Fall '08 Collections and the Girl Who Could Pull Them Off.

Matthew Williamson's Fall Collection with Emilio Pucci was amazingly luscious! The juicy pops of all the colors, the insane pattern on the parka, and the snappy tights are undeniably cool.

Yulia, with her colorful style, totally suits these looks...

age: 19

Where do you shop? thrift shops mostly. Like 80 % of my clothes come from their. I also wear my mom's old stuff. And when it comes to stores/brands, I like Cropp Town for accesories, Tallie Weijhl for funky colors and Pink for.....everything.

What is fashion to you? It may sounds cliche but to me fashion is a way to express myself. And it's definitly some kind of addiction too.

What inspires you? My dad's old vinyl records.

School and house hunting

So, we went up to Granbury this weekend. I found THE coolest house. It's a one-story and 4 bedroom but it's pretty tight. It has a huge backyard, a ginormous garage where we're going to turn 1/3 of it into a play room, my room is great, I have a BIG closet and a BIG bathroom, plus I'm not that far from my family.

Today we went looking at schools. I really like Cornerstone Christian Academy. It doesn't look great on the outside but it's pretty cool on the inside. It has high education, you have a variety of uniforms you can wear, the people who work there are nice, and they have CHEERLEADING!!! I was so happy. I can't cheer this year because it's too late but try-outs are in May. The cool thing is they're getting into competitive and I have such a passion for competition cheerleading it will be great. GMS wasn't that bad I mean the workers were nice and the school was big but I'm more of prep than a public. Haha that doesn't make since.

I also check out Gym Kats. It's a small gym but it's decorated cool. I think I'll be pretty good because the coach was all excited that I had my backhandspring on the trampoline when I'm working on my HALF! Amatuers, JK! So Granbury doesn't sound that bad after all. Yes, I'll miss my friends but they can always come and visit!

Like a Rhinestone Cow(girl)boy

Do not be fooled. Despite that fact that I am or actually enslaved to fashion, I grew up in a land very far away from fashion civilization(although with help of a stylish mother,I learned to cope through thrift stores). As a child, I eagerly gathered eggs from the henhouse, went fishing, and played in fields. I can count baby chicks, a miniature horse, a lamb, and a pot belly pig as pets from my past. Rodeo grounds were a block from my school. Naturally, a small part of me has a charm for western clothes--and fashion. While I understand that cowboy boots had a peak of popularity when Sienna Miller started the fashion 'boho-chic'(what a hyphenate)spell,I have been having a yearning for my beat up black cowboy boots lately. Without them being in reach, I pursued a website called BootBarn.com, and discovered that standard cowboy boot's softer, girlier, side saddle riding cousin:The Roper Boot.

With a tapered toe and shorter style, these boots seem more flirty than farmhand--plus, this pair is red! The ones pictured above are Justin Brand, from bootbarn.com(yes, I am serious.) Lucky for me, there are western stores left and right for me to pursue my cowgirl dreams, sans shipping a regular prices. It makes me want to go frolic on the river bank! I imagine the crimson boot adding some thoughness to spring's swingy, high-hemmed floral numbers, or perhaps denim tucked down in them for a cool colored vibe!

my mother is a retard

Good bye by fabulous life. My mom is making me move to the town of doom. Here is a list of my comparisons of doomsville and allen.

• Allen-5 gazillion friends; doomvile-1
• allen-popular;doomsville-nerdy
• allen-good angelic students;doomsville-dumb bad drugusing losers of students
• allen-cheerleading;doomsville-nothing, nada, zip

That is my list. Which place would you rather live?

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

I love stars. I don't know what it is but I draw them on everything and fill up all my math pages with them, have thermal star printed pajamas, adore the undulating swirls in the painting Starry Night, was obsessed with drawing star gowns(a design I did during camp one year-a bodice with star cutouts and then a floor length chiffony bottom), and I even went by the nickname star for a year. So when I was browsing the detail photos on Style.com and kept seeing star designs on shoes and dresses I thought to my self "I so predicted this trend."

On Wednesday my school took a trip to New York City where we went to Hard Rock Hotel and saw Mary Poppins on Broadway. I loved seeing Mary Poppins because I remembered all the songs like Spoon Full of Sugar when I was little, and I thought the sets were so intricatly done. At the end the actress that played Mary Poppins flew right over are seats! On Thursday we went into the city again, this time to Lower East Side. Normally when I visit the city a stay overnight a few days and frequent BloomingDales, Barneys, amd H &M as well as my favorite store, ABC Home and carpet. Every time I enter that place it's like sensory overload, all the jeweled and sequined Indian pillows, the fake flowers that cover a whole wall near an elevator, all the gauzy fabrics and beautiful couches and chairs. Unfortanitly it's very expensive, a guidebook I read called it "the Boogdorfs of home furnishing." But I supposed I could live vigourously through my parents expenses.

Anyway this class trip we entered an area I'm not very familiar with, Chinatown and Little Italy. After eating at a dumpling restaurant my friends were sent with a guide to go on a "noshing tour" off the area, sampling kosher pickles, taffy, fried rose petals, chinese snacks, canoli's, italian cheese and more.

Thursay evening my school group got ready to leave but my mom picked me up in a taxi before the group and the took me to the hotel to meet up with my sister and my dad. We spent two days shopping, and eating at ABC home and Carpa's delicious restaurant. I bought a lovely vintage maxi dress, a very 40's red mini dress with pleats and fluttery sleeves, and some purple tights as mine ripped again! I hope you enjoyed the photos and blurbs of my week!

