Let the Countdown Begin!

Hello everyone! I hope February has started out well for everyone. So far mine is great, and I am getting so excited for Valentine's Day! Well, actually the day after. I have school and work all day so the 15th will be my date day. This post is for the dateless as well as the girls with a date!

I know some people hate Valentine's Day, but I think that maybe they need to look into some new possibilities so that V-Day doesn't suck so bad. Here's some great ideas for if you don't have a date:
1: Have a dinner and a movie with your friends! Even if you don't have a guy in your life, your girls love you. Go out with them for the night!
2: Set up a Secret Santa: Valentine's Edition between your friends. Everybody draws a random name and you surprise that friend with a gift. The point is to keep the gift-giver a secret!
3: You and your friends can also spend time together doing cute nail art or making accessories (Like friendship bracelets!)
4: You're a strong independent woman, so spoil yourself! Make some sweet treats or give yourself a pedicure. Or if you have the money, go get the mani-pedi. You don't need others to have a good time.
5: Make yourself a Valentine's card. This works better if you do it before the big day, that way you can open it on that day as a pick me up. (Tell yourself how beautiful you are!

Next up: What to wear to your date and what to do with your Valentine if you don't have a date idea!

Paris Blues

Hello everyone! I just wanted to do a quick post so you all could see these AMAZING photos from Allison Harvard's Instagram. Shot by Bryan Kong.


For anyone who doesn't know who Allison Harvard is, she was runner up on two seasons of America's Next Top Model. The first time in cycle 12, and she was also on America's Next Top Model All Stars. She was a very shy contestant, but was well known for her creepy eyes. (She was also well known on 4chan as "creepy chan") She did have a good knowledge of the fashion industry and was very talented. She also paints, and you can buy her art on Etsy. For more information, just google her!


Allison Harvard has always been one of my favorite models from ANTM, and I love everything she does. When I saw this it took my breath away, and I can't wait to see more!
What do you think? Who are some of your favorite models?

PS: Sorry about the quality, I imagine they looked much better prior to being posted on Instagram.

Forever 21+ Winter Commercial


Forever 21+ is probably my absolute most favorite thing in the world. Not only is it made for me and my curvy sisters, but it fits, and it's cute! (Bonus: Doesn't take my whole paycheck to buy one shirt) Usually, plus size clothing is so blah. We get stuck wearing boring clothes with killer shoes and accessories, because they'll fit anyways. It's a little frustrating really, but if there's one place that gets it, it's Forever 21+.
Today, I ordered some more things online from the store, and then decided to check out the blog. This video was featured, so I had to see it. I really like it. It's just like anyone else's commercial campaign, but it's for big girls. I think this store (and the others who are starting to sell plus size) are going to help people realize the huge market there is for plus sized women. I think that someday, fashion really will see all bodies as beautiful.

What do you all think? Do you have a favorite place to shop (it doesn't have to be plus-sized!)

A Big XXI Box!

Today I came home to this big box from Forever 21!!


I ordered some stuff online a little while ago, because my boyfriend gave me a $100 gift card for Christmas! (I never would've thought he could afford this.) The box just came in and I was so excited! I'm probably wearing some of it tomorrow. Read more for the rest of the pictures!

Also, I would like to apologize for the short posts, it's going to be very scarce now that I'm at school. My classes are gonna be tough!!

Time for a Change

I love pink. I love it a lot. However, a lot of people really had no clue that my hair has been pink for the past month or so. Why? I hated it. I had an image in my head, and it came out the opposite. I never took many pictures of it, I just wasn't fond. I did take a few pictures, which are here for you to see so that you can understand my change.





So, because I hated it, I ordered something a little different. See the journey in the pictures below, and see how I went from pink to this:

Subtle Sequins



 Who love sequins? Everyone! Are they easy to wear on a regular day? No. I wouldn't say so. Unless we do with this look here.

You can take any sequin dress or tank top and put a slightly open-knit sweater over it and viola! Sequins are an everyday thing. The little bit of sparkle always gets attention and the sweater keeps things from being a little too sparkly (which is never good.) I pair mine with jeans or leggings and boots usually, but it's flexible enough to do anything! Play with girly pink sequins, sex red ones, or just black. This look is all about you!

Sweater: American Eagle; Sequin top: Charolette Russe; Jeans: Forever 21+; Purse: H&M; Lipstick: Maybelline Superstay in Ravishing Rouge

And the 2013 color of the year is...



Emerald! Pantone has declared Emerald as the 2013 color of the year. It's been called Lively, radiant, and lush. Expect to see a LOT of this color this year.

Don't believe me? Last year, they declared Tangerine Tango as the color of the year, and it was everywhere! Lipsticks, dresses, tights, everything was tangerine and orange. This year, we're going almost to the opposite of the color wheel. Need some inspiration? Here's some great emerald colored pieces - and expect to see more! (To see the collage, read on)

Take Two: The Start of a New Year

Let me first say, I'm sorry I was gone for so long. My life had gotten extremely busy with school and work. Now, I've decided to start again. I hope it goes well this time!

Anyways, happy new year to anyone who continues reading and to whatever new readers I get! I am not fond of resolutions because I think they usually just cause stress and failure, so they're a bit of a waste. I do however, have a goal to keep up my blog this year. It was officially written as something I wanted to do in November. So, this is where effort is going.

Today's trend of the day on the Vogue Italia website is colored lace! I already love lace so much but the different colors make it so much more flexible. Black and darker reds are typically punkier, pastels are girly and so ready for spring. Lace can go from being formal to party, just because of the color. It's something that you can find on runways and in every store, and it's even on some people who aren't fashion-savvy. Basically, I love the flexibility.

A new space

Yesterday, my boyfriend and I did a quick move. We used to have this room in the upstairs of my house, but wanted a bigger one, so we got a room downstairs. The problem was that the room we just moved into 2-3 weeks ago is freezing! So, instead of moving everything (not that there's enough space to) we just moved the bed, dresser, our clothes, and videogames. Luckily for me, I got to use the whole closet if I gave up the dresser. I decided to put all my clothes on the shelves (which I love because I can see everything) and my shoes on top. Here's the pictures I took with Instagram (Follow littleheartaspen, more after page break):

DIY Friendship Bracelets




I absolutely love making friendship bracelets. They're quick, easy, and they're whatever you want them to be. The bracelet in this picture took me about 20-30 minutes to do with taking pictures, so it's very simple. If you're interested in making this kind of bracelet, then read on, because I'm about to show you how easy it is!

Top 10

It's time for fall, and I should already have new clothes, but I don't. If I could go shopping and buy any 10 things today, these would be my 10 things. I've secretly always wanted a Chanel bag (or a Chanel anything!) like this one, but the price tag will forever be an issue. As for the rest, either they're not that expensive, or I can find something similar elsewhere. (Example, the boots are super similar to these ones at Forever 21) I'm mostly saving up for black friday, and will probably get a lot of these items.


If you could get any 10 items right now, what would they be?
