i am in love with samantha shorey's blog, "unconventionally beautiful." she recently redesigned it and it looks great. i love how she incorporates the books shes reading into her blog, with quotes and all. she made me want to add about 10 new books to the list. she talks about art, signs [that something is going to happen], art, fashion, feminism, film... the list goes on and on and i love it all. i'm trying to redesign my blog and although i'm not going to copy hers (hers is original and i want to be true to myself] i hope my blog can be half as pretty and organized as hers.

well, some things are new in my life. i got 2 new headbands, one braided metallic silver. i love it. and a black one. i have a new beatles sweatshirt, and a cute little outfit to wear to nat and airens parties as well as all throughout the spring. also some new:
