One Kid Left In Atlanta

NEW YORK! NEW YORK!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-07-16T12:50:00.004-04:00

Sorry for the (usual) long absence...
I spent some time up in New York visiting my grandparents...and their internet is SLOW. Tortoise pace. No kidding. I wasn't even going to ATTEMPT to update from there. But despite the lack of internet I DID get a chance to do some shopping for school! And after that I was away at a leadership conference. With no computers. BLAH...
SO I AM BACK! And (hopefully) be posting regularly again now! YAY!!!

While I'm thinking of it I thought I would share my latest photo editing project...
I've been working on taking black and white pictures and adding color.
Just because I thought it would be a fun challenge. What do you think?

PEACE!

Look Mom! NO PANTS!

As of late, I've been suddenly attracted to the whole shorts romper look.
Its suprising, because I used to be rather disturbed by Lady GaGa and Katy Perry when they would wear these crazy sans-pants outfits.
But now I want one.
Maybe because its summer and it finally seems like a reasonable outfit?
Or maybe because these ones aren't QUITE as short as those worn by Katy Perry and Lady GaGa?
I don't know.
All these are from Urban Outfitters
I'm thinking about gettin one of these...I really want to go to the store so I can see which one looks best on me...cause I have more boobs than any of these girls...

However, I still think pants rompers are rather disgusting. Maybe with some accesories they would be acceptable, but alone...just BLAH!

Maybe with a nice belt at the waist or a cute blazer this would look decent.

What do you guys think: To romp? Or not to romp? (haha. I had to go all Shakespeare on that.)

I recently found this website that has THE most amazing glasses frames EVER!
The website is called Prism London and I first heard of them through Nylon about three months ago. At that time, the website was under consruction...which was disappointing...but now they have all kinds of info up including some AMAZING glasses frames.

Its the shapes that I like the most...most glasses nowadays are so boring. They're either black thick frames (like mine...which I rarely wear because I have contacts)...or really thin ones, which I hate with passion. And the shapes are dull.

There's 5 unique styles of glasses on the website, each named after a big city:

London

New York

Paris

Rio

Rome

I definately cannont decide on a favorite! Gr, I would LOVE to get my hands on a pair of these...unfortunately I just got new frames about 4-5 months ago and my parents won't go for it. :(

I'm A Terrible Person

2009-05-19T21:46:00.001-04:00

Oh dear.

I am so sorry I lied to you all.

I'm sorry I've been gone for so long...

But I just didn't realize school would get so hectic as the end of the year got closer!

If you are reading this at all, I seriously love you for not forgetting me.

Ugh...

I don't even know how to make up for this, but I figured I should share my "The Girl With The Pearl Earring" edit, since I promised!

Before:

After:

Not quite as good as Snow White, but nevertheless fun to do!
I really want to try some more of these...
Any suggestions?

I Believe My Heart, What Else Can I Do?

2009-04-26T10:45:00.002-04:00

I just finished a week of dress rehearsals and three shows of The Woman In White!
I am TOTALLY exhausted, but it went AMAZINGLY well! I will be back to regular posts within a couple days!
Much Love,
Kelly

Some Day My Prince Will Come...

2009-04-13T20:45:00.005-04:00

First day back at school after Spring Break.
Honestly it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
Which was definately good because I was DREADING going to school.

Anyways...on to more interesting things...
I made this coolie photo for this contest Picnik is having on Flickr.

The theme was "Picnik Goes To The Movies".

So I dressed up/edited myself to look like Snow White! =]

Before:
After:

It was VERY fun to do. I'm also working on one of myself for "The Girl With The Pearl Earring." I'll post that too once its done. =]

Also, I've decided to order the cute Converse for now. I might get the other ones sometime later though...because they are also pretty amazing. (By the way, they're both from Journeys to the person who asked=])

TTYL!

What the UGG!?

2009-04-05T08:18:00.004-04:00

Oh my.

I was perusing through Journeys Spring catalogue this morning and found something utterly disgusting.

$50 FLIP FLOPS. But not just any flip flops, UGG flip flops! I I thought to myself, "WHY would any idiot spend that much on such a boring pair of FLIP FLOPS? If I really so desperately desired a pair of flip flops I could go down to Old Navy and buy 2 pairs for $5. However I'd be far more likely to invest in an actual PAIR OF SANDALS.

So I ask...would you pay $50 for these?

Also I'm trying to decide between these two pairs of shoes for my birthday (which is April 29!):

Which do you think I should get? I just can't decide!

And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going!

2009-03-31T21:06:00.005-04:00

Seriously! I'm not, I promise!
My parents have banned me from the computer for the last 4-5 days since my room is less than clean (*cough* absolutely disgusting) and said I'm not allowed to use the internet until its done.

Well... its not done. But currently I'm working on a Biology assignment and figured that while I was at it I would make a brief post, because who knows how long it will be until I can get online again! (If you'd seen my room, you'd understand...)

Peace. =]

P.S.

This is my robot, Billie! (Don't ask, it was the first thing that popped in my head!)

I made him when I volunteered at this Arts Festival a couple weeks ago, and me and my friend Kara helped kids make cute buttons! Isn't he adorable?

Polka Dots & Red Hots

2009-03-23T22:01:00.001-04:00

I watched the movie Appaloosa the other day. Don't watch it. The ending is horrible and the characters backstories are never fully explained. Ugh, I was so disappointed because a friend of my dad's had said it was, "Soooooooooooooooooooo good." It was not. The acting was good, but the rest of it SUCKED.

