New Outfits
New (Old) Movies
Take some style inspiration from the blondes in Hitchcock's North by Northwest and Rear Window. Or, if you're in need of a smile, try watching the iconic Singin' in the Rain.
New Mail
This month, we talked about how to write a letter to a politician. On a lighter note, I also shared some of my favorite stationary items and shared what was in the latest Popbasic Box. By the way, if you're interested in buying Popbasic's Ashbury Collection- or any future collection!- This link will get you fifteen dollars off (Even if you've already signed up with the company!)
New Plans
April has been a crazy month. It started off with a road trip over our spring break. Along the way, I got to meet up with fellow Flock Together Blogger- Hannah of Braided Bandit. It was a first time meeting another blogger in real life for us both; she's a doll.
On the blog, these lovely suggestions set the tone for the month. Other ladies got to spread some positivity when they they shared what their favorite physical feature was. This month, I was tickled to be featured on Anna's blog, and I also was lucky enough to be interviewed by Popbasic!

I really enjoyed that French eating article. Now I'm wishing I had a croissant and cup of hot cocoa for breakfast myself...hehe.
Reply DeleteThat rose print skirt of yours is one of my favorites. So elegant and classic!
All those movies! North by Northwest is up there on my favorites list. Seriously, is there anything better than Hitchcock and Cary Grant? :-)
...maybe James Stewart and Hitchcock come close :D
DeleteI can't believe tomorrow is May. This year is going by fast. I love your floral skirt!
Reply DeleteThank you!
DeleteThanks for the roundup! I've missed so much stuff being really busy lately, but now lots of links.
Reply DeleteI love the one about the tattoos and the babies. :)
I wouldn't want a tattoo, but... it definitely opens my eyes to a double standard!
DeleteI still can't get over the fact that you and Hannah had the chance to meet. I wish we could all get together, that would be so much fun!
Reply DeleteIt really, really would!
DeleteI like these link posts!
Reply Delete"Equality doesn’t mean women will all make the same choice. It means women will be treated the same no matter what choices they make." Smart girl!
I read the one about babies and tattoos on Facebook too - lololol
Interestingly, a blogger friend (Ashley of Southern California Girl, who commented above actually) wrote about her decision to be a stay at home mom after recently having their daughter. She worked as a surgical nurse and said (not sure if online or in real life) that she felt some backlash for that decision from some feminists, which is so sad. People need to make the choices right for them; I love how this young woman put it :D
