Bring It, 2013.

These are some of my favorite images from my pinterest.

2012 was really something. It included my senior year (or as I like to call it, 'the beginning of the end') and countless memories, laughs and good times with friends. 2012 wasn't the easiest year or the best year for me, but dang, it's been quite the adventure. 

I'm excited for 2013 and all the new adventures, experiences, lessons, relationships  and friends that will come with it. College, graduation, turning 18- it's all going to happen in 2013, and I can't wait. 

Happy New Year, everyone. 

Featured Again!

When I'm "cleaning my room".

I was "cleaning my room" and I ended up with a cloud-themed  mood board. If you don't know what a mood board is, here's a good example.

... And here's mine. ( sorry, I think my camera lens was a bit dirty)

I had fun making it. I don't know why I was thinking of clouds so much. That pouf-skirted Erin Featherson dress really inspired me, and it all just took off from there. It has ribbons, magazine cut outs, notes, quotes, book pages and a tall straw hat. Sounds perfect, no? The Balenciaga pice is from an Agatha Christine book, and the notes are my notes that I wrote in my copy of The Teen Vogue Handbook.

Dear Miss Hilton,

Must you constantly make my eyes hurt with your ensembles? Sure Ungaro did hearts for spring,

but it doesn't mean you should  to wear them! Too much miss hilton, too much. Please stop trying so hard. Less is more.

Outside Dior

BURBERRY!!! Fashion show was yesterday! It was pretty amazing. Allot of the people watching were from Tokyo and The Phillipines and they stayed up until midnight to watch..

I took some pics of the show while I was watching, but I thought I would spare you all from my wonderful *cough* photography skills.

I totally fell in love with this coat!

Just a quick quote from Kate...

“John [Galliano] would stand on the runway and tell you a story about who you were. He’d say, ‘You’re a princess and you’ve just escaped from the castle and you’re running away from the wolves,’ and the wolves would be howling on the soundtrack, and he’d send you out, and he’d cry, ‘Run, Kate, Run!’” –Kate Moss when Grazia asked for her favorite fashion moment.

I absolutely love those quotes. I remember watching Conan's last show. I think I actually started crying. Not because he was leaving, but because of his amazing attitude. He wasn't mad and he wasn't bitter. I love that. 

The last quote is the very last paragraph is the last paragraph in the Declaration of Independence. It gives me chills every time I read it. We went  over this in class. I don't think I had heard it before then, and it really stuck with me. I especially like the last sentence. That's the part that really gets me. that people are so dedicated to what they believe in. It seems like that's so rare today.

Those quotes really make me want to work harder at everything. I love them.
