February Obsessed List, 2010

Okay, so I missed a few months, but I’m bringing the “Obsessed List” back, and I’m going to TRY and remember to post at the start of every month! If you know me, you know that when I enjoy something, a LOT, well, I can get a bit obsessed. When I think of all my favorite things together in the world, I get that snuggly-pillow-feeling inside. Here is my “Obsessed List” for February. What are you totally drooling over this month?! Leave a comment with your favorite things. I wanna know!

WEAR:: I’m all about bargain hunting for cute trendy clothes that look great (not cheap). I’ve been scoring lately at Forever 21 or finding killer deals at other random stores. I really only buy things that I truly fall in love with and know I’ll be holding on to for a while. I’m a horrible decision maker and I will stand and waiver for hours, so my thought process is pretty much this; “Can I see myself wearing this every day? Can I live without it? What do I already have that I can wear it with?”. If it’s what I deem an “instant classic” then I MUST HAVE. Lately I’ve been all about “Cheap-leather-jackets-that-don’t-look-cheap-at-all-and-I-won’t-care-if-something-bad-happens-to-them-because-it’s-cheap,-like-being-caught-in-a-rainstorm” Coats. I found this SUPER cute [Faux red leather jacket] from Forever 21 last week. Go ahead and buy it, it’s adorable. Just don’t wear it when we hang out together, please?kaythanks :) xoxo

LIFESTYLE:: I started working out more regularly around Thanksgiving of last year, but it wasn’t until Christmas break that I decided to once and for all re-dedicate myself to working out. If you follow me on [Twitter] you have probably heard me chatting about running or doing Hot Yoga. I’m TOTALLY addicted to Hot Yoga, and running my humble 3 mile-loop. Trust me, I was TERRIFIED the first time I went to Hot Yoga with a friend, but I’m glad she convinced me because it’s totally amazing.

WATCH:: [Avatar]. Do I really need an explanation for the #1 film of ALL time?

LISTEN:: I’m in DIRE need of new music to listen to. In high school I was a music JUNKIE. I personally owned over 500 CDs. I love ALL kinds of music, and even though I love cheesy pop-music, I am pretty proud to say I have good taste in music too. Feeling a bit nostalgic at the start of the new decade I have decided to re-visit my love affair with music of my high-school years. Good music; music I looooove. At the top of my play list this week is [Death Cab for Cutie]. Not twilight-teenie-bopper-death-cab, but original-I-listened-to-them-before-they-were-huge-Death-Cab. (A very nice boy introduced them to me in high school. Thankyou :) )

HELP:: I love what [Switch Cities] is doing to Help Haiti with their art auctions. Photographers from all over the world have donated prints that are being auctioned off, with all the proceeds going to various organizations to help the people of Haiti. It feels so good to see so many people in the Photography community doing everything they can to network and give back. Plus all the photos are just yummy. I want them all!

Gail - Hi Michelle!

Been a long time fan of your work for ages…I’m a music junkie myself and couldn’t help but take note of your call out for new tunes… here’s some music finds I fell in love with in ’09 and blogged about. You can listen to the tracks on Lala — which is an AMAZING music site for discovering new tunes!
