Exams

DUM DUM DUUUMMMM....

Its that time of year again! EXAMS! So I have taken it upon myself ( as a senior) to not study for them! I seriously dont like studying and I am really having trouble focusing now that the senioritis has fully kicked in. But now that I look back on my  previous posts I realized that I have already promised myself that I would study more... So I am caught in a certain situation. Go to the library and be good and study then go to the gym? or just go to the gym?

ANYWAY

So today I was in math, not paying attention, and I spotted a girl in my class with a really really cute outfit. Since we will most likely be going to different schools next year I think it would be ok to try and mimic her outfit exactly to take to college. Here is what she was wearing.

 It is very winter-preppy and I absolutely love it! I have just sold some of my old lilly dresses on ebay and now I have some extra money to spend...I think I might just have to invest in this outfit. Anyway, I have decided that I will study and be good so that I can have a good start in college. Also it will help my parents feel better. If only I knew where i was going next year....



Peace and Love,

SNOW

Today I am sitting in tech (as usual) and I look out the window and see SNOW!!

Although it may not stick and its not coming down fast its the most the DC area has seen this winter. Plus it wasnt even supposed to snow today we only heard about rain. It has been a super mild winter this year and it is about time for some snow. I tried snapping a picture with my phone but it didnt turn out well so I found a puctures that looks sorta like what im seeing (minus the already sticking snow...

AHHHHHHH!!

So this snow has inspired some snow related fashion which I have not been able to use yet this year....

HATS

I think hats look fantastic in the winter and I love them when it snows! I have a ralph lauren hat like this one and its really cute on and looks great in the snow. I know there is a trend (sort of) of these animal type hats with the pom pom strings. And on the right people they look really cute but I dont think I can rock them..

BOOTS

These are Tory Burch and I absolutely love them. They are Tory's version of the duck boot and I love the fur. Plus they work perfectly in the snow because the bottoms have good grip and are rubber. I really hope that my parents will get these for me for my birthday...

JACKETS

This is almost exactly like the ski jacket I use. Its spyder brand and is super durable. It has lasted me forever and is really well made. I love skiing and snowboarding and I havent been yet this year (thanks mild winter) The slopes around here only have been open for 2 weeks but I am planning a trip to go snowboarding at the end of exams (so next week!)

MORE GEAR

Ok so these are really intense and they have cuter ones but since I have black snow pants and the red and white ski jacket I think these would look really cool with the outfit. These are also spyder brand (they make great stuff) and this is all getting me really excited to go snowboarding!

So by the time it took me to write this whole post it has already stopped snowing outside my window. The forecast for the rest of the day is rain (maybe ICE?!?!) and the temperature is lingering around 40 degrees (UGH) I really hope it will snow some more. I could always use a snow day for studying for exams which start on friday!

As Always,

Peace and Love

Winter Style

So I am sitting here in tech...as usual....with nothing to do..so I am going to post some of the things that I want before I go to college

Monogram Necklace

I think these are really really cute and I would love to have one I think in silver but I am not sure yet. I have seen these around and I think they look really pretty..particularlty the cursive ones.

Duck Boots

I love these boots and I use my moms pair all the time. Although I am definently going down south for college, I still love these boots! Great for any weather...even though this year DC is getting very little snow and has been very mild.

Southern Marsh Longsleeve

I love the color of this shirt (I know I have been saying love a lot) but I really do! Southern Marsh has some really cute shirts (both longsleeve and short) They come in comfort colors too which I really like. Some are more simple but I think "authentic southern class" fits me the best!

New Vest

This one is from jcrew and I really like that it is quilted. I also love the color navy I think that overall its a great looking vest. I have one from old navy that is grey but I would rather have this.



Now these are more like my winter wants but since I am looking at schools down south (clemson and TCU) I have a whole other list dedicated to what I want this summer. That will have to be another post however since its a little early. I really want this week to be over since I have exams starting next week and then I am an official SECOND SEMESTER SENIOR! YAYY! Hope everyone is having a great week!

Peace and Love

New Years Resolutions

So I completely forgot to post about this and I believe it is a good idea because seeing the post will hopefully help me fulfill these goals...

In no particular order...

*)GET INTO SHAPE: I havent really been slacking on this but I need to step it up. My gym is really nice and I do like to work out. I really like Zumba and Kick boxing which are both offered classes at my gym.
I know its kind of a common resolution but I really do plan to stick it out...

*) STAY STUDYING!!: that senior slump which is all too common has really hit me hard. I dont know where I will be going next year but my grades have already started to slip (oops) I have recently started going to the library after school because my house is too distracting and it really helps! Plus I think its good preparation for college next year. I really need to keep this resolution.

*) BLOG MORE? I really do like blogging and I think it helps me keep organized (another resolution) Plus I think its helpful in that with writing more (in theory) your writing should improve.

*) STAY ORGANIZED not just in my school work (and my room) I need to keep my style and clothes organized. I love getting style ideas off the internet and I need to purge my closet from all the clothes from the middle school days (YIKES) I think this will also help me get prepared for college and simplify my wardrobe.

(I wish my desk could look this good!)

TO be continued...

Back to School

Winter break was so nice! I had a blast in California with my cousins! If you are ever near thousand oaks CA I highly recommend a visit to the Camarillo (I think that's the name) outlets. They have a Tory Burch outlet store there and I got bathing suits for 20$!!!! They also have a great Kate spade store and northface and Jcrew as well. All and all successful!


My family is amazing and I love love love spending time with them. My family in California is wonderful and my family in Texas and South Carolina came too! We had an absolute blast!


Some noteworthy places were

1) Santa Barbara Zoo: steps away from the ocean and mountains it has really cool animals and really cool views. I got a new camera for christmas and had a blast taking pictures there!

2) Warner Brothers VIP Tour: I got to sit on the friends couch...THE REAL ONE. It's a pretty long tour but you learn so much!

3) Whale Watching tour: I am a huge huge fan of Animal Planets Whale Wars. So getting to go on this trip was super fun! we saw a whole bunch of common dolphins 4 grey whales and a couple of reeso dolphins (sp?) it was a great time of year to go as the grey whales are migrating down to Mexico.


Hope the New Year brings everyone joy!

Peace and Love,

Christmas Season

So the Holidays are rapidly approaching...and what does that mean?..STRESS! Im sitting in first period (my russian class) and simply not doing work. If you can believe it my school stays open until the 23rd! I even have a physics quiz! Thankfully, we don't have exams until January and I am going to California for break. And of course, in my family, that means DISNEY!

But, before I can even think about it, I have to think about Saturday night! It is not only Christmas eve, but also the night of my churches annual Christmas Eve Pageant! Because I am a Senior (YAY) I get to have a special role in the service, and this year I am and angel!

I have to sing O Little Town of Bethlehem in front of 1000+ people. Super nervous! I have to survive this school week before anything though, and as I am still in first period, I think it will be a long two days...

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Nail Polish

So I have recently discovered a new type of nail polish (new to me at least.) First found in Nantucket this summer I know am in love with BUTTER.

the brand is 3-free which means that it is more natural and safer to use.  The names are super cute and all british themed (No more waity katie) ( wallace) They are more on the expensive side but totally worth the splurge. They last a while and the colors are great!
