Summer, Where art thou?


Ughhhhhhh. So after receiving my midterm grades, I'm making a pact with myself:
I WILL GET STRAIGHT A'S THIS SEMESTER.
I know, good right?
Hey I wanna get into University of Toronto, so I have to pull out the big guns.

But mostly, the main idea that I've been obsessing about is SUMMER. Today in CT, we got unexpected snow showers throughout the day making it miserable for those who could live without the cold (this is where I raise my hand).
It's not that I absolutely detest snow, I just get excited about that stuff when it's Christmas and when I go snowboarding.
Pooh.

But I want summer: the beach, cute boys/flings, tanning in the warm sun, ice cream, skirts, shorts, etc, etc, etc.I can't wait! Anything you lovelies are looking forward too?

Carpe Diem,

N I N E














Just one word:
G E N I U S.

Rob Marshall's new on screen thespian feast, NINE, is getting remarkable praise for a reason.
My mom and I spent a lovely Saturday evening watching this last night, and went gaga over the costumes, dancing, singing, colors, story, acting, EVERYTHING.

I loved seeing Daniel Day-Lewis act, so talented, and my mom and I have had a crush on him since we saw him running throughout the forests in Last of the Mohicans.
His Italian accent is to die for!

The ladies did excellent as well, especially Kate Hudson and Penelope Cruz, my two favorites!
Gotta go see this!


Off to make eggs and homemade waffles.

Dreaming of Springtime:
Flowers, Kisses, Warm Breezes, and the Blazing Sunshine.

Week's been going OK, but next week's gonna SUCK due to Midterm exams.
Why is it that when things are going great, a great big force tries and push it
down?

Love,

Experiencing surrealism in this moment with the fact that I'm already half way done with my junior year of high school.
Time Travels.
Off to New beginnings.
And done with stupid bitches.
How about you girlies?
Ready to brush off baggage and ready for something new?
Love

SHOEGASM.

So today was the first day back in the daily grind, and I must say, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be: my teachers were lovely, many assignments/tests have been pushed, and I didn't fall asleep in 1st period.

With earl grey tea simmering next to me, and my warm sweats on, this has to be the best Monday the history of, well, ever.


Now, I shall indulge.

Off to do productive work. Hopefully I won't stray to Asos.com or ShopBop.com.

1 Year Anniversary

Hello Lovely Readers,
It's been a year since I created this little blog and I have to say: it's a little frightening that I only have 50 or so posts that I've written this whole year.
MAJOR NOTE: More posts. Simple, to the point, and this could be construed as the blog's first new year's resolution.

So in the world of me and life, I've certainly decided to become more fearless: in my non existent love life, school, academy, and sense of self.

In other news, this whole fall and winter seasons were spent taking little trips to NYC as much as I could, drinking pumpkin spice lattes, killing myself over my AP classes...blahblahblah...

Now on to the good stuff:
1. Lying in bed during vacation, while munching on truffles and watching old episodes of The City, I am proud to say that I've rekindled my adoration over Whitney Port and Erin Lucas. They're just absolutely stunning on the outside with their killer style, as well as on the inside, which I deeply admire. So basically they're what I aspire to be once I make a humble abode in the West Village.



2. I am IN LOVE! With mixing kind of New England-esque essentials with more trendy and hipster pieces, either to go shopping or a night on the town.

Chanel 2.55 Flap Bag

A&F Brieann Classic Shirt
Current/Elliot The Legging Jeans
3. Penn Badgley in VMAN September issue: I love this photo of him, he just exudes the dark and handsome mysteriousness that makes me weak in the knees. I smell new male obsession.


4. Statement Shoes: Sky high heels for nights...or maybe even during day. Daring, No?
Rock & Republic Celina Pump

5. Madewell: A heavenly beacon to my perfect style. Now how do we, due to the alarming prices of my must have fashion finds, make a little wiggle room in the wallet to afford the store's eye candy?


Feeling the drowsiness right about now, and good to be back in the beloved blogosphere.
