What I wore/What I'm reading: I also loved today because I got my new Glamour magazine. They focused on street style in this issue which I thought was neat, and they featured fashion bloggers. Gabi Gregg at http://www.youngfatandfabulous.com/ is my new icon. She is a gorgeous plus sized blogger and I LOVE her style. And I love how she does not care about her size. She posted photos of her in a bikini and even a tent style maxi dress, both which would be considered "no's" for bigger people. One quote from the magazine interview was, "Ignore the rules. I always tell my readers to stop saying 'I wish I could pull that off,' and just do it!"
So today I decided to wear my romper! Huge fashion risk for me. I've been trying to find the perfect cheap romper and I tried on a strapless one earlier this summer that just did not look the best. But I ended up finding a tank top style blue one from Forever21 that was on sale for $10 so I thought I might as well buy it. And I loved wearing it today! It keeps me cool and is so cute for the summer time. Here it is paired with a white tank, forever 21 necklace and Nordstroms sweater (with Dad and sissy downtown):

What I bought: While we were downtown I made a few purchases, of course. I found washi tape! I've been reading about it on a million different blogs, and I found it at a bookstore. I also discovered this vinal type fabric that came in a ton of different prints. It was $3 a foot so I just got a little but I think I am going to use it for a journal or planner cover. My mom got me this cute pen that says it has an extra large ink holder and will last for 7 years; I just liked the cute feather on the top. :)
What I'm listening to: I have never watched The Voice before in my life until this week. I watched the final episode, and although I was not thrilled, I loved Javier Colon's voice! Here is the youtube video of Stich by Stich which is the first song I heard by him.
What I'm creating: The first page I painted yellow and cut out several quotes from another book I got at a thrift store. I found the frames in a different Nordstroms catalogue, and the red flowers is a stamp from my aunt that I put on top of blue watercolor paper I made.
The second page is a collection of papers I got today. The black and white frame was the wrapping from the new pen I got today, and the checked paper is from my pizza today! Don't worry I tore it off before it got all gross from the pizza, although my sister was mortified when I told her I was going to use it in some project. :)
My mom thought I should make the photos bigger so readers could see my pages better! What do you think of the larger size?
Much love.
