back at home

AND SWELTERING MY GUTS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE need OUR AC FIXED!!
This is SO dramatic.

*sigh*
seeing that I can't control the weather I shouldn't complain.

The entire flight I read 2 magazines, (Harper's Bazaar and InStyle). Combat Blue is in...mascaras? Hmm.
But I DID read in InStyle that if you just do black (Brown may look more fabulous) then blue on the tips.
All the blue mascaras they recommended were like, $20.00. But you can get the CoverGirl Exact Eyelights mascara in the one for blue eyes and its like blue. LOL. Plus its only about $7.00

you are so not buying an 'Alaskan Grown' sweatshirt.

heading back home today. Lord willing, of course.
Got the new InStyle and Harper's Bazaar magazines to read on the plane. I am trying to NOT read them yet! soooo tempting...the fall fashions.....
My cousin Kelly took me to get some mineral makeup stuff, which rocks!!! Now I have some powder that actually matches my skin tone!! plus amazing 'ivy league' gel eyeliner!! Oh, the brand is Cor Cosmetics.

I'm almost all packed up so yeah! Just waiting around for 3:00....SUSPENSE.
I think I will go get some salmon.

"really Kelly?? Are you sure?"

Where do I start??!
OK, lunch.

So my cousin Kelly, her son Nick, his gf Katie and I went to some really good restaurant and ate. Katie had to get to work and Nick had to drive her so yeah.

Kelly and I departed in her bright yellow Ford Escape. Most boutiques were closed, but 'Shy' wasn't!! We spent allot of time in the beautiful boutique. The sales person was really kind and let me take pics so yeah!

I tried on a DVF wrap dress. It was SO COOL. At first it was confusing but I got it. LOL. I've only heard of 'faux wraps' and this was like, a real wrap dress!!!! And the fabric was silk but it was so heavy! And It didn't feel like silk, it was really nice. Heavy yet not like, wool-billy-billy-goat heavy. : )

Then Kelly came back with like, 4 different dresses for me to try on. The first one was a Rebbecca Taylor black one that was like, red-carpet worthy. The second one was a more retro pumpkin-orange one which was ehh and then there was another really cute black one that was like, really cool. The last was my most favorite of alll!! I totally forgot which was black with a cream embroidery...Kelly described it as very 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'

Kelly bought a pair of jeans..I think they were a dark wash J Brand. Amazing!!

After 'She' we went into Nordstom to use the bathroom. I looked around in the Misses department. They have dozens of thousands of beautifulllll coats!!!! Like this one fabulous chocolate leather one...ekk!

They are having some sale going on, basically instead of $500 for a pair of socks its $250. Oh what a deal. :P

We wandered down to the shoe department where I saw some cute suede boots that were marked down to like, $50. Which I think is extremely good for good quality boots that will last me a few years. (And yeah I say only a few years because my feet are still growing).

For me personally this kind of thing is motivating. Motivating to like, work hard so then I can someday walk in one of these stores and actually buy something.

Work hard and you will succeed!

I guess some people just don't like to link arms...

Alaska has been great!!!!!! but the sad thing is my cousin, Haley who is like 1 year younger then me is exiting to Florida tomorrow so yeah.

But today my grandma, brothers, mom, Jacob, Haley and Drew (Jacobs close friend) went to the mall.

The mall is really, reallllllyyyyyyyyyyyyy small but yeah..

So my grandma took Haley and I to get our nails done. I got a french! :)
Anyways, my friends dad had a heart attack and his leg (idk which one) from the knee-down is amputated. PLEASE PRAY FOR HIM AND HIS FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So we went into Old Navy and then this reminded me to tell you!! NEVER buy the metallic old navy flip flops!!!

I got a pair of the silver ones (which I have to use. blarg!!) last summer and I HATE them!!! They are SO thick and made out of this weird material thing ugh there so horrid.
Stick to the 2 for $5 foamy ones..not the weird metallic ones. They deceit you with there sparkileness!!!

last day of fashion class :(

For our last-day-of-class assignment we were commanded to make a garment out of black and white trash bags. I knew that everyone was going to do the dress thing so I did a Poncho!!!!!!! There were three girls in my group (including myself) Madie (who was the model so she couldn't really do anything but hold the stuff in place) and Julia (who did nothing expect give me tape, I asked multiple times if she wanted to help but shes like, "I'm ok").It took SO long to do the hood on the poncho, especially since I decided to line it with white garbage bag for that pizzazz so ummmm yes!!
I am so grateful for the fact that I was able to attend this class!! It was amazing and I really want to go for the full-year next school year.

I have almost everything together for Alaska, expect my iPod and laptop but yeah. Oh and SD Flash drive thing but yeah. :P

I can't believe it's been a year since I went up there last...since my great-grandpa died.....drama.

So my Grandfather in Florida is sick and not digesting his food properly. Last time I checked he was 81 or so...please please pray for him.

Another thing, my Friend's dad was in a motorcycle accident, he collided into a semi. He is in the hospital right now. Please keep him in your prayers.

Be a rebel, open the wrong side of the popcorn bag.

Tommrow were planning on SEATTLE!! again!! yay!!

Ugh. We have had soooo many assignments for the class and one of them is design a shoe-box window display. So I of coarse went more a more modern, white look. There's this one lady Victoria who worked for Nickelodeon or whatever who now helps with the class and so she stopped by where I was sitting and said maybe it would be a good idea to put more color blahblahblabhhh.
I nodded and smiled, "Ok." "Oh yes!" "Yeah" came out of my mouth allot, while Inside I was just like, just smile and nod...smile and nod....
Yeah, I'm sticking with the all-white.

We also have had to design 3+ 'lines'. I picked casual (not like sweats and T-shirts, casual chic), office and U.S. Navy inspired.
And I was so excited when I finished my office line today. Yay!!
Now I just have to do one more casual look and 1 (MAYBE 2) U.S. Navy-inspired looks.
The teacher keeps saying, "its crunch time, ladies.." and stuff but I'm not totally worried about the drawings anymore since I only have like, 3 to do.
I have kinda a system down (ok, not really) where I work for an hour on one outfit (completely, from the light table to computer).

On the 17th we will be -LORD willing- in Alaska. I am trying to restrain myself from spending $$$ before the trip, so I can get some amazing peice there. But then again, theres not that much up there but oh well! got to pppellz deh eyes, eh??

Seattle tomorrow!!!! yay!
The only thing that is :( about it is that we will be in a regular mall...but whatever! It's still the city!!!!
