Top 5 Things to Pass the Time

1. Work -- yes I want a job for the paycheck, but it will also give me something to do for the next 88 days. If a good chunk of my day is busy then the days will pass quicker. (Oh, and I THINK I got a job. But I'll share more about that when I hear an official word.)

 2. Summer Reading List -- Having books to read passes the time greatly. I have a list of books that I have here in the house but haven't read or never finished. I'll be taking care of that list this summer. Reading is one of my favorite things to do and it always keeps me busy. I'll be doing another top 5 about my Top 5 Favorite Summer Reads later so look out for that!

 3. Spending time with Friends and Family -- Hanging out with my friends around home ALWAYS keeps me busy. I enjoy hanging out with people and just generally having a *classy* good time. I adore my family as well, and spend any time I can with them. They are all awesome.

4. Writing Fanfiction -- Yes, I write fanfiction. I'm good at it too! I just tied for an award at a fandom specific awards site! Fanfiction is fun, and I've met a ton of cool people because of it! It allows me to correct things I don't like about shows I watch while using my creative energy. You can check out my fanfiction.net profile here: http://www.fanfiction.net/angellwings

5. Watch Movies -- whether that's at the theater or in my own home. I LOVE movies. There are a TON that I want to see this summer so I'll be spending lots of time at our local theater. Starting this weekend when I go see "Letters to Juliet". Actually it started on Monday when I went to see "Iron Man 2".

Until next time, have a magical day!

My Top 5 Summer Clothing Essentials

My Five Summer Essentials by angellwings featuring Steve Madden shoes

First of all, I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day! 

 Okay, so this isn't very Disney related, but I was bored tonight so I made a Top 5 Polyvore Set.

These items are my Top 5 Summer Essentials. The things that I can not survive a summer without.

1) An oversized handbag. I am a BIG FAN of large handbags. I carry one year around. I just believe in having a purse big enough to fit my universe in. Need to take your lunch with you? Throw it in a ziplock bag or a small insulated lunch pail and then stick in your purse. Need to bring a notebook or a binder with you? Put it in the bag. Need a change of clothes? Throw that in there too. No worries, it will all fit. BECAUSE YOUR PURSE IS HUGE!



2) Sandals. I can never have too many pairs of sandals. I wear them all the time. I like the flat ones the best. They're comfortable and cute. The perfect shoe for summer. They are my annual summer addiction. 


3) Wayfarer style sunglasses. I have at least 8 pairs of these in my car. I am not lying to you. I look for cute pairs every where I go. My DREAM is to have an authentic pair of Ray Bans, but that won't happen any time soon. So until then I buy cheap imitations and store them in the arm rest of Ruby the Escahpay. 


4) Old Navy tank tops. They're cheap, cool, layer-able, and just plain cute. I have at least 4 in different colors. I wear them all the time. My favorite casual summer top by far. If you haven't before go by Old Navy and purchase one or two. You won't regret it. 


5) American Eagle bermuda shorts. I buy a new pair every summer. They fit so well, and look so cute. You can't go wrong with denim bermudas. They'll completely worth the money. (Good Tip: If you have a pair of jeans with worn out hems and knees don't throw them away! Feel free to cut them off and create your own bermudas.)


That's our Top 5 for now! Lookout for another Vlog VERY soon. 


Until next time, have a magical day!

Tales of a Disney College Program Hopeful -- Vlog #9

That's all for today, folks!

Until next time, have a magical day!

Road Trip/Check-in Day Outfit!

Now that I'm officially a Walt Disney World College Program participant for Fall 2010 I feel like I can show you guys what I would and maybe will wear on that lovely trip down to Florida or for Check in at Vista Way on August 9th, 2010. I LOVE Old Navy and American Eagle so most of these items come from those two stores. I'm also a big fan of Ray Bans specifically Wayfarers. Anyway, If you look you'll see I've got my tote packed with things I take on EVERY road trip like Vitamin Water and Cheddar Harvest SunChips. I also have my camera, my flip camera, my phone, and my iPod. Those go with me everywhere that I want to make memories.

9. How many roommates/rooms would you like? (1-7 roommates, 1-4 rooms)?
I think 3 bedrooms would be a good size. I don't want anything too small because that more money gone from your paycheck. So I think anything upwards of 2 Bedrooms would be good.

10. Do you like to party? Will you be hosting parties in your apartment?:
No. Not unless you count board games and movie marathons as parties. I like to have fun, but I'm not a big crazy partier. I'm more of a quiet evening chilling with friends kind of girl. That's not to say that I don't want to have fun...I just don't want to have certain kinds of fun.

I love basically all country music (except for anything by Big Kenny, yuck.) I adore the Jonas Brothers and John Mayer as well. Plus Micheal Buble. Also I have a huge crush on Jimmy Wayne and Chris Young (country singers...such cuties.) I also LOVE broadway music.

As for movies...I like romantic comedies, Disney movies (duh), musicals, and basically any kind of movie. I don't really enjoy a whole lot of rated R movies specifically if the movie is rated R for language. I can't take a whole lot of cursing. I don't mind some cursing, but if it's every other word I can't watch it.

