Inspiration for 12-11-08

Umm...I can't seem to find the camera. And I was wearing a Blair Waldorf meets Power Rangers outfit. *tear, sniffle* If I find it later, I will totally post. Otherwise, here is some inspiration that I have been meaning to post.Edie Sedgewick and Andy Warhol obsession in action. xDD


Hippie florals. Love.

I love this. xD

Mary Kate...always inspiring. I love the shoes!

12.6.08

Yeah...so much for posting daily. Sadly, I found myself suddenly swamped with homework, and I could not return to blogging until today. On the flip side, though, I have some very cute outfits to be shown!

The first I wore on Wednesday.

Top: Forever 21. Cardigan: Delia*s. Jeans: Target. Boots: Report. Belt: Thrifted. Book: Andy Warhol from the library.

I am a Warhol addict!

I also recieved my elf.com order on Wednesday. I had recieved a free $5 giftcard for commenting on their blogs (once you enter the site, click "Beauty Blogs." You must be one of the first 100 to comment!). I decided to order the Waterproof Eyeliner in Plum and Ash (I adore the plum, I haven't tried the ash yet!), the cream eyeshadow in Midnight (I think! It is the black and gray one!) and the eyeliner brush together, and they work well to create a smokey eye. I was really pleased with the stuff, and I plan on ordering more from the site.

On Thursday, I was going for a more Americana feel with my outfit. Blue top: Old Navy. Cardigan: Target. Skirt: Forever 21. Tights: hand me down. Boots: Report.

So, I am glad to be back, and I promise to post some soccer banquet photos tommorow!

A Super Fly DIY!

Instead of wasting away in front of the telly today (like I have been all weekend!), I decided to get something done. I worked on playlists for my Christmas gifts, which happen to be CD's, but I then found myself gravitating towards the television. After all, there was a Super Sweet Sixteen marathon on MTV (what a trash tv loving suburbanite I am). So when I finally got up off of the couch, I decided to reinvent a pair of jeans I hardly ever wear.

I began by making this lovely drawing:

I ended up just changing the pockets, because the embroidery was too hard.

Here is how they turned out. I really do enjoy them! They remind me of the ripped jeans all the way up the leg, but because of stupid school LAWS, I am not allowed to have anything ripped above the knee *sniffle*.
The pockets, up close and personal!To create the pockets:
1. Chalk out the peace design you would like to make.

2. Cut as directed on below:Click to enlarge.

3. Lastly, you must sew up the flap that is falling down, and your jeans are as good as new!Oh, Stylebytes is back up, and though Agathe is not posting, I hope she will soon!

Black Friday = My Hero.

I woke up at 5 a.m. today to participate in a hugely commercial event that was filled with extremely preppy girls. And it felt good! No, of course I am not talking about the new opening of Hollercrombie or whatever, but I am talking about The mall. At six a.m. On black Friday. Yes, it was a bit ridiculous, but I adored about every second of it. Anddddd I got some extremely good deals. YUM!
First, I went to Forever 21, which is one of my many favorite stores. The scene was the usual sale absurdity, including cardboard boxes overflowing with clothes. All clearence was buy one get one, so it was totally worth it. I got this top, which I bought with my cousin's items (she had an odd number!), and I ended up spending $2.50.

It actually reminds me of sherbert, but I have no clue what to wear it with to make it wintry. I guess a cardigan, but who knows what else.

Then we went to Delia*s (yay!) and I got some cuuuute stuff!

I adore the Smiths, Morrisey makes me want to swoooooon! This top was $5.74.

I have been awaiting this bag's sale for ages. It paid off, as it was only $3.99!

The last stop we made was at Charlotte Russe, where I bought a Luellaesk skirt for $2.50!! Everything was 25% off, and this was already on sale (to the extreme!).

Now I must go to the gym to work off all of my Thanksgiving flab so I can fit into these clothes!!

xDD

Happy Tofurkey Day!

Hah...stupid vegetarian joke I know, but it was necessary. xDD

Tommorow is like superfunshoppingtime, but I don't know if my mother will take me. :0 I know, but hopefully she will give in....

Here is what I am wearing:

Yeah...the technicolor one is a bit ridiculus, but nevertheless fun. Jumper: Target, $5.47. Top: Old Navy, ??. Tights: Handmedown. Boots: Report, $29.99.

I am off to go and get fat on stuffing balls and pie. Yummm!

I don't know you, but I want you...

I have been playing back Falling Slowly from the movie Once addictively. Marketa Irglova, who is in the movie was definetly my inspiration for today's outfit.

Sweater: Old Navy, $4.99. Skirt: Express from Gabes, $5.99. Tights: Hand-me-down. Boots: Report from Macy's.
Sorry for the poor photo quality, it was SNOWING! My favorite weather is probably snow, or neige in French. (We are learning weather. xDD)




See our outfit resemblance? Flowy skirt, tights, sweater, and boots. All I need now is a great singing friend who will buy me a piano...

I adore the snow!

Thrifting photos tommorow!

Ta ta for now!

xDD

Feels like a Lacoste ad...

We are playing badmiton in gym class...I feel like I am in one of those ads that are filled with people jumping! My partner and I suck at it though, but it is fun because we basically stand there and swat at the birdie. Today I had the easiest hit, but I missed the birdie completely. So if you had the choice between a turtle and me to be your partner...CHOOSE THE TURTLE! haa...so anyway, it is time for a chilly winter around here....GOOD LAYERING, BUT BAAAD SCHOOL TIME BECAUSE THE HEATER IS NOT REALLY ON....

So, in honor of my chilliness, I totally copied this girl. I adore her style - she makes me wish I was a little French girl. Sigh!

Tank: F21. Tunic: gift (Abercrombie). Cardigan: Delia*s. Buttons: Handmade Arcade. Jeans: Old Navy. Shoes: Report (Famous Footwear).

These were only $5!!!

Well, I must dash...my washer is making some odd sounds...
