I'm not really doing much today. Just dropping off my job application and going to Barnes & Nobles to pick up summer reading. The rest of the weekend should be much more eventful though. I have my first All State choir practice tomorrow and after that I'm going down to my friend Kim's shore house for the rest of the weekend. I can't wait!

And the Summer Begins.

Summer '09 has officially begun, and it just so happens to be off to a great start with my being extra busy this past weekend.

Friday:

My brother's eighth grade graduation. The whole ceremony was surreal to me; it's hard to believe that my baby brother and all of his peers will be joining me in high school in the fall. Not only are they growing older, but I am too; I'll be graduating high school in just two short years, and then heading off to college. Wow.

My Outfit:




black zip blazer: grandma
cream ruffle tank: target
black belt: forever 21
black & blue bandage skirt: h&m
black patent sandals: target
wayfarer-style sunglasses: wet seal

I never got a picture of my brother's outfit, but he looked "pretty spiffy" as my mom described. He wore: a navy blue blazer with bronze buttons, white & blue striped button down, red&white&lightblue striped tie, and khaki pants. Very preppy, and very Nigel (that's his name).
Saturday:

No outfit picture, but my day was definitely interesting. My mother and I went along with my brother to a graduation party thrown by my bestie Emily's younger sister. It was a lot of fun, and the food her mother made was basically amazing. Oh, and I met John Corzine (the governor of my 'wonderful' state - NJ); it just so happens that Emily's father is an assemblyman for the state and friends with the governor as well. He was surprisingly nice, and very sincere, and as he was leaving kissed my mother on the face. Yeah, I know. When he was good and gone I LOL'd soo hard, I almost cried.

Sunday:

My uncle came up to NYC from Charlottesville to visit my grandparents for his birthday so my mother, my brother and I drove out there for a late lunch/early dinner. We originally planned to go to Hudson River Cafe, but the the kitchen was closed to begin their dinner preparations. Instead, we walked down the street to this Italian place called Cova, and I'm glad we did. The food was fantastic, and the people were nice. Well, besides a few prissy teenage hostesses, but hey what can you do.

My Outfit:



black zip blazer: grandma
purple strapless bubble hem dress: forever 21
gold heart necklace: forever 21
bangles: all over the place
colored bauble ring: some museum
black patent sandals: target
flat-top sunglasses: wetseal

Today, I did a whole lot of nothing which included reading various blogs and rummaging through my clothes, ultimately finding a coral pink strapless terrycloth romper that I'm currently wearing. Wow, was that a ridiculous run-on. The rest of the week should be pretty mellow, and then I'll be down the shore this weekend, WHOOHOO!

DONE!

Wow, it's been a while. I've been so caught up with schoolwork that I've barely any had time for anything else. As of now though, I'm finally finished; last thursday was my last day of classes and friday was honors convocation. I had exams Monday (Latin&Alg2), Tuesday (English2), and Wednesday (Modern European History) and they were all dress down days! But I'm almost certain that I'd wear these outfits on a regular school day.

Monday:

"the love makes peace" tee shirt: forever 21

printed scarf: mommy

black leggings: h&m

gold gladiators: urban outfitters

Tuesday:

black & white plaid button down

printed silk scarf (as a belt): mommy

denim leggings: target

black patent sandals: target

Wednesday:


grey v-neck: target

yellow printed scarf: mommy

black leggings: grandma

gold gladiators: urban outfitters

It's kind of crazy that I've already finished two years of high school and I only have two left. This summer will be fantastic though, I'll be working again, participating in Lead For Diversity, and doing a lot of partying. Oh, and of course I'll have summer reading for AP US History and AP Writing...that might take away from the fun but I'll get over it, I hope.

The Final Stretch.

Including exam week, I only have 29 school days until summer! I absolutley cannot wait and this is what I'll be wearing - well, when I'm not at work.






The sunglasses, jewelry, belt, skirts, shirts, and dresses are all from Forever 21; the shoes are from Payless and the shorts are from Hollister Co.

Day of Silence '09!

On Friday I participated in the Day of Silence for the second time. Such a fantastic day, even though I was only silent through half of first period. There's always next year though.

Also, this was the day of my friend Jacque's Sweet Sixteen. I was part of her cotillion, we performed the Waltz and Cha-Cha. The party was amazing, I had a great time, and we all looked fantastic. The only downside was that a handful of kids showed up drunk, but they didn't really take much away from the party. I'll make sure I'll post some pictures soon.

Pictures.

My friend Monica and I took these on the way to a lacrosse game last Tuesday. She has a Nikon D60 with an 18-200 mm lens; it's fanstastic! Hopefully, I'll be getting my own DSLR sometime soon.


I took.







She took.







Nice, right?

Spring Has Finally Sprung...Mostly.

I know, I know I haven't posted in a while, but I've been working hard these last two weeks in order to make my third quarter grades as bangin` as possible. Along with that I've been practicing to be in my friend Jacque's cotillion for her sweet sixteen AND practicing for the All State audition that I finally had today. Hopefully it's all worth it in the end.

Anyways, here's some outfits from this week.

Tuesday

royal blue dress: Forever 21

black & gold belt: Forever 21

black elephant necklace: Forever 21

gold gladiator sandals: Urban Outfitters

It was the first really nice day of spring! I got to leave school early for an away lacrosse game because I'm one of the managers. We lost, really badly to a team but at least it was nice outside. Thankfully we won the game the next day in the rain 16-6.

Thursday

black blazer: Target

black & white plaid shirt: Old Navy

yellow printed scarf: mother's closet

black leggings: grandmother's closet

black & grey flats: Payless

Yet another fantastic spring day, well except for the AP Bio, Algebra II, and Euro tests I had. It started out cold-ish and a little windy but by the end of the day, it was amazing. I spent the afternoon outside with one of my best friends and actually started my homework before I got home, it was pretty epic.

Ohmygoodness that All State audition. Overall, it was good but I pretty much sucked on the tonal memory and my choral director was one of the judges! I did better than I did last year on everything else though so hopefully I get in again. Later on I went to a dress fitting for the cotillion; thankfully it was fast - I got out of there and fell asleep as soon as I got home.

Hopefully this coming week will be easier easier, but I have a strong feeling it won't be. I have lacrosse games to go to, I'm working at an open house for school, and I have all this other work to do. Wish me luck though? I'll certainly be needing it.
