Polka Dots & Red Hots

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...

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

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! =]

Theatre Geeks & Creepy Freaks!

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

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!

Wish Me Luck!

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!

Photoshoot!

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

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!

Hello, My Name Is: Agent White Thunder.

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.

Sadness. Sadness. Sadness.

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!