Also today in my drama class we started watching Twilight to "study the characterization" (sureeeee...) and I noticed that on the back it said: "The most epic love story since Titanic." Dude, I almost threw up. COMPARING TWILIGHT WITH TITANIC!?!?!?! That's just a no-no. Titanic is pretty epic. Twilight...not so much. Its okay, just not epic.

As promised almost a week ago (shame on me) pictures of my purple-paint splatter keds!

At first I was gonna do all different colors, but then I decided I liked the purple by itself.

Also, my outfit from yesterday! I love wearing red lipstick and I thought this outfit was perfect for it! This jacket was such a lovely deal. It was $6 at Hot Topic during the summer! Gotta love them salessssss. Isn't the grass just gorgeous? Its finally green!

And random photo of myself being dramatic! I found it rather unreal looking...even though the only thing I had edited was the warmth, since the picture originally was too cold. I really love taking self-portraits like this...its just fun! I'm going to try to pay a little more attention to my blog as lately I've been neglecting it...

Hopefully my amount of homework won't get in my way.

P.S. Aren't these Disney Princess magnets just adorable! They're from Shana Logic and I REALLLLLLLY want to get them! And I would if I wasn't broke...

Singing The Same Chorus To A Song That Hasn't Even Been Wrote

2009-03-17T20:47:00.001-04:00

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I did wear green to avoid the pinchs!!!! Hope you guys did!
As promised, haircut pics!!!!

Right After My Hairstylist Did It:

How I Did It The Next Day:

I just straightened it with a straightener, whereas she blowdried it straight-ish...I LOVE my new bangs!!!!

By the ways, I'm running for treasurer of my drama club! I'm going to make poster that say stuff like:

2+2=?

Do you know the answer? Kelly does. Vote Kelly For Treasurer!

Originally I was the only one running, but a certain friend of mine (who was first going to run for Vice President but then decided not to, since a girl who's going to be a senior next year is running) decided to run against me. Even though she insisted about 18 times that she was not running and that she would run for V.P. next year. Grrrr...oh wells...I guess may the best woman win!

I also DIY some purple paint splatter on some white keds and will definately have to take some pictures!

For Lack Of A Creative Title.

2009-03-16T17:22:00.003-04:00

Hey guys!
Sorry for the long absence...the modem on our computer was messed up, so I've been without internet for 4 days! (before that it would be on for at most ten minutes and than die...so really its been more like a week!) We got it replaced today though, so I am backkkkkkkkkkkk! I'll have a real post tomorrow with my new haircut in it, but right now I've actually got to be going! =]

Oh, but I'll leave you with the following:
NO DOUBT'S GOING ON TOUR!!!!! HOLY MUFFIN!!!! EXCITEMENT! They were so one of my fav bands as a kid. And I do mean kid. I was like 7 and listening to them.

"No...I Don't Think You Should Dance By The Road. They Might Think You're A Prostitute."

2009-03-08T15:14:00.001-04:00

So, I went to my lovely friend Meghan's (and her twin sister Morgan's) Sweet Sixteen last night! It was fabulous...we danced...and danced...and danced some more...and I got to talk to some awesome people that I haven't seen in years...
And I managed to rip the slit in the back of my dress right up to my butt. I had to wrap my friend's jacket around myself so I wouldn't look like a skank dancing. I ended up wearing a different dress than I originally had planned, because the other one's material would have made me SWEAT like crazy! This is what I ended up wearing...this lovely dress that was my mom's in the 80s with this amazing necklace!:Then today I wore it like this (although I changed a little while ago because my mom didn't want to have to get the dress dry cleaned!) I love these two patterns together and I love this picture!:

I'm getting my hair cut on Tuesday! It was supposed to be Saturday, but my hairdresser got really sick...I'll definately take some pics once I get it cut! But its not gonna be DRASTIC so don't get too excited.

Peace! =]

Hi guys! Sorry its been so long, but my internet was down for 2 days! Ugh! And I was gone at Georgia Thespian Conference (better known as ThesCon) Thursday, Friday, and Saturday! It was soooooooo much fun! I got to see lots of great shows, including Alice In Wonderland, which was FABULOUSLY good, this show called The Incident At San Bajo (erm...i think that's how its spelled) which was quite intriguing, and this purely awful show that I nearly slept through (and my drama teacher nearly slept throught) that I will NOT mention the name of. That would be very rude of me...because I know I would hate it if another school was talking about how bad our school's show was...

I also got to run about a half a mile back to our hotel in pouring ran with our Thespian troupe. It was CRAZYYYY!

I bought some coolie stuff at ThesCon too!

A Shirt.

Elephant Earrings!

And this really pretty cross ring! (Sorry its sideways...my computer would NOT turn the picture...)

Haha, the band-aid's on my finger because I tried on a ring that was too small on that finger and cut my finger...I'm so brilliant... Almost everyone else I know got a ring with the drama faces on it, but I really didn't like any of them much...so I got that one!

I also made this gorgeous DIY necklace yesterday. I had a bunch of charms and pendants without chains lying around my room, so I took a bunch of them and strung a ribbon through them...and VOILA!

I just LOVE it! Also, I took a couple random outfit photos...the first I wore Sunday and the second I'm thinking of wearing to my friend's sweet sixteen! Right after we took the first photo it started SNOWING! It was FREEZING out! And we got a snow day yesterday because of it! I was so ecstatic because of how rare snow is in Georgia...

Peace out for now! Oh, wait one more thing! I was in Seventeen! I wrote in about how I liked seeing Pink on the cover and I'm in the Hair Traumarauma section, the one about yogurt in the hair...that's me. =]

I Hate The Way You Look Away, Not A Smile, No Thought Today.

