Last month someone on my tumblr asked me about this spring's essentials. Since I did a fall essentials list last year I decided to put together one for this spring! Making an essentials list helps me figure out what I already own and what additions I need for my wardrobe for the season. I also threw in ideas of where to find the items in addition to styling tips. Hopefully this is helpful for someone else as well! Now I just have to wait for the warmer weather to come...

What are you going to be adding to your closet this spring?

Anyone who knows me knows my room is practically a cubby hole. It was originally a room for my toys when I was kid, but after sharing a room with my sister for well over a decade I was ready for my own space. The amount of things I own to the ratio of my room is ridiculous, so organization is so essential for me. My room is practically a closet with a bed in it. Lately I've been anxious to find an efficient way to organize my shoes, jeans and magazines. Thanks to my dad's help with some assembling this weekend I think I succeeded. Although my new set up doesn't display/fit all of my shoes, it does help A LOT. I'm so happy with the outcome. Despite the size, I really love my room. The way my clothing is displayed always keeps me inspired. My room is a perfect representation of myself and I think that that rules.

Now, I am anxiously waiting for the weather to make it's permanent change into Fall. If you live in New England you know how back and forth the weather is, which makes it hard to tell if it's here for good or now! It's been cooling down a lot this week (YAYAYAYAYAYA) so if it stays I might be changing my closet over from summer to fall/winter within the next two weeks!

A lot of people have been asking me to do a shoe collection, so I finally did it. I hope you enjoy it!

Many people have been asking to see what I got for my Birthday. I finally got around to making a video, I'm sorry for how horrible the camera lighting is, I need to invest in a good camera. Hope you enjoy it though. I also took pictures of most of the things. I am so thankful for everything I was given and able to buy thanks to my family and friends, you guys are the best!
