dragons?

my favorite accessories atm (in no particular order)!

1) ipod: so this one isn't really an accessory because it doesn't work anymore BUT who can guess what it is?.... that's right! it's an apple ipod from 2003! its my dads old ipod, and i lied before when i said it doesnt work, because it does, but for roughly five minutes. anyway, i guess you could categorize this as "retro" but i really don't know who wants to walk around with this as something to use. its about half an inch thick and feels like a brick.

2) knock off wayfarers: god i love them, they go with any outfit no matter what the colours and they make a very monotone outfit more interesting. and the best part? they were only $10 dollars at urban outfitters, compared to the $145-195 real ones at rayban. i have a real pair too, it was a christmas present though and my parents got me the kids size (???) so they are not too small but they fit weird. anyway back to these, i wear them almost every day, im so obsessed.

3) GRANNY PEARLS!: you have all seen these before, when i got them, i still love them, hence them being on this list. i wear them double stranded and single stranded and, like the glasses, they go with any outfit. and they are pretty unique one because most 14 year-olds don't wear pearls and.... i dont have an and, but they are unique anyway.

4) dream angles heavenly from victorias secret: it just smells SO good! and it was a present!

im off to dreamworks how to train your dragon! yayyyy!

air force

LOOK!!!! i found my jacket! you all don't know about it, but i do. ive been looking for it for at least six months, maybe more. i love it, and its not too thick so i can still wear it. its a military jack with tiers and such, whenever i wear it again i can show you the tiers and fancy buttons and such. in my world military jackets are "in" and i freaked when i found it! also i got these aviator thingies at the airport because i forgot my sunglasses at home when i went on a vacation, i think they're cool but i think they were intended for guys to wear.... i dont really care.

special shout out to the style crusader! she always writes really nice comments on posts and i love her blog! :D

floral, leather, stripes, and plaid!!!

i got the may issue of teen vogue!!! yay!! i havent gotten a chance to really look at it yet but i flipped through. i dont know who karlie kloss (cover girl) though. BUT from the cover i can tell she is an all american supermodel, i'm pretty sure you could have figured that out as well... i was just reinforcing it.

this kids name is justing bieber. now i know you think im going to go on this rant about how amazingly hot and talented he is. but im not. just on the talented part. hes ugly as a saggy butt, in my opinion at least, so all of you who think he's hot: please dont stop reading because i think that, this here comment will get sort of more positive. ANYWAY i also hate his songs because they are bad and get stuck in my head and they are pointless. but here comes the positive part, he is freakishly amazingly talented. i watched him perform on Saturday Night Live, and you know how usually the performers suck because they dont have all the effects from the box? well thats not true with bieber. he was perfectly identical to his songs (which, although i hate, are sung well). i have so much respect for him now! but i still dont like him. but i think i will when his voice gets lower, i think it will make him even better.

well now. moving on from my bieber rant. ISN'T THIS THE MOST FANTASTICALLY AMAZINGLY PUT TOGETHER OUTFIT EVER????? well i think it is. it is perfect! floral, pretty leather, normal plaid (i dont like the "plaid" trend) and an old camera!!! ohmegee i love it. only problem:

it costs $905!!! yes, i can do math thank you very much. and that isn't even including the wang shorts and some of the bracelets. not that i could ever afford any of it anyway. no matter! i will find my own way to dress like it. maybe, eventually. yes, i will. but if i were to choose one article that i would buy, it would be the shorts. i looked for these shorts on the internet but i couldn't find them.... hmph!

todays outfit: fedora, wet seal. knock off wayfarers, urban outfitters. striped tee, DKNY (my moms). jeans, delias. fake keds, urban outfitters.

all you need is love

oh my gosh! i have been so bad at blogging, im sooo sorry. this outfit puts three of my favorite things ever together: granny pearls from thrift ;), floral shorts and a lace top from urban outfitters (too lazy to get the link, sorry) under it. i lurve it. so i was commissioned by my teacher to make an ad for his book, i had VERY specific instructions. actually it is a competition between me and another artist in my grade. ANYWHO! i got paid $25 to do it, not bad for something i love to do! the first one below is the original, the second one is extremely photoshopped (last day of my free trial :'().

oh and my room is covered! in all the stuff i tried on this morning.... even though i ended up wearing this one, the one i planned LAST NIGHT. i apologize again for the blogging fail, i shall try to post more often. im trying to get ahead on homework........ im kidding, as people who know me know, that shall NEVER happen

granny pearls

i dont really like this dress that much but my sister, naomi, didn't want it anymore and i thought that maybe i could do something with it.

