I was going to donate this dress, but I'm glad I fished it out of the donation bag ... it's fun to figure out new ways to wear it. :)Carriehttp://petalbypetal11.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860217430618798778.post-5883595529023105882012-07-18T08:18:50.890-07:002012-07-18T08:18:50.890-07:00Love these looks!

This class is great fun -- it makes up for those semesters when I had to take classes like database evaluation (useful info, just kind of excruciating to spend hours delving around in a database and finding out how shoddily it's put together :p). I hope you check out Block - I'd like to hear what you think of her work. :)Carriehttp://petalbypetal11.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860217430618798778.post-88814585065625682362012-07-11T12:55:49.327-07:002012-07-11T12:55:49.327-07:00Thanks, Kat!

Cooper and L'Engle are two of my favorite authors (books are on my shelf), but I hadn't heard of Francesca Lia Block. I'll have to check her out.Brandi {nyao}http://www.notyouraverageordinary.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860217430618798778.post-456236879522993362012-07-10T14:07:36.257-07:002012-07-10T14:07:36.257-07:00I definitely love the first look :) I can't sa...I definitely love the first look :) I can't say I'm much of a reader.. probably haven't found the time to settle into a good one yet :) Keep it up with those exercises!

I remember "Missing Angel Juan" as one of my particular favorites. :)Carriehttp://petalbypetal11.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860217430618798778.post-29169121375866698312012-07-10T12:22:23.158-07:002012-07-10T12:22:23.158-07:00Thanks for the encouragement on the exercises!

That might be a really fun way to present the books.<br /> I'm impatiently waiting for my requested books to be put on hold at the library so I can reacquaint myself with her work. Also, I was excited to see that she's published some stuff in the last few years that I didn't know about. :)Carriehttp://petalbypetal11.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860217430618798778.post-20740828435043225882012-07-10T09:36:15.608-07:002012-07-10T09:36:15.608-07:00Block is wonderfully out there!

I took an adolescent literature class in grad school; typically, it covered the classics, but our professor decided to cover things from the last ten years, so we got to read things like The Hunger Games, The Graveyard Book, and American-Born Chinese. AMAZING stuff, adolescent lit is. :)<br /><br />I'm actually not familiar with Block at all; after I googled her, however, now my interest is piqued, and since I am visiting the library today, hopefully I can find some of her goodies!<br /><br />Finally, I LOVE the first shirtdress look with the collar peeking out from underneath the shirt.

I've been doing butt and thigh exercises for 4 weeks and am just now seeing the results.Wilharris3http://wilharris3.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
