Spirited.



top & leggings - f21/deena & ozzy oxfords - urban outfitters/hand-me-down scarf & earrings

Today (well, yesterday now) was probably the best out of my whole week. First of all, it was a dress down day; I hate the dress code so it was a nice break. It was held in honor to 1. get more tissues because apparently the school is running out & 2. to rile everyone up for the inter-grade basketball competition...yes, instead of pep rallies, we have dress down days. 

Anyway, the "Spring Ballin" competition was supposed to be seniors + sophomores vs. juniors + freshman, but because only a few juniors showed up it ended up being the seniors vs. everyone else. We had a 20+ point lead against the underclassmen, which was great but we got rocked by the faculty. It was pretty embarrassing but a ton of fun. It was just really nice to see how well the seniors could get along. 

Sorry the pictures aren't too fantabulous, my brother & photographer, Nigel is sick...I didn't want to have to bother him unless it was absolutely necessary. 

Also, a quick college update: I've been accepted to University of Pittsburgh, Drew University, UMass Amherst, Emory University, and Fordham University. As of right now, I'm 5 for 5 and waiting to hear back from Columbia, UPenn, and Harvard. Ugh, it's so nice to know that this long, pain-staking college journey is almost at it's end and that I have plenty of options.

Spring Break Mini-Haul.

 Yes, yes, I know. I'm lame and I haven't posted in a million years. In my defense, second semester senior-dom isn't as worry-free as I first presumed it would be. Yes, homework has died down quite a bit but I've had a plethora of extracurriculars to handle. Now that I'm done with most of my major activities and about to head back to school after a wonderful two weeks of spring break, expect more posts. I promise, promise, promise that I'll do my best to post regularly; let's try for 3 times a week. Sound fair?

Anyway, thought you readers would like to see some of my Spring Break finds:

 dress & jewelry - forever 21/wallet & belt - urban outfitters

 I've already started wearing the jewelry/belt and using the wallet but saving the dress for one of the end of the many end of the year ceremonies. It looks surprisingly spectacular with a pair of platform pumps...trust me, I tried it out. 

I bought another dress & a shirt as well...I don't have any decent pictures of them at the moment, but I'm likely to wear them this week so you'll all see soon.

Nine West via Marshalls

These babies are the shoes I plan to wear for Prom this year. I bought them for such an amazing deal, only $29! I've never built an outfit around shoes before but as soon as I saw them I felt it was necessary. I've already bought my dress, but I'm waiting for another to come back; the one I originally ordered was too big.

Expanding the Collection.


Target Combat Boots, Deena & Ozzy (Urban Outfitters) Sparkly Oxfords

New additions to my shoe collection. As of now, I've gotten seven new pairs of shoes since Christmas. Almost every single pair was bought on sale. Life is grand.