First of all, I am VERRRRRRRRRRY happy Kate Winslet got an Oscar! I think she is an amazing actress, and I'm glad that finally she's being recognized for that. However, I really wish she had gotten an Oscar for her performance in Titanic. I watched that movie for the first time since 3rd grade a couple days ago and was amazed by how well she portrayed the part...and I bawled my eyeballs out...even though I already knew Jack was gonna die. =[ And the whole time I wanted to just throw Cal into the ocean. HATE HIM.

Also, has anyone seen Slumdog Millionare? Because I was thinking of renting it since it won so many awards....was it good?

Second of all, I am not dead =] (duh.) even though I've been missing for a few days...

Third, hilariousness I heard the other day at J.C. Penney:

Little Boy (to his Grandma): "...yeah my teachers get on to me all the time because I like to wear the shirt from my Halloween costume to school...and it has a cobra on it!"

It was the funniest thing because I expected him to say something BAD...oh man, what a cool kid. Wearing his cobra shirt! haha. I got a new dress that day too, but I haven't taken pictures yet...coming soon! =]

That's it for now! I reallllllly need to do my homework! =/

Funfun.

=]

I've Changed Since Then, Yet You've Remained The Same

2009-02-19T21:21:00.007-05:00

Unleashing My Inner Hippie Flower Child:

Sorry for lack of anything fashionwise in this post, but I've been sitting around being a major dork lately...playing Nancy Drew computer games, baking Magic Bars, and reading this amazing book about the Titanic written by survivors of the disaster. (I found it at this great used book store for $3. I was really excited because I have been FASCINATED by the Titanic since the 3rd grade. Me and some friends of mine even built a model of it for school.) Unfortunately, that means I have taken almost no pictures of my outfits...except the one picture above...which I took for this week's Weardrobe contest! =]

The skirt was actually made about...10 years ago(?) for my mom by this lady we went to church with when we lived in New York. She rarely wears it, but suggested that I try making an outfit with it...so I did! Note: I did NOT wear this outfit all day because I would have FREEZED my bum off...its only about in the 50s... However the outfit was just perfect and I had to take pictures of it. Or rather, my mom took pictures of it.

And one more thing! You guys HAVE to check out this website called Looklet. It looks like its going to be pretty amazing! Just put you e-mail in and they'll send you an invitation code. I got mine within a day!

The Truth Hurts Worse Than Anything I Could Bring Myself To Do To You.

2009-02-16T18:54:00.001-05:00

Sorry its been so long guys...I've been busy...and a little lazy.
Well I did get a part in the play!!!! I get to clean gravestones while talking about dead people!!!! (ha. for real.) Its not a big part, but that was to be expected since its the last show for our seniors. =[ So they get most of the large roles. I also get to sing during the wedding in the show! Me and this guy Drew. That should be far more exciting. I just realized that I haven't even mentioned the title of the show....duhdurrrrr, its The Woman In White. We're doing the play version, but there is a musical to, and my teacher is trying to incorporate parts of the musical in our show...so during the wedding me and drew sing the song they used in the wedding...its very creepy actually...because supposedly the marriage is "doomed".
Here's the song: (only the part that's "The Holly And The Ivy")

The musical is by Andrew Lloyd Webber! He is just so amazing!

On another note, I did my own version of those paintballed shoes that I talked about a while ago. I think they turned out pretty coolie. I ended up using heels...this old beat-up pair I ruined during a play last year...I got the actual heels on them all scratched up.

Before:

After:

The paint (actually nail polish) ended up looking a lot less random then I intended because it WAS NOT dripping very well...but oh well! I still love them...especially since they're not exactly the same.

Agh! I have so many other random things I would love to talk about right now, but I don't want this to become any more long and ranty...as it has started to become...

So just ONE more thing. I promise. My accidently shredded tights. See they were some REALLY cheap drugstore pantyhouse and they got a tiny pull. And I pulled it. And it exploded. Then I was just like, "Oh well, might as well shred them to pieces." Sooooo...I did. =] Then I had to go to the school for class registration. And everyone was like, "Wow, what happened." Um...I got attacked!? They're just shredded tights!

Then I wore them over blue tights the next day...with this new pink dress my mom got me a Express for $10!

Ok. I'm done now. =] For now.

What's Your Opinion Of Random Words Like Triceratops, Dodgeball, and Hannah Montana?

2009-02-11T22:32:00.000-05:00

My inspiration seems to have sort have flown out the window lately...
I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I've been very very BUSY!
I had a play I was in on Monday and Tuesday, auditions for a play Tuesday and today, and lots of lovely, bundles of fun SCHOOL WORK!!! Oh joy.

I got to speak Italian in the play on Monday and Tuesday which was really fun! I must have sounded quite authentic because several people came up to me and said,

"Are you fluent in Italian?"

And I was like,

"Er...no, not really."

The premise of my scene was that this guy went on this date with a girl and she doesn't speak English and keeps saying just "Yes" of "No". Until finally she bursts into Italian!

I found pics of my nails painted yellow and pink...however the pink looks really red-orangeish, but whatever...

I will leave you with video from Coffee House! With me "beatboxing" (ha. right...) and Omega "rapping". The whole premise (my parents didn't catch the very beginning...) is that Amanda (the girl who walks in at the end) couldn't find TJ (the guy who walks in at the end) and that she picked two "random" members of the audience to MC.

OKAY NEVER MIND!!! MY COMPUTER IS BEING A COMPLETE IDIOT!!!!

