So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! Yep, here I am, not able to sleep. I can never sleep on Christmas Eve...It's not possible. Anyways, I hope all of you have an amazing Christmas (if you celebrate)! I probably won't have any posts for a few days because I'm just going to relax and enjoy the rest of my Winter break.

Roam

I love nail polish. I just got into it recently, actually. Right now I would love to get some of the nail polish from the OPI Burlesque collection and the China Glaze Holiday collection.

China Glaze - Mrs. Claus

This is such a great color for December - a sparkly red. 

 China Glaze - Mistletoe Kisses

This is a really pretty sparkly green/blue color!

China Glaze - Party Hearty

This is definitely my favorite of the holiday collection from China Glaze. I think it is just such a great color to wear on Christmas Eve and Christmas!

 OPI - Show It & Glow It

I think this is my favorite color from the Burlesque collection, a gorgeous sparkly purple. 

 OPI - Simmer & Shimmer

I love this color as well, although I think it would be a pretty color for the Summer instead of Winter. 

 

OPI -  Bring on the Bling

I think this would look like you are wearing pure gold on your fingers - love it!

 What's your favorite color?

 Roam - B52s

Call Me

I avoid places like Hollister and Abercrombie, just because I don't feel like being a walking billboard, but there is something to be said about the clothes at American Eagle Outfitters. They don't have their name blown up on every single thing, and some of their clothes are pretty cute!

 

Light & Lofty Rugby Stripe Sweater - $39.95

 Striped Favorite Shirt - $39.50

Embroidered Boho Tunic - $39.50

Waterfall Ruffle Cami - $34.50

Call Me - Blondie

I Feel Fine

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I guess this is a little late, since there are only fifteen minutes left of today. Anyways, I had a great day with my dad's side of the family. My family went over to my dad's aunt's house (my great aunt's) and we had dinner with everyone. However, I feel kind of like a Debby Downer on Thanksgiving because the only thing I eat is turkey, mashed potatoes, and rolls. Yep - And everyone teases me about sweet potatoes. I'll tell you why: One year my dad forced me to try them. So, I was sitting with my sisters and my cousin and I took a bite. Yuck! So I try to wash it down with some soda and my sisters and cousin were laughing at me, so I started laughing. Big mistake - the soda came out my nose. Needless to say, I've never tried sweet potatoes again. Well, I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving!

I Feel Fine - The Beatles

You Can't Always Get What You Want

Does anyone have $50 they can loan me? Because I want these boots soooo bad...

"Alexis" suede riding boots in taupe from Ruche 

$48.99

I feel like they'd go with so many different outfits, like a tucked in pair of jeans and a button-down shirt or some tights and a dress. 

You Can't Always Get What You Want - The Rolling Stones

New Moon on Monday

Some fashion inspiration (all from lookbook.nu)

 

This outfit really makes me want a denim jacket. Alas, I'm broke...

 

I wish it was still sunny outside so I could wear this.

 

Looks extremely comfortable but is still a great outfit!

New Moon on Monday - Duran Duran

Precious and Few

I thought I'd share some of my favorite bloggers with everyone. So...

Instant Flowers

I have to say that this blog is probably my favorite. I wish I was her best friend so I could borrow all her clothes (does that sound creepy?). 

Esther-fromthesticks

I am crazy jealous of her sewing skills (she sewed what she's wearing in this picture). Although, as of right now, she's taken a break from blogging which is pretty upsetting.

Alice Point
I love to look through her outfit pictures. This blog is in a different language, however, so I can't understand any of it! (I also don't know what language it's in)

Altamira: Models Off Duty
This blog has some great pictures of models (off the runway) and I get a lot of inspiration from this one!

CRUEL THING
I LOVE this blog! She has such a great taste in clothes, I find myself getting pretty jealous!

Those are some of my favorite blogs, and I would suggest checking them out. I hope you enjoyed this post!

 Precious and Few - Climax Blues Band

Wouldn't It Be Nice

I recently did a post on pieces I thought were cute from Forever 21. But if you've ever been in the store or shopped online, you probably know there can be some pretty weird/ugly things there too. Here are some examples (I don't mean to offend anyone with this!).

