</div><div style="text-align: center;">okay, now onto my promised review of <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/qxp26979_333181_sespider/aussie/3_minute_miracle_sydney_smooth_treatment.htm">aussie 3-minute miracle deep conditioner</a>. it really did make my hair super-soft, the only not-so-great thing was it sort of killed my waves. oh well. it smells really fresh, and when you first put it on it has an almost-overpowering grape smell, but that mostly goes away when you wash it out. it also comes in this nifty little squeeze bottle that doesn't even need a lid, which is pretty handy. so i would recommend it. (haha, pretty comprehensive review, right?) (that was sarcasm, by the way.) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">and i know this is a crap post, but i can't come up with anything better. so, to sum it up, probably a slow-down on posting (but no blog-quitting or anything, don't worry!) but i'll try to keep up with all your blogs. deal?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

<br />
but really, i feel like i've been thinking about the future a lot lately... mostly since soon i'll be making decisions that will seriously impact it. as in, bigger decisions than i've ever made before. which kind of scares me, but at the same time, makes me so excited i could burst. i definitely don't want an office job, or one that ties me down/that i'd hate going to everyday... yeah. sorry to dump all of that on you. since you didn't come here to listen to me ramble, here are some pretty pictures to make up for it:<br />

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">being a photographer would be my absolute dream job, but i'm not sure how that'd work out. being any type of fine artist would be amazing, actually. i know your supposed to get over that sort of thing by the time you're 7, but i never did. i suppose my "practical" job choice would be graphic designer, or maybe something related to psychology? i'm not sure... </span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">like you can see on my sidebar, right now i'd really like a pair of oxfords and floral tights. i'm so ready for spring right now... a pair of geek glasses or wayfarer-style shades would also be nice. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px;">do people know about your blog? </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px;">what are your hobbies? </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">hobbies... hmm... doesn't that usually include having free time? ;) although when i can, i love to draw/paint. i'm not very good at either, but i like expressing myself. and also read loads of books, when i have spare time. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><b><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">any secret talents? </span></b></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">haha, i wish! although i do make a mean chocolate cake. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px;">what is your hair like naturally?</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">ravioli! i love anything in a cute little package... cupcakes, dumplings, you name it. </span></div></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">hmmm... where to begin? well, there's all you lovely bloggers out there. ;) really, people on the internet are amazing, with flickr and blogging and everything. and of course there's gala darling (i know i mention her all the time, but she's fantastic!), and other various photographers and illustrators. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">i just think lowercase letters are more visually appealing... it actually kind of runs in the family.

(i'm thinking about making a zine... with all my copious spare time, of course. :p any thoughts on this?)<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nC3u4o0BjdQ/S1pgjtsRi6I/AAAAAAAAAoc/h8V3PIp8iZ8/s1600-h/fashion+is+fun.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nC3u4o0BjdQ/S1pgjtsRi6I/AAAAAAAAAoc/h8V3PIp8iZ8/s640/fashion+is+fun.jpg" width="427" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">also, i'd just like to say i'm totally envious of all the bloggers out there who "partner-blog," as in there are two people posting to the same blog. (i.e. <a href="http://ifthesokfitz.blogspot.com/">if the sok fitz</a>, <a href="http://pigtailsandblushingcheeks.blogspot.com/">pigtails and blushing cheeks</a>, <a href="http://thewearingtimes.blogspot.com/">the wearing times</a>, ect.) it'd be nice to have someone who'd pick up the slack when i can't post and help take outfit shots, plus being able to share the whole love of fashion bit. (none of my friends are into fashion the way i am, i don't even think any of them know who alexander mcqueen is. i love them anyway, though. <3) then again, i'm kinda o.c.d. about my blog layout--i want it to be exactly how i imagine it, no compromises. ;)<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">do any of you partner-blog? what's it like? and those of you who blog alone (yeah singles!), did you ever wish there was someone you shared it with? <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">i'd just like to say two things. one, this may be the comfiest outfit of all time. (according to my mac, "jeggings" isn't a word. who decided that?!) and two, did you know they actually have stores where they sell nothing but millions of little marshmallow peeps? fortunately, they also sell t-shirts, which is where i got this little beauty. (it says "inside we're all the same.")<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">i swear, i think my friends and i have gotten into every "off-limits" place our school has to offer. (we're very good at not getting caught/talking our way out of trouble...) personally, i'm rather fond of our greenhouse full of dead plants. it ranks right up there with construction sites and laundromats on my list of best places for photoshoots. i'm thinking about sneaking back with some costumes/props. wish me luck! <3<br />

</div></div><div style="text-align: center;">and thank you for all the lovely comments last post. <3 i'll try to respond back asap!<br />
p.s. i feel like a lot of bloggers are getting (or at least discussing) tattoos recently. has anyone else noticed this?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nC3u4o0BjdQ/S0qgn6JjQQI/AAAAAAAAAnM/lPNfPjbzW0I/s1600-h/fhole+tattoo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nC3u4o0BjdQ/S0qgn6JjQQI/AAAAAAAAAnM/lPNfPjbzW0I/s400/fhole+tattoo.jpg" /></a><br />
</div>and p.p.s. i love <a href="http://hipstermusings.blogspot.com/2010/01/william-it-was-really-nothing.html">isabel's new f-hole tattoos</a>, i think it's such a creative design... plus it reminds me of that quote, "a body is like a cello, it's your job to work out how to play it." forget where it's from, though. anyone care to refresh my memory?<br />

