no snow, make snow.

I live in Wisconsin. It generally gets cold and white around here pretty damn quick but this year its as brown as tootsie in a tootsie pop.

Well, lucky for my cousin and I we have a few ski hills making some snow, so we can go snowboarding anyway. I'm not sure if any one's ever tried it, or thought about trying it, but we started last year and haven't looked back....or anywhere besides the ground for that matter. The fact that we're terrible is irrelevant though, because we're lightly obsessed.

I'm adventurous, I love trying new things and I've been called an adrenaline junkie once or twice but what I didn't realize (fashion readers tune back it) was that snowboarding and skiing have this whole sort of fashion bubble around them. There's clothes and brands and colors and styles made specifically geared towards them. Granted I'm sure you could look at any sport and say that same thing, it was truly mind-boggling when I realized just how electrifying it is to be on the hill with all the personal style of the snowboarders around you. 

That said, I found some pictures online of what I want to be able to do at some point in the future, I do have a cousin who owns a snowboarding clothing company, I mean come on it's in my blood right? Wrong. But that's okay, nothing worth having comes easily.

Hope your holidays went/are going well.

big decisions.

I have a crap ton of things on my mind as the semester is coming to a close and finals have a sort of impending doom feeling. On top of that I've been trying to figure a few other things out, and for me the problem has never been following through with my plan but more of deciding what to do about the problem initially. I think I've decided... but i don't know.

what does one do when their heart disagrees with their head?

I don't know either. 

I needed some good mood food so i got me some arbys. yum.



bleh. hope your week has started more productively than mine!!

my escape.

"i look around and wonder, what the hell am i doing here?"

sometimes i feel like I'm running in circles, i cant stop or turn or leave.

i wish i had a place i could escape to when the books don't suffice and the magazines are all used up.

here's my imaginary happy place....what does yours look like?

the quality is kinda crappy but i love it all the same.

Doors open possibilities.

So I know I haven't posted my style boards in a while but I just finished the back of my bedroom door a few weeks ago and thought you guys might be interested in seeing it. It's a tinge unfinished, but I plan on leaving it....half because I like it that way and half because I'm lazy.

Sooo, lemme know if you love it, hate it, want to rip it up and feed it to the reindeer..whatever...I like comments okay?

work in progress.

final product.
