FOR THE LOVE OF STEVIE N. AND F. MAC

Thanks to last night's Glee-pisode my (previous) Fleetwood Mac jumped up the scale a weee bit.

Then I went on a Stevie Nicks internet browsing spree...

// 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 //

So help my wallet... thank goodness I refrained from buying songs on itunes--that's all I'm going to say.

Here is my favorite Fleetwood Mac song...
(not featured on last night's Glee-pisode, but still a favorite none-the-less)

Umm, 'cuse me, but can you PLEASE check out Stevie Nicks hair is this video?!

Absolutely RIDICULOUS!!

I love it!

Blog Stalking

Grace of Grace Love the Beatles was sweet enough to pick me as one of her 3 Inspiring Bloggers. Thanks, Grace! :)
My personal 3 most inspiring bloggers are all fashion bloggers. This past year has been big for me in terms of style and clothing (I took a trip down memory lane of my outfit posts this morning... scary stuff, man), and I can attribute a large part of that change to the following three ladies.

Brooke of Keep Collected:
The most influential for me has been Brooke. Her blog was recommended to me a while back by Joni and I have been hooked ever since. She shops at thrift stores, she wears tights under her shorts, she tucks in her shirts, and she wears her hair up in a bun... all things that I formerly would never have dared to try. Thank you, Brooke! :)

Kendi of Kendi Everyday:
I love the way that Kendi puts pieces together and really completes her outfits with her accessories. I also am really envious of her hair, but that's not important. She's a witty writer and has a very defined look and style for her blog, an organization I hope to achieve some day.

Rebecca of The Clothes Horse:
I've never seen so many cute dresses before as I have on Rebecca's blog. And her hair! Always a different style, and the color is to die perfect for her. I was looking at her blog the other day and wrote myself a note to get some red lipstick. Currently I wear chapstick on my lips and nothing else, but after seeing Rebecca pull it off so well I may just have to try it.

Style Inspiration: Chictopia

I was reading ModernMode's blog today, and I followed a link that she posted and found myself on Chictopia, a fashion site where people can post pictures (I'm not sure if just anyone can post... I doubt it because all of the pictures are very nice) of their outfits. And all of the girls are insanely fashionable so it made me feel bad about myself and want to cry. OK, so I don't feel bad about myself, and I didn't cry, but boy do I ever feel so average right now. It's something to aspire towards, I suppose.

A few of my favorites:

I will definitely be frequenting this site now... I have only been looking for about 15 minutes and already have a huge list of new things I want to try. In fact I'm off to pick out an outfit for tomorrow right now! :)

FRIENDS, RUGBY, & INSPIRATION

I saw Invictus last night with the lovely SB--my rugby lovin'-Ireland travelin-hippie bf.


Very Good Movie, that tells a wonderful story and sends a great message.

Unfortunately, with my blonde (multiply concussed) brain the only message I received is that: Rugby is awesome.

(And the movie solidified my love of men who play rugby... Seriously, Go watch, go play, fall in love--you'll understand once you do)

Also, I discovered (possibly re-discovered--because I think that I've heard it before) the poem Invictus by William Ernest Henley. Truly inspiring.

Invictus

OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Have a great day everyone!
Saturday is a rugby day! Go find a match to watch!!
You can thank me later.
