Mad About Mint: The Look for Less

I was given a fantastic idea last night after posting my first Polyvore collage. Why not create the same look, but on a way more realistic budget? With that, the Look for Less was born. I tried to recreate the outfit with all pieces being (about) $50 or less.

Necklace, T-Shirt, Bag, Shoes, Jeans

As you can see, I'm a sucker for Target and Forever 21. Where do you shop for great trends at affordable prices?

Mad About Mint

Have any of you used Polyvore before? I just joined because I love fashion collages so I thought I'd give it a try.

I'm obsessed with the color green, mint in particular. I would be happy having an entire closet full of the color, but since that's unrealistic, I figured I would make a pretend monochrome summer outfit, with some other colors thrown in for good measure.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5

If you had to choose one color to fill your closet with, what would it be?

Mid-Year Resolutions

It's been quite a while since I've spent any time on my much neglected blog. With nudging from friends, I've finally decided to make my blog a priority in my life again and with that, my mid-year resolutions were born.

Now, I realize "mid-year resolutions" aren't really a thing, but since I have never once in my life kept a new year resolution, why not try something a little different! Since it's almost June, and a new season is upon us, now is the perfect time. Let's begin!

Since Until Next Time is becoming a priority again, I will blog at least 4 times a week.
In order to promote a healthier sleep cycle, I will read instead of watching TV before bed.
In order to become a more financially responsible adult, I will create a budget and actually stick to it.
As inspired by other bloggers, I will challenge myself to the Day Zero Project: 101 Things in 1000 Days Challenge.
To keep both my mind and body healthy, I will work out for at least 30 minutes 5 days a week.
In order to give myself fitness goals, I will run at least two 5K races in the next 6 months and a 10K in 2013.
To keep up my new lifestyle, I will keep my diet healthy and stop drinking soda.
To help with my new healthier diet, I will cook new, healthy meals weekly.

I think this is a good start to a better, healthier - both mentally and physically - Erin. I'll be compiling my 101 in 1000 list in the next few weeks so please leave suggestions in the comments! Also, if there's anything you want to hear about on here, let me know!

Now I want to know - what will your mid-year resolutions be??

Until next time... xo

Why the Original Supermodels STILL Rule the World

I just stumbled across this sensational new video for Duran Duran's most recent single, Girl Panic! Shot by mega music video director Jonas Akerlund the video stars some of the original Supermodels - Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Eva Herzigova, Helena Christensen and Yasmin Le Bon - as the band shooting a documentary of their 30 years in the biz. 80s music, supermodels, jaw dropping fashion...what more do you need!?

They even shot a cover story with Harper's Bazaar UK about the video.

I can't stop listening to the song, so I thought I'd share. Enjoy!

Until next time... xo

Standing the Test of Time - Part 4

Believe it or not, I not only enjoy watching copious amounts of TV targeted at teenage girls, but I also love to read. Who knew, right? It's true...I even have my Kindle charged and ready to go in my purse at all times. I used to hate to read back in high school when we were tasked to read and report on the classics. I'm not really sure why I hated it so much, but getting through a book we were assigned was like pulling teeth. It wasn't until I went to college that I really began to enjoy reading for pleasure. And, I have to admit, the book that really sucked me in and got me excited about literature was Harry Potter! Since then I've even reread a lot of books from high school and have realized just how great they really are. I guess there's a reason they are taught in high schools across the country.

For part 4 of my time capsule series, I have decided that I would share with you all my favorite books. Here we go:

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann

The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory

Harry Potter and... (all 7 books!) by J.K. Rowling

The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins

I realize I didn't include the Twilight books, which was a tough decision for me, especially since I have read the entire series multiple times. Don't get me wrong. I love the series, but I don't know that it should be included here. Sorry Twilight fans! There are a million (yes, that's an exact number) other books that I love that were left out too, so if you want to know what they are, just ask me! Do you all have any favorites that everyone should read at some point in their lives?

Until next time... xo

Tumbling like a Tumbleweed

One of my favorite things to do in my down time is peruse fashion/style Tumblrs. Not only do they supply me with endless beautiful pictures, but also styling ideas for myself. Since I'm feeling awfully share-y this morning, I figured I'd share some of my favorites with you!
