girls are mean.

I miss my cousin so much!! Last year at this time, we were standing on the space needle in Seattle.
Then we watched fireworks on TV later that night.

Well, welcome in 2010.

And what better way to welcome in 2010 then with new, cute hair?
I have a folder in my pictures where I keep photos of cute haircuts.

So, I'll open it up and show you what's inside:


(I don't own any of these photos, nor remember where I got most of them. They are mostly from google images)

note to ourselves: H&M.

Oh I really want to go to Seattle. Right now. lol.
The skys are blue, warning us to soak up the sun before we get soaked in rain.
But honestly, on Friday morning I woke up, walked into the hallway and looked out the huge hallway window and saw grey.
I was happy.

Ugh. Chores, chores, chores and a zillion pounds of SCHOOLWORK.

Prada, Fall 2009 RTW



There's those Mohawk heels....
So far, on all the coats, I love them. Other things like the fur dresses.......not so much. I would post the fur dress, but the model is terribly and hideously thin, and the dress cuts pretty deep down, so we will just skip that one.

What do you think of the new collection? Post your comments!

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

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.

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!!!!

It isin't some magical creature who lives online! It's real!!

I was in the big city of Seattle on Friday, selling cookies with three other members of our scout troop. While strolling down the street for a free haircut at Sassoon, the magenta interior of a nearby boutique strikes my attention. Involuntarily, I cancel it out, thinking it was some crazy random shop.
So there me and my mother stand on the street corner, some random guy next to us. I look over at the shop again, and the name catches my attention. Betsy Johnson. I literally start jumping up and down, clapping my hands, "Its BETSY JOHNSON MOM!!! BETSY JOHNSON!!!" I imagine the random dude looks over at me like, what in the world?!
Once we cross the street, I dart over and gaze in the window. "MOM! MOM! That's- that's the Evening Tea Party dress!!! You know, the one on my bulletin board?!" The Evening Tea Party dress first caught my attention while searching online. It comes in a variety of colors, all poufy and frilly.
I stand there gazing though the all-glass door, hazel eyes wide. I stare in disbelief for a moment.
We have to get to the salon quickly, so my mom says we can go in quickly after the appointment.
AFTER THE APOITMENT-- I practically dart in and touch the amazing dress. My mom looks at the price as I droll over it. "It's so pretty." I exclaim softly, gazing over the pink-and-white version.
"It's also almost five hundred dollars." My mom says, glancing at the tag.
We have to leave to get back to in front of AE Outfitters, where we were selling.
That dress is absolutely divine. If I had $500 with me, I would have bought it in a heart beat.
My mom is also into fashion, but she holds me back to making snap decisions.
As we walk away, I am still hyped-up, "I can't believe it [the store] is real! It isn't some magical creature who lives online! It's real!!"
