[London Fog] Petite All-Weather Hooded Trench Coat: $137.99

Since I live in such a rainy and cold weather I was willing to fork over extra money for this because I knew it would protect me from the rain and that I would be using it a lot. Definitely worth the extra money spent.

10 of my Favorite Leading Ladies on the Big Screen

These ladies are surely kick ass. They show independence, cut throat talents, and a brain to match their vast beauty. These women complete the movies that have filled my late nights with happiness, popcorn, and blankets. The inspiration I feel from all of these women has helped me to become more independent and aggressively fearless of what others thinkĀ of me. While many of them, and the films they were a part of, have problems in themselves, their influence on me has always been a positive one. The stark beauty, talent, and independence of each character makes me want to be my own brand of beauty, complete with the ability to take the world by storm: and that’s pretty cool.
