Eeeeek!

Super quick update while I'm writing to my two pen pals....

Expect the captivating and inspiring interview with Mary of Hail Mary either tomorrow or Wednesday! You'll love it!

PS-I cannot wait for this movie!



Especially since "Us" by Regina Spektor is playing in the beginning and it's been a favorite song of mine since, like, the seventh grade!

Love always,

Six Outfits

Happy Monday! So far today, I have ordered a pair of boots, baked a chocolate cake, and listened to music. Very productive, if you ask me.

Anywho, here's this week's Six Outfits...perfect summer outfits ...

Love always,
A.

"I read so I know that I am not alone."

I love to read. Lately, however, I've been in a book slump. I keep buying books I don't end up reading or begin reading only to find I don't really have any interest in them. SO, I need book suggestions! Help! What's your favorite book? A book you've been meaning to read? A book someone reccomended to you?

Love always,
A.

Six Outfits

I decided that once a week, I'll make a polyvore of six outfits based on a theme... because seriously, people, polyvores are SO FUN.

This week I was feeling black and white dresses...classic...

Enjoy!

Love always,
A.

Exciting News...

be excited, people!

Love always,

What's in Your Bag?

I've always loved those posts on blogs or in the flickr group where people took pictures of what's inside their purses or bags. So, I figured as my first "official" post, I'd do one!

This is my darling purse. It's soft faux leather and so roomy, and the best part, it was only $6.24 at Target. My brother's girlfriend has the same one in white, but I like my brown one much better.


As you can see, my purse holds A LOT. And it's not even full at all!



In my lovely purse, I have the following things: my silver clutch wallet from Target, one of my two mini-journals from Urban Outfitters, two pens, my Cynthia Rowley glasses case, with my glasses inside, two pairs of sunglasses from Charlotte Russe, my iPod, my env2, earbuds for my iPod, and my keys.

I also have Nexcare bandages, Smith's Rosebud Salve (I swear by it!), Lypsyl beeswax lip balm, my Hello Kitty compact, Daisy by Marc Jacobs solid perfume ring and gold carrying case, Renu contact solution, Bath and Body Works Enchanted Orchid body spray, Bath and Body Works Cucumber Melon hand cream, Bath and Body Works Pink Grapefruit hand sanitizer, a Lifesavers mint, Orange Tic Tacs, and Dr. Burts Res-q Ointment.

Hope you enjoyed a look through my bag! Again, comment and give me ideas and suggestions on what to post about! Thanks guys!

Love always,
A.

Welcome Wagon

This is hardly the first blog I've ever had, but it's time to get serious. I have a personal blog, on Xanga, that I've had since the 10th grade. Mind you, I just graduated high school. Plus, it's not that interesting. NEWAYZ. I decided to make this blog as a foray into my wannabe journalism career.

As I mentioned, I just graduated high school. In the fall, I will be attending a university in Philadelphia where I will be majoring in journalism. My dream is to write for Elle, or Vogue, or any reputable fashion magazine or website. I decided what better way to get some experience that having my own fashion/music/film/literature/whatevz blog. I am a follower of a few "fashion blogs" (though they feature many other topics as well) and figured I should start my own. In addition to my love of fashion, I am also passionate about music, whatever genre, and creating it. While I am struggling to learn guitar, I do sing and music is a huge part of my life.

So welcome to Paper Cranes. Paper Cranes is a screen name/email address I've had for a while now, plus I just love paper cranes, so I figured it'd make for a pretty nifty blog name.

I'll be posting more soon and if by some chance, you come across this blog in your travels, send me a comment telling me what you'd like to see or know. It can be anything! Thanks (:

Love always,
A.