i went to the thrift store today and fot this humongous tshirt, its actually a lot bigger than it looks. i dont know who the picture is but it was $4 (expensive for a thrift store but still cheap) so i said hey why not and its super cool.

this amazing granny pearl necklace is also from my thrift adventures, it was $10 (oh and for this trip to the store my parents thankfully paid, because i am BROKE)

the reason we went to the thrift store was to donate stuff (they didn't take it today because...? i don't know) and this was in my dads pile so i immediately grabbed it before it could go to thrift land

these shorts ($8) are also from thrift today, they are huge on me but i wanted a big pair of shorts so that i could use a belt for the top. they aren't perfect but i like them.

i see elves from olympus

bottom outfit (thursday): black velvet skirt was my staple item when i was like four, white skirt was made by me and mimi for a roman contest thing, lace cardigan is unknown

top outfit (friday): toga: also made for the roman contest, belt came with this ugly shirt thing, shoes are unknown

off to a haiti benefit concert at my school! adios!

hungarian

photo above from cocorosa

inspiration? yes! these are the tights from cocorosa i was talking about before, here is the post
i was going to make a pair of DIY tights today (not these) but i decided that i should probably do my homework instead, SO I DID!

***carribean pics are still at my dads office***

so lately ive been randomly thinking about what i want to DO in my life and here is what i came up with:

1) be a trendforcaster: chantal (above) is one and from what ive read it seems like a lot of fun, and it has kindof do to with fashion (i am temporarily out of my I WANT TO BE A DESIGNER phase, but! it will be back, just you wait)
2) write and publish a fantasy book: i have all these random ideas and stories about elves and dwarves and such, AND a fantasy writer came to my school today and i was really interested
3) win an oscar for a short film OR for costume design: i have this odd urge to win an oscar, and both seem like a lot of fun especially because theoretically i could do both in the first one
yeaa so thats it, i know its asking a lot but whatever

today's outfit: skirt: thrift (some random fake brand thingymaboober), belt: mom's closet, shoes: campbell (apparently it's a brand), vest: authentic hungarian, necklace: given to me as a gift from my grandma (nicknamed "big c" [me being "little c"])

oh and fun fact about this outift, my science teacher keeps lizards in his room and i was holding one of the, today (they are about ten inches long) and it crawled up to my vest and tried to eat it because it looked like the lettuce from his tank cage thing. i just thought that was funny. and also i was compared to harper on wizards of waverly place today... i partially took it as a compliment depending on which outfit they were talking about

claud magazine!

(meaning of MY moment)

i made this fake magazine thing for a school project and i picked some (ONLY SOME) of the blogs that i check everyday. at the moment cocorosa is my favorite (reason she made the cover on this particular day) because i am OBSESSED with chantal's DIY tights. but i love love love everyone elses too (my favorite changes almost every day). anni, ida, tavi. god i love them all, i realized that i pretend they are my friends when i go on their blog but then i noticed today that they probably don't know who i am... hmph.

ps.all of these blogs have been my favorite for a few days in the last month :)

i have sources telling me that people want to see my carribean outfits BUT my silly papa left ALL the pictures on his work computer, SO we will have to get that sorted out (wont we?). and before i forget, brooke (my friend from school) says hi!

my camera was out of battery so i was not able to take pics for my outfit today but it was floral shorts from uo, lace top also from uo, coach high tops from the sale rack at DSW, and my favorite accessory: my mom's black belt.

and! i have a dilemma and i need help. my pictures always show up really tiny when i post them, then i go to other people's blogs and they are humongous, and i just don't understand it! so if anyone can tell me why this happens i would really appreciate it, otherwise i'm going to have to harass my fellow bloggers with obnoxious emails ;)

quick post from the carribean

hey. i'm planning on making this DIY miu miu tights tutorial that i found on cocorosa. i actually can't wait, it seems like fun (to me at least). well anyway, i'm making this post via a cell phone-ish wi fi so i can't put pictures BUT, i got this formspring question:

WELL, it went away, it said like "have you seen the alexa chung show, i love her shoes". and i looked it up and went on her website and on style.com BUT i can't find exactly what they're talking about.... yea, so i kind of need some help with this one, if you could, or if you know what they are talking about. i'm taking some outfit pictures when i'm down here so i'll post them when i get back and you all can see the ocean in the background. :) good bye!
