KWANZAA!

Last night I went to this party that mi amigo Matt (see previous post of shopping) threw. The town I live in is predominantly white, and so in order to bring some culture into our lives, Matt throws a Kwanzaa party every year. All it really is is an excuse to hang out in his basement and eat exotic fruits. It was funnnnnnnnn ^_^ Here's what I wore:

Creds:

Cardigan: J. Crew

Dress: Madre

Stockings: Marshalls

Necklace: Vintage

Headband: Kohl's

So CHRISTMAS IS THIS WEEK EEEEEEEEEEE! I am very excited. Thursday I'mma be handing out cookies like nobody's business at school and my stepmom's family is visiting and MY DAD IS GETTING ME A XYLOPHONE and I am very very very very cheery. I may wear my elf hat every day this week. Maybe....
Ok, ttyl!

I think all of my clothes are either vintage or H&M...

It's totally true, bro!

Creds:

Skirt: H&M

Shirt: Gap

Tights: Marshalls

Shoes: DSW

Necklace: Vintage via stepmadre

Bracelet: is actually a necklace that belonged to my great-grandmother.

Headband: No idea...

Worn yesterday. Crappy day for photography.

Also a crappy day for walking to the movies... my friend Megann and I (see Muse post) decided it would be a good idea to walk the mile.5ish to the local Clearview after school to take advantage of Free Movie Tuesday and see Burlesque. The movie started at 2:20 and we get out at 2:04. Bad idea #1. Then, it was about -900003973252653714518518 degrees out. And windy. Windy in our faces the whole 15 minute walk there. We ended up making it to the theatre at 2:32. We still got to see the opening scene though because trailers love us.

Never doing that again.

Ever.

Have a nice day!

My life is sooooooo cool.

If you click on the photo (which will make it larger), you can see my epic electric blue eyeliner. I friggin love that stuff.

Creds:

just kiddinggggg I really got it all from H&M.

Worn on December 11, btw.

And now to end this with an awesome quote:

"Beyond a wholesome discipline,

be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe

no less than the trees and the stars;

you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,

no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should."

-Max Ehrmann, Desiderata

When I get bored I take pictures of random stuff

My room at my mom's is a tchotchke wonderland.

Blazer of glory!

I kind of look like a young professional in this outfit but I like it.

Yet another antique from the familia!

I took these at my mom's over the weekend. I wore this on the 10th.

I think I look good in this one:

YAAAAAAY NARCISSISM!

I'm feeling very French despite my lack of heritage of that nature. I just watched this awesome movie called Amelie and it's so good even though I had to read the subtitles the whole time.

GO WATCH IT NOW.

Adieu!
