New & improved.

College... Again.
I got accepted to another college the other night, and it was much less exciting than my first acceptance. I have pretty much made up my mind on where I’d love to go. I know what it is that I need, and that is to get away from here and explore something new.Not to mention that I’ve already made friends! Let the adventure begin!<3.

Free dress friday & new to you.
Thursday morning: Our dress swap starts tomorrow morning. In study hall today/ where I’m a French teaching assistant, my friend and I are sorting the dresses up for those who would like one for free. I am very excited for it.Thursday night: We sorted the dresses from biggest to smallest. We actually have quite a few gorgeous dresses. They may be used, but most of them are in pretty good...
Disney & Style.
I am realizing that Disney Princesses have impeccable style.From every-day to gowns.In order, left to right.top to bottom. Snow White:Yeah. Nothing to say about her. She shouldn’t even be a princess. Cinderella: Sleeping Beauty:I’m sorry, but how much more awesome can you get than a color changing dress?! Ariel: Beauty and the Beast:Oh come on, do I even need to say it?! Jasmine:...
Journalism & Astrology?
Apparently some kind of event, for some reason or another, occured and changed star signs.This is now my journalism internet story.Not only am I interested in this,but I am curious.Why did it change?I’m sorry, but I will always be a libra.Funny enough- my name is a Roman goddess who translates to Greek Mythology’s Venus.My colorology is Cerulean. My favorite color is Pink.My...
Francais et en france.
We are reading Le Petit Prince in french class and somehow we got on the subject of Monaco.I remembered:1. The Icecream & that2. I barely wrote about my trip.I only briefly mentioned it in my blog about how the pageant was one of the best experiences of my life.But, so was France.Never did I think that being away from home would do me such good.I got to see things (and try things) I never...
Gym(nast).
Basically, today our schedule changed.This means that I now have gym class, and you guessed it, I HATE gym class.People treat the activities like they are the olympics.This is why I prefer induvidual sports, which, as you can tell, my weapon of choice is gymnastics.I may not be good at it, but, I love it.My dream was to do ballet, but seeing as how I did cartwheels instead of pirouettes,...
Favorites of the rainbow.
Just a little fun.Like what you see?Try it too!Choose one item of every color!♥ Rainbow: Red: Orange: Yellow: Green: Blue: Indigo: Violet: Pink: White: Silver: Grey: Black: Gold: Brown: ♥
Festival Princess & Miss America(n) dreams.
I can’t think of one little girl I know who didn’t used to want to be a princess,or atleast one that didn’t want a tiara.It’s a pretty big ache in me that pageants cost so much, because they truly make me happy.I love doing them.Somehow I managed to miss the Miss America 2011 Pageant.Of all people, I, missed it.I didn’t even realize until a week later!My big shock...
Living & being.
Being so far away from home, two and a half hours away from home, I’ll need to make my dorm feel like home.Since I’ll be living with someone else, this will not be an easy task.Atleast my college will match me up with someone based on interest and major.Which means maybe, just maybe, what I want my side to be like will work out. ♥
Supplies & Studies.
I have found that nothing helps me want to be a good student more than amazing school supplies.Not only am I an office supply hoard,but I am a sucker for pretty things.When I head off to college, there are a few things I NEED to take with me.♥
E-Reader & School.
So, with a very little bit of my scholarship money from my pageant, I decided to buy an E-reader.Practical? Yes.Fun? Oh yeah!Not only can I get college textbooks on it,but I can also read all of my A.P. Literature books on it.Not to mention my A.P. French books.All I have to do is just double click a word I don’t know, and the dictionary just pops up.The dictionary or translate.Ah, best use...
Classmates & Outfits.
A girl in my physics class had the most adorable outfit, ever, on today.Not that she doesn’t wear cute things every day, but this was exceptionally notable.It was a black and white striped shirt, with a pink bow chain belt, with a black flowered skirt, black leggings, and chain boots.Mainly from H&M.If there were any H&M stores around here,I would LOVE to have an outfit a few...
The Color Workshop
Thank you.For being inexpensive,Amazing,And most of all-For making me feel like I have the most beautiful eyes ever.What did I do without you?Much love, <3. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
A.P. English & smells.
In English we are going over sonnets.Somehow in one of Shakespeare’s, we got talking about smells. We spent the class talking about smells we like.I will always love Hollister, Abercrombie, Chanel men’s cologne, Axe, Old Spice, and Tommy Hilfiger.But aside from stores and brands, I adore cinnamon, coffee, fresh cut grass, rain, and snow.I think it’s amazing that smelling one...
Favorite hair & products.
I am really picky when it comes to hair considering there isn’t much I can do with mine. When choices are limited, these are what I rely on:ChignonCurlyStraightOr beachy waves.And what do I use to get it that way? Garnier Fructis Or Herbal Essences.<3 Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
Men & style.
These looks are what I love most.Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
Self & snow.
Sometimes, all you can do on a day of bad self confidence is play with makeup and play up your favorite feature. For me, that’s eyes. With the help of my two favorite mascaras I can do that. But my eyeliner, yeah, that sucks. I’m hoping that the snow doesn’t stop because of how I might be getting more senior pictures taken on satrday in the snow. Yay! <3. Sent from my Verizon...
Boys & Girls.
So, me being who I am, I was looking at GAP.(Which is far too much to pay.)Which brought me to GAP Kids.(Which is WAY too expensive, but WAY too cute.)I figure that a little more of an elaborate blog is what children’s clothing deserves.(Without the rediculous prices.)To my friends: try not to kill me.(Haha, love you all.)♥ Here’s to the boys!♥ & now for the girls!♥
Shoedazzle Showroom!
Yep- they got me right!♥
Perfume & parties.
Perfume can do a lot of things for a girl. They can make her feel cute, beautiful, classy, or sexy.Most of the time, I prefer to feel classy or sexy. Which means either juicy couture or types of chanel and dior.I got my Victoria’s Secret catalog yesterday, and in mix with my friend’s party, this is probably not a good thing. It brings up my want for a new, sexy scent, which made me...
Gold, peach, pink & royal blue.
Gold brings out my italian.Peach brings out the color of my lips.Pink makes me think of cupcakes!Dark blue makes me think of sapphire.<3
Men & children.
There is nothing I like to see more than men in polos, button ups, khakies, or jeans.My friend is not pleased with the fact that my taste makes me want to buy her little boy a sweater vest or tuxedo. It’s always the preppy look that I love!Same with the girls.& Together:<3. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
Blazers & black jeans.
On a two hour delay, I have more time to get ready and look pretty.Today, I tried something new.I curled my hair,ANDI mixed brown and black,Which I never do.So I decided to do it subtly with a cream blazer, white lace shirt, and black skinny jeans. Better to be safe.<3.Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
Google & Prom.
It’s actually only by coincidence that they are all pink…Maybe it’s a sign I should wear pink? I wonder if I have the guts to wear a big poufy dress. Makes me need to.Half of these are actually Quince dresses.My original plan was dark red,But there don’t seem to be many dresses in that area... Opinions on:StyleColor&AccessoriesWould Be Lovely♥
Oh here we go again.
Oh how I wish these two were long! In purple please!I’m going to end up needing a Quinceañera gown&A LOT of help from friends.♥

