Bunny Chic: Fifi Lapin

          Browsing the web after spending a long day of working retail at possibly the slowest time of year disregarding post Christmas chaos, my brain was in need of refreshments. Luckily, a half gallon of Chocolate Chip cookie dough sat in my fridge and lack of self control allowed me to unwind from my long day with the heating of the oven, throwing my cupcake apron on and filling my home...and stomach... with the sweet aroma of homemade cookies (I did use my hands to scoop out the pre-made dough :]). 

          Enjoying my cookies and soy milk, the pleasant sounds of the newly released Death Cab for Cutie album, and stumbling through BlogSpot something sweeter than the chocolate morsals melting atop my taste buds appeared: Fifi Lapin's blog. This fashion forward bunny lets readers into her world of style by sketching  illustrations (shown above) of designer looks from collections such as Chris Benz,  Shipley & Halmos, and others. I spent hours falling in love with the sweet hare's tales of fashion dreams, styling advice, and adventures as she hops her way through life. Not to mention these adorable t-shirts designed with sketches of Mrs. Lapin in her luxe looks, which I have feeling will be shortly filling the vacant spaces of my closet since donating to Plato's. 

           Enjoy Followers, tata xoxo

Ballet Beauty

Today I will be spending this rainy Saturday afternoon watching my beautiful niece dance in her recital. Coming from a 15 year background, a special place in my heart has always held my joy of movement and the effortless spirit of a dancer. Clean lines, whimsical movement, and soft colors come to mind when reflecting on my recent attendance at the Joffrey ballet which inspired me to create the style board. Enjoy xoxo

Commitment

Summer is now in full swing and I have traveled back to the place I've called home for my short 19 year lived life, Michigan. Away from skyscrapers and sounds of morning traffic replacing them now with open spaces of fresh green grass, weeping willow trees, and the occasional song of Robyns in the morning (to think I was so desperate to leave 11 short months ago). The city holds my heart, but a summer home with family and friends I consider worthy of calling soul mates has already proven to be splendid, along with the addition of a fun new fashion sales job for the Summer months!

On a blogging note, I have been MIA from this new blog project and I bid you my deepest apologies. It seems that the idea to start a thoughtful blog wasn't the best thing to do during a month of wrapping up school with exams, massive projects, and spending time with friends I'd be leaving for awhile. Commitment has been something I've always struggled with, from intimacy to life events and plans.... it's safe to say I consider myself a flake. But this year I have made such growths that I believe has changed me for the better, and self improvements have been made, this "flake" one still in the works. To my few readers, I will now be blogging frequently and hopefully you will enjoy! This is a promise to myself, my readers, and my path to self betterment.

Hope to have you come along for the ride! Tata my dears xoxo
