A New Name

I'd been thinking about changing my blog's name for a long time, but couldn't think of anything until today when I thought up "All Gussied Up"...which I think is funny and describes me quite well. Ever since I started wearing makeup (about 10 years old--and it was BAD), my dad would say (and still does), "What are you all gussied up for?!" So the phrase stuck with me and I thought it would be perfect for the blog.
Here's Urban Dictionary's definition:
Something gussied up has been made more attractive, but in a showy or gimmicky way, so it’s often not intended to be a compliment. It can also refer to dressing in one’s finery for some special occasion, when it is intended to be taken more straightforwardly. It is usually considered to be an American expression, dating from the late 1930s or thereabouts.

My blog header and design will shortly change as well...

My Week in Photos

I got the idea from Tiffany to start posting iphone photos from the week so you all can get to know me on a more personal level, and so I can remember everything I do in an organized manner. Please let me know if you hate (or love) this idea...
I figure it's also a way to enforce the "one a day/project 365" rule I'm trying to live by this year.

First up are some practice engagement photos that my friend took of Chris and I in San Francisco over the weekend. These were taken at the Legion of Honor; when we arrived we saw four brides being photographed! If you look closely you might be able to see one in the background.





...Onto the iphone photos...
I was sitting in class dreaming of going outside. Such beautiful weather.
