"... and I am a Material Girl"

Oh, fabulous, a new post! I was thinking how little I shared on my blog about my love for Madonna. I think only readers who have followed me for awhile may know how much I adore her. To me, she is a strong, creative, and talented woman. She also pushes boundaries, makes others uncomfortable, and refuses to apologize. However, she inspires many, like me. I think she's a fantastic role model. She has been one of mine since middle school.

Anyway, in early March, one of my biggest dreams came true. I bought a ticket to see Madonna in concert when her tour stops in St. Paul this November. Since then, my excitement has reached unbelievable heights. I have become a little obsessed, blasting her music every day, several times a day, pinning photos to Pinterest, and browsing her clothing collection, Material Girl. I usually skip celebrity brands, but this one just happens to mirror my own personal style so well I may have to brave Memorial Day shopping tomorrow to check it out in person.  I especially love this dress, because it stands out from the rest of the collection, and Macy's clothing in general.

I should not be surprised. Madonna has always been a fashion icon, and she has tried everthing. What do you think of all her looks? Do you have a favorite? I thought she channeled the "old Hollywood glamour" well, and she looked AMAZING opening her Sticky and Sweet Tour a few years ago.





I think I need boots, and my long blonde hair back.

What I'm into ...

I actually have a TON I could post about, but I have been so busy, I just cannot seem to blog. I am student teacher right now, and my life consists of teaching all day, coming home, and watching a movie while I grade or plan lessons. However, here is some of what I have been interested in lately:

• The minions from Despicable Me
• Madonna music videos on YouTube
• The note penciled in a used copy Charles Dickens' Bleak House I recently bought. The book was originally a son-to-mother gift.
• The costumes in Restoration
• Legally Blonde the Musical
• Tons of herbal tea, because I am coming down with a cold ...
