Merry Christmas!

From Cat Von D & myself!

"They couldn't think of something to say the day you burst.."

So I watched the Woodie Awards the other night, and then proceeded to find the next showing of the awards and record them.

Woodies = my fav awards show. I totally want to go one day. Maybe next year!

I've been like, planning out everything I want to try and do in New York. As if I won't have enough time..but then again I guess you never know.

Live every day like it's your last, right?

Speaking of which, I am still not over the fact that Brittany Murphy passed away. She was so young! Not to mention talented and beautiful.

I hate when things like that happen, so tragic. =[

Anyway though, tons of people did last-minute shoppin' today, and I was among them. I got a few gifts for my dad and whatnot.

This will be my first Christmas at home in I don't know how long; usually we go to Houston with relatives.

Here was my outfit (in gross webcam quality):

Handmade blue bow,

the beautiful ones t-shirt from Urban Outfitters,

Forever 21 cardigan which was a gift because it is what I purchased with a gift card,

best friend necklace from Claire's that I received as a gift from, well, my best friend,

Silence & Noise liquid leggings [that I wear quite a bit outside of school because they aren't in dress code,]

vintage rings,

and I can't remember which shoes.

& a close-up of the shirt, because I think it's rather pretty:

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas, enjoy your presents, and stay safe!

So much great news!

It's overwhelming!



1) I have been accepted into Parsons the New School for Design in New York, for the BFA in Fashion Design program!
Best Christmas present I could've ever asked for. Ever. Ever.

2) I went to see Lil Wayne last night. Wow it was soo incredible, jeez he's amazing.

3) I can't remember anything more because those two things are consuming my mind. But it's been such a great day/weekend. I can't even believe it.


I'll post more shtuff later, gah I'm just imagining how much better this blog might be once I'm in the "concrete jungle where dreams are made of."


AHH!

Today held a heartbreaking loss for television.

It's On With Alexa Chung is over forever!
No joke, I look forward to watching that show every day when I come home from school because I record it on our DVR. I am so very sad; Alexa, please change your mind!

Anywho, anyone see this article today? Hmph, that's a bit depressing as well. Twiggy is so naturally beautiful.
Photoshop can work wonders but it's terrible to alter someone's image significantly, simply for profit. We all know this isn't the first time something like this has happened, though. Sigh.


But enough with the downers! So sorry.
The weather is cold here and I am enjoying every bit of it. Well, we could do without the gross rain we've been having, but seeing your breath in the air is so delightful. (In Corpus Christi, it's summer almost all year round, so winter is pretty awesome.)
Oh yeah, the rain is the reason why I didn't post my outfit yesterday. I came home soaked! My feet were little iceblocks with red nail polish.


So today I broke out my rainboots! Hip hip hooray, I love them so.
This was my school outfit:

Kimchi & Blue shirt,
my anonymous tan belt that proves to be a winner in the versatility category,
vintage rings,
BDG corduroy pants,
and my much-adored Sperry rainboots.


After school, I had to run home and watch Alexa Chung (this was when I found out the news =[) and then get ready for our band concert.
Yeah..I'm in band. I play the flute. xD
So I threw on a more dressy outfit, but kept that darn belt on, gotta love it!


American Apparel v-neck,
silver necklace from Dustee's, local boutique,
the belt,
vintage rings,
H&M skirt (another often-used item in my wardrobe),
tights (ditto),
and Carlos by Carlos Santana pumps.



I have to be off now, because I have to wake up at the crack of dawn to go make breakfast for teacher appreciation. On the bright side, it is a half day of school and then we are off for break! Yesss, about time.
=]

Goodnight lovelies, sweet dreams!

So I watched a part of the EMA's again today...

(European Music Awards) I watched Tokio Hotel's performance, which I had watched once before and it was so great!
But seriously, I know some people may not agree with me, but I think Bill Kaulitz, the singer, is just such a beautiful person. His appearance just fascinates me so much!
Look at this:

I may sound like a creep but I just think his face is the prettiest thing. His bone structure is perfection and his complexion's flawless; I don't know, I am just intrigued by this guy. Haha! Plus Tokio Hotel is a talented group.
So yeah, there's my weird little rant for today.

