School, Ew.

School is about to start, are you ready? Well I'm not sure I am. Homework isn't the end of the world at least we can feel productive. And sitting in class, can keep us from sleeping our lives away. We can meet new people and create new friendships. And reconnect with old friends. These friendships make the struggle of going to school all worth it. And maybe it's just me, but relationships is the definition of my life. I love people, I want to be with others, I need to spend time with others. I find that in our downtime like summertime, we can be lazy and we might not reach out to spend time with others as often as we should. And with the coming school year we have this wonderful opportunity to spend time with others. Get to know them, care about them and their lives. Fellowshiping (so not a word) is what I believe we are here for, so we need to remember daily to try our very best not to isolate ourselves. Even though our time is limited between the activities we need to spend our time with like studying and working. Let's not forget, what we are here to do. Our sole purpose in life is to love the Lord and all others. It is the simplest of tasks yet for our self centered lives we struggle with this all the time. So we may feel like studying for this test means we must give up our social lives. But that would be a waste of a day, because we are given a small amount of time to do what was asked of us. This coming school year it is my goal to make friendships and get to know my peers around me. Spend time with others and learn to love without ceasing. And I hope that you have a goal for this school year too, and I pray we do our best to accomplish everything we wish for ourselves.

Mumford and Sons- I will wait

Alabama Shakes- I found you

And now Taylor Swift made a song for the stand up for cancer fundraiser night. It is a tribute to a young boy (4) who lost his life to cancer last year. If you buy the song all the proceeds go to Stand up to cancer. This brought tears to my eyes. Most emotional thing ever.

Fall Fashions.

As much as I love summer, I also have a secret love for fall fashions. I love the colors, they are deep and beautiful. I also love that fashion week is in September to start us all off on the right foot. So without further adieu let's allow my clothing favorites speak for themselves.

I love the dress collar I think it's a great style that's old and girly. The trench makes it perfect for early fall. This outfit is simple and it's classy. LOVE.

Plum is such a good fall color, we all need an item of clothing that is plum colored. This is an easy effortless outfit, yet it is flattering and fantastic at the same time. I need this skirt.

This outfit is a bit quirky, but I like it. The boots may be a bit bright, but in a darker matte color I think the boots would be perfect. The sweater with the skirt is a good combo and it's cute. And it would keep zee body warm in the colder months.

Again great fall colors coming together. You would be pretty cold I'll admit, but before October ends this would be a fun girl look. I love the cream color for fall matched with black and a deep red. Good good fall colors everywhere!

Plum colored pants these are a win! Really the only thing I love about this outfit the shirt and the purse are a no go. But these pants are a great color and super fashionable. Those who wear pants should go out and look for these, love love love.

This is so me. And I think this outfit couldn't be better executed. The colors come together so well they are perfect for fall. The outfit is warmer with the jacket and the boots. And it's cute cute. I want this now.

We all need these loafers, they are like the new flat for fall. I love them in neutrals to match everything and in brights to remind us fall and winter don't mean out style dies. A must have.

I love the colors this dress displays. The burnt orange and the brown such good fall colors. I feel like fall is all about the color, not necessarily is your piece in style but the color vibe. And this dress is absolutely fantastic and displays that perfectly.

This denim look is great and all that is needed is to add the great cream color.

boots boots boots, are so great to keep warm. Suede boots are also such a must. And in good fall colors too like brown, black, grey. And they spice up any outfit.

These are so cute and chic. I think that they can be pulled off well, and that you should go out and buy them. If only I wore pants these would be mine.

Denim on denim is making a comeback and I think it's pretty cool and effortless.

This is such an easy look that is also trendy. Just wearing a simple pair of jeans with these wonderful  oxfords. Which by the way are a fashion must and everyone needs to own a pair. Paired with a dark blazer which is a great staple piece that makes any outfit pop.

Burgundy is also a great fall color, so rich and so beautiful. And then paired with the pencil skirt, blazer, and oxfords. This outfit is chic and professional. And the blazer can be taken off for a more laid back look.

This jacket it's like Ashley's and we all could use one of these they are fantastic! And it's an easy outfit to pull together, that still looks great.

I love fall fashion trends, and I'm so excited to put together some great outfits. And I hope this has inspired you to do the same!

Video Premier for T-Swifty.

So, I know most either absolutely hate this song, or like it some. And I understand why one could hate it and love it. If one hates it there are some reasons like, it doesn't have a country feel, it is too pop like, it's really quirky, it's not very song like, it's super strange. And I agree with all of those things, which somehow make the song super epic. Because the song is basically a joke. Taylor made it to be silly. And I respect that she doesn't take her self too seriously and some people in the music business solely produce music that they think will make their image improve. Taylor doesn't care she just says what she wants to say. She wanted to make something fun and light hearted so she did. So here is here new video for We are Never Ever Getting Back together.

