Signature Scents

 Hey lovelies!  Wow, high school wears me out!  (:  Lately I have been thinking about what scent I want to wear frequently during winter.  Winter is my favorite season, I love getting all bundled up!  About two months ago, I think, Seventeen Magazine featured a little sniff-sample of Vera Wang's Lovestruck.  I absolutely love it!  I also love Leighton Meester, she is the face of the perfume.  I had to go smell it in stores as soon as we went out of town.  (Nobody locally carries it near my house)  It is wonderful, but then it got featured in a ton of fall perfume articles so I am hesitant now.  I like having unique scents not easily recognizable... something a person can remember me by, not just another familiar scent, you know?  So what scents are you loving this fall?  <3

Quick Write: College Scholarships

I think there is a scholarship for everything.  Each morning in my first period we go through a bulletin that has a list of scholarships.  Wow!  Some of the qualifications are... different!  Also, there are a few slide shows on Seventeen with some very interesting scholarships.  The most unique to me was a $5,000 (I'm pretty sure, don't quote me on it though!) scholarship for you and your prom date creating and wearing a duck tape dress and/or suit to your prom.  There most definitely is a scholarship for everyone.  (:

Brand of Beauty: Alice + Olivia

Hey!  I have been drooling over Alice + Olivia designs for years!  Sadly, even if you wait for the pieces to go on sale their still pricey so this beautiful brand isn't tucked away in my closet! :(  Even if I'm not up to spending that much, I still love to turn to their latest collections for inspiration.

I think this dress from the 2011 Fall Collection is adorable!  Also, how easy is it to buy a cream lace top and tuck it into a black A-line skirt!

Some look-a-like options are:
This isn't as form fitting, but could still look great!
I also found some great options at Wet Seal, Forever 21, Macy's, and Free People.  The black A-line is a basic peice, most stores have a cute one (:

Abandonment-Sorry!

Hello!  I just started my blog and I have already neglected it!  Sorry!  Last week I was at the last horse show of the year and my goodness it was exhausting!  On Monday we got home around 2:30 a.m. and I only got a few hours of sleep before school. grrr. :/  Then, high school dropped a bomb of make-up work on me, but I am back!  Hopefully I will be getting a post up every other day at least now, so be on the lookout!  Feel free to e-mail me with requests or just comment (:
