Let's start off with the 10 things that I am most obsessed about right now (in no particular order).
1. GLEE Ever since Fox aired the first episode last May, I have absolutely loved this show! The characters, the music, the fashions, the guest stars...There's just so much to love.
2. EMMA PILLSBURY Some people would probably think Emma should be included in the first obsession, but she deserves her own obsession. Emma Pillsbury is a fashion icon. She is adorable and funny. I want her to be my best friend.
3. POLYVORE.COM This website has become an addiction for me. It is a fashion, shopping, and interior design website that offers a virtual styling tool, where you can mix and match products from online stores to create collages. I find so many awesome products on this site. Now if I only had the money to buy all of those products!
4. TEENNICK AND DISNEY CHANNEL SHOWS Many people would say I am too old for these shows, and to be honest they are probably right. I started watching shows like iCarly, Wizards of Waverly Place, and even Hannah Montana because I work with kids and talking about these shows is a great way to connect with them. I soon found out that I actually enjoy watching the shows. They are good, clean, silly entertainment, and sometimes you just need that in your life.
5. BARBIE AND BARBIECOLLECTOR.COM I love Barbie! I love collecting these dolls and recently a friend of mine introduced me to this site. Not only does it offer community with other collectors, it also sells some amazing dolls. There are Barbies designed by Christian Louboutin, Jonathan Adler, Bob Mackie, and many more. I love all of them and can't wait to add them to my collection.
6. BOOK CLUB My two friends and I have started a book club this year. It's just the three of us right now, but we have so much fun that it doesn't matter. My best friend and I have been trying to start a book club for years, but we could never get anyone to commit to it. Now that it has actually happened, we are so excited.
7. CARDIGANS These have been an obsession of mine for awhile. I am always cold, so I usually always have a cardi or a hoodie with me. Cardigans are so much more fun than hoodies though. They can dress up an outfit so easily and you can find so many different styles and colors. And thanks to Emma Pillsbury, I have been introduced to sweater clips/guards, which help to dress up my cardis even more.
8. VINTAGE I have recently come across two websites that I find fantastic: rubylane.com and esty.com. I love vintage jewelry, home decor, and apparel. These two sites are online communities of sellers from around the globe who sell vintage and handmade pieces. I have found so many items, my wish list is about to burst.
9. SCRAPBOOKING This has been a passion for a long time. I love to decorate pages and add quotes and captions. It's so much fun to look back on all the memories, especially when they look so pretty. I have been working on a scrapbook of my niece and nephews, who are 10, 9, and 8 now. It is so much fun to go back in time while putting these pages together. I have also been working on one for my boyfriend and me. I love to think that someday our kids will be able to look through these books and see a glimpse into how our relationship formed.
10. SHOES, SHOES, SHOES This is probably my greatest and longest-lasting obsession. I have loved shoes as long as I can remember. I cannot go into a store without looking at the shoe department. My boyfriend graciously obliges this obsession and I love him all the more for it. I'm afraid though that he does not quite understand how deep this obsession truly is.
So there they are. My Top 10 Obsessions. I'm sure I will be writing about most, if not all, of these at one point or another. They are obsessions after all. Some of them will probably have their own feature of the week on the blog. We'll see.
Adios!
