i never thought i could actually grow up to be a princess. of course, isn't that every little girl's dream? but then you get older, and you realize that you have to be something practical, like a nurse, or a teacher, or an important businesswoman. so for years i was fixated on the idea that when i finally grew up, i would have to work a boring job to pay my bills, sitting behind a cubicle for hours and hours on end. as i began to explore my interests and talents, it became clear that this kind of life could never work for me. then i got cast as belle in beauty and the beast, and the thought came to me: i can grow up to be a princess. i can live my childhood dream and do what i love. i can perform and embody a character whose story is so timeless, every generation has its own version of it. and that's when i realized, my dreams are finally coming true.


purple nylons! they're great to wear under a black ruffled skirt and sweater. i pair it with accessories from forever21 and h&m, and i'm ready to stroll the city.

i love my iphone! i couldn't live without it. with all it can do, it seems silly to call it a phone. i use it to watch movies, listen to music, check my email, and play games.

this is my class ring from jostens. i know a lot of people think these are overpriced and just a novelty, which, yes, they can be - but this one in particular cost just over $200. seriously guys, if you get a chance to order and personalize your class ring, do it. it's something you'll hold onto and remember for a long time.
