Midterms

People are stressing. I'm not too worried about much, except for my economics test on Wednesday. In fact I am writing this with time I don't have. I should be looking at graphs, memorizing equations, understanding price elasticities. I guess I don't have my priorities straight.

French braided my hair the night before into two ponytails, then put the ponytails into little buns on the back of my head. Makes getting ready in the morning super easy and means I get a little more time to sleep!

Halloween is near (alright October just started), but I did some decorating and it makes me so happy to look at the little stick-ons!

This is a special week {the first week of October is always super special). Why? Well 1. it is October, the best month; and 2. It's also birthday week in my family: Tomorrow is my mom's b.day, then my uncles and finally on Thursday it's mine! I for some reason feel that my birthday celebration is a whole week, cause my parents and friends make me feel so special. But this year {18th birthday} I will be celebrating without them and with the new friends I've made here! So during the week I like to look nice, which in turn makes me special amid all of the sweatpants, UGGs, t-shirts, etc. that are found all around campus.

In 10 Minutes or Less

A little something I found in the library: Hey! I see you sitting there studying hard! Just FYI you are amazing and all your hard work will pay off! Good Luck & Rock that test tomorrow!

This look came together in 10 minutes or less. I was at the gym and I lost track of time so I had to rush to get dressed for work. I didn't have any time to do straighten my hair so I went for braids, usually my go to look when I don't have a clue what to do. What's your go to look?

Working Hard or Hardly working?

Yesterday was one of those days where everything was going right and then somewhere it took a turn for the worst and it just changed your entire mood. It was silly to be so upset yesterday over losing my school id (aka my money, and entry into my dorm), and then the whole day was seen through gloomy eyes. The weather was really nice: sunny but not hot.

 These guys are amazing, they make me feel so happy!

View outside my window yesterday! Mt. Rainer is so beautiful and it's awesome that I get to see it every clear day. 

Rain Drops Keep Falling on My Head {or so I thought}

When I got dressed this morning it was foggy, and rainy. So I dressed accordingly, but as I write this the sun is coming out. -_- Are you serious? Now I look like a weirdy dressed all wintery when it is all sunny. I'm going to beg the weather gods to make it cold, and dreary again- for my sake anyways. Sorry people who want it to be warm, not gonna happen while I'm dressed like this. 

In the Trenches

Trench Coat: Gap; Striped shirt: Gap; Jeggings: Nordstroms; Gifted Boots: Steve Madden

 The weather is on/off rain/drizzle, which to be honest I was excited for because I wanted to show off my rain boots!  I feel a little Parisian with my trench coat, and stripes, which is always a good thing. And now that I've got the wardrobe part down, I've got to work on my smoking and my laissez-faire attitude. That should be a piece of cake? Non?

Stripes are a staple in my book

Special bracelets: the first is a custom designed bracelet that I bought for my two other friends, the second is a friendship bracelet I made this summer (I made it connect to a chain- my inspiration here), and a symbolic bracelet someone in my orientation group made for me 

Hope your week is off to a great start!

Celebrating Friday!

Blazer: Urban Outfitters; Tank: Forever21; Shorts/Earrings: Macy's Shoes: Sperry; Nail polish: Essie's Aruba Blue

It's been hot, and humid in Washington so it's been putting me into a wardrobe funk. But I woke up yesterday feeling positive and excited ( I mean it was Friday). And Friday's are usually Casual Friday (sweats/leggings, t's) but I thought why not celebrate the beginning of the weekend! I wore this to class, work, and lunch. Dressing up made me feel so much better, I'll be putting way more effort into my outfits from now on.

Fall 2011 Commence

I love fall, there's nothing I don't like about it. I especially love seeing the slow transition from summer clothes to fall clothes. Kinda like seeing the leaves go from green to red.

This fall I am hoping to wear...
 a cape- this is like a way cooler  version of the poncho, cause you're wearing a cape (like batman, but fashionable).
argyle socks with my wellies. I live in a very rainy state so my boots will be in frequent rotation and these cute socks peeking out will be just the thing to make me stand out.
an infinity scarf. I've wanted one for quite sometime but haven't been able to actually get around to buying it. But it would be a definite staple in  my wardrobe.
fall dresses! I hardly ever wear dresses but my goal is to wear more dresses except that all my dresses are for spring/summer. So a fall/winter dress that I can wear with tights is a definite must.
a backpack. I've seen it everywhere, and people look especially cooler when they walk around with one/ it'll be easier to carry my books when I finally get my bike up here.
beanie- self explanatory.
these wedge booties make my shoe fetish heart beat twenty times faster. they would give a plain outfit some edge.

Future Destination Part II {Prague}: What I'm Packing

The weather in Prague is not always cold as I had once thought; it actually is hot in the summer, warm in the spring, and cold in fall/ winter. They also seem to get a bit of rain. My favorite season is fall, so I'll pretend that I'm packing for Prague instead of Tacoma, WA this fall.

For Prague I thought a lot about neutrals, things that would be let me roam the streets of Prague until night but also let me spend the days seeing the sights. 

Future Destination Part I {Morocco}: What I'm Packing

If I had the opportunity to go to Morocco right now, here are some of the things I'd want in my suitcase. I wanted there to be a lot of color, and really easy, flow dresses/skirts/ shirts. Nothing that would constrict me. I am enjoying playing dress up, I think I 'm tricking myself into believing that I'm actually going to Morocco tomorrow. Dreaming doesn't hurt. 

Happy Weekending!

J.Crew

I really really love J.Crew, too bad I can rarely afford anything from them. Despite that I really can't help myself from drooling at their amazingly styled clothes. What I love about looking at their looks is that even though I can't afford their clothes, I can create a similar outfit with more affordable clothes.

Check out these amazing espadrilles, I'd wear these everyday if I could. Perhaps the Easter Bunny will bring these to me :)

LC by Lauren Conrad

Throughout LC's reality TV years we've seen her style evolve from a California beach girl into an international style inspiration. She's already created a couple of clothing collections. Many debate whether her clothes are anything special or just overpriced.This year she came out with another line for Kohls- that's main focus is on femininity, spring, floral, etc. Take a look and share what you think!

 

Amazing hair- so jealous

Springgg

It is officially Spring! The cold weather is behind us- well not exactly we apparently have storms headed our way in the Bay. But Monday the weather was sunny and I got the feeling that the rainy weather will be gone soon, to give some sun! Although my family has called a cease of spending I can't help but feel the need for a wardrobe change with the change in season. Unfortunately or fortunately I have to make due with what I have. I have highlighted a couple of things I hope to rock this spring.

1. Floral dresses and skirts
2. Lady-like shorts
3. Delicate white tanks and dresses
4. Boat shoes
5. Fun necklace chains
6. Cool headbands

Fashion Crush: Elle Fanning

Dakota Fanning's little sister is making a name for herself both in the acting world and fashion world. This year she starred in Sofia Coppola's movie Somewhere. She rocks the red carpet like a pro and I'm sure will continue to rock as she gets older.

Pretty and delicate details. 

Her style is very sweet and girly. Think pink, lace, delicate, ruffles and preppy. She dresses her age but can total handle sky high heels. She looks very graceful and almost swan-like. I'm not sure what I like about her style, but I am drawn to the soft looks, short, playful, dream-like dresses. I can't wait to see how she progresses in Hollywood and beyond, anything is possible!
