hi! so, i have lots of silly/embarrassing habits and guilty pleasures. i thought it would make a funny blog post. feel free to blog yours too and link them here... it's sorta fun! enjoy....
1. every time i try on an outfit in a dressing room i send jeremy a photo to see what he thinks... even if he's just waiting outside the room. funny habit, but i'm thankful he plays along and helps me shop.
(poor larson....♥)
2. i almost never answer my phone (bad habit!) but will text back almost immediately. hmmm...
3. big macs. totally love them.
4. microwaves. i hate them. i don't own one. i will never own one. i have a very difficult time eating food that i suspect may have been microwaved. eek!
5. obsessions.... i get super obsessed with things and collect tons. what kinds of things... hmm... in the past few there's been: pez, animal figurines, vintage dresses (is your closet supposed to be larger than a small bedroom? i didn't think so...), blythe dolls, fake glasses, floral brooches and probably lots of other silly things. ask jeremy...
6. funny bad habit... i've been forgetting to make myself a new house key copy for about.. um... 6 months. i've broken into my own window about 10 times. uh-oh!
7. guilty pleasure movies... Mean Girls, Clueless and (the worst one...) 13 Going on 30.
8. crazy vintage. i mean, i love pretty vintage the most... but i have a weakness for CRAZY vintage too. it's sorta irresistible.
9. so. much. coffee. it's a beautiful thing.
10. i can't stop playing with my hair... especially in nervous situations.
Now you know all my deep dark secrets. What are yours? Confess! XO. elsie




All of your habits and guilty pleasures are ADORABLE.

I'm with you on coffee, not having a microwave, never answering my phone (it's always on silent) and, oddly, not gettin a new key cut.

Fun post!
Collecting is addictive!
Then I throw it all away or donate it all because I hate clutter, haha. Oh well.

Oh I play with my hair when I am nervous or anxious too! AND I love to collect things and I rarely answer my phone either. Must be a 'creative type' person thing! Thanks for sharing these - it was fun! xx Janelle

i love that you dont own a microwave!!
my guilty pleasure is that if i find something really really cool i have to buy more than one (or all of them) in case i never find it again.

I always play with my hair. It's such a nervous habit. My mom always scolds me for it. I hate microwaved food, but boyfriend swears by it so we have one.. but we didn't pay for it, so I guess that's a plus.
I love bad reality TV. a lot. also singing Glee songs in the car like I can actually sing.
I also never, ever, ever answer my phone and always text back right away.. phone calls are just so awkward to me!

I break into my own window too- usually with the assistance of my next door neighbor! (I'm short, the window is high, it's hard to scale brick in heels or bare feet unless you are Cat woman. Which I'm not. Usually.)
My stupidest habit is my inability to put myself to bed- when the bf is away, I'll be happily knitting and watching NCIS or Leverage at 3 am, homework and classes be damned... which also covers my guilty pleasures.

So cute~ Big Macs would definitely be on my list. And the homemade buttercream container I dip into, a teaspoon-full at a time, in my cupboard. I don't think anyone else knows it's there, and I like it that way!