So maybe I'll have some video later...but not now as blogger is NOT loading the video. Grrrr....

I find out if I made the play tomorrow! Wish me luck...

I Wish I Had Left Your Hands Tied Together When I Had The Chance.

2009-02-07T23:51:00.001-05:00

Ugh, I am SO exhausted right now! Unfortunately this post has absolutely NOTHING to do with fashion, just a basic narrative of, "I am not dead...this it what I've been doing..." post...

So if you'd rather not hear about my life...erm...stop reading here!

I had my mock trial competition this morning where I was a witnes...we would have made the final regional match, but even though my side (our prosecution team) did great....out defense got SLAUGHTERED! Then at 7:00 I was in Coffeehouse (which is sorta like a talent show-ish only cooler thing)...and had a BLAST MCing (although we didn't end up being secret agents...we sorta...well I'll show you guys later once I get video from a friend of mine...haha, we got to tie people up=])
Also, I am MADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD because I don't know if I got video of the last half of the show. and that's the best part...

Ok, I lied...tiny tidbit of fashion:
I am in LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE with the new Louis Vuitton collection with Stephen Sprouse! I have never in my life really liked anything by them, but this...just WHOA!
I just tried to find pictures of the collection I'm talking about, but ULITIMATE FAILURE!
I couldn't find them anywhere...if someone could help me out that would be fab!

2009-02-04T20:42:00.005-05:00

I saw the most FABULOUS pair of shoes on this guy in my AP World History class today, although I think he was really shocked that I thought they were so amazing!

They were plain black sneakers...with pink, red, and cream-colored paint splattered all over them (from playing paintball, he told me)! Oh man, I will have to make some DIY shoes like this!

When I do I'll DEFINATELY post pictures...

But should I do sneakers...or some other type of shoe like heels? hmmmmmmmmm...

ALSO I got my March issue of Teen Vogue a couple days ago and just LOVED this editorial with all these different nail designs! I'm definately inspired to try some new nail art! Actually I did try something similar to the 4th picture a couple days ago in yellow and pink, but I chipped them BADLY and I repainted them purple. And I didn't take pictures....=[

ALSO, congrats to all the bloggers who were featured in that issue. The article was really great and I LOVE how supportive Teen Vogue is of bloggers! =]

Finally, A Part For (Insert Drama Teacher's Daughter's Name Here)!

2009-02-01T21:55:00.003-05:00

My interview went SO well yesterday! Thank you to everyone who wished me well and prayed for me! =] The guy who did the questioning part of my interview was so nice, and somehow we ended up talking about my dream of writing a musical about high school drama club drama/politics(that would be NOTHING like High School Musical...ew.) It would be called "Finally, A Part For (Insert Drama Teacher's Daughter's Name Here)!" Only with her name. It was HIGHLY amusing. My monologue went perfectly. The improv section was...interesting. Among several other activities, we were told to use this (fake) apple as an object and another person in our group as an object. WARNING: THIS NEXT BIT IS A TAD RUDE, CRUDE, AND DISGUSTING. Well, I used this girl as a dog, put the "apple" on the ground next to her and said, "Ugh, Molly, Noooooooooo! NOT IN THE BUSHES! Ew, BAD DOG!" And then picked it off the ground like it was something disgusting and passed it to the next person. Everyone was cracking up.
Unfortunately I was too much of a lazy person to take a picture of my outfit I wore, but basically it was the shirt from this post with the vest from this post...with black dress pants and my black flats with shiny buttons on them

I will leave you all with a product of my crazy photoediting I've been doing lately! I LOVE changing colors! It is SO fun! (However, the first one is the unedited original.)

Wish Me Luck!

2009-01-30T18:59:00.005-05:00

My GHP(see the bottom of this post for details on what GHP is) interview is tomorrow! I am a big ball of excitement and nerves right now...
Yesterday I entered the Weardrobe studs contest...with this...although you can't see the studs too well at this size. Check out Weardrobe's contest page to see it better.

Dress: Delias, Slip (underneath): vintage, Tights: Alloy, Shoes: Nine West, Bag: Vintage, Stud Belt: Pac Sun

I really LOVE the dress. My grandma got it for me in clearence for $20 (not the best ever deal, but it was 50% off! AND I adore it!) Its so perfect, and so pretty and feminine...which usually is not my thing;)

Well, sorry to make this so short, but I'm going to go get ready for tomorrow! Wish me luck tomorrow, and keep me in your prayers...I REALLY WANT TO GO TO GHP!

Cuteness!

2009-01-27T10:43:00.006-05:00

I am MEGA sick right now. Ugh. I don't really have anything that interesting to say, but I did want to share this ADORABLE clock I found on Deviantart:

Kawaii clock n_n by ~XxMortanixX on deviant ART

I reallllllllllllly wanted to download it and put it as the background on my computer, but I couldn't figure out how to download it...=[

Wells...I'm gonna go get some more juice and take another Vitamin C now...so hopefully I'll get better faster!

Mellow Yellow

2009-01-24T18:22:00.007-05:00

This morning when I woke up the first thing that popped into my head (for whatever reason) was "HOLY CRAP! I have had yellow tights for about a year and I don't think I've worn them!!" So I went on a mission to put together an outfit to go with them...this is what resulted (And yes, I asked my mother to take pictures for me again):

Shirt: Kohls, Skirt:super old. ?, Belt: (I reall wear this thing TOO much...) Mom's, Tights: Alloy, Shoes: Nine West

I think I'll enter this is the Weardrobe tights contest too...even though I definately like my first entry best!

