the first of many to come!

Hi world.


After much admiration, inspiration, and lurking around various other blogs belonging to amazingly beautiful, fashionable, and creative ladies, I finally decided to stop the dreaming and begin one of my own.

Straight off however, I'd like to mention that I'm not like many of the other ladies that have created some great fashion blogs. I'm not pretty, tall, thin, or impressive in any way.

I'm not even your average American girl.

I was born in Mexico, completely schooled in the United States, and wishing I was in England the whole time. I'm pretty average height, have a terrible silhouette, hate my smile, and do not photograph well at all. It'll be rare that I smile in photos.

However, I'm quirky and my dark eyes, thick hair, and awkward stance make me that much more unique and beautiful! I've never tried to be the girl that was idolized for her beauty and unattainability. If anything, I want to be the girl that's so depressingly normal other girlies feel great about themselves just looking at me, ha ha!

So here I am. My name is Laura, lover of coffee, books, photographs, indie movies, mellow music, birds, gloomy days, deep thoughts, and life in general.

I hope that I can make this mildly fascinating and that you will come back and read often! I have big plans, but my endeavors sometimes get lost in the chaos of my head.