14. Do you smoke, and if so, inside or outside?:
Don't smoke. I grew up with it though so if you do smoke...just take it outside. That's all I ask.

15. Do you drink?
No. I don't drink. I don't think less of anyone who does I just don't have an inclination to drink.

16. Are you a night person or a morning person?:
I can go either way. I go through phases where I want to get up early in the morning and then I'll go through phases where I want to stay up really late. Usually though I enjoy the night time more than the morning.

26. Any medical conditions (optional):
Nope.

27. Are you messy/tidy?:
Most of the time I'm pretty tidy, but my room can get really cluttered. I try not to let it get that way though. I ALWAYS keep common areas clean for other roomates and apartment-mates though. I usually do my dishes right after I use them to keep things from piling up in the sink.

28. Anything else you want to state:
I'm quiet so if I don't talk sometimes it's just because I'm thinking or not in the mood to talk. It doesn't mean I'm upset. I just enjoy quiet (because it's so very rare.)

Sleeping Beauty, but I have a strong affection for anything Alan Menken did for Disney (Who else is excited for Rapunzel? Woo!)

30. How many times have you been to Disney?
Twice, but that will change big time come August!

MGM (aka Hollywood Studios). I love movies, TV, and broadway so it makes sense that my favorite park would have all of those themes. Fantasmic is my favorite night time show, and MGM has the best thrill rides. Not to mention it houses Star Tours, Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, and Muppet Vision. Plus, who can forget the Great Movie Ride?

32. Favorite ride?
Splash Mountain or Big Thunder Mountain. Thrills and good fun. What more needs to be said?

Not counting night time shows? The Festival of the Lion King. So many great things about that show! The talent is AMAZING.

Old Key West. I consider it my Disney home.

35. Favorite dining?
The bakery in Paris at Epcot! DELICIOUS!

36. Favorite character?
Oh gosh, Aurora, Prince Phillip, or Tinkerbell. It's so hard to choose. Phillip was the first Disney Prince to be developed as a character so I adore him, and Aurora is my favorite princess, but Tinkerbell is just so fiesty! You have to love her!

37. I prefer to sleep in a room that has:
darkness and quiet.

38. I like to go to bed:
When my eyelids become heavy and droopy.

39. I sleep better when the room is:
Dark, Quiet, and a little cold so I can tuck my covers up to my chin.

40. I would prefer to sleep in a room that is:
Um isn't this the same question as 39?

41. I would prefer guests:
be polite, quiet, and not messy. (copied Michelle's answer because I TOTALLY agree.)

42. I absolutely could not live with a roommate that:
is obnoxious, loud, or messy. (again totally agree with Michelle.)

43. Do you snore:
I don't think so...

44. On your day off..what time would you wake up:
Depends. But I try to be up by 10 most days. Just so I don't waste away the day.

If you think you might want to share an apartment with me or Michelle (who's blog you can find at http://keepmovingforwarddcp.blogspot.com/ ) please let one of us know. We're looking for some awesome apartment buddies.

Until next time, have a magical day!

A Modern Take On: Sleeping Beauty

Princess Aurora is my favorite of the Disney Princesses. I adore her, and I adore her movie. Sleeping Beauty was Walt Disney's most expensive animated feature and the most sylistic. They didn't just base the movie on the classic fairy tale but the classic ballet as well. So I wanted this outfit to have a ballet theme as well. This is my favorite of the four! I really adore it! I hope you guys do as well!

This is our last "Modern Take" tomorrow we return to our regularly scheduled Top 5's.

Until next time, have a magical day!

A Modern Take On: Tinkerbell

I think we can all agree that Tink is the most famous fairy ever. So it was only right that she be included in the "Minnie As" cartoon series that I found. She is also the next character in this "Modern Take" series. I decided to go glamourous and well...sparkly on this one because it just seemed to fit. I love this outfit. It's not my absolute favorite, but I do love it. My favorite outfit will be posted tomorrow. Be on the look out for that!

But with out further ado here's my modern take on Tinkerbell:

Until next time, have a magical day!

A Modern Take On: Cinderella

So chronologically the next Disney Princess to come along after Snow White was Cinderella. Who their just happened to be a "Minnie As" cartoon for too! I think this one is my second favorite of the four outfits. I hope you guys like it just as much!

Until next time, have a magical day!

A Modern Take On: Snow White

Okay, guys, for the next four days we're going to take a Top 5 break. Don't worry the Top 5 lists WILL be back. Trust me, I've got lots of time to kill, but recently I made four outfits on polyvore.com that I would like to share with you. I found these Minnie Mouse clip arts while searching that have Minnie in four outfits that belong to other Disney Characters so I decided to use those and make modern versions of those famous outfits.

It only makes sense to start with the first Disney princess, Snow White. So here's the outfit I put together for her. It's not my favorite (mostly because it looks like the primary colors threw up all over it, lol.) but I hope you guys like it!