On another note...I got this month's issue of Nylon today and Camilla Belle was on the cover! She is SO gorgeous! I really LOVED this outfit she was wearing on page 127 I love the contrast of the striped blazer with the plaid gloves...those gloves are the bomb!:

The tights on the cover were also AMAZING but I was too much of a lazy bum to scan it...cause its probably online somewhere...oh yep, I found it! Alrighty, well that's all for now folks, as my brother wants to check his e-mail, and I've been hogging the computer for the past hour or so...he really deserves to get on now!

Photoshoot!

2009-01-21T21:57:00.002-05:00

I seriously couldn't think of a more creative title right now. So that one will have to do. Pretty tragic...I know.
Oh wells! A couple days ago (before we went out for pizza...turns out my brother had to finish a project first...so I had some time on my hands...) I decided to enter Weardrobe's tights contest! Even though I already had some pictures, I decided I wanted to take some nicer one's, so I got my mom to take them! I think they turned out pretty fabulous! (The last picture is the one I entered by the way.)

Tights: Express, Shirt: American Eagle, Scarf: Vintage(its actually a shawl), Belt: Mom's, Shoes: Payless,

The photos were taken in this vacant lot next to my house. It was really neat because I wanted to take pictures outside, and my mom wanted to take pictures with the bench (its called a phone bench or something...my mom inherited it...it used to be where people would sit and make phone calls...), so we brought the bench outside as a compromise and used the flowers I had gotten at the GHP dinner as a prop. It was so much fun, and the combination of our two ideas was definately a success!

THEN yesterday I got contacted by Suzanne from Weardrobe saying they wanted to do a weardrobe remix with my tights! (If you don't know what I mean just go to the Weardrobe home page.) So I took this picture with this outfit, since the point is to show the piece with different outfits.

Dress (actually menswear shirt...its my Dad's): Express, Tights: Express, Belt: vintage, Boots: vintage

I know you can't tell from the picture, but those boots are some of the most amazing boots on this earth! My mom found them at the back of her closet yesterday in a box, and I fell in LOVE! The remind me quite a bit of Dr. Martens, just slightly more feminine....when I get the chance I'll post some better pictures of them.

All right, well that's it for now! Gotta go do some lovely homework and practice for my GHP interview, improv, and monologue (my final interview is the 31th!!!)...oh, and go to bed. ;)

P.S. Did anyone else notice how adorable Malia Obama's blue coat was? I just LOVE the color, and think she looked so cute!

Mad Plaid

2009-01-19T14:26:00.000-05:00

This is gonna be short, as I'm off to Atlanta (I live just outside Atlanta.) with my family to get me some Mellow Mushroom Pizza (yum!) and some killer Hummus (double yum!). But before I go, I wanted to share with you my brother's outfit yesterday (weird...I know):
He was lounging around the house in his shirt from church and pajama pants, and all of a sudden I was like, "OH MY GEEZ Mark, I love your outfit!" And suprisingly he let me take his picture! I just really like how the two plaids look together...I definately should try it.

Also I curled my hair today for the first time in forever...I really like it, since my hair is longer that it been in a while...I wish my hair was naturally this curly...Mine's just wavy.

Now off to get pizza and hummus! YAY! I'm starving!

Confessions of a Lazy BumBum

2009-01-17T16:28:00.003-05:00

Its been like what...three days since my last post?

I was gonna post last night, but I was too tired/lazy to finish cropping/resizing/editing pictures...

Over the last 3 days I have:

1. Had my GHP (Governor's Honors Program*) dinner.

2. Had some REALLY good cake on my brother's birthday! (Funfetti cake! My favorite!)

3. Got my SEQUIN LEGGINGS!!!!! HECK YESSSS!!! (which unfortunately i'm not allowed to wear til my birthday....) And this really cute top.

4. Found out me and Omega get to be MCs! (With two other people who auditioned) Its going to be like the other two people trick us into thinking there's a secret agent "mission" to get us off stage. I think it will work out...

5. Ate my way through 3 boxes of strawberry Mentos. Which is probably my favorite type of candy in the whole world. But it HAS to be strawberry. The mint ones are gross....

Now for a buttload of pics of my leggings and new shirt(the blue one)...and my outfit from GHP dinner:

I entered this picture in Weardrobe's contest this week for the best look with Converse! The prize is a $50 Converse gift card!

Blue Shirt, Black Ruffle Top, Sequin Leggings: Express, Orange Argyle Cardigan: ?, Hot Pink Converse: delias.com

GHP Dinner:

Shirt: Mom's, Coat: Hot Topic, Pants: Express, Heart Necklace and Earrings: Christmas present...although I think its from Kohls, Heels: Marshalls, Corsage: GHP peoples...

Three day weekend! Man, I am happy about that! Thank you for living Martin Luther King Jr!

*GHP is basically a six-week program in the summer, where you have a major (the area you were nominated in), a minor, and one other area of interest. Its pretty much a college experience. I was nominated in theatre, passed both school and county interviews, and now I'm on to the final state interview the on the 31th. I'm so excited!

Hello, My Name Is: Agent White Thunder.

2009-01-14T23:07:00.000-05:00

I spent the night at my friend Omega's house last night (yes, that is her real name.) We worked on this hilarious skit for our audition for Coffee House (which is pretty much a talent show sponsered by our drama club. only its called Coffee House because there's food and obviously coffee.) We auditioned for the MCs as secret agents...she was Agent Dark Night and I was Agent White Thunder. (not to be confused with White Lighting. i'm not an alcoholic beverage! haha.) The skit we wrote is seriously amazing, however it probably wouldn't translate well if I tried to explain the hilariousness.

