Hate It or Heart It: which stores are at the top of your list, and which could you do without?

Comment your opinions! I love 2 hear your advice too!

LNA- is this designer tee-shirt label winning you over with their soft, trendy tees, or do you think its completely overpriced and overrated for a bunch of tee shirts?

Anthropologie- do you love this brand's eclectic-sweet style? Or does your inner frugalista despise its over priced clothing?

Forever 21- are you crazy for this trendy store that has tons and tons of super inexpensive finds? Or could you forever do without?

LuLu's- does the extensive, amazing shoe selection give you thrills? Or do you feel not so wild  about this store?

ASOS- is this fabulous, stylish online store that carries thousands of items and designer labels up your alley? Or do you think it's really nothing to ride home about?

Urban Outfitters- does their indie-chic apparel satisfy your fashion style? Or do you feel their clothes are a bit drab and overpriced?

Cusp- do you love their fabulous selection of designers? Or do you find their clothes impractical?

Rosetta Stone-Why You Should Try It

Bonjour! Je m'appelle HeadOverHeelsForHorses!
That means hello, I call myself HeadOverHeelsForHorses in French. I learned this, along with quite a few basics of the French language, in 2 days. How did I do it so quickly? In case you haven't figured it out by the title, I used Rosetta Stone! Rosetta Stone is a language-learning computer software device (wow, that sounded smart:) that claims to be able to teach you almost any language fairly quickly. Well, as you might have read in one of my earlier post's, I like to travel. Unfortunately, I can only speak English and Spanish. So, I decided to tackle French. I bought Rosetta Stone level one for French, and began. I was skeptical at first, both of the program's ability to teach me the language, and of my own to learn it. After all, I've been enrolled in a Spanish class for two years and can barely say hello, I come from America. Anyways, I was sitting at the computer, and began to learn French. I was extremely surprised when I looked up at the clock and saw that an hour had gone by since I had begun. I was even more surprised when I discovered that I could remember what I had learned. Now, I'm hooked on it! It's a really satisfying feeling to be able to accomplish goals that you've been wanting to do for a long time. Here's why Rosetta Stone works- it makes learning a language like playing a game (it kind of tricks you into learning-lol), and because it's fun, you keep going on it. Rosetta Stone is an expensive program though, so choose you're language carefully. I can guarantee you'll love the program. 
Who knows? Maybe after I'm done with French, I'll try Japanese:) 

au revoir

Song of the Week- E.T. by Katy Perry (feat. Kanye West)

I am so in love with this song right now- it's all I'm playing on my iPod. This isn't a new song of her's, per se, but this is a new version of it that has Kanye on it. I like it because it has a great beat, it's catchy, and Katy is one of my favorite artists! Oh, and in case you're wondering, yes, I am listening to E.T.  as I write this post:)