And if you weren't sure how classy Taylor is I found an interview to prove my point further.

Actor Spotlight: Zooey Deschanel

Many of you may know this bubbly, happy go lucky girl from 500 days of Summer. Where she played the girl I hope I never become. This 32 year old from Los Angeles, California was born to a father who was a cinematographer and a mother who was an actress.

Zooey and her sister Emily (from Bones) were basically destined to end up in the Hollywood game. She was raised as a Roman Catholic and she attended Northwestern University a Christian University in Chicago, Illinois before heading off to pursue a career in Hollywood. She has starred in many popular movies including Elf, Our Idiot Brother, Yes Man, Failure To Launch, The Happening, and Almost Famous. I've noticed that in almost every movie or show she plays the best part. She always plays the girl that's a bit quirky, girly, awkward, and very different. Zooey has her own way of living life but many women want to be like her and many men find her intriguing. Her new show that started in 2012 is called New Girl. This show is pure brilliance and captures who I think she really is. Every part she plays I think represents a part of her personality and each part shows her own versatility. Instead of her acting versatility. This funny girl also sings in a band she created called She & Him. Their style is very old and laid back. Which plays to her old lady personality and I love love love it. In her recent personal life she got divorced from her husband Bill Gibbard of two years who is the lead singer in The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie. She also became an aunt this last year to a nephew named Henry. Here is a clip of her show, it is absolutely fabulous. Zooey brings great pizzazz everywhere she goes.

And here's her profiling her great voice, actually she is so cool. She has her own quirky thing going on and I love every bit of it. And her clothes are usually pretty fabulous, I don't think she wears pants often either which is a huge plus!

Daily Devotionals.

I found these on twitter, actually posted on Rhianna's twitter. And as much as I understand why, it's also very confusing. Either way, I think these are great and hopefully they are inspiring to you too.

There will be more to come, but I think these are pretty great, so enjoy!

I made a mistake.

I'm usually the first to be honest when I've messed up. And I have just realized, I've done some wrong.    And hopefully after reading this you won't make the same mistake. See I really liked this guy a long time ago. And long story short it didn't work out in the way I wanted it to. A few years later I heard he said some pretty bad things about me. So from that point on I didn't trust him. And honestly I don't blame myself, I was hurt and needed my guard up for my own good. I find that I always have my heart out there for anyone to stomp on, so every once in awhile I need to protect myself. Then in the last few years we've seen each other around. And it's not like I've been too cold, but I haven't always been the friendliest of friends. The first time I saw him, I practically blew him off. The next few times I said hi. And in the last year there was a few month period where I really really tried. At first I was afraid to be friendly but within a few weeks I noticed he was different. Over the time period I've known him he has always been polite and kind to your face. But that's to your face not only that but he was a bit of a player. This year he's changed, he's devoted his heart to the Lord and within the first night that I saw him I knew something was different. He cared about those around him, more than I've seen anyone care about others around them before. He became a complete lover to all. He's positive and kind, all of the time. And at one point this year I decided that I didn't feel like pursuing the friendship. I couldn't tell whether he was being friendly because he cared about the friendship or if he was being friendly because that's how he was supposed to act. At that point in time I made the biggest mistake. I knew that he had changed but still didn't trust him. I was afraid of being vulnerable because I always am. What I have missed out on now, is someone who wanted to be a caring friend. I thought I was making the best decision for myself. I thought that I was doing what was needed of me. But I was wrong, I thought I saw the Lord's plans through but I didn't. I don't want any of you to miss these opportunities. So honestly, be open to those around you. Be willing to trust even if you're afraid you'll be hurt. I would rather people hurt me day in and day out, than knowing I didn't try. Knowing that I might have missed an opportunity. A few months ago I thought I knew what they Lord wanted me to do in the situation. But going on with my own life and not paying attention to others is never part of the Lord's plan. I was friendly but I didn't let him in. And I really hope it isn't too late. I hope I get another try. We all need more positive and bright people around us. So now I know the Lord wants me to try and make a friendship grow. I don't know how I'll get there but I trust the Lord to guide me all the way. And I hope you do the same, don't cut others out of your life if they are only trying to help you become more fruitful. So here's to going out of our comfort zone's, here's to trusting the Lord, here's to being more vulnerable than we'd like. Sometimes we make mistakes, and hopefully the people around us will give us a second chance.
