Advice

Do you have a go-to-advice-person? Yeah, I jumbled all those words together because it seems that a person like this is of immeasurable importance in our lives. I have one in my life, and it always seems like this individual knows what to do...like any situation I present them with is just as easily solved as soothing a sunburn with aloe or adding an extra dash of cinnamon to a cake mix. But with this blog I am seriously changing and growing (can you tell, can ya, can ya?) so I figured I would present my dilemma to my blogging friends, ones who see how I'm feeling each and every day--feel my mushiness? (I'm a big sap!) So here's the story.

Recently I have been presented with two options, one that will guarantee me a salary and benefits doing something that is tolerable, but not my passion in the slightest. Another opportunity is  offering me an unpaid internship, a chance to join a team and company that is a start-up and currently thriving...it's in an industry I love and it's something I can really envision myself doing in the future. With the possibility of a full time position after the internship in the fall I am wondering what to do. Take the money now and have a stable job or gamble and take a chance with a company that offers no guarantees only a shining beacon of opportunity?

I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on this! Have you ever been presented with a similar situation? Do you trust your head or heart? I always have trouble picking my passions and interests over "right" and "logical" decisions.

Marshalls Boot-y

It's no secret that I love the store Marshalls! The store has discounted designer clothes, shoes and accessories and I have a serious addiction. I think I can go there every single day and find something new. Well today was the day I found two pairs of shoes and I couldn't put either down. I bought both which is totally out of character for me, I tend to be a bit very frugal and have a case of martyrdom when it comes to buying new things (especially when people are buying me gifts!); I really need to love something to buy it. With all this said I will be returning one pair of shoes...but which ones? Please help me out! I need some different perspectives.

Life in a Nutshell

I have been so stressed out lately, and this blog is one of the causes. You know when you have a grand image in your head? You visualize something so great and wonderful yet when you finally produce or create it the results are never the same? My blog is this great idea turned not so amazing result. I pore over tons of fashion blogs and magazines and want to work in the industry so badly. However, for some reason, I am not properly representing myself on my blog...it just doesn't look the way that I hoped. I did change the background (and will continue to do future edits) however, there is something that just doesn't look or feel right to me, do you know the feeling? This just gets me worried about how I am going to get a job in this creative and very talented industry. I always post about things that I love or inspire me but when it comes down to it, I am not dressing like the images that flood through my mind and excite me, visually speaking. I just want to find my own personal style and flourish.

On another note: I want to try the tights under jean shorts look, what do you guys think? Is it a do or don't? I really need feedback!

Look how Keira Knightley and Milla Jovovich do it! Do you guys like the boots or flats better?