In honor of being White Thunder I (ironically) put a lighting bolt on my nail! (You can't exactly draw thunder, you know?)

I'm pretty proud of myself because usually I'm not too good at putting little details on my nails...

Also my outfit from Monday (showcasing the black and white star tights!) I didn't take pictures Tuesday or Wednesday because the camera's batteries are so close to dead that by the time the timer gets to ten the camera shuts off. ugh. At least it stayed on long enough to get the picture of my lighting bolt nails!

Um, next time I'll try to remember to move the vaccum! lol. Oh, and the awful looking bruise on my arm is from having and IV...not child abuse.

Shirt: Kohls, Skirt: old. (like 4th grade...it didn't used to be a high-waist skirt, but I like it as one!), Tights: Express, Belt: Mom's (althought it is quite often in my possession),

It was absolutely INSANE how many compliments I got on these tights (and the outfit) at school. I'm used to a few comments every day on something I'm wearing, but I counted literally over 20 people who told me they liked them. Including at least 3 guys. One who called them pants. That made me laugh. Especially since he was standing with some girl who probably went, "Uhm...pants?" after I walked away. Goodness...people amuse me.

Black Stars & Candy Bars

2009-01-11T14:14:00.007-05:00

I got some AWESOME star tights from Express yesterday and I absolutely love them! I had already gotten a pair that is black with white stars, but the pink with black stars is particularly amazing!
AND I was looking throught their sales online...and I found the sequin leggings in my size for only $41.99!!!!!!!! (Although I don't know exactly how much they came to total with shipping and such...plus my mom got a couple things, and I got a shirt....we had some coupon for $20 of $60 so we got a few things to make it over $60. I think we spent about $53) I am SO happy that I'm finally getting the leggings!!!!!

My fab tights!

My fairly boring outfit worn with the amazing tights!

I also got this really great yellow nail polish and this beautiful coral nail polish from my mom for "being such a good patient" when I got my teeth out! I'm wearing yellow now:

For the longest time I wore nail polish literally ALL THE TIME, but then I was in a play back in October where I was a nurse in an asylum and my director told the nurses that they couldn’t wear any nail polish. Since we had 3 shows in a row one week, and then 2 the next week, I didn’t wear nail polish for like 3 weeks…and I got out of the habit of putting it on. So I’m trying to get back in the habit of wearing nail polish, since I have really icky looking nails otherwise (because I keep them short to play violin, bass, and guitar…yes, I’m musical!)

Ugh. My mom just reminded me I have makeup work to do before Monday, and that I have to go to Life Teen in half an hour...so I better get to it!

Mashed Potatoes, Rainbow Sherbet, and Strawberry Jello.

2009-01-09T13:04:00.004-05:00

Yep, that's all I've been eating since getting my wisdom teeth out...
I dropped two pounds yesterday alone, because all I ate was a bowl of jello and a bowl of sherbet...so I'm TRYING to eat some more today...I'm just really not hungry for some reason.
So potatoes it is! I actually love mashed potatoes, so it should be tasty! I'm actually not in much pain, and haven't taken my prescription painkillers today at all. Its just I keep craving things that I CAN'T HAVE...like popcorn. ugh. Now I know how my brother must feel with his braces...
No outfits this post. I'm sitting around in my pajamas with this weird ice pack thing around my face that makes me feel like a little kid with one of those awful head gear things...ick.

BUT I had to post these weird shoes I found:

Aren't they just bizarre? I searched "red shoes" and found them...they look like they would HURT!

Tagged.

2009-01-07T19:45:00.004-05:00

2nd day back in school. It has been kind of a drag, but I have enjoyed seeing my friends more often. We got our parts for our class show in my drama class today and I have a really coolie part! The play is Check Please: Take 3 and basically I’m a girl on a blind date who speaks Italian and her date doesn’t. So throughout the date my character is just going, “Yes…No…Yes…No…” And he doesn’t know she doesn’t speak English until she busts out into Italian! I’m gonna get to speak Italian! Awesome!

I got tagged by Chloe yesterday (For the first time ever ! Yay!), so the following is my response:

Here were the rules:
1. Go to the 4th folder in your computer where you store your pictures.
2. Pick the 4th picture in that folder.
3. Explain the picture.
4. Tag 4 people to do the same!

Here's my picture!

Its not that intriguing, unfortunately. Although the shirt is pretty awesome! (And I LOVE that orange nail polish! I gotta go find that...) I took this back in September during our fall play, Just Another High School Play! It was a great show to be in, about a group of high school students who have to “improv” their whole show when their drama teacher goes missing. It was hilarious.

I tag:
Eleanor
giggleness.
Amelia
The Stylish Wanderer

Also I wanted to show off my lacey shirt that cost $7 (originally $50...go sales!) which I wore today (Although the picture doesn’t do it justice):

Pants: Hot Topic, Lacey Shirt: Express, Sweater: old. (?)

And my vest which I LOVE that I wore yesterday:

Vest: Express,

Well bye-bye for a couple days guys…I’m getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow and will probably be too drugged up on painkillers to blog for a couple days. =/
I'm sure I'm just gonna be bundles of fun and joy! But at least I get out of school Thursday and Friday!

Sadness. Sadness. Sadness.

2009-01-05T15:00:00.005-05:00

The leggings were ALL sold out at Express! I checked online and checked SEVERAL stores, including one in New York where my Grandma lives! But NO ONE HAD THEM!!!