Ready or not.
Soon, my life is yet again going to throw a curveball at me. Another change. Ready or not. Throwing me out of my comfort zone, and testing me. Whether I like it or not. It’s necessity. If you don’t want my fears or thoughts, don’t read this. I don’t want your judgments. If you have too many other problems to care, don’t read this either. This time next year, I am...

Books & fashion.
In a conversation about a book cover in A.P. English, Luxe to be exact, I realized that I really probably was born in the wrong time period. I need a time period when I can wear corsets and poufy dresses with heels all the time. Like in Luxe.Or maybe in Gone With The Wind. Though the people would infuriate me, the idea of the clothing and the hats all the time is really glamourous.Now we have...
Prom & weddings.
A group of my friends and I are planning on going prom dress shopping soon.I have had all kinds of dresses: short, long, mermaid, trumpet, cinched, one strap, strapless, halter, short sleeve. The only one I haven’t is poufy and corseted.I almost did for prom; I made mom tie up five corsers and ended up with no corset at all. Guess that’s what happens when you go in with a plan. So now,...

Fallbacks & passions.
Being at the mall last night, I saw this absolutely yucky little girl’s dress. Camoflage and purple. I began to wonder what some people are thinking when they make these clothes. To each it’s own I guess? Being a major in fashion and journalism, I figured out that there are so many ways I could branch out into a ton of different career options- and designing or merchandising...
Scrunched hair & studs.
I decided today I wanted to mix sweet with, you know, not so much. I’m feeling pretty rockish but cute.♥
Me & myself.
I’m clingy Confused Childish A high school girl I’m hurt Judged Rude Aware Untrusting Determined I keep my mouth shut about other people’s relationships because its not my business and I’m tired of people judging mine.