Here was my outfit for today, and the one I sat and watched this performance in while eating a delicious veggie burger:

Jeweled headband from Free People,
dad's shirt,
vintage bracelet & rings, and one ring that my best guy friend Derek bought for me in Rome,
BDG jeans,
vintage pearl necklace worn as chain,
Sam Edelman Zoe boots.




Oh and so this Friday is our last day of school 'til Christmas break, and I am SO behind on gifts. I always end up this way, I swear. I have a bunch of Secret Santa gifts I still need to get/create, plus everyone else's. Ugh.
And oh yeah, I kinda wish I could fast forward to 2010 really quick and then come back, just so I can see if I will be accepted into Parsons. I am dying of anticipation. Dying!

Keeping my fingers crossed every day, farewell 'til tomorrow.

"Don't narwhals have that thing on top of their heads?" "Yeah, their Nar!"

So even though you can't really tell at all what anything is, this was my outfit today:

Self-made leopard print bow,
Lux brownish coloured cardigan,
forest green American Apparel v-neck,
vintage ring,
black skirt from H&M,
flats from Urban Outfitters (which were, btw, HUGE on me. But it went with the whole "little girl who rummages through mommy/grandma's closet" look, so I was generally content.)

Here's a closer-up of the bow:



And now for a small collage of a few things that are on my Christmas wishlist. Not sure if I'll be getting any of them, but making wishlists is just so fun.

Includes: Marc Jacobs post earrings,
Elizabeth & James wedges and shirt,
Mary-Kate & Ashley tee,
Who What Wear book,
Lola hard perfume ring,
Macbook Pro,
nail polishes (turquoise, mint, coral, and "Dark Room"),
faux fur vest,
Doc Martens,
T by Alexander Wang romper,
Lanvin round shades,
Free People shirt.


Oh and OKAY so. I was reading Urban Outfitters' blog, and found this awesome website!
It's called "What the Font" and you can "photograph any text from a magazine that you are fond of and it gives you the exact font style you're looking for. To download. For free."

Yeah, delightful, right? :D

"I'm off to eat a Krispy Kreme."

I realized after reading this article from Nylon that I have yet to pick a New Year's resolution, and I also have yet to reveal page 3 of my style spiral! (A few months later, right.)

My page 3 icon:

Peaches Geldof!


I love her attitude, and her articles for Nylon. (It's been my dream for like..at least 3 years now to one day work at Nylon magazine.)
She does florals so well, and I think that she's an overall lovely girl. I like that she isn't perfect, and that she's from the UK.
I will post my next style spiral page in the very near future. It's probably one of the most obvious icons in the spiral.


By the way, what's your New Year's resolution, everyone?

Muse: Diane Keaton as Annie Hall

I finally put photoshop onto this computer

(sidenote: Hopefully I'll be receiving a laptop for Christmas, so that will be way awesome, and make things way easier!)

and therefore I created this:

Yay for Annie Hall. I adore this movie, and watching it last night inspired me. It sometimes reminds me of my [amazing] English teacher, because this is one of her favourite movies as well, and we've discussed it before.

+ Woody Allen's just awesome.

& here are 2 recent looks that were semi-inspired by this muse:

Look 1:

Bow made by myself* (inspired by Marc by Marc Jacobs 2010 runway),

BDG plaid dress,

black tights from Wal-Mart or someplace,

vintage rings,

Steve Madden cognac coloured brogue shoes (one of my all-time fave pair of shoes.)

Look 2:

Black bow headband from Sally Beauty Supply,

blue vest from Urban Outfitters (brand escapes me right now),

Anne Klein dress,

vintage rings,

same tights & shoes as previous look.

And here is a look that I wore a long while back and found photos of. When I wore it, I reminded myself of Annie Hall slash Amelia Earhart.

Forever 21 scarf,

Urban Renewal plaid shirt.

That photo was taken in my Apparel class, 7th period (yes, I am one of the rare seniors that has a full schedule of 7 classes.) It's a fun class, albeit we don't do much of anything - let alone sew.

*I make bows constantly now, and decided it'll probably be what I do for Christmas presents this year.

If anyone is interested in me making some for them (I do a few different types and many, many sizes) let me know. I will probably start an Etsy account with one of my best girls, Courtney, and start selling them because we both make them by the boatload.

I love to dance and act like I'm five...while getting dressed!

Yayy for embarrassing myself! & never reaching Beth Ditto's level of amazing & cool!
But still, fun.
