i am always conflicted about my hair, but i have finally decided what i want to do with it. i think :)

So, I would like to grow it long... extentions are possible in the near future, and get bangs like this again (: i think that this would be nice, and a little bit of a change. and i want to get light pink and blue streaks that just fade out, like i had before aswell (:

A visit to an old friend named Carmen

About five days ago I went to my friend Carmen's house. Her friends April and Emmalys were also there (they are friends of mine too). Carmen and April went to school with me from grade one until five. We have recently connected through mutual friends, and I am so joyful to have them back in my life. While at her house we all played a game of angel cards. They are pretty much like taro cards in that fortune telling way, although there are no bad cards in the deck. Only brilliant and positive ones. After we drank hot apple cider that Carmen's mother made, while playing a game of True Colours. We then moved over to the couch and curled up in blankets and painted our nails while watching Moulin Rouge.  The next day Emmalys went out to an appointment and April went to lunch with her boyfriend. This left Carmen and I in utter bore, but we got around it as I introduced Carmen to the world of dailyboothing. Below are our pictures from our day together, clearing showing how bored we were...  

Here we were pretending that we were naked by wiggling the staps of our shirts out of sight.


Here, I almost died because I was so bored, but then an idea sparked in my mind! Lets take pictures with sugar all over our lips! Haha. What a brilliant idea that was. I pretty much just look like i have utterly chapped lips. 


Here i am after loading on the makeup for my attempt at getting a cool shot of my eye. Note: This is difficult with webcam!

All glam-ed up and ready to shoot our last minute music video with an hour left until my dad would come to retrieve me! We used the song "Bitch" by the Plasicines. .. I hope I spelt that right. And below is a picture from earlier in the morning when we made pancakes. yum!

I am all over the inter-web. so stalk me if you please.

GG Style- Serenas dress in "Rufus Getting Married"

This dress was amazing, but there was a god awful slit on the left side of the dress in the photo. But the wind in covering it here. Anyway, it was terrible !! It completly ruined the dress, BUT atleast you cant see it here!: ) i love the textures and colour palette of this dress. Beautiful!
I am thinking about attempting to make something inspired by this..
Enjoy!

who wore it better ? :)

Haha! Blake Lively (Serena of Gossip Girl) seem to have an all too similar blazer! I just got this one, vintage, as is hers, at a thrift shop at my school! for free! Its a really cool thing my school does. Anyway, now I realize that its really similar to the one that Serena wore on the first episode of Season 3 ! <3 So.. who wore it better, folks !?

Party In The Bra?

I must admit that I am really digging this song, and the video is pretty good. accept for the fact that mileys bra was totally showing the entire video! it was really .. bad. she is sixteen. i am actually two weeks older than her or something, and i would not do this at this age! and where was her dad.. in the corner cheering her on like always? how can he really agree to that!?
on another note, i was able to finally watch gossip girl and the vampire diaries! it comes on friday nights back to back on much music! so my problem is solved:)

The Ultimate Dilemma


So, right now I am at my Dad's house.. and he just has plain old cable tv. This is an issue because every Monday night I watch Gossip Girl, Wednesday is The Beautiful Life, and Thursday, the most important of all, The Vampire Diaries. So the dilemma of the matter is that he does not have the CW channel. The channel of life!! So.. right about now i should be watching Gossip Girl, but rather I am here pouting. I do not know what I am going to do!! I will stop watching The Beautiful Life, if I must, but how in the heck will I find a way to watch Gossip Gilr!? I cant find season 3 anywhere online!! I have looked everywhere online and its so difficult to locate a site that will have the shows newest episodes. I did however find a site that had The Vampire Diaries.

This is the link: http://www.surfthechannel.com/show/77442.html

Until I find a way to watch GG though... you will find me here. Pouting.

TELL ME A BIT ABOUT YOURSELF.

