(Many of you know I’ve been hunting for one that fits and flatters a petite frame like mine and it’s proving difficult XP). I love the dressed-down, casual chic style of that outfit!

I’ll make a confession before I begin, I am not the most fashionable girl at all! I much prefer being in jeans and converse than strutting in heels all day. And although I love designer brands such as Alexander McQueen I could never justify the prices of their pieces. Despite all this, I appreciate fashion. I love looking at the creativity people can put into their outfits and how they express themselves through it! So here, I introduce Fashion Friday! =)</p> <p align="center"><font size="1"><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ll9gsjfMyx1qbwryro1_500.png" /></font></p> <p align="center"><font size="1">(</font><a href="http://sinistersmile.co.cc/" target="_blank"><font size="1">via</font></a><font size="1">)</font></p> <p align="center"><font size="1"><img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lm2ngq3pfv1qfateqo1_500.jpg" /></font></p> <p align="center"><font size="1">(</font><a href="giingerpepper-.tumblr.com" target="_blank"><font size="1">via</font></a><font size="1">)</font></p> <p align="center"><font size="1"><img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lme4fxvbYy1qboxego1_500.jpg" /></font></p> <p align="center"><font size="1">(</font><a href="http://daybreaksonata.tumblr.com" target="_blank"><font size="1">via</font></a><font size="1">)</font></p> <p align="center"><font size="1"><img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmfflxYsn91qf7ikto1_500.jpg" /></font></p> <p align="center"><font size="1">(</font><a href="giingerpepper-.tumblr.com" target="_blank"><font size="1">via</font></a><font size="1">)</font></p> <p align="center"><font size="1"><img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljtm6aSKnR1qh7a1to1_500.png" /></font></p> <p align="center"><font size="1">(</font><a href="http://daybreaksonata.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"><font size="1">via</font></a><font size="1">)</font></p> <p align="center"><font size="1"></font></p> <p align="center"><font size="1"></font></p> <p align="center"><font size="1"></font></p> <p align="center"><font size="1"></font></p> <p align="center"><font size="1"></font></p> <p align="center"><font size="1"></font></p> <p align="center"><font size="1"></font></p> <p align="center"><font size="1"></font></p> <p align="center"><font size="1"></font></p> <p align="center"><font size="1"></font></p> <p align="center"><font size="1"></font></p> <p align="center">I hope you enjoyed this post!

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I had a great week staying at my bf's place last week as a little break after my exams! I just got home last night so I'm spending today catching up on a lot of blog reading and shows. A big thank you to all who responded to my last post! I love hearing your thoughts and it really helped give me an idea as to what you like seeing on my blog =)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I always find that when summer starts I am inspired to start new things or take up old ones again! I really want to make the most of my summer this year but also use the time to relax and take it easy as I still don't know what I'll be doing next year. So for the most part I'll be trying to balance productivity with having a lil r&r time (but isn't that what everyone is always after?). So this summer, I'm setting myself goals! Here are a few I hope to achieve:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
<ul><li style="text-align: center;">Exercise more! I used to LOVE exercising, I always felt energetic and revitalized after a brisk walk or jog, and I really want to get back into that!</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">Catch up with shows. I'll admit I'm a bit of an asian drama addict! I was so busy lately that I left shows until last in the day/week and when you're tired subtitles can be a small bit off-putting, so my list has grown over the last few months. I'll be starting <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ToGetHer">ToGetHer</a> next! Any other drama addicts out there??</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">Learn some photography tips. I love looking at beautiful photos and although I don't have a DSLR or anything fancy I believe that shouldn't stop me from being able to take nice pictures.</li>
</ul><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><a href="http://d30opm7hsgivgh.cloudfront.net/upload/6858666_tUt9o36K_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://d30opm7hsgivgh.cloudfront.net/upload/6858666_tUt9o36K_c.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="320" /></a></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">(<a href="http://pinterest.com/">via</a>)</span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I have one or two other things planned for summer such as working on my blog and spending more time with my bf who will be coming home for good next month (many of you know he has lived many hours away for over a year). Mostly I will just be enjoying summer and all it has to offer. I hope to have one other bigger thing happening within the coming month or so.. but that will be a <i><b>surprise</b></i> ;)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hope you are having a great week!</div>Maeve Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18381920321739026996noreply@blogger.com34tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879389698388311149.post-13362613288092094192011-05-26T13:33:00.000-07:002011-05-26T13:33:20.649-07:00Summer!<div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Hey everyone!</div><div align="center">I finally finished my exams! My last one was yesterday and I’m pretty happy with how they went. I can’t believe I’m finished college forever, it seems so surreal. Just feels like any other summer is starting! I’m still not sure what I’m going to be doing next year, only time will tell, but hopefully it will be something I enjoy =)</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Hopefully this also means that I will have more time to make jewellery again! Many of you know that my college workload got very heavy in recent months (hence my unexpected MIA for awhile) and I simply didn’t have the time to make any new pieces. Aside from my jewellery I’ve been wondering what to post on my blog. Often, I’ll think of something I’d like to post but wonder if I’m the only one interested? ha ha at the end of the day I do realise this is my blog to share things I am interested in but I would like them to be things that you are interested in too! I have a few ideas, but I’d love to hear your ideas! =D</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><em>What would <u>you</u> like to see on my blog?</em></div><div align="center"><br />

