Fashion && Field Trips

So, yesterday, we went on a field trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was pretty cool, except that a bunch of immature dorks were laughing at all the nude statues of women and men. I mean, it was pretty sad. They were taking pictures (no flash allowed) and snickering and everything, and my friend was shaking his head and was like, "Bill, haven't you ever seen a porno?" and that really cracked everyone up, and Bill turned bright red. After that, the rest of the school day was pretty much boring (biology, world history, yada yada). I mean, there is absolutely no point in taking English class!! So, our vocab will improve. SO?? I bet I can name like, ten famous people who have great vocabulary without taking English classes. Okay, so I can't. Whatev.

I just got back from shopping. I must admit defeat to my sacrifice of buying knockoffs. I found a black Louis Vuitton scarf in Canal Street that I couldn't resist. I mean, once you see Canal Street and its multitude of knockoffs, it's kind of hard to not buy anything. I guess it's that way with shopping. You see something, you buy something. Anyway, I have no idea what to wear it with, but it was five dollars and the monogramming was like, the exact same as a real one, so I had to indulge. I might wear it as a belt. I got that idea from the Clique, btw. Their fashion ideas are so cute!! Mismatched boots, ties/scarves as belts, earrings pinned to blazers, etc. Lisi Harrison is a geeeenius.

I also bought a pair of beeeeyoutiful shoes at Payless. Who cares if you pay less? LOL. They're totally gorgeous. I forgot what brand they were...Bogo, I think. Well, if my stupid USB and computer weren't broken or slow, maybe I'd be able to show you guys. But my parents are too lazy and they're like, "you don't need to show the world your shopping treasures." YES!! I DO!! Whatev. They're these wedges and they look almost wooden...it looks fabulous, although I can't wear them yet because we're still getting a dose of cold weather.

I've decided to take interest in DIY projects. My best friend Rachel recently turned and ugly floral sack dress (you couldn't tell the skirt apart from the arm sleeves, I swear!!) into a gorgeous sleeveless dress. All she did was cinch it, trim the sleeves, made the skirt shorter (who wants to wear a floor-length floral sack??) so it reached her knees, and added a pink ribbon across the front. Rachel works wonders with a needle. All I do is poke myself ten times a minute. What a talent, huh? (:

P.S. What I'm wearing (I love to do these): My going-out-to-eat-lunch-at-panera-bread outfit...which happens to be: a fabulous black and cream striped sweater from Anthropologie that Sierra HATES. She says it makes me look like an inmate. Screw you. It looks cute with my Hollister jeans (they're so comfy!!), my cream-colored ankle boots (Herberger's), my black chandelier earrings (Kenneth Jay Lane-Neiman Marcus), and my Jimmy Choo bag which you can view below...and its contents. God, I'm hungry. It's past noon!!

The Handbag of my Eye

When I saw this bag at Nordstrom, I fell in love!! Too bad it's way out of my budget. :( Oh well. Do you know how cute it would look with the gold sequined dress I bought at Bebe for like, $20 (it was on sale)? Too cute. And throw on a pair of black kitten heels and you've got yourself a definite red carpet 10.

I want it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone else? Or do they think this is totally UGLY? Tell me what you think. It looks a little old lady-ish if you look at it for a while, but if you keep staring at it, you suddenly realize how ah-mazingly ah-dorable this would look with a sequined gold dress that has a black bow in the back. And some kitten heels from Manolo Blahnik, of course.

I can't stop thinking about this!! It's like, a disease. MUST STOP THINKING ABOUT TOO CUTE HANDBAG.

I'm going to indulge in an illegal shopping crime and start hunting for a knock off. I know, I know, I'm stooping way too low. But I have to have it!! And I'm sure its faux twin is sitting somewhere on a hanger on Canal Street. I just have to find out where...

R.I.P. Heath (again I'm late)

This has become somewhat of a habit. Being late, I mean. I've got to stop this!! It should've been my new year's resolution, but it's too late. Whatever. I can give up being late for Lent or something. Isn't that what you do?!?! Give up something for Lent? I should give up school for Lent. =P Anyway, to more important news...

...Heath Ledger died! Everyone probably knows about the autopsy and everything so I'm not going to plunge into any details. But it's so sad. He was a great actor, and I totally LOVED Brokeback Mountain!!!!! =( I swear, my sister was probably crying more than his parents. She begged my mom to stay home from school. Wow. I love Heath Ledger (Especially in 10 Things I Hate About You!!), but I'm not like, obsessed or anything. Unlike my sister. Don't tell her I said that, btw.