I am nineteen, awkward, and living life behind my camera. I aspire to be a fashion photographer one day and currently entering my second year at the Savannah College of Art and Design, where I hope to make that dream a reality. I live in a small city called Lubbock. It's in Texas. (side note: I do not ride a horse to school)


WHAT DOES 'STYLE' MEAN TO YOU?

Style is all about expression. It's another form of art and I love that it can vary so much. It intrigues me how different changing little things about an outfit can change the mood or idea so much. It especially interests me in terms of photography. I love narrative style photography, and the extra element of fashion really allows you to create a wide array of characters.


HOW DID YOUR INTEREST IN PHOTOGRAPHY FIRST START ? OR WHY?

Photography was interesting to me growing up, but more so just the aspect of playing with cameras and not really being serious about settting up images. When I was 16 I started getting really into it and begging my friends to model for me. Luckily I got enough people to agree to pose for me that I got some experience. Then I started doing more self-portrait work as it's often easier to achieve the poses I want since I always know exactly what I have in mind.


WHERE DO YOU GAIN YOUR STYLE INSPIRATION?

Vintage photographs and clothing, Southwestern art and culture, fashion photography, Thrift stores, and the great people on lookbook. Thrifting really gives me the most ideas, though. I love walking into stores full of old things and trying to figure out how to make them work.


WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING IN YOUR CLOSET?

that's quite a hard thing to pick! the dress and boots in this look would probably win, t hough. http://lookbook.nu/look/184157-bat-your-lashes I mostly just love that the dress was mine when I was little and now it makes a cute short dress, and the boots were incredibly cheap at a thrift store. I don't think I'll ever find a pair I'm more fond of.


WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE BOOK? MAGAZINE?

I love the book "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close". I haven't gotten to finish it because everytime I start it up, I get super busy. My favorite magazine would have to be Nylon or any of the Vogues.


WHAT IS YOUR GUILTY PLEASURE?

drinking cup of tea after cup of tea after cup of tea.


DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY.

I would wake up at noon, go eat some delicious pizza at this pizzeria in my town, then head off to do some thrift store shopping. After finding baskets full of discount vintage wear, I would head home. I'd sort through the clothes and put some new outfits together. Then I'd eat with my mother one of the del icious vegetarian meals she makes. Once the sun starts setting and getting glowy and warm, I'd head to the park where I do most of my photographing and take some photographs with the new outfits. Then I'd make some Chai and head to the park where I would meet up with my friends to sit under the stars and talk for hours.(Fortunately, this is how I spent much of my summer vacation)

Taylor Momsen: Style Icon, Rock Star, & Actress!? This girl has got it all!


Taylor Momsen is out with her own band, The Pretty Reckless. Suprisingly, for most, it is not pop. But rock. And she sounds fantastic. This girl is also no 'Actress turned singer'. Nope, she has been singing since she was a wee little one, and now she finally has a record (to be released sometime this month) Take a listen to some of the song demos that have been released on the bands myspace page. You will be addicted after the first listen. This is one album i will be running out to grab this fall. Also, one of their songs does not look to be on their page, but you can find it on youtube. You gotta check this one out. Its called Blender, and its sooo good! Enjoy! :)

TELL ME A BIT ABOUT YOURSELF.
I am sixteen years old, and am growing up in hawaii. I love fashion, lookbook, and shopping. That's pretty much what my life revolves around, one day I hope to go into fashion, maybe working at a magazine and modeling as a hobby but for now im just a girl in high school.