Journalist & editor.
In the competative field of fashion, one has to do all they can to break through. From one’s job, to college major, to internships. People start at the bottom and work their way up. Especially in their respective careers. One would originally begin as a writer, for whichever of their given choices: magazines, newspapers, websites, blogs, or television. This requires researching and...
Present, struggling, coping & supporting.
According to the World Health Organization, 121 million people in the world are currently suffering from depression. The National Institute of Mental Health added that 18 million of these cases are happening in the United States. However, a report from IMAlive states that 19 million Americans are living with depression at this very moment.It seems that depression is affecting people of younger...
Marilyn & Audrey.
Ah, my loves. The two people I look up to most. Besides my Grandma Rose. Why? One’s a skank and one’s aneorexic? Not so much. And if you think so, you really don’t take the time to analyze people and their lives. Marilyn Monroe: the confidence. sex appeal. intelligence. She wasn’t stupid. And that’s all anyone wanted to make her out to be. No. She was far from that....
Internships & stylists.
I was reading through a list of internships where I was accepted to college- I have to say I am pleased. Some I would go for in a heartbeat, others not so much. I’d love to intern at: (you have to start somewhere.) I’m not picky- (Haha, yeah right) <3. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
Lists & effects.
This is a list of things that I want to get at some point in the near future. Pink pens: never fail to make me feel pretty and girly. Yes, I can love pink and not be a ditzy person. Juicy Couture Original: a frangrance that makes me feel classy and destresses me. Ah, the love I have for that silly little dabber perfume. Curious: best perfume by Britney Spears. Makes me feel somewhat...
Dresses & service.
For our National Honor Society project, my friend thought that a dress swap would be an amazing idea. I had seconded it, and now am the Stylist. For this service project, all members, and even some people who aren’t can, donate dresses. So far we have 50 some, I believe? Now people who couldn’t originally afford a dress, can get one just by swapping in another. And, at the end,...
Life & how I am.
Everyone has so much going on right now. My friends, my family, people I talk to. It all piles on especially when you have problems yourself. So I choose to keep to myself. Is this my own fault? Yes. Do I want it to be? No. No one else needs to deal with my trivial and not so trivial problems when everyone else has so much on their plates. The last thing I ever wanted to be was a burden. I am now,...
Snapping point & who I am.
I am girly I’m a princess I’m a snotty little brat -atleast I can admit it. I dream big I may never get what I want But I’m a fighter -atleast I have goals. I like travelling I love getting away I dream of New York and Paris -atleast I cherish the people here. I’m curvy I love carbs I am picky -atleast I can eat what I want. I complain I get angry and cry often I...

Presentations & the ongoing debate between...
My AP Ballad presentation went really well. Now that that’s out of the way, I am able to focus on the fact that on the 22nd I am eligible for an upgrade on my phone. Like most people, I’m stuck on Blackberry or Droid. Unlike most people, I think the iphone is overrated. Seeing as very limited phones will be free for me, I am on only two choices for droid and two for blackberry. Droid:...
Make-up & trips to CVS.
No lie, my favorite store. Ever. It has seen me through the worst, and the best. Worst: Covergirl Lipstain. Who makes a water-based lip product? Are you stupid? CVS either refunded my money when I returned it, or let me pick something else out. You saved me many cracked lips and terrible product disasters. I found that Covergirl will never be a brand that I look to for makeup, nor is Rimmel...
iStylista & ShoeDazzle.
I have recently found, one on my own and one from a friend, two different styling sites I fell in love with.One for shoes, ShoeDazzle, and one of clothes, iStylista.Each of these are pretty awesome. Here are my personalized picks from both! iStylista! ShoeDazzle!Oh, come on. We all know that shoes speak for themselves- they don’t share lines.That’s all there is to it.♥
Boscov's, Strawberry, & a hint of Miley Cyrus and...
I am really picky about what I wear. It has to be dressy and it has to fit me. I don’t care if it comes from Wal-Mart or Chanel, if it doesn’t fit, it’s a no-go (though it’d be really hard!)My main go-to’s are Boscov’s and Strawberry with a dash of Wal-Mart- and no Paris Hilton, they don’t make walls there.They do, however, somehow- manage to make amazing...
Blazers & beauty.
Formal presentations are tomorrow, and we have to dress up, and any occasion to dress up is something I will fully take advantage of.I’ve been planning on my favorite blazer from Boscovs, white skinnies (also from there), and my heel booties from Santa Clause. I’m really excited too that I get to curl my hair for the first time in a long time, and play around with makeup. I was able to...
Rachel Bilson & Blair Waldorf.
Fictional and non-fictional style icons? It’s so much better to have both. I could never adore Rachel Bilson’s style any more than I do. I love her mix of edgy and cute. It’s not badass, but cute. Which is why it’s a somewhat reachable style for me.The Gossip Girl in me then takes over- and, typically, overpowers the other image. I, am preppy. Admittedly. I like the frills...
