Boho-Romantic

Oh, hi...remember me? Unfortunately, I became a Tumblr addict and dismissed my relationship with Blogger because I was so engulfed in its overwhelming abundance of beautiful images. However, lately I can't stop thinking about the vibrant and creative affair I once had with this blog and I'm feeling nostalgic. I'm having an amazing time with Tumblr...posting a good ten times a day, but I'm usually left feeling empty inside. That's why I am going to try to make an effort to balance both relationships because I've realized that I need to have both in my life. Tumblr is inspiring, yet restricting and does not allow me to express myself fully, whereas Blogger is too self-absorbed and lacks some sort of external, visual imagination. This has led to my conclusive decision to commit myself fully (physically, mentally, spiritually, fashionably, creatively,...) to both of my relationships with Blogger and Tumblr.

Some things I should perhaps update you on about me (that is...if we want this relationship to work again):

- I have officially graduated from University with a Bachelor's degree in English Literature and Art History
- I have successfully kept up my New Year's Resolution of working out regularly and eating healthy (and it has paid off)

- I am leaving for New York City in less than THREE weeks for a good THREE months. Why? To get away for a little bit and have some fun....work....save...party...and hang out with friends before facing the real world (eeeeek!).


Now I am going to do what I love to do on this blog and share with you some items I have picked out from my closet. Lately I am having a strong, overwhelming love for anything that is bohemian, but you know me, I am a true romantic at heart...both literally and fashionably. Therefore my look lately is
Boho-Romantic, it's a term I basically came up with myself that embodies both my love for late 1960's/early 1970's natural, earthy, bohemian look (I secretly want to escape to the West coast to the oceans and mountains and live a simple life with some hippie lover and make jewelry all day) and the other side of me, that has always been present, which is the romantic look of jewels, frills, and lace where I picture myself in some Chateau in France reading Voltaire.

Hope you like it!