WHAT DOES 'STYLE' MEAN TO YOU?
Ah, this is the most difficult question! I suppose it means how you want other to percieve you, without uttering a single world how others will judge you. And style doesn't only have to nessesarily be clothes, its everything from accessories, to your car, to how you walk, and act.
WHERE DO YOU GAIN YOUR STYLE INSPIRATION?
Ah, their are so many people! It would be so many style icons from Taylor Momson to Rachel Bilson to my best friend's jasmyn and tasia.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING IN YOUR CLOSET?
Probably as of now my new black tights, since they can go with anything and instantly make any outfit look a little bit more fashionable.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE BOOK? MAGAZINE?
Ah, thats a hard one! My favorite book would have to be shadows, i just read it today, and it's a told must read! i read it for five hours straight ! And as for magazine it would definitely be Glamour !
DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY.
It would start being woken up (in newyork) waking up early, and going to a little cafe for breakfast, then do a ton of shopping with my closest friends, we would go everywhere from the little boutique's to the main strip to china town, and after an exhausting day of shopping, my perfect day would be during fashion week, and we would go to fashion shows at night, dinner would be appatizers, and then go clubbing after. what a day that would be...
WHAT IS IN YOUR PURSE?
Ah, all my essentials! In fact, ill spill it all out right now; First is a huge pack of mint gum, and winter fresh tic tac's, my make-up case; which involves Mac black eyeliner, Maybelline mascara, Stilla Lipgloss, Lip stain, green roll on eye shadow, and Burtsbee's chapstick. oh and of course my wallet, and last but not least at least three pairs of sunglasses (my obsession).

IF YOU COULD RAID ANYONES CLOSET, WHOSE WOULD IT BE?
Ahhh, this is impossible! their's so many people!! as much as i would love to say a celebrity I really dont know what their closets are like so I would have to say my friend tasia, she has a whole closet just for her 30+ pairs of shoes, she has 2 closets and four suit cases for clothes, and has baskets full of belts, and tiffany boxes full of jewlery!

Dear Old Polyvore, I Miss You

scuba diving in greece.


i once stumbled upon a magical site called polyvore. i used it all the time, and it was amazing, it let me freely express myself so well. but since then, i have found so many other terrific sites that allow me to express my creativity such as blogger, lookbook, flickr.. I have really, not purposly, let go of my old best friend, polyvore. i may pick it up again, once my life settles down, but, until then, i like to admire my sets that i have made in the past. the one feautured above is a set that i made for a polyvore role play. i was in a few of those, and they were a blast. it is titled scuba diving in greece, because that was a required set activity in the role play. hope you enjoy :)

TELL ME A BIT ABOUT YOURSELF.
Well I'm 15 (though I feel older) and I live in the capital of Estonia, Tallinn. I have also lived in Sweden for 5 years of my life and still visit it often, because my sister lives there. Being a straight A student, comes with a good-girl image that I have embraced to some level, but I love dolling up: putting on make up, doing my hair, choosing an outfit and accessories.

WHAT DOES 'STYLE' MEAN TO YOU?
I've always admired people who can answer this 'style' question, because I honestly have no idea. Even the dictionary gives me 15 different definitions! In the sense of fashion, I presume it means that you think about what to wear, which fabrics/colours to mix and take time to choose an outfit.

WHERE DO YOU GAIN YOUR STYLE INSPIRATION?
From my own imaginative head mostly, but my sister, fashion blogs, an occasional foreign magazine and LB help a lot!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING IN YOUR CLOSET?
It always changes, because I'm bound to love the newest things the most, but right now: the beige sweater that I'm wearing on my look Can Think.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE BOOK? MAGAZINE?
My favourite book... there are so many! But I adored Jane Eyre, because I read it in Estonian and was really well translated unlike most books. And I have to mention Lolita, because it was so gripping. I don't read a lot of magazines, but I've stumbled upon the Italian Vogue a few times and I found it very inspirational.

DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY
A warm, but not hot day in May when I can sleep in and have time to watch Golden Girls while getting ready to go out. Then meeting a good friend at a cafe in the afternoon to talk about everything and anything. Maybe later, we would meet up with a few more friends so our small group could go for a walk(I'm very social, so my perfect day would have to include many other people), I love walking around 6-10 pm. And then getting home, checking the LB forum and some looks, watching some TV and eating chocolate cake. Before going to sleep, I would wash some clothes by hand, I find it very relaxing to do at 2-3 am. And then off to sleep.
