Ice Castle Flop

February 9, 2013

Last night my mom and I spent $22 for a grand total of 15 minutes in the "ice castle" at MOA. It was not worth the money, and there really wasn't much to do or see. I wouldn't recommend it, though it did prove for a good photo-op.

TBT

February 7, 2013

I decided I'd hop on the bandwagon and make a little contribution to TBTs. A Fashion contribution of course! So get ready to relive the wonderful Fashion of the '90's and early 2000's!

1. Who doesn't remember the lovely Mudd brand? Here at number 1, the classic Mudd heeled loafers:

2. Continuing with the shoe trend, at number 2: Heely's.

Remember when these babies were banned from the elementary school hallways?

3. The fan favorite: jellies!

Jellies were paired best with number 4...

4. Socks with beads.

5. Speaking of beads...vacation corn rows with beads!

Not only were you jealous that they got to go on a trip, but they came back with these stylish accessories.

6. Platform Sketchers, not to be confused with Shape-Ups.

7. The ever-popular bungee shirt. One size fits all! (I just learned these are called popcorn shirts.)

I wanted one sooo badly, but alas, I went without.

8. Stretchy black sandals. These were considered my "nice" sandals as a child.

14. Etnies. I'll admit it...I owned a pair of these.

I thought these were the greatest shoes to ever come along.

I hope you enjoyed this walk down memory lane with me!

My Trip to Barnes and Noble

February 4, 2013

I bought some Fun new books over the weekend! The first was a Rick Steves guide to London.

As you can see I've already started making notes of everything I want to do when I'm there. I'm most excited about all things to do with the royals and Harry Potter.

I'm pretty excited about the second book I bought. It's a Q&A book. Every day it asks you a question and you answer it with how you're feeling on that particular day. The fun part is that it's a five year journal, so eventually you get the same question five times and you can see how your opinions changed over the years. Let's hope I stick to it! So far so good.