</div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">i know i'm behind (5 days, in fact), but what did you guys wear? something sparkly, i hope!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">*but really, sorry for all the shadows. none of my pictures turned out the way i wanted, so i'll leave you with this one even though you can't see my cool houndstooth tights... just pretend it's supposed to be a silhouette shot. much better now, no?</span><br />

</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">i think i know what i'll be doing tomorrow... or what i'd be doing, if i didn't have school tomorrow. unfortunately, today is my last day of winter break. boo. who knows. maybe i'll suddenly get a mysterious illness and not be able to make it. ;)<br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-weight: normal;">anyway, here’s how to do it: (according to the coveted)</span><br />
</b><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">materials: box of <a href="http://www.ritdye.com/home.lasso" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.ritdye.com');" target="_blank">rit dye, </a>salt, detergent, pantyhose (light colored, or flesh color is fine).<br />
</div>1. mix your dye bath… i usually use my mop bucket in the shower.<br />
2. rinse & wring your pantyhose, the gradient will be easier to create if the material is damp.<br />
3. dip the dampened pantyhose into the dye bath, don’t submerge them in the dye, but dip half way or or however you would like to have colored.<br />
4. hang the pantyhose in the shower for an hour or so, maybe two… this will allow gravity to pull the dye to the bottom creating the gradient.<br />
5. rinse the excess dye, and hang dry.<br />

</div>also, happy blog-birthday to me! ;) it is officially <i>musings of a born socialite</i>'s one-year anniversary, and i can't believe how far i've come... thank you all for supporting me! hugs and kisses all around. <3<br />
and in celebration of my blog-birthday/almost at 100 posts (yes, it's taken me a year to get that far... i'm not a very consistent blogger!), i've decided to maybe do a q&a type post? so if you have any questions about me/my blog/the meaning of life (delete as appropriate), just ask away in the comments!<br />

</div>wow... it's nearly the end of 2009, i can't believe how time's flown, but at the same time, how so much has happened. i started this blog, started attending a new school, and finally really started developing my style, along with so many other wonderful, amazing things that make me who i am now. :) when i look back on some of <a href="http://musingsofabornsocialite.blogspot.com/2009/01/happy-new-year.html">my resolutions for this year</a>, i'm so happy and can go check-check-check on most of them. some others, well... 2010's a new start, isn't it? i love new years, and the whole feeling of starting fresh. and all the new possibilities of course. <3 here are some of my resolutions for this year:<br />
<br />
~get a polariod camera. take pictures.<br />
<br />
~take more pictures period. my goal is to try to take a few everyday. (i've been thinking about participating in <a href="http://photojojo.com/content/tutorials/project-365-take-a-photo-a-day/">the 365 challenge</a>...)<br />
<br />
~look more into vegetarianism--i've thought about it a lot recently, and i think i'm ready to take the plunge...<br />
<br />
~keep a moleskin with me at all times--for when inspiration strikes. (and to keep more organized!)<br />
<br />
~learn french.<br />
<br />
~wear fabulous underwear-everyone knows how important a good foundation is. ;) <br />
<br />
~make life an adventure. <3<br />
<br />
hopefully i'll be able to make some plans for the 31st... and no matter what, i'll be wearing something crazy. (and preferably sequin-y!) sigh... sometime i'd really love to be in new york and be able to see the ball drop in person. and of course have someone next to me to kiss at midnight. ;)<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51j5VHZEZcL._AA260_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51j5VHZEZcL._AA260_.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i am also pretty fond of <a href="http://www.target.com/Rodarte-Target-Juniors-Tulle-Crepe/dp/B002ULBLTG/ref=br_1_39?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&searchView=grid5&searchNodeID=1288307011&node=1288307011&searchRank=salesrank&searchPage=2&searchSize=30&id=Rodarte%20Target%20Juniors%20Tulle%20Crepe">this skirt</a>, which i've already seen on a few fashion bloggers... ahem <a href="http://tavi-thenewgirlintown.blogspot.com/2009/12/week.html">tavi</a> and <a href="http://modernmagik.blogspot.com/2009/12/20-years-old-still-playing-dress-up.html">kori</a>. <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41D6U-Of%2BdL._AA260_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41D6U-Of%2BdL._AA260_.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">finally, i really like <a href="http://www.target.com/Rodarte-Target-Juniors-Swiss-Printed/dp/B002ULGL6O/ref=br_1_23?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&searchView=grid5&searchNodeID=1288307011&node=1288307011&searchRank=salesrank&searchPage=1&searchSize=150&id=Rodarte%20Target%20Juniors%20Swiss%20Printed">this mesh-y top</a>, i think it'd look great under a dress or something for that fake-lace-collar look. <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ukJ1dzuQL._AA260_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ukJ1dzuQL._AA260_.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">on the other hand, they also had some really generic stuff, like a <a href="http://www.target.com/Rodarte-Target-Juniors-Cotton-Sleeve/dp/B002ULBZEC/ref=br_1_9?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&searchView=grid5&searchNodeID=1288307011&node=1288307011&searchRank=salesrank&searchPage=1&searchSize=30&id=Rodarte%20Target%20Juniors%20Cotton%20Sleeve">plain grey t-shirt </a>(whaat?) and all these bikinis. sorry, target, but it's december, and and have absolutely no inclination whatsoever to buy swimwear. well, that's my mini-review.<b> so, what did you think of the collection? will you be buying anything from it as an early christmas present to yourself? ;) </b><br />
