I'm in northern Indiana, and becca's in Chicago. It's perfectly normal for a Great Lakes spring to swing from 25 to 65 in 12 hours. We also alternate between raging storms and clear skies.

The dresses are beautiful, but I don't know if I would call them budget by any means... I don't know about most people, but I can't run out and buy myself a dress over 75 dollars, let alone 200!

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
