(01.01.13.) New post is up, loves! It features 80 graphics so be sure to check it out. Thank you for all your lovely feedback so far--comments, messages, and even texts/FB messages from some xangans who are my longtime friends on Xanga. I'm glad to be updating this site again! Your support is loved. I am going to keep this site running as much as possible! I will try to update every day with something! This may be a post, a layout, icons, etc. Also, I have a few VIP spots open, as you may have noticed. They are for the top xangan sites only and are typically sites that update more frequently. Please let me know if you have any ideas/suggestions for this site! I may take some ideas for layouts if you have any cute ideas to offer. Happy New Year, dolls! :) xoxo, katie <3

(12.30.12.) I finally decided to open this site! Do you like the revamp? My plan was to keep it chic yet simple. I hope you love the twelve new layouts! A short but cute post is up! Another post will be up sometime within the next couple of days with icons and/or graphics. Miss you guys! Glad to be back :) - - Katie <3

(12.24.12.) Merry Christmas Eve, everyone! I apologize for not getting my revamp up already. I had lots of inspiration but not enough motivation before. However, I just finished the main layout last night! Yay! I am doing the finishing touches and it will be up within one or two days after Christmas. So it'll be kind of a late Christmas gift/early New Years gift! Hope you all have an amazing holiday :) xoxo, katie <3

(12.03.12.) doing a total revamp of this site soon! keep your eyes peeled, the revamp will be coming soon and lace&louboutins will be all decked out from head-to-toe in holiday style. I've been preparing some things, so I hope you`re all as excited as I am! love you all so much! :) xoxo, katie <3

(6.24.12.) hey there sweeties! do you like the new main layout?! it was about time i changed it haha. i will make my old main layout available for everyone soon. i`m working on getting a new post up tomorrow afternoon! in the mean time, check out the new layout! it`s called island in the sun. hope you enjoy. also, i wish xanga mass messages would work again! i noticed that individual messages still send but just not mass messages. i hope xanga hasn`t disabled mass messages cause that would be upsetting. anywho, comments would be appreciated! tell me what you think of the new look :) xoxo, katie <3

(05.10.12) hello xangaloves! YES, i am finally back on xanga. i had such a busy semester and i rarely came on xanga. but it all paid off i guess because i made a 4.0 this semester! anyway, i have finally decided to update this site and create a new main layout. i tried to keep it simple yet chic. it`s also got that summer vibe, perfect for this season. heck, i consider it summer already! my last day of the semester was may 3rd. my boyfriend & i are taking one math class in june but besides for that, i have the rest of the summer to enjoy. i`m really excited for summer on xanga. i hope we can all update more often! i`m going to try to update a few times a week, possibly every day or every other day. oh & i know i have to fix my layouts--the codes somehow messed up? but it should be an easy fix. new layouts will also be coming soon, with all new fabulous stylesheets. leave comments, loves! :) xoxo, katie <3
