MIA and Harry Potter - sorry no clever song title this time!



So I've rewritten this post about a million times (well maybe a few less than that, but you get the idea) and each time it changes drastically. Given that it takes days for a rewrite, that's understandable, but still.  I know it's been quite a while since my last post, honestly I got a little burnt out on the 30 for 30 challenge and needed a break. I also have been somewhat distracted the last few weeks, and I couldn't be happier with my little distraction. These last few weeks have been a whirlwind in the best possible way. It's weird how things can be so amazing, yet be tough as hell--I've cried more happy tears than I can count and feel absolutely blissful even if these next few weeks (5 to be exact!) are going to be a battle. I know I sound completely obscure but for now I'm playing this one pretty close to the chest as to not jinx myself and screw it up.

So here is something I worked on WEEKS ago--but since it was during the 30 for 30 challenge, it got thrown by the wayside a bit. Yes, I'll admit to it--I'm a Harry Potter Freak, and I totally went to the midnight premier a few weeks ago and had a BLAST! I also took the opportunity to do a little "day to night" change up in honor of the night. Here's the change-a-roo and also a few highlights of the evening. This is gonna be a long one...

Day: Yeah I wore a HP shirt to work. And I'm THAT excited.
Top: Hot Topic, Skirt: Anthropologie, Shoes: Payless
Bracelet: Forever 21, Ring: Modcloth


Night: Even more excited now that's it's closer!
Time to wait in line for HOURS!
The Change: Jeans: Gap, Shoes: Payless,
Belt: Thrifted, Necklace: Two's Co


Yeah... I made vegan Hallows cookies. I'm dope like that.




And... The Premier!

  3. Love your day to night change up and the cookies - how cool! I waited til Sunday that weekend to see it to avoid the crowds. But I totally wore my Gryffindor Seeker t-shirt. It was awesome but bittersweet. No more new movies in the theatres :(
