So, I've done the whole blogging scene before and although I always end up feeling as though the effort exceeds the reward, it can be a cathartic experience, albeit one that can verge on the narcissistic for some.While I hardly delude myself so far as to think that anything I will write on here is of any significance, it is nice to have a space to work out thoughts and share a little about what makes me, well - me, and what I enjoy.

lookbook.nu/ I cannot get enough of this website! It's true that not all these looks are wearable in the "real world," but seeing regular people express their sense of personal style never ceases to entertain and inspire me.
- Fashion Item: Clear Clubmaster Glasses
Despite the fact that thes

e are admittedly on the poser-esque side, I adore them. They add flair to any otherwise ho-hum ensemble and have become my new go-to accessory.
- TV Show: My Life as Liz (on MTV)
While I cringe at the thought that I actually just admitted my passion for an MTV show, I

can't help myself. It's as if
My So Called Life and Urban Outfitters got together and had a quirky, beautiful, and self-deprecating baby - except this baby is actually in high school. "Reality" television that centers around an unsung hero for hipster nerds everywhere? Yes, please!
- Music: Teen Dream, Beach House
Since the moment I unwrapped my new yellow ipod on Valentine's Day (thanks, Rob - love you!), I couldn't wait to fill it with two things: Phish shows and new, uncharted bands. I was introduced to Beach House by the lovely folks on the Sirius XMU channel and I couldn't get their haunting, dreamy melodies out of my head. While the band embodies a mood that is almost diametrically opposed to any vibe that could be considered "beachy" (read: playful, carefree, sunny) perhaps they do echo that feeling you get when you stand gazing out into the ocean - mesmerized by the lonely moon's sharp angles on the crashing foam - that undeniable feeling of just how small you are in this world.
