About Me

Pretty Little Things is a place where I can share anything that is currently inspiring me. 

When I was younger my dad always made fun of me saying I had champagne taste on a beer wallet (and he nailed it right on the head!)

With that being said I love high fashion and designer labels, but it doesn't always fit my lifestyle (or my budget) -- so I like to create outfits and looks that can combine the two.

I love food, cooking, entertaining and holidays -- so I'll often share recipes, entertaining ideas and anything festive.
I'll also share some personal snippets, stories and photos along the way : )

25 Things You Don't Know About Pretty Little Things

1. My real name is Stephanie. But I prefer Steph.

2. I am a Seinfeld addict, can quote almost every line in that show, 

and can not be beaten in Seinfeld trivia!

3. I drink green tea every morning because I like it.

And then found out the health benefits and liked drinking it even more.

4. I have dreams of one day owning a Vespa and zipping around town in it.

5. I'm currently finishing my 2nd Master's degree in School Counseling {this summer, YAY}

My boyfriend is currently learning and this make me very happy : )

12. I am scared of roller coasters, airplanes and the thought of going on a cruise ship.

13. I am trying to maintain a natural and healthy eating diet - however I have a weakness for junk food - Pizza Hut pizza in particular.

14. Gone With The Wind is one of my all time favorite movies.

15. I am really weird about expiration dates on food {especially dairy products} and any meat that is remotely raw. I just can't eat it.

16. My favorite sport is football and I LOVE the NY Giants.

17. I love going to Broadway shows, concerts and sporting events. To me, I'd rather pay money for the experience rather than using that money for a new purse.

And hope to own 1 pair of Christian Louboutin heels by 30. Perhaps a birthday gift to myself : )

19. I can't stand it when people use improper/bad grammar {see #6}

23. Thinks one of the funniest new movies out is "Horrible Bosses."

If you haven't seen it, check it out! So funny.

24. I love Halloween and all things scary. 

Just rented Paranormal 3 this weekend and it was just as scary as I remembered it being in the theater - and watching it during the day!

25. I "pinned" and created inspiration boards the old school way loooong before Pinterest was invented. I would rip out magazine pictures and put them on bullet boards and notebooks.

Hope you all enjoyed getting to know me more ; )
