Sick
I am very very sick.
Sorry I haven't written anything in such a long time, I was in New York and Boston for a week, got sick there, came home, got even more sick.
I haven't even been at school for the entire week!
Anyways, when I was in New York, my family and I went to an art opening for my god father's boy friend, Timothy. It's safe to say that he and his artwork attract a very strange crowd. When I was standing outside, waiting for my family to finish saying goodbye to everyone, I noticed that the teenagers there were sporting the "rock and roll, hardcore" style. While I was in heels, a lace skirt, and a peacoat. I got a lot of weird looks from them.
There was also a guy there who made his own "sunglasses" which weren't really sunglasses, they were more like glasses that shielded everything, including the sun. Basically, you wouldn't be able to see anything if you were wearing them. They looked like this:
Also, there was a lady with a really cute leather jacket on. I really liked her jacket. Then, she turned around and there was a dead skunk laying across her right shoulder. Personally, I don't know why anyone would want a dead animal (much less a skunk!) that close to their face...
New York was a fun experience and I got to see a lot of interesting people there, so I really liked it. Unfortunately, I was sick most of the time and had to stay in the apartment that we rented. But I loved what I got to see!

fashion fail...
Well, I already managed to not keep up with the promises I made to myself...
But that's okay because at the moment I am broke. And I really would not like to be broke right now because I'm going to New York in 4 days.
New York!!!
I KNOW I can get street style ideas there and hopefully I'll be able to keep my promises then...
But until New York, I want to talk about summer.
My inspiration for this summer's wardrobe:
Ivy from 90210- I love that show so much... But I also love how beachy and easy going her style is and I'm going to be trying that out this summer.

My other inspiration is hippie! Well, I guess you could call it a mixture between hippie and the prairie.
Im so excited for summer!!! It's 7:45 pm here and it's still light out...yesssssss.

switching up the style--- street style!
Not that many people (at all) are reading this, but I'm going to be changing around the style of my blog and of myself.
I'll start uploading pictures of my outfits and I hope that I'll see a progression in what I choose to wear.
Right now, I choose the most comfortable thing I can find... mostly because I spend about every day at a high school. Which sucks.
But I really want to make myself actually wear what I think is attractive for me.
there ARE a few steps to that, though
1) get a job- the most stylish items- to me - are usually out of my price range
2) Thrift more often!!! I love thrift shops but I can never decide if what I want to get is a good investment. I won't follow my good instincts anymore. Im buying EVERYTHING!!!
3)every other day (or at least every other day) I'll upload a favorite outfit.
4) I want to explore street style and let everyone know how AWESOME it is.
5) I need more heels. I've never had the courage to buy the statement heels that I love for fear of looking like a poser; I look really really young. most people think I'm 13. I'm 15. Heels on a 13 year old are kind- of presumptuous.
NEEDLESS to say,
I need to kick my fashion courage up a notch! - - - - or two!
another goal I'm going to work towards is trying as hard as I can to get more followers.
Writing a blog for a total of four people as an audience isn't quite motivational.
but I promise you'll see a change!!!
until next time... this is going to be the best new fashion blog out there.

Fashion Freak
I know I haven't written on my blog in a while, I've just been really busy and now I have mono... great. But, I'll try to write more, so don't worry, mom.
Well, I'm a fashion freak.
More like a clothes freak.
I don't really follow the latest runway shows or anything like that but almost every day when I come home I go online and look at clothes on so many different websites it's hard to keep track of the impossibly long sticky note on my computer.
I was just thinking about how when I was in 8th grade I remember being obsessed with the splatter paint trend, and then I was obsessed with plaid, and then once I got into high school I became obsessed with a more broad subject. Last year I was completely obsessed with crop tops. I would cut shirts until they were so short it really was not attractive... and then at the beginning of this year I was obsessed with sweaters, so it's safe to say I have a hefty load of sweaters in my closet and now I am completely infatuated with shoes. I want every pair of shoes I see. Period. The only problem is that I really can't afford the ones I like the most :( but I make it work, and I'm planning on spending the entirety of my allowance on shoes.
I just got my new seventeen magazine (yayy!) and I was looking at their shoe trends: wedges, stilettos, flats, and high tops were the ones that stood out the most to me. The "flats" trend has changed. Now it's more like menswear and topsiders. I really like it.
My shoe idols are :
-Steve Madden (LOVE)
-Aldo
-Michael Kors
-Nine West
-Betsey Johnson
And many more but I won't rant on too much.
I also really like some of Urban Outfitters' shoes, and they're priced pretty reasonably.
Same goes for Forever 21.
I just went on a huge shoe hunt. I can't decide which to buy! These are basically my style:
I'm starting to search for summer clothes because that's my favorite time to dress. :) I'm predicting a very hippie-esque summer. I'm planning on sewing a long black skirt and I'm trying to find as many toe ring sandals that I can. Needless to say, I'm insanely excited to wear it all!!!

today I was thinking a lot about a certain style of mine; I have a lot of different styles; and I want to share what goes through my mind when I plan an outfit out
First of all, I never usually express my true style during school because: I wake up with only half an hour to get ready and it takes me quite a while to figure out an outfit, and I feel that you shouldn't feel obligated to dress your best for school because if you think about it, school is a place where we go to be contained in a room for an hour four times a day for seven hours a day. If I had a choice, I wouldn't be in school at all right now, but I need high school credit to go to a nice college, which I am planning on doing.
BY THE WAY--- Dior firing John Galliano??? I mean, he did say some bad things but that IS a little bit harsh. I'm shocked, and now they've lost their best designer...
most of the clothes I fantasize about owning are far out of my spending range, unfortunately, as it is with most teenagers. However, I do thrift some things and I am in the process of learning how to alter clothes I find that don't fit! So, in the long run, it eventually works out pretty well. (Thrifting is a really good alternative)
*Maxi skirts are in for this summer and sprig, so stock up! I'm planning on making one for myself - it's very easy and waaaay cheaper. (free people)
This suede skirt caught my eye - it's delicate but edgy. (free people)

I was looking on Urban Outfitter's website today and I was thinking about how much I wish I could afford all their clothes.. but, what kind of teenager is going to want to buy a shirt for 50 dollars with their own money?
It's obvious that they target teenage customers but everything is so expensive! The only people I know who own Urban Outfitters clothes either get a very hefty allowance or their parents are trying to buy their affection. I've bought things from there before - only on sale - and I have to say that as much as I love their clothes and the overall style is much like mine, I don't have any intentions of shopping there from now on. It's just frustrating.
Down below : Jewelry from Madeherthink
Dresses from Pixie Market
I love those two dresses so much. they're so vibrant and the yellow dress is a really nice combo of floral and chiffon... The jewelry from Maderherthink is also amazing... all their accessories are.
