Hairspiration {That's right I mash words together}

My hair is currently really short. It looks close to the top picture of Aggy, although mine is still shorter than that. Lately, as much as I try to deny it, I've been getting the bug to grow said hair out.

Of course, not only will that take FOREVER, I'll also have to deal with the inevitable "awkward stage." The bottom Aggy picture looks like a cut that would help ease me through that stage. What do you guys think?

After all, if I grow my hair out and hate it, I can always chop it right off!

(I'm sorry I forgot where I got the images from, they've been bookmarked for a while now)

Damn, feels good to be a shorty...

To all my fellow five-foot nothings, I found a cute step stool that is both fun and sophisticated. Behold this beauty from Urban Outfitters: The stow away step stool. Isn't it spectacular? No more having to go to the dollar store and having to purchase the step stool that has ABC's and 123's, clearly indicating that you are the same height as a first grader. No more trying to stand on boxes that give way, send you flying and making you hit your counter with your forehead giving you that delightful cut that scares away all the neighborhood dogs. That's right, my life is now complete. (Images via Urban Outfitters)

Covetable, perhaps...

I'm not a big fan of Katy Perry's music, I wasn't really impressed with the two songs I've heard. I also agree with Allison that Perry should stop trying to copy style goddess, Zooey Deschanel's style.

That said, I saw a picture of Perry performing somewhere wearing this get up and well, I can't help but dig this look. Whoever designed this dress is genius. How can you not look at this and smile? It reminds me of being a child and summertime and just gives me plain giddy thoughts and memories.

Oh Katy Perry, you're all right by me. Just don't sing.

Obamarama...

4 more days and I'm nearing an anxiety attack. I received an e-mail from my school this morning announcing that all classes after 3 p.m. will be cancelled on Tuesday. My campus is located blocks from Grant Park where the big Obama shindig will be held. Apparently, my school is worried about safety, which is understandable, but ain't nothin' gonna keep me from that rally!

Chicago is infamous for political and social protests and riots as we all know. Whatever goes down, I want to be a part of history. I will bring my camera and hopefully have good images to share with you all. Happy Friday and Happy Halloween!

One of those days...

Do you ever have one of those days when the only thing that will cheer you up is a cheesy song? I've been having plenty of those days lately and this song has come to my rescue. Of course, when I looked up a video on youtube, I picked out the most obnoxious one I could find. Enjoy.

I just realized that...

I never shared with you pictures of my first trip to Seattle to visit my sister. Since she didn't have an apartment yet, we stayed downtown. I spared you guys the typical space needle pictures of course.

I just booked my Christmas trip out there so I'm stoked. This will be my first time traveling out of town during the holidays...EVER. So yes, while I am stoked, I'm also a little hesitant and not sure what to expect. This seems to be the year that will redefine traveling madness.

Either way, any stress in my getting there will be pushed aside when I get to wait for Santa in the beautiful pacific northwest rather than gray, blustery Chicago.
