1. RINGS




2. JAMIE DORNAN

3. PHOTOGRAPHY
these are some seriously stunning photographs by flickr user nerijuskio.
i love the up "close & personal" feel of them..














4. 2009 CALENDER
this calender features the names of celebrities and icons on their birth month. i love all the different fonts...so pretty!





5. REAL FAKE WATCHES
ahh these realfakewatches are SO COOL! they're made out of leather & you can custom order them with a specific time if you want. click the link to check out the prices!







6. BASICS
i love the way ashley olsen wears simple clothing but still makes it chic and interesting.





hahaha, i literally laughed for ten minutes after i watched this.

8. THE REGAL TWELVE
these photos are AMAZING (especially for a history major, like me!) I chose my 8 favorites. Can you tell which royal figures these models are portraying? (I'll put the answers at the bottom)








In Order: Catherine the Great, Elizabeth I, Olympias, Alexandra Romanov, Christina of Sweden, Agrippa, Isabella of Spain, Marie Antoinette

9. VOGUE DEUTSCH
this spread is beautiful!







10. 189PINEVIEW

3. Emotions without faces. There's something really innocent and pure about that.

6. I wish I could do that as well as they do!

10. Everyone needs to have these ingrained in the back of their eyelids so they can read it while they sleep.

oh my, I am becoming a serial commenter! I can't help it! I just had to say, don't get me started on jamie dornan.

My friend and I somehow got to talking about him a while ago and were both impressed that each other knew who he even was. So that night we started a Jamie Dornan Fan Club group on facebook as a personal joke. And then I never looked at it again for about a year, but when I did I found that heaps of people had joined and posted photos and stuff. It was quite funny and surprising!

Anyway, if you haven't already seen it you must watch him in the Dior Homme commercial. HOT.

5 Things I love about Betseys Post:
1. The Quotes: They are so beautiful and inspiring.
2. As a history major as well, the model post was greatly appreciated! I stared at Catherine the Great for approximately 2 minutes in complete awe.
3. Forever 21 rings have definately gotten classier and more elegant looking. Excellent.
4. Your adoration of Mary Kates fashion.
5. How every post is never disappointing and only ceases to leave a smile on any readers face.

Susanna-Cole said...

Ah I always adore the things you pick! You have great taste! :)

And oh rings, I love them, if they're like the ones you posted and not just a diamond ring (kind of boring if you ask me :P) but for some reason I have never been one to wear rings... hm, perhaps I'll have to change that! :D

Thanks for your comment, I always love hearing from you! :)
