it's just stuff. it's just stuff. if it all burns down, it can be replaced. it's just stuff. that's what i've kept telling myself over the course of the past 24 hours. actually only about 12 hours. it's crazy what can happen in an instant. when the cocos fire (which is certainly going under an identity crisis ...
so as you may or may not have already known (seeing as i talk about it incessantly), i've been fortunate enough to add a few amazing broads to my harem of girlfriends in the past six months or so (i know, making friends outside of college is actually a feasible fete). and every time i'm ...
it's important to note that this entire post should be read while hilary duff's "come clean" plays softly in the background. aside from the fact that this is clearly one of the musical high points of 2004 (i mean, clearly), it is also the theme song of laguna beach (the real oc) which is an important element to not ...
i lied. i told you there would be copious outfit posts and shots of me being "sooooooo nashville" on instagram this weekend and there wasn't. aside from these two photos from my initial moments of my trip, next stop, nashville! one of my favorite spots in nashville | frothy monkey. i was completely remiss in photographically ...
relationships are funny, i think. and i'm not just talking about the kind that involve a candle-lit dinner and a kiss on the cheek -i'm talking about friendships, and bonds shared with family, and well, of course, the romantical kind, too (hi, this is shawnaleeann.com we're talking about, duh). i'm talking about the ones you ...

i had a wonderful weekend. i really did. after serving leaded (aka rum-infused) 'nog to the club's luncheon guests, i finished out the last few tasks of my day before heading southward for an evening of fun. and despite the raindrops (and maybe because of them, too), we made the final hours of our friday afternoon ...
darling. of all of the pet names, i find this one perhaps the endearing. especially when it's pronounced, dawwwwwlinnnnggg. but this post isn't about pet names, or even pets for that matter. i just wanted a clever way of opening this little post. you see, darling is the name of a magazine that is pretty amazing in ...
one of the best things about having a blog is the fact that you can shamelessly talk about yourself all day long and it's kind of culturally acceptable. well, yes THAT, and the fact that it's basically a time capsule of thoughts, feelings, photos, and sentiments from days, weeks, months, and years past that may be ...
we've more than established that i'm usually tardy to the party on most things except actual parties (i'm always awkwardly early to those, oftentimes hanging out in my car so as to avoid bothering the hostess with small talk as she's trying to get things done), so maybe this blog has been around for a while and ...
