Tag, I'm it! ;)

Hello strangers! I really sorry I have not posted much. The fact is, I am kind of depressed with school, (that is the reason for all of the nature pictures, just looking at things like that make me feel a whole lot happier!) and some other things.

Easter is on its way, and coming much faster than I realize. I was just sitting here remembering how I used to get a new Easter dress every year. It makes me kind of sad it has stopped! ;( Of course I dress up, but I don't have a dress specifically for it. I also remember the Easter Egg hunts. Man, those were so much fun!

In other news, I was recently tagged by the lovely Sally, from "Everything is Better Pink."

Here are the rules:

-Click on the above button and paste onto your blog/website

-Answer the below questions

-Pass onto 10 bloggers that you love, go to their blog and let them know they have been tagged

1. Who is your style icon? Oh gosh, this is a tough one. I would have to say Audrey Hepburn, and Lilly Pulitzer. They have such a classy, preppy look, and it makes them unique.

2. What is your favorite socialite book? Kate Spade- Manners, Occasions, and Style. I also like Essentially Lilly, a guide to colorful entertaining, and Ina Gartens cook books.

3. Favorite party theme? One time I had a masquerade party where everyone dressed up in ball gowns, and I gave out masks. That was tons of fun!! I also like grown up tea parties, and a Lilly party would be great to!

4. Go to Halloween costume? I don't really celebrate Halloween, but if I did, I would probably be a safari girl, (Tan button down cuffed dress!!!!) or a leopard.

5. Extravagance you cannot live without? I dont have many extravagances that I truly need. I just love the simple things. I LOVED Sally's answer about fresh cut flowers. Our house is decorated with them. I also like my diamond stud earrings, and my faux pearl necklace from Kristin Pearce.

6. Living person you admire? Ina Garten, Julia Childs, and my grandma. I would have said Ruby Bridges, but sadly, she is not alive anymore.

7. Greatest Fear? This sounds absolutely ridiculous but (Wait should I actually be advertising this to the world? Oh well. ;) I HATE with a passion............ Crickets. Good grief they are scary!! But being realistic once again, my family or friends dying suddenly. I know where they will be going, which is a much better place than here, and I will see the again. But it still makes me scared.

8. Trait you deplore in yourself? I can suddenly judge a person (wrongly) in just the few minutes I have met them.

9. Which talent would you most like to have? I would love to be able to play the guitar, I would like to become a professional cake decorator or, wedding planner. (A florist would also be fun!)

10. Greatest Achievement? Finishing my LOOOONG science re-search paper. I feel very accomplished!! He he!

Blog Tag!!!

I am completely shocked! I never dreamed that I would get 54 followers! Incredible! ;) Thank you all!!

Moving on, Sweet, Sassy, Southern and Classy just tagged me to tell a little bit about my self.

Here are the rules:

1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award and insert a link to their blog.

2. Say 7 things about yourself.

3. Pass on the award to 15 other bloggers who you think are great!

4. Contact the other bloggers and let them know they have been chosen for this award.

---------------------------------

(Since I recently tagged people for a blog award, I will not be tagging anyone this time around, so feel free to just take it off of my blog, so that we can learn 7 things about you!! ;)

1. Mascara is definitely my favorite type of make up

2. Spring, and summer are my favorite seasons. (There has been waaay to much snow lately!)

3. I would love to be a cake decorator, florist, (Like my great grandma) or a wedding planner.

4. I wish Lilly Pulitzer was more affordable. Lilly P is such an inspiration

5. I am excited about college

6. As a highschooler, I am probably slightly weird to other people my age. I hate the mall, I Love Ina Garten,(I am working on buying all of her cookbooks- She is AMAZING!!) I watch the food network, and I am not really into Vampire Romances, (sorry guys!) I prefer watching an old Audrey Hepburn movie, (Or Irene Dunne) or a chick flick.

7. I LOVE watching the Olympics. It makes me want to be good at sports. Although sadly, I was never blessed in that area. Oh well! ;)

Tag, your it!

XOXO
