (and I'm a sucker for love) and so I love all of his books. This one was no exception. I recommend it if you're looking for a good cry.

Blogs:

-Kinsey on Sincerelykinsey. Can I just say that I discovered her blog last weekend, and I've already been through half of it's contents ! (I hope that didn't sound creepy) Her diy's and fashion posts inspired the heck out of me, and she is so incredibally beautiful. I highly recommend checking her out !

-Charity on Somedreamingtree / c'est la belle vie. I look forward to her outfit posts so much. Everyday I check my dashboard hoping to see her beautiful face in a beautiful new outfit. Follow her, follow her now.

Diy's: 

-This Jewelry Box Diy made from a book ! Discovered it yesterday, and started making one yesterday. Just need to cut out a few hundred more pages.

-This Geometric Necklace Diy made from cut-up paint samples ! I've always had a secret obsession with paint samples. I've always thought it was so cool that they were free and that there must be some amazing thing you could do with them. Well, boys and girls, this is it. (Both of these beautiful tutorials are by Sincerelykinsey, who I mentioned above.)

Outfits:

These two girls are such an inspiration for me. I love every outfit I see them in ! And the shirts they're both wearing are to. die. for.

So I hope you guys enjoyed this double sunday !

No pictures or videos are mine unless otherwise mentioned.

Stay tuned for more outfits this week !

Forever, Becca ♥ 

Hunger games

So I went to the midnight showing of the hunger games and let me just say, IT WAS PERFECT.
I'm so serious, I have read each of the books a couple times and I'm pretty much obsessed with it. I've been waiting so long, and I was expecting way too much of the movie. But you know what ? It was way better than I could have ever dreamed. They hit everything on the nose. Yes, there were things they changed, but I could tell they only did it because it would make it too confusing, and it still flowed pretty well. And they didn't make any big changes, really. Everything worked perfectly together.
Pretty much, this is my new favorite movie. That is all.

Oh and I didn't have time this week to make a hunger games shirt, so I wore a sparkly gold shirt that I thought could represent fire or something. And I of course wore my hair braided and I wore a necklace with a gold bird on it and a pearl. I thought that worked. I listened to safe and sound all day. It was such a perfect movie guys, I just can't get over how much I loved it. Every time I see the trailer I want to go see it again and again and again.

Have you seen the hunger games yet ? What did you think of it ? (:

Happy St. Patty's Day (Outfit Post)

Outfit:

-Olive green cardigan // Target

-Navy floral print tank top // Target

-Distressed jeans // An outdoor swapmeet

-Belt // Target

(And I'm shown wearing two different pairs of shoes which I will explain, promise !)

-Ankle fringe mocasins // Minetonka

-Oxfords // Target

-Owl necklace // Forever21

By the outfit shown, I'm sure you've guessed I love Target. I love Target an awful lot, actually.

Anyway, it rained today ! When you live in the desert like I do, and it can get up to 90 degrees during the winter, you learn to enjoy these rare rainy days. My favorite type of weather is rainy and stormy (minus the wind), so today was perfect. I often dream about living in a place where rain is a daily occurance, like Washington. I would absolutely love that. Anyway, my mom took pictures of me in the rain, and that's why I changed into my oxfords, because they're leather and I didn't want my moccasins to get ruined. I also have no idea why my belt is unbuckeled in one of the pictures. I think it got uncomfortable or something. Maybe it'll turn into the new trend, eh ?

I hope you all had a fun (but not too fun ;p) St. Patrick's Day!

Remember to look for my "Double Sunday" tomorrow !

Forever, Becca

New blog ideas

Okay guys.
So I am definitely not the best at keeping up with anything, including this blog, without something to look forward to ! I'm just like incapable of it, and I'm sorry.

So, I'm going to add some weekly things, and some things that will be semi-weekly, etc.

I brainstormed today, and I've come up with a couple ideas.

1) Tutorial Tuesdays.
-I've seen some of these around, and it's a beautiful idea. So every Tuesday (mostly) I will post some kind of tutorial on here ! I already have some ideas lined up and I'm super excited (:
2) Double Sundays.
-Don't take my word on this, but I'm pretty sure I came up with this all on my own. Every Sunday I will post a list of TWO (hence "double") favorites for a list of, say, 5 examples. (Songs, celebrities, diy's, outfit posts, etc.)

So that's all I've really come up with, but if you have any ideas, I strongly encourage you to comment them below ! As you all know, I'm new in the blogger world and it makes me nervous at times ! (:

Thanks ladies !

Forever, Becca ♥

P.S. Check out my outfit post from last night ! I posted it late, so you probably haven't seen it yet

Mini outfit post //

Outfit goes as followed:

-Lace cream colored shirt // Thrifted

-High wasted skinny jeans // Cotton on

-Oxfords // Target

-Owl necklace (not pictured) // Macies

I apologize that these pictures aren't the best, I didn't have my beautiful mom for a photographer ! I took these pictures myself, with my ipod, and a camera app I had to download just for this so I could use a timer. I took about fifty pictures and these were the only two that were remotely alright, and that's saying a lot ! Lesson learned, next time I wait for my mom.

Anyway, on the particular day I wore this, I was *scary music* locked out of the house ! That's right, I am a latchkey kid. I switched bags that morning and I guess I forgot to switch my key with my school supplies, so this resulted in me sitting in the backyard (Bladder full and starving, mind you) for two hours until my mom got home from work. So I will not be forgetting my key again anytime soon.

So I hope you like this outfit, I kind of put it together last minute, but I got lots of compliments on my shirt & I love it quite a bit myself. When I thrifted it, it wasn't something I would normally wear, so I kind of went out on a limb there ! But I'm glad, fashion risks are just apart of the job. (:

What I wore //

 

I wore this outfit on Sunday to Church, and I'm absolutely head over heels for it !!

Especially the skirt and top. I found the top at a garage sale last Saturday for a buck ! It just can't get any better than that. And the skirt was purchased at Target with gift cards from my birthday. I love the bright color and I love that it goes down to my knees !

P.S. Thanks to my mommy for the beautiful photography <3

Anyway, outfit goes as followed:

-Shirt // garage sale

-Cardigan // My mom's

-Skirt + matching belt // Target

-Tights // Target or Walmart

-Shoes // Styles for less

Have a lovely day !

Forever, Becca
