Tomorrow is my 27th birthday, and to celebrate, I thought it would be fun to put together a post of 27 fun facts about me. One for each year 🙂 If you know me in real life, these probably won’t be much of a surprise. But for everyone else, hopefully you learn something new! I would love for you to comment a fun fact about yourself on this post, too.
- A little fun fact about this outfit – if you want a mini Hill House Ellie dress, order a kids size! This is a size 11-12, and it fits perfectly. I’m 5’9″ and a size 6/medium for reference. I love it!!
2. I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and have lived here for my whole life. I stayed in New York City for a summer for an internship while in college, but I’ve never moved anywhere else.
3. My family has three dogs: my 10-year-old chocolate lab named Daisy, our 3-year-old golden retriever named Duchess and our 1-year-old golden retriever named Willow.
4. My favorite foods are French fries, ice cream, strawberries, Nestle Crunch bars and Flavor Blasted Goldfish.
5. I graduated from college with a dual degree in journalism and advertising. Today, I work full-time in data management for an energy company.
6. I broke my arm when I was in the 4th grade. I fell while playing tag outside one day at school.
7. Disney World is like my favorite place in the entire world to go. It’s honestly so much more fun to go as an adult than it is to visit as a kid. My family and I go once a year, at least.
8. My boyfriend and I met at college and have been dating for five years now. He is so wonderful and supportive and helps me take most of my photos.
9. Once Christmas hits each year, I’m good to fast forward until like May. I really dislike Pittsburgh’s gloomy, frigid weather during the first four months of the year.
10. I will always order a beer over a glass of wine.
11. My favorite artists are The National, Mac Miller, Arctic Monkeys, The 1975 and Taylor Swift.
12. I am a HUGE sports fan, especially football and hockey. My ideal Sunday during the fall and winter is watching every single NFL game on tv. I’m currently 2-1 in my fantasy league in case anyone cares.
13. This is not my first fashion blog! I ran another one for four years while I was in college. It was VERY preppy/Lilly Pulitzer/2015 style heavy.
14. My favorite movies and tv shows are Casablanca, Clueless, Mad Men, Bridget Jones’ Diary, Dirty Dancing and Gossip Girl.
15. If I am trying to work and the room I am in is messy, GAME OVER. I have to clean it before I can focus.
16. I almost never nap. I always wake up feeling way more tired and groggy than before I fell asleep. My boyfriend on the other hand can nap for forever.
17. My “Big 3” are Libra sun, Virgo moon and Leo rising. I don’t necessarily believe in horoscopes, but I think it’s interesting.
18. I do believe in Jesus.
19. I’ve never travelled west of Cincinnati! I’m definitely an East Coast girl.
20. I LOVE watching horror movies. My boyfriend, his brother and I always get together and try to find the most terrifying ones.
21. I have had a fear of sleeping alone at night ever since I was a little kid (maybe it’s the horror movies LOL).
22. I’m not super impulsive, but if I decide I want to do something, I want to do it right there and then. I don’t want to wait or plan it out. I just want to dive in.
23. I prefer a casual place for dinner versus a fancy restaurant. But I love getting dressed up for it no matter where I’m going.
24. I have a sister, who also has her own blog.
25. Said sister once tricked Evgeni Malkin into telling me happy birthday on Twitter.
26. If I’m listening to music while I’m working or writing, it has to be classical/instrumental music. Otherwise, I start to confuse my task at hand with what I’m listening to.
27. Penguins are probably my favorite animals!
