Why, hello there.

Hello everyone!

Wow. This is my very first post on honeysuckles + pearls. To begin, I feel as though I should introduce myself.

   My name is Marissa. I am a fifteen year old girl who lives in America, Virginia to be exact. But Virginia is by no means the only place I have ever lived. You see, my father is serving my country in the military, so I have moved ten times (going on eleven in two weeks) in my life. I started out in Florida, and somehow ended up here. It's been a crazy ride- & now its about to get crazier.
   The movers come a week from tomorrow. Then our home will by filled with the all-too-familiar smell of cardboard boxes, and the sound of packaging tape being ripped. And the scary part is, this all has still not sunken in for me. I feel as though I'll just be chillin' in Virginia for the rest of my summer with all my friends. But in reality, I will be in Illinois unpacking boxes.
   It's not all bad though. Two of my closest friends, Lilly & Kristen, live in Illinois. Kristen & I will be going to the same high school, & Lilly is within 15 minutes of driving distance.  So I really should be happy, but moving is always bittersweet. I've made the closest friends here in Virginia. They're part of the reason why I made this blog. It's so they can all check up on me & do their usual snooping into my life. Y'know, the norm.
   Hmm, let's see, what else is interesting about me? Well, I have a shoe addiction. And an unhealthy adoration for all things that smell delicious. Fashion is a huge part of my life as well. However, I can't decide what this blog is going to be. Should I post daily outfit photos or should I just...blog? I'm hoping I can do a mixture of the two, but who knows. I'm trying not to plan this all out too much- just see where it all takes me. I'm asking for a dslr for christmas this year, so I'm really hoping that once I get it, I can include my photography on here as well. But you are all just going to have to deal with my bad-quality point & shoot for now.(:
   I think that's all I have to say. Please follow! I know I'm just starting out, so I need all the help & tips I can get! You won't believe how many times I've tried starting a blog, but suddenly stopped because I got discouraged or forgot about it. But I'm really going to commit to honeysuckles + pearls because I feel like it has a lot of potential. Let's hope it lasts more than a month!

Thanks for reading
*smooch*
