The Versatile Blogger Award!
I was so kindly nominated by the fabulous Lauren of Lauren-Lee Grace: Beauty & Fashion for The Versatile Blogger Award. Both her and the blog that nominated her made their own logos, so naturally I had to jump on the bandwagon of course! As part of being nominated you share 7 facts about yourself and then nominate (what should be 15 people).
Seven Facts About Myself:
1. When I'm not trying to be a "normal" person and listen to pop, country, rap, etc... you can find me rocking out to the cast recordings of Parade, The Last Five Years, Mary Poppins, Bonnie and Clyde, and my all time favorite Ragtime.
2. I am not a coke person, I am diet pepsi all the way... :o
3. I love making homemade notes and cards for those closest to me. You will usually find me at my giddiest with ink pens, stickers, glue, and tons of card stock in my hands.
4. I hate "fur characters" or any character basically with a mask. It just freaks me out and I will run away lol.
5. I talk to myself, half of it probably has to do with I am often times alone... but I totally talk to myself and it's to the point that sometimes I just don't realize it hahah.
6. Zillow and Apartments.com are like my bffs, I spend time day dreaming of houses in different cities. You know me, the boy, and the puppy... a girl can dream :)
7. I am currently going through this awful phase where anytime I feel overcome with emotion... I yawn. It's horrible, I can't tell you how many times I have been to serious plays where I sit in the front row and have yawned. I look like one horrible person...
The Fun Part, Nominations!

Tulle and Smiles (Little Girls Easter Picks)
As I previously mentioned in Adult Easter Dress Picks, I am a huge fan of the "easter dress" and if I am going to be honest, if I could just have blown up versions of children's dresses... I might be the happiest 21 year old in the world lol.
ONE: Patterned Dress (H&M)- I love the softness of the pink and the cute bunny pattern. Plus I am a total sucker for bows soooo... Plus bunny for Easter, *Miranda Priestly voice* groundbreaking.
TWO: Emme Fit & Flare Dress (Lilly Pulitzer)- Okay I am a sucker for a fit and flare dress because they make anyone look like a princess. Also this dress for some reason reminds me of the dresses from the live action Madeline movie when they go to Pepito's house for a party. Maybe it's just that I have wanted to be Madeline since I was like three (also had I came out with red hair, my name would be Madeline, a little fun fact.)
THREE: Nellystella's Chloe Dress (Crewcuts)- POM POMS ON THE SLEEVES. 'nough said :)
FOUR: Little Lilly Shift Dress (print: Resort White Back It Up) (Lilly Pulitzer)- I feel like this is the most "grown up" of the selections. But I love the fun print and it basically just makes me wish I was in resort somewhere tropical. So the name of the print is basically perf.
FIVE: Cotton Dress (H&M)- I really am so pleasantly surprised at how adorable everything is at H&M when it came to the kids, I find for myself I am weeding through the site or store for hoursss. It's such a simple, sleek design and for me (I have no clue why) it just screams Easter Sunday or maybe Alice in Wonderland as well lol.
SIX: Organdy Dress with Contrast Bow (Crewcuts)- So I have an obsession with what I call the "Wendy Dress" if it slightly resembles the look of Wendy's nightgown (Peter Pan) and this is basically a dream, also my bow obsession.... so there's that.
SEVEN: Cotton Dress (H&M)- I thought the print was fun (it's lemons) which might be a little odd, but you might as well get away with wearing lemons on your dress while you can right?
EIGHT: Morgana Dress (Lilly Pulitzer)- I love the color pink, am obsessed with gold, and well who doesn't like polka dots? So mash them all together, and Lilly's got herself a pretty amazing dress.
What are some of your favorites that you've seen so far??

Floral and Brights (Easter Dress Time)
I also have to say I have always loved easter and celebrated Christ's death and resurrection (seeing as I am religious- which I have addressed and mentioned many times on the blog) but this year it just feels real to me. I am just overwhelmed with the love someone could have for each of us that he would face such torture and excruciating pain for an everyday, average sinner like me. I keep thinking of all the anxiety and worries that are building up around me, but I then get this time to focus on the cross and suddenly my issues melt away. This year has been hard (and it started right before last Easter) but I feel the weight being thrown off my shoulder little by little leading up to easter sunday.. and what better way to celebrate than with dress binging lol.... (my fave) As a child I almost got more excited over the easter dress than the basket or chocolate bunnies, a post of my favorite children's picks will be up soon!

The House That Built Me
It's where me and my best friend had many fights and many reconciliation....
It's where I once had a bible study party in college on the day of my birthday because well exams ya know... they ruin any good social life...
In the backyard is where I took my first headshot for theatre....
It's where I celebrated my 21st birthday. LOL no crazy party girl over here...
It's where my dream playhouse sits in the backyard gathering dust and making me wish I was six all over again...
It's the house I came home to after each summer in New Jersey...
It's where me and my best friend used to lay on the floor in the hallway talking about life...
It's where big life decisions were made...
It's where I found my sanctuary when my whole world was crashing around me...
It's where my best friend took my phone until I told her who I had a crush on...
It's where I stood in the living room singing out loud for the first time in preparation for an audition...
It's where I once tried to break into to watch Pretty Little Liars, but found out there really was no way...
It's where even I could never get the front door to open, so I had to call my guy friend to always help me get in...
It's where my friends threw me a surprise party and we played murder murder, real life mafia- whatever you like to call it...
It's where I once had a party where all we did was sing showtunes for hours (wild party)
It's where I lived with two great friends while I was in college...
It's on the porch that I recited my sophomore hearing monologue before actually going to audition...
It's where I saw Magic Mike and was scarred for life...
It's where me and my best friend would live for two weeks during the winter and summer til my parents got back into town so I wasn't alone...
It's where I grew up, it's where I realized who I was and wasn't, it's where I grew to love God, and it's also where I first sat down to start this blog...
It's the house that built me.

Now Give Me The Beach
Maybe it's all the spring break snapchats, the fashion blogging cruise posts, or my absolute obsession with Pinterest (like my whole board dedicated to summer lol) But I'm in complete shutdown mode til summer, so naturally I have been daydreaming and filling my days with tons of swimsuits. Here a few of my absolute favorites:
Well for now I will just keep daydreaming of bathing suits, beach, and a tan....
