So it is the second week of school and I already happen to be
stressed! Following up on my resolution for
this school year of updating my blog regularly, I absolutely
had to make time for blogging! I got this blouse
on a thrifting trip a few weeks ago, and I have just
been dying to wear it. Thanks to the cool weather it has finally
been possible. Since the weather has been so perfect lately
(especially in the evenings) I have been so much more inclined
to do productive things outside. I have been taking several
walks, and doing more film photography again. It is so
nice to be able to walk outside and simply get inspired.

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend, and a lovely
week. Can you believe it will be September in just
two days? My, does time fly by.

Back to School

27 August 2010



















So of course my first week of classes I failed to update my blog.
Of course I would do that! Goal for this year: master time management
once and for all. I really think it can be done. Anyways... I
am sure you are noticing these yellow leaves on the ground,
right? This just has to be a sure sign that cooler weather
and fall is on the way. It seems like that is all I am
talking about lately, but I really am craving sweaters, scarves,
walks with a warm coffee in hand, and cuddling up in a
blanket to a nice book.

To everyone who has started school, I hope it is going well!
I am taking absolutely wonderful classes this semester. It may
even be my favorite. Among my favorites include: History
of costume apparel, Creative writing, and Intro to Buddhism. I
was lucky enough to have some extra room for one last elective
and I am able to take this Buddhism class taught by an
actual Tibetan monk. I just cannot wait to learn all of the philosophies.
And of course the History of apparel class will be so inspiring. I love
taking a look back into fashion's history.
Should be quite a spectacular semester.

Swedish Style










Effortless Swedish style that I think the whole world should
learn from. How do they always look so flawless?

An Experiment

19 August 2010












I did it! I have had this maxi skirt in my closet
for quite some time. After endless mixing and
matching, I have found a way to incorporate
it in my wardrobe in a way that reflects my style.
Pairing it with dots and a vintage bag seemed
to me that perfect way to do it. It is difficult sometimes
but fun experimenting with new fashions
while remaining true to ones personal style.
But much for fun than difficult :)

I love layering

17 August 2010












I love layering! It really is so true. And is most
definitely one of the reasons why I like the fall
and winter so much. It is finally cooling down (just
barely) here. Anyways... I have been just dying
to wear over-the-knee socks, and today was just the perfect
temperature to do so. Wahoo!

In other news... for the last three posts or so I
have been using my new camera! It is a canon rebel,
and I just love it. Since I love this new camera
so much, I have decided to sell my 1.5 year old
Canon G10. I took all of my blog photos with this camera
from the month of May 09-May 2010. If anyone
is interested, I am selling it for 250$ (originally 500).
It is in lovely condition and needs a new home! Any
inquires, please e-mail me at bsbarton@uark.edu .

Hope everyone is having a lovely week! <3>