Ugh, I am so SAAAAAAAD!!! =[

Hopefully I'll be able to find them on e-bay...

This is the outfit I wore yesterday! I love my bowtie! I was kinda inspired by Blair Waldorf off of Gossip Girl... My friend said some people at Life Teen (which is sort of a combo between Sunday School and a youth group for Catholics) could not stop staring...but then again my church IS filled with a bunch of preps, who were probably all freaking out since I wasn't wearing Abercrombie. haha.

Shirt: American Eagle, Skirt: old (my Mom's), Tights: old, Belt: Mom's, Shoes: Nine West, Bow: from my closet...its the same bow I wore in my hair on New Year's.

Now I'm off to finish cleaning my room before my dad decides to never let me drive again...which has been my punishment for the past to weeks. PLEASE LET ME REMEMBER HOW TO PARALLEL PARK!

Holy Popsicle Sticks!!!!

2009-01-02T11:14:00.000-05:00

Only 4 more days until I'm back in school...
Ughs....how thrilling. After a two week break I hope I can concentrate enough to do my work...
On a slightly less dreary note:
I am really craving some black sequin leggings.
There were some at Express that I wanted...but unfortunately they don't have my size anymore.
So I did a little Google search.
And among dozens of little girl outfits, a few hooker dresses, and a belly dancer costume...I FOUND *drumroll*:

These AMAZING Alexander McQueen leggings!!!!

For $2,275. haha. They are so funny.

Not. $2,275 for a pair of leggings!? Wow. I know I won't be getting those anytime soon...

If only I had some super-rich uncle/grandpa/stalker or something....

Fireworks. Are. Dangerous.

2009-01-01T12:00:00.016-05:00

Last night is certainly a New Years I will remember for a LONG time...because we all almost got killed by fireworks. I hung out with my friend Kyle and some of his 8th grade friends, including my awesome brother Mark...and it was all fun and games until we got out the fireworks. ("Look mom, no fingers!" JKJK...but it was bad.) Kyle's dad and my dad were setting off fireworks...and some of them tipped over and shot into the yard, and some others started shooting towards us! We ran like CRAZY!!!! Luckily, no one was hurt, and the only damage to the yard was a small brush fire that was put out quickly. It was SO funny though, because right before it happpened this guy and his son/grandson(?) came to check out the fireworks. When things started freaking out they turned around and started walking really fast. It cracked me up because they had showed up at JUST the wrong time...oh goodness, the look on that guys face...haha.

Anyways, this is what I wore on New Year's Eve...well minus the scarf cause I FORGOT IT AT HOME AND WAS FREEZING! Oh well, at least Kyle let me borrow some gloves...well ONE glove since Marissa had one of them... I took the full outfit pic in the mirror cause it was 2:30 this morning and I was to lazy to set up the tripod, sorry its a little dark.

Scarf: Urban Outtfitters, Jacket: Volcom, Necklace: ? (From my Grandma), Purse: www.shopsueyboutique.com, Bow/Headband: bottom of the blackhole that I call my closet... Shirt and Cami: American Eagle, Jeans: Pacsun (Bullhead) Shoes: Converse

Happy New Year everyone! Good luck keeping all your resolutions! =]

Kelly's Ghetto DIY

2008-12-30T20:28:00.009-05:00

Wow...I almost put DUI there for a minute. That is just bizarre...lol.

For the last few days I've been technically not allowed to be on the computer since my room is...um..."less than clean" (*cough* a mess). My mom usually has let me get on the computer some anyway, but we've been going out shopping (after Christmas sales! wahoo! i got some great stuff! more on that later...) and getting back later, and my dad has been more strict about me not getting on the computer...

But right now they said I could get on to work on this story I'm writing, as long as I went to bed soon...soooooooooooo, I'm multi-tasking. :]

Ok, so here's the dealie: I have two awesome DIY projects!!! (well one's more like a kindergarten project...but still.)

1st- MY EARRING HOLDER!

Materials: HUGE posterboard to cut the white piece from, ribbon, markers, and random Hello Kitty things of a couple old Valentine's. no kidding. oh, and of course, earrings!

I did this about about a month ago because my earrings were EVERYWHERE and I just couldn't find anything! I really have a ton of earrings...because I still haven't put about half of them up there... Sorry about the crap picture quality, it was taken with a camera phone.

2nd - My lovely kindergarten project AKA a popsicle stick box!!!!!

look a random sticker on my hamper!

I was cleaning my room and found a BUNCH of popsicle sticks...so I decided to do something constructive with them! (I made a box like this for my dad once...in like 2nd grade. haha.) I'm not sure what I'll put in it yet...but I'm sure I'll think of something.

I also wanted to post pictures of a couple things I got shopping!!!!! (They're both from American Eagle, and I got a bunch of money off both of them! Gotta love sales!)

My Beautiful Orange Sweater!!!! Just a plain basic color, but it is SO bright, which I love.

I've wanted I shirt with ruffles down the front for a while and I finally got one! YAY!

I also almost got HOT PINK tights at Forever 21 today...but sadly all they had left were pink socks and the tights on a mannequin...which I even offered to buy...until I realized they poked a hole in the tights so this stick-thing that held the mannequin up could screw into the mannequins leg. I was REALLY sad...I may just have to suck it up, order them, and pay shipping. =[

Only one more day of '08 to go guys! :/ I'm really having mixed feelings about that...only 5 months until all my senior friends graduate...but only 4 months til I'm 16! wahoo! Watch out! I'll be driving!

Today I smoked myself to cancer...

