those yummy delicious cravings.





I've been craving a yummy, delicious, decadent cupcake for a while now. 
Alright, it's settled. I'll have to stop by Magnolia after classes today...if there is any cupcake bakery that will curb those cravings it will definitely be Magnolia!

get nasty.





Seriously. Nasty Gal is one of the greatest clothing sites ever. Not only are their clothes fantasticly stylish and awesome but they are affordable. I stalk this website daily not only for my closet but also for outfit inspiration. The styling is great! And the vintage...



AMAZING!

oh, sienna.




Can Sienna Miller be any more gorgeous? If I could raid any celebrity's closet it would be hers (and Kate Moss' and Mary-Kate's, but that is beside the point). She is a style inspiration. I'm going to try and follow her lead this summer and go a little bit edgy bohemian. Now if I could only have her killer legs...

chuck.

I am a huge classic rock music fan. I like to think I have a fairly awesome knowledge of any sort of rock music produced before 1995 (this is one area of my life that I'm actually pretty confident with). But Chuck Klosterman is the absolute king. I think he is pretty much all around the guru of all things musical. Not only does he know everything (no overstatement there) but he is an excellent writer and author. I have read a few of his books and although Fargo Rock City isn't a newly released addition to his library of excellence I just picked it up this weekend and haven't put it down yet.
If you have even the slightest interest in 80s hair metal please get yourself a copy and delve into the awesomeness that is Chuck and his magnificence.

that depressing moment...





...when you realize that Dakota Fanning is more fashionable as an 18 year old than you are even though you're older. I am beyond envious of her style.

everyday i'm traveling.



(OACFFP)


I finished my final exam today at 1:30pm which marks the beginning of spring break! While it is still this odd grey area between winter and spring here in Chicago I will be traveling to warmer climates tomorrow!
I'm one of those weird people who love dressing for flights. I often wear heels or wedges and try and make a fun outfit out of it. But. I almost always try and keep it edgy chic, like Dakota Fanning's outfit.
LOVE HER!

urbanears.



My birthday is in a week, and while I dislike celebrating I do use it as an excuse to myself things! These Urbanears headphones have been plaguing my dreams for a few weeks now...and I'm going for it. They are gorgeously simplistic, yet very trendy. I'm seriously in love with them.Of course I want this purple color, but every color under the rainbow is available!

green machine.

Although I am no top chef, I do pride myself on being relatively good cook. I love cooking a good homemade meal for myself after a long day of classes, work, and working out. About six years ago I became a vegetarian because I do not like the idea of killing animals just so I can eat, especially when plants offer the same nutrients. I like knowing that I am eating healthy and positively affecting the earth. There are many more positives to switching to a plant-based diet other than just health. I will not go into all of them but I will definitely share my thoughts and arguments with anyone who wants to hear them!
While I love being a vegetarian it is sometimes hard to find filling meal ideas. So I turn to cookbooks and recipe blogs! A lot of meat recipes can be altered to fit my vegetarian diet but I always am more inspired by vegan and vegetarian blogs. Here are some of my go-to's:


Veggie Belly is a go-to site for recipes for me. It is a vegetarian recipe blog that always has killer ideas and delicious looking photos. Cannot get enough of this website's "How-To" section, a life saver.


A little bit more of a life style blog, Love, Veggies and Yoga is a website I visit when I want to feel inspired to get out and move around a little. I, too, practice yoga and like the simple and delicious recipes offered to follow up my workouts with.


Vegan eating has always intrigued me. I would love to move to a more vegan diet but it really is a complete lifestyle change. Would Rather Gather offers me inspiration for dinning. I visit this blog to get some vegan ideas and try and incorporate them more into my diet.
