The Historian By Elizabeth Kostova This is a book I'd never heard of before coming across it on Goodreads Bookswap, which is a shame, because it's a gem. Most of the vampire stories that have come out recently have been along the lines of Twilight - at the most basic,...
I've been a fan of ModCloth for quite awhile now (as evidenced by frequent appearance of their items in my outfit posts), so I am very excited to announce that I've been selected as a 2012 Style Ambassador for ModCloth! In other words, I'll be part of their stylist...
