Engaged To Be Engaged
![]() |
My brains are going into my feet! |
It's true, we are have discussed things like, "How many children do you want?" and "Do not propose to me at Comic Con 2014!" And, perhaps we are getting even more serious, talking about us moving in together next year and then getting engaged and then getting married the following year. And then of course two kids. I'm kinda amazed he hasn't run away screaming, hahahah.
Now don't panic, we're not running away and eloping. This would all be months away, after we have spent more time together dating. But, if things continue to goes as well as they have been, well..
It's funny how when you meet the right person, there's no doubt or hesitation or having to think about it. There's just excitement over what's to come!

Giving Tuesday & the USO
Mipsterz
"Wait, they hate us cuz we're Muslims? I thought they hated us cuz we were hipsters!"
I love this video. I know there's been some controversy over it, but I love how these girls express themselves while still practicing their faith. I feel like Islam is a very foreign and kinda scary concept to many Americans, and I love how these girls show how fun and and every day they are.

UPDATE: Aww video was delated because apparently some dummies did not get permission to actually use the music. Here's an animated GIF from it to give you at least an idea:

Ten Winter Coats
Winter has definitely arrived in DC! The temperatures are just frigid, I can barely take the idea of going outside! It's definitely time to break out the winter coats.... but do you look in your closet and only see a boring black wool coat? Time to invest in some statement outerwear!

First Comes Love
![]() |
Not yet :P |
I admit for awhile I was fighting it. I didn't believe I could love someone after four months when we rarely get to spend time together. But I just can't fight this feeling anymore!
But I'm tired of trying to be logical about this. I know how special this relationship is, there's no hiding, there's no pretending to be someone else, he hasn't even been scared off by my ridiculous mood swings. I haven't been scared off by his mushiness. He talks about buying Christmas gifts for my dogs. We both know what we want out of life and it's pretty much the same thing.
I started off this trip knowing I would say it. As I has mentioned, I had been fighting it for a little. Logically, I know that we don't know each other as well as I would like - it's been just four months and we don't even live in the same state! But than I realized that if something would happen to either of us, I would regret forever not saying it.
Of course, he managed to say it first, hahah. I was going to tell him the first night, but he started getting super mushy. I just can't respond to mush with mush, hahaha. But on the second night, after driving home from his mom's (I met his mother!), he told me and I was so excited to tell him back.
So yay, I'm in love!!

My Style Challenge: 2013 USO Gala
As you know, every year I work the USO Gala! In 2011 I wore a vintage gown, and in 2012 I wore a beloved BCBG cocktail dress I found that wearing a gown is better so I can run about in my wedge boots, so I went back to a long dress this year. And I picked up a tres fabu number courtesy of Sherri Hill!

Inspiration Board: Sneakers
I've been meaning to post an inspo board on how to fashionably wear sneakers for awhile now, but things have been just so crazy!
So the outfit I created let the sneakers do the talking, with bright neon colors. I paired with some simple, skinny black ankle pants, a soft tee with some neon accents to tie back to the kicks, and more black and neutral accessories! Would you try dressed up sneakers?