Anyway, I went shopping (AGAIN) yesterday. Get used to it, people. I shop a lot. A LOT. Maybe I should give up shopping for Lent. No, I'd probably suffer from lack of shopping or something. =) Let's see if the doctor can write up a prescription for that! I went to Urban Outfitters and bought this adorable dress to your left. How cute is this? I love it. It would look great with a black necklace & some black flats, right? Tell me what you think!! (The model is equally pretty too ^^)

What I'm wearing:

-green and blue polka-dot pajama pants (Aero)

-a light blue cami (Aero)

-fluffy green slippers (Walmart)

Aww, yeah!! This is like, the best outfit ever. LOL.
My mom is calling me for dinner. I smell shrimp...

Happy (I'm late as usual) MLK Day!!

Oops, I guess I'm a little late to be wishing everyone a happy Martin Luther King Day. =P I have a tendency to be late at everything. Who else has this problem?? Probably no one else, I'm guessing. Oh well. We had a fabulous 4 day weekend, and a not-so-fabulous 4 day weekday for school. It appears that all my history teacher can think about is pop quizzes and homework. Wait--isn't he the one who taught us the golden rule: Treat others the way you'd like to be treated? Yeah, I'm so sure that he'd want pop quizzes and loads of f-ing homework each night. That was sarcasm, by the way.

I went shopping (again) last week because we had Friday off (School Improvement Day or something...frankly, I didn't see any improvements when I came back on Tuesday). :] I have a slight (haha, yeah, right...more like MAJOR) addiction to shopping, it appears. I bought a pair of gorgeous red pants at Plato's Closet (and sold some old jeans there), this way too cute dress from Aeropostale (in Meridian Green-imagine that!), and a bubble tee with a scoop neck from American Eagle (in New Grey).

Aah, my cell phone is vibrating!! What kind of cell phones do you guys have? I wish I had something cool like a Sidekick or an enV or a Helio. Or even the iPhone or that new LG Voyager (dammit, I want that so bad!!). But I'm stuck with this crappy Nokia flip phone (okay, I admit, it's not crappy, it's pretty thin, and the connection, signal, and battery are great) that's black and no one's ever heard of it. I guess it's not that bad, but still...if you have something ultra cool (I guess the RAZR could fit my 'cool' description), talk to me. We can switch phones. :]

Ooo, I got a text message!! From...my...mom. How exciting.

I better respond.

school =P

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! we had to start school again yesterday!!!! Ugh, I'm so tired and sleepy & I watched MTV all night last night. Now my mom is making me wake up early because she doesn't want me to be almost late like yesterday. Whatever, MOM!!! I hate school. Who doesn't? Well, maybe hate is a strong word (hahahaha), but seriously, who actually enjoys going to school & being tormented by the ultra evil Mrs. Frecklier every day? Well, I don't have her in my classes every day, just on Thursdays I don't. Ohmygod, I live for Thursdays!!

Well, I went shopping (again). Barneys is the best, even though they're super duper expensive. I know, I sound like a shopaholic bitch, but that's me!! I bought this cute facial kit at Barney's, and that's it because I couldn't afford anything else. :) Then I went over to Sbarro and had lunch (btw, this was on Sunday). Mmm, I love Sbarro!! Then me & my sister went to Canal Street. I hate the faux bags, but there was this Chinese lady who lead us up stairs and into a secret room and we got Chanel & Coach bags. Ooo!!! They're pretty cool, & they look real too. Except the Coach. I didn't buy the Coach, Sierra did. :P I bought this turquoise crinkled Dolce & Gabanna.

Then we went to Neiman Marcus & Sierra got herself these cashmere pajama pants with polka dots all over it (they're kinda cute), and I bought a pair of kitten heels with this chandelier thing over the front (gorgeous!!). Then for the rest of the day we were in Central Park right behind the Met, eating hot dogs from the vendor, talking, and watching a bunch of cute boys play football.

Sounds way more fun than school, right?

guess whose staying over!

I know that I've been neglecting the whole celeb thing, but I will update tomorrow hopefully. Brendon, Emma, & their daughter Sophie slept over last night in the guest room! I love my niece; she is absolutely adorable. She got me one of those cool snow globes that light up on the inside!! I love it. Of course, we got her the High School Musical 2 DVD. :) She loved it. What can I say? LOL.

Everyone's just beginning to wake up. Yawn. I went shopping yesterday with Sierra and Emma. Here's what I bought:

Guess
-a red & orange printed dress
-a tight graphic tee
-a white v-neck sweater

Urban Outfitters
-a printed cami
-a long black cardigan
-2 pairs of jeans (both dark wash & skinny)
-a cute necklace with a clock on the end
-zebra print leggings

Neiman Marcus
-a cream blazer with a high collar & brown buttons
-a gray plush hoodie
-black open toe heels

That's it. I know. What an accomplishment. :) You should've seen Emma's shopping bags!! She practically bought the entire ladies' section at Guess. Except for what I bought, of course.

Well, that's it for today, I think.