 

Foliage Print Harem Pants

Technicolor Sweater Vest

 

Cheetah Wedge Ankle Boots

Wouldn't It Be Nice - The Beach Boys

Forever Young

Happy Halloween everyone! I am going to try out a before and after thing for this post. 

Before (5:30 PM)

This is kind of a sad Halloween for me, because it's the first year I'm not going trick-or-treating. My parents won't let me anymore because apparently I'm too old. First of all, no one is too old for free candy! Second of all, that depresses me because it obviously means I'm getting older. I'm kind of afraid of growing up because it seems like everyone expects you to be boring and act "normal". However, I'm making a promise to myself right here and now that I will be one of those adults who everyone stares at and thinks are extremely immature. Anyways, back to Halloween. I'm taking my little sister around Trick-or-Treating, and I'm going to make sure she get's tons of candy. Hopefully she'll share some with me? She is dressing up as a koala bear! It is sooo adorable.

After (7 PM)

Well, I think my sister got a pretty good amount of candy. Especially for this neighborhood - we have a bunch of party poopers who don't celebrate/give out candy. And also, she is pretty young so she got tired quickly. Some people mistook her for a boy because her costume has a hood and I guess her voice sounds like a boy's? Also, one lady thought I was her mom! That was kind of embarrassing. Well, I hope you guys had an awesome Halloween!

P.S. I'm sorry that my latest posts haven't really been related to fashion. I promise that future posts will be 100% fashion-related!

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Beware: This post has almost nothing to do with fashion.

So today I went to the mall with my best friend, Anna (which is not her real name) to celebrate my birthday. I had a Forever21 gift card (thank you grandma!) and so I bought a really cute sweater, some tights, and a headband. Afterwords, we went to the movie theater and watched The Social Network. Which was amazing! If you haven't seen it, you should, and I'm not just saying that because I think the actor who plays Eduardo is totally hot. 

 

My Views and Reviews

We then came back to my house and had some coconut cream pie - yummm...

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper

What a Feeling

It's 12:07 AM right now, which means it's officially my birthday! This means only one more year until I can get my license. Umm...you may want to keep this date on the calendar and stay off the roads for a week or so. Anyways, tomorrow my best friend in the entire world, who for privacy's sake I will call Anna, is going to the mall with me for some shopping. After that we're going to see a movie that I have been wanting to see: The Social Network. It looks pretty good to me, don't you think? 

 

Well, I better get to bed, I don't want to be tired the rest of the day!

What a Feeling - Irene Cara

Once in a Lifetime

I recently went to Seattle and did a little shopping, so I thought I'd show off what I got! 

This is from Urban Outfitters - It was originally $48 but was on sale for $19.99!

This is also from Urban Outfitters and was $58.

This is from H&M and was $14.95.

It was a really fun day. My dad and I drove up so I could receive an award from John Hopkins along with other kids (note: I am a really big nerd, not something I really want to get into on this blog though). After that I basically dragged my dad all over Seattle shopping. We then went to an amazing restaurant called Cutters Bayhouse and had salmon and steak. I love salmon but for some reason my mom despises it, so I never get to eat it! 

Once in a Lifetime - Talking Heads

Do You Believe in Magic

Some outfits from Lookbook that are inspiring me at the moment:

Just What I Needed

Okay, I can't help being like every other teenagers who loves Forever 21. I know some people have a problem with the quality of their clothes, but I have never had a problem with anything I've bought from there (although I probably just jinxed myself by saying that...we'll see). And if you have had a problem with the quality, you can't really complain because it's so inexpensive. I kind of feel like I'm advertising for them right now...

Umbrella Stripe Sweater

$19.80

Striped Sweater Dress

$24.90

Field of Roses Skirt

$19.90

Zigzag Pattern Scarf

As you can see, I'm really bad with the photo credits thing. When I see a picture I like on lookbook or a random blog that I'm looking at, I will just save it to my thumb drive for inspiration, so I almost never know the source. If you ever see a picture of mine and know where it's from, please tell me so I can give it proper credit!
