{this is me}

hello world!

this is my first post here on Singing in Style. i am so excited to post on this blog and connect with those of you who read this. i thought i should introduce myself. 

here are the basic things that i thought you all should know about me:

1. my name is LJB. i am 18 years old, and i am a high school senior and i live in the middle of some lovely cornfields in the middle of Illinois. even though i don't live the big city life quite yet, i still have a huge passion for my two greatest loves: music + fashion.




2. music is my everything. it is my way of getting out my emotions + feelings. some people draw, paint, dance, read, write - well, i sing and play piano. on this blog, i will be posting cover of songs (+ hopefully some of my originals!), current playlists, favorite artists of the moment, along with other random posts!




3. fashion is something that i've really gotten into these past 2 years. one of my best friends Scarlett started her own blog (http://thetrendychick.blogspot.com/), and she's really encouraged me to post a blog of my own! i feel that something new to bring to the world of fashion/beauty + i want to share with all of you amazing readers! on my blog, i will be doing haul posts, outfit of the day/night (ootd's/ootn's), monthly favorites, & others!



4. my relationship with God is my number one priority. i am a worship leader at my church + one of the most important parts of my life. i strive to glorify God with all that i do, and every part of my life. this is not going to be a blog strictly about that, but do know that there will be parts of this blog that include God + my relationship with Him.




5.  here are some random fun facts:
- i love Starbucks - especially their white hot chocolate
- my favorite season is fall (#sweaterweather <3)
- my current tv show obsessions are grey's anatomy, new girl & the carrie diaries.
- my favorite music artists are hunter hayes (who i get to meet in less than a month!), john mayer, maroon 5, kari jobe, sam smith, steffany gretzinger, jeremy riddle + ingrid michaelson. 
- as you can already tell, i have an eclectic taste in music + i am proud of it.
- my family includes my beautiful mama + my amazing 9 year old little brother. my dad passed away unexpectedly 2 1/2 years ago. my family and i are extremely close and i absolutely don't know where i'd be without them.
- my favorite colors are rose pink, gray, + light turquoise.
- i take a lot of pictures. like a whole lot.


i hope you enjoy reading this blog + i look forward to getting to know you all as well!

much love,

- LJB