2008-12-26T22:55:00.008-05:00

THE LINE IS ACTUALLY:

"Today I sat and smoked myself to cancer..."

(from the song "That Is Why" by Say Anything)

However, the first line is what some girl wrote on the side of a pair of my Converse quite some time ago...obviously referencing the line in that song.

It looks quite hideous...I mean WHY would I want that on my shoe? This girl does have some issues...so maybe its something she wouldn't mind having on her shoe? I don't know...

Anyway, what got me on this rant was the fact that I went on
Lookbook today and the first photo I saw had a girl holding a cigarette. I was preeeeeety disgusted:

To me, the cigarette just ruins the outfit. I mean, I can barely even tell if its a good outfit or not! The cigarette doesn't make it look glamorous or sexy or artsy...just gross. I'm not trying to lecture, but maybe smokers could take pictures of their outfits without the cigs, so I can focus on the outfits? Thanks!

Or if that's too difficult...this would work! heehee.

Thank you for not smoking! ;)

Merry Christmas and Happy 5th Day of Hanukkah!

2008-12-25T11:42:00.009-05:00

My family just finished opening our Christmas presents! I got some amazing stuff! (a lot of clothes! Yay!) Among that I got this really cute vintage dress…

A Jesus Shirt…

These EPIC heels…

And moccasins which I had wanted SOOOOOOOOOO badly!

My brother got a BUNCH Legos…like 13 different ones. I guess Legos to him are like clothes/shoes/bags to me. =] He got this really cute beach house that I wish I could move into! If it were bigger of course. This is what I wore to church last night: Our choir’s unofficial “director” said we had to wear some variation of red, green, black, or white. I was really tempted to wear the red tights with a green sweater or something “festive” like that, but I decided against it. Unfortunately, some people didn’t get the memo and wore blue shirts…like 4 guys. And there’s only 7 of them! And one lady wore PINK. I was pretty annoyed since I had picked out my outfit according to the “dress code” and a bunch of people hadn’t…
Oh well. We still sounded pretty good, which is the important part.

Now I’m off to help my mom make vegetarian lasagna! Yum!

Happy Holidays!

World domination is not my forte.

2008-12-23T15:17:00.007-05:00

I just get KILLED at a game of RISK by my younger brother and his friend.

Absolutely SLAUGHTERED...ugh.

oh well.

I have been lounging in my pajamas ALL day, and don't see the point in putting on a presentable outfit now. Its not like I'm going anywhere...

On another (random) note:

I really wish I had a bajillion, quadrillion dollars right now, so I could by just about everything in there. At least everything Kimchi Blue! All their stuff is great, but I especially love their floral prints!

LUSTLUSTLUST

I am especially sad about the last one because it is only left in a SMALL, and by the time I am no longer dead broke it will probably be gone....=[ I need a job.

I've been listening to Christmas music all day, which I actually like to a point, but I will have to say that Barbara Streisand's version of "Jingle Bells" is one of the most obnoxious caffiene-ridden songs ever. My ears are scarred.

"Glaciers melting in the dead of night..."

2008-12-22T21:25:00.001-05:00

Didn’t have time to do an outfit pic today…=[
I was too lazy to find a good spot inside and it was FREEZING outside! What is it with Georgia weather?
It was like 65 yesterday! ugh.
Anyways…
I went to see Twilight today…yah, after its been out a MONTH. I’m so lame. lol.
It was surprisingly better than I thought.
I had originally NOT seen it because friends of mine said it was so bad…but it wasn’t that bad.
And it had a bunch of nice looking guys if I do say so myself…I don’t usually go for blondes, but Carlisle was unexpectedly hot. (As were Emmett, Jasper…and obviously Edward.) Don’t ask, but for some reason Emmett reminded me of M. Shadows (the lead singer of Avenged Sevenfold). Specifically in the “Seize the Day” video.

Left: Emmett Cullen (Kellan Lutz) Right: M. Shadows

Yep, they must be long-lost brothers...or at least long-lost cousins.

The baseball scene was my FAVORITE! Cause they played "Supermassive Black Hole" and it was PERFECT, and because the movie finally picked up at that point.

Also, I LOVE THIS PHOTO OF EMMA STONE!
Its from a spread in January’s Allure.

It included a bunch of other pictures of some other people to, but this was one of my favs.
I thought the whole spread was pretty cool, however, my dad HATED it.
He said they just “didn’t look pretty”.
I told him it wasn’t supposed to necessarily be “pretty”, but unusual and inspiring.
That or I’m just a weirdo who likes weird things. =]

"There are few who'd deny, at what I do I am the best..."

2008-12-21T12:50:00.000-05:00

"What I do" meaning FASHION!!!!!!!
Ha. Well at least where I live.
I live in a town full of uninspired Abercrombie Clones and Wannabe Scene Kids...with the OCCASIONAL individual who tries to pull away from the pack...
As in me...and maybe 2-3 people in a school of 1,600+
I don't play by either of their rules. I wear what I want, whenever I want, and I'm not too concerned what people think about me...
So I decided to start a blog!
Anyways this is what I wore to church this morning, its kind of boring for me...but its church, I can't be too weird...it scares the old people. haha:

The print on the skirt is the bomb!!!!!!!

Shirt: Kohls, Cardigan: Mom's, Skirt: Limited Too (I've had this since 4th grade! lol.), Tights: old, Flats: Payless

I tend to keep things FOREVER...........which is sort of good, because I almost got rid of that skirt last year, and I would have been really sad if I had gotten up this morning thinking about wearing it and it wasn't there. I would have cried. No seriously. I would have.
