S-S-Serious Shoe Porn

Some people stress eat. Some people excersize. Some people deal with with problems head on. I choose the less healthy, but much more enjoyable option. I mean, confrontation? Why deal with actual people when the most beautiful pieces of art lie at your finger tips?

Well, my name is Becki and I have a online shopping addiction. It's actually more window shopping seeing as I don't buy anything. Because not having a job is really conducive to a full shopping cart. But anyways, I highly reccomend this highly effective procrastination tool. Also, seriously. My birthday. Think about it.

Don't ignore the shameless selfishness, it's endearing.

Yes, I realize this is most likely the reason I don't have a boyfriend. But look back at my photos! If I shut my mouth I'm really cute!

Unloved

These are some of the last photos from Vancouver. Yes, that was three months ago, but hey. Better late than never. Of course, these aren't all the photos, but I didn't want to bore you guys with the other thousand photos hanging out on my computer. Besides, I'm sick and thinking of all the delicious food that I ate makes me sad. Because as of right now all I can eat is yogurt and chicken noodle soup. Maybe that can become some kind of fad diet. Not so bad, better than living off grapefruit and cabbage leaves. Anyways:

Currently I'm decorating my room for the new house and these flowers are serving as my inspiration. I love not only the bright color, but specifically the detail (yes, we all know my obsession with detail). The way the colors compliment each other, and slowly fade from purple to yellow really drive me to find the same cohesion in my room. Urban Outfitters has become my new favorite website. I'm really hoping for a vintage end table with a record player. Do you think vinyl is worth the investment?

Anyways, this old woman is me in 50 years. I cannot wait to be her. There are so many patterns here she might as well be a fabric store.

Okay, so maybe I have a lot of obsessions. But seriously. That Afro? Pure awesome. I have so many photos of this guy that I should earn a degree in stalking. Him, playing the drums, guitar, tambourine, the xylophone (yes, that's right), and finally this sick steel drum. I firmly believe that I will grow myself a similarly wicked Jew 'fro. Just take away my blow drier.

Alice and Olivia Stacked Heels: Payless

Once upon a time there was a girl. She was blond, silly, and fashion obsessed. She sat at her window, surrounded by moving boxes, and dreamed of a place where she could go. A place where beautiful clothes were the norm, where people were just as silly as she. Then one day she received a message from the mythical laptop post. It was an invitation to the Akira ball! This girl planned and prepped, ready and waiting for the day of the ball. But when it came, the girl had no fairy godmother, no pumpkin carriage, and no way to make it to the ball. So she pulled out her camera and took photos of her gown. And she keeps dreaming...

Taking a Breather

Alright, so posting has been suuuper slow, I know. But put up with me for a little bit, because I decided that anytime I'll be posting that each post should be quality. Unfortunately, that doesn't come as easy for as it does, Tavi or Jane Aldridge. But hey, no one's naming names...
I want to thank everyone who has supported this website, it means so much. Unfortunately, I'm going through some things right now, and I'm not working at 100%. More like a weak twenty, to be perfectly honest. So to everyone who's stuck with me and rooted for me, thank you.

These are all the things I'm craving more than a cooke dough blizzard.

You know, my birthday is coming up...

I'm Alive, Get Me Out of Here

I'm just ready for an escape. Planes, trains, automobiles, anything to take a vacation like no one has ever experienced. I'm ready for something exciting, something that brings about butterflies in my stomach and makes me worry I'm making a mistake. I would rather have an adventure and regret it than sit home and never live.

If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?

Double Trouble

Two dresses. Both equal in beauty, both versatile, both affordable. But one was ruffled in a soft pastel and other a deep black, just a simple jersey blend. Each said something different about the girl holding them. One asked for soft waves and a boyfriend, the other for vampy lips and a biker bag. As the girl holding both dresses, I was confused. Why should I be so stuck? They're just dresses. But they called to different wants, different wishes. And I always felt that girls with true style played in one zone: girly or rock'n'roll, that's what made their fashion sense and so relatable. You went to them for one specific style to inspire you in a certain way. But all of us constantly fight with ourselves. Whether it's finding the balance between a school and social life, independence from parents, or just the perfect dress that encompasses tough and pretty, it's like an internal monologue that never ends.
Now I'm not talking about going crazy and having split personalities, just finding the happy medium.

What about you? Did you find your style or just be able to keep the scale even with school and life?