I've been so wrapped up in life that I simply haven't had the chance to post lately but I have been sure to dedicate some time every week to keep up with reading blogs! I'm currently in the middle of my FINAL EXAMS! It's so strange to think that I will be graduating later this year, real life is coming at me fast! I promise that once summer comes I will be spending lots of time focusing on this blog! For now I must focus on getting through my exams and making some big life decisions *scary*! I hope this lil DIY project will hold you over until my exams are over and that you can forgive my absence =)<br />
<br />
This DIY project just astonishes me! I LOVE the finished product! I have yet to try making one myself but it's on the top of my list. It is so cute and can be made from everything you'd already have at home.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It is so simple yet gorgeous in its design and you can decorate it a million ways! There are extremely thorough instructions which lead you step by step through making the trays and assembling them all together</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2093/2232007212_a8eb2907be.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" n4="true" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2093/2232007212_a8eb2907be.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I love the pure yet raw appearence of them and how personal they can be. I've always admired letter and image stamping. It's something I've always loved to try but it's a very expensive hobby! I can promise you those plates don't come cheap so if you (like I initially felt) think these pieces are a lil over-priced, the quality of the pieces and the work put into them they are at a fairly reasonable price. That being said, of course we'd all love if they weren't quite so high but maybe we can at least appreciate how gorgeous they are! (I'll link to all the pieces below the image incase your interested in purchasing any!)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! =)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I know I've been silent on the blogfront but I'm hoping that's going to change! I've decided to do shorter blogs more often rather than long blogs because as much as I love them they can drain me! I've been so busy and so exhausted lately that I never have time or the energy to blog and I never want to do a half-assed post! That wouldn't be enjoyable for you or me! So I'm making sure I'm gona do it right! =D</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So just as a quick update I wanted to let you guys know that I do have posts planned! Unfortunately I haven't had any spare time to make new pieces which makes me sad! So there wont be any of those posts for awhile but I do plan on showing you lots of other pretty things and I'm thinking about incorporating a sort of 'featured DIY' post every now and then! I'm excited! Aren't you?!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's wishing everyone the best for 2011. Especially in health and happiness!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><3</div>Maeve Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18381920321739026996noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879389698388311149.post-52836927296465080522010-10-07T11:51:00.000-07:002010-10-07T11:51:20.408-07:00Guilty conscience<div style="text-align: center;">Oh my, it's been so long since my last post!! I'm so sorry, hope you can forgive me but I believe I have valid reason! I might not have been blogging/commenting but I've been following all your blog updates so I'm up to date =)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So let me just start of with a quick recap of what I've been up to: The day following my last post I went and stayed with my boyfriend for over a week (had an amazing time there! <3) and the day I got home I started college again o.O I've been so busy and everything has been pretty hectic since then and well now I'm sick =/ But I miss blogging!! All the time I was M.I.A. I was planning blogs to post, etc. but I simply never found the time.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have just started my final yr in college *eep!* and the amount of reading I have to do this year is phenomenal! (You might remember I'm majoring in English). All my free time this week has been taken up with reading. So I thought I'd just give you a taste of what I'm reading right now (which is only a tiny amount of this term's reading!)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img1.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n0/n1058.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://img1.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n0/n1058.jpg" width="206" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Loving them all but they can be grueling to get through, Udolpho is nearly 1,000 pages!</div><div style="text-align: center;">So I hope you can all forgive my unintentional disappearance and I will start posting more again! This weekend is my boyfriend's birthday and I'm looking forward to that and hopefully this nasty head cold will be gone by then! Couped up in bed at the moment over-dosing on my weekly tv shows ^.^</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's true I'm not much of a fashionista, I like my wardrobe but I admitt I don't put half as much effort into dressing up as I should. I like my simple white tees and jeans and colouring them up with jewelery and scarves. But that doesn't mean I don't have an interest in these things!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Nicole Richie is one of my favourite style icons! I think she has amazing style and well, creating her own fashion (Winter Kate) and jewellery (House of Harlow 1960) line among other things is reason enough to inspire me =)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are just a few pieces from her jewellery line, House of Harlow, in case you haven't seen them before:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway, my main point for this post is that I'm excited to hear that Benji and Joel (Nicole's fiance) are soon introducing their own fashion line for women! As a fan of GC for many years and understanding how down to earth and hard working these guys are I'm excited to see what they come up with. I have no doubt that even though Nicole is not part of the designing and production of this line, she will have influence on some part. Even just having Joel around her would have some effect on his perception of womens fashion. I'm hoping that this line will produce some more wallet-friendly pieces that are somewhat similar in style to Winter Kate. Here is what people.com had to say;</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>"When it comes to fashion, Good Charlotte’s Joel and Benji Madden seem to have mastered the laidback rocker vibe, and with the launch of their new Mad Picks capsule collection, the musicians are suggesting that the ladies follow suit. Teaming with Macy’s private brand American Rag, the guys have handpicked items from the collection for a limited-edition collaboration–just in time for back-to-school shopping! The line features on-trend boho vests, torn denim, and embellished tops. “I don’t care how a girl dresses, nothing is sexier than a girl who is confident, feels good about herself, and does things her own way,” says Joel, who is engaged to style maven Nicole Richie. “I love it when a girl can take simple basic pieces and wear them with her own style.” When it comes to their own unique look, it’s all about clothes that can be dressed up or down. “We like a T-shirt you can throw a jacket over for dinner,” adds Joel. “It’s important for us to have clothes which we can both walk on stage or relax at home.” Starting September 11, the brothers will have a chance to flex their style muscle on stage, when they perform in a series of free concerts at select Macy’s stores, showcasing tunes from their new album Cardiology, due November 2. Mad Picks will launch at select Macy’s stores and on macys.com August 25!"</em></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">* Saturday, 9/11: Cherry Hill, NJ – Macy’s Cherry Hill</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">* Saturday, 10/23: Skokie, IL – Macy’s Old Orchard </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Now I haven't seen GC live since '05 but I know that they are amazing live and I would LOVE to go to an intimate acoustic set so I highly recommend heading along for the music alone.
