My Wall Collage

As a lil pup trying to decide what clothes were right for me, what images to identify with, how to possibly look and feel like the girl to the left of me in class... one thing I could always lose myself in was fresh new magazine.
If you were like me, you had collages of various b&w Guess ads among many other clippings from those magazines posted on your walls, bulletin boards or school binders. Unfortunately, as we got older and moved out (well some of us moved out) the wall collages were taken down and we were forced to no longer find solice in those torn up pages.
Then the other day I got to thinking how great those walls were. Taking time to flip thru those magazines and pull out images of inspiration or new things to try and then posting them up as some funny identification to my uniqueness... and then I realized why couldnt I still have that wall collage??
So out of a memory of my highschool wall full of glossy mag pages came LayneRyan. Here I can post all the "clippings" of what inspire me and I can only hope that they will do the same for you.
Happy Perusing!

So I am pretty aware that the only food this woman eats is one piece of Ahi tuna in the morning, however I am currently wishing I was as put together as she always seems to be. I am especially loving her current duel Elle Covers! Thoughts???