Depression

Hello.
So my mom and Randy got a divorce again! Big surprise. Oh well we'll live with out him. I hope you liked all the pictures in the last post. I put a lot of work getting it all together. So I have to tell you this really funny story!

So Jake went to Amsterdam with his family. The didn't know a lot about the culture and one thing they needed to know was that prostitutes in Amsterdam wore red pants. Atleast his grandma needed to know. She was wearing red sweats. So 60 men started following her.......and then they knew!

I hope you liked my story. Well tata. Oh I forgot depression. Ecccccckkkk I'm too lazy maybe another time!

whimsical inspiration

This post comes a day early but I won't have time to post in the morning 2/14/08 because I will be in NYC. I don't care if its halmark-ized, Valentine's Day is the best excuse to wear ludicrously girly outfits and eat lots of Lindt chocolate and candy hearts.

Alessandro De Aqua/Dior

The bouidor look was all over the runways although most notably at Jovovich Hawk, BCBG Max Azria, and Marc Jacobs. It's all about being undone with bra straps and even underwear showing. For real life interpretation let a lacy, ruffly slip peek out from under a dress and look for tops with a corset type shape.

Alexa Rossete Top, $29.50, Delia*s

Thanks to the modern Marie I've finally check out Eleni's Bakery. These adorable cookie sets are available for $59.

Oh by the way I read a very cute idea in Domino magazine, to grow a flower out of a perfume bottlewith a stopper. I don't have a picture but it looked so Parisian and chic.bas

when you look me in the eyes

So I'm back at Granbury again. My grandma is doing well. She looks great! Like she has a totally new hip and she's wearing all her make up and has her hair done and everything. I'm so surprised.I didn't expect her to be all like herself again.

I'm kinda sorta bored.It's been cloudy all day, a little rain but no severe weather. Sometimes I like it when it storms. Ecspecially at school, I don't know why though. I'm weird like that. So right now me, my grandma, and my little sister are watching Project Runway. My grandpa's making fun of all the gay guys. Haha, it's funny!!! Well I'm bored.

l'amour de la nudite

nudity is an arguable topic in today's society. many people frown upon it, but once it was considered beautiful. and it should be. theres nothing wrong with the human body. showing it in bare in such elegance can be gorgeous. its human anatomy. the way you were formed youself. The naturalness of it all attracts me. Its an art form. every curve, crevice and wrinkle. I don't understand how I could be so horrible. Everyone should understand the grace and beauty of being stark naked.

to understand this, I suggest you not shy away from nudity and yourself. It's not a bad thing. Its beautiful.

amour et sejous beau.

its over

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to end this blog. Too many people from my school have seen it and this may sound stupid but, i really just want to keep this part of myself private. And yes i know the internet is not the greatest place for privacy (so don't lecture), but i still enjoy blogging and getting to read the blogs of others.

so ive decided to start fresh. im making a new blog, with a different name but similair postings. only this time they won't be read by my family and friends. So if you'd like to find out the name/adress, just ask in a comment (sorry, this excludes Anonymouses-ecspecially the ones who seem to have a problem with me!) and I'll find a way to tell you.

Bye for now, blogging world....

Edit: I'm deleting all comments with email addresses, but I saved the addresses so I can email you when I make the blog! Thanks for all the loves guys! =)

Like I'll Never See You Again

So, hello all! I'm so excited about cheerleading try-outs. A little nervous but excited! I don't wanna jinx anything so I'm going to stop talking about it. I'm so happy Allie and Tyler broke up and Allie keeps on giving me dirty looks so that would be so awesome if Tyler liked me back or something and here's my dream on Valentines Day:
Tyler comes up to me and goes hey and i go hey and he goes you look really beautiful today. wow, thanks ill say and then he well go okay this may sound strange but im completly inlove with you and ive always wanted to be your boyfriend and my world would be complete with you! and ill go i really like you too and then well kiss and well go running off in the sunset holding hands. the end.....
okay back to reality. i know what your thinking but a girl can dream right??? well i guess ill be going!!!!!!!!

another tanget

My friends forced me to put my hair in a side part, which gives me bangs. I'm not sure if I like it or not, but a (normal!) boy asked me for my number on Friday so I think I might keep it that way for now. What do you think?

Sorry about the crap pictures, I'll try to take some better one's soon. And my facial expression-you can see my completly lovely gap in me teeth since it's before my braces..Ugh, I look so gross I should probably just wear my bangs down like this:

Cousin It much?

Colorado-HOMIES!

So I'm in Colorado visiting my dad right now. I'm having so much fun. It's too bad I'm only staying for a weekend. So since my birthday is in like 20 days I'm celebrating it early here and I got a black empire waist shirt, a black punkish t-shirt, a bracelet that says "angel" on it, a necklace that says "faith" on it, aeropostale jeans, a orange and brown tote, blue and green t-shirts, plaid shorts, cute underwear, a hannah montana doll, flipflops, two bead necklaces, a purple hair dry, two pairs of skinny jeans, two tank tops, a long sleeve red shirt, a really cute hippish top, dkny perfume, and a yellow empire waist top. So I pretty much scored!

We went up to the mountains to check out ski resorts and we saw this really cool one where we're going to take snowboarding lessons at. It's going to be fun. If you have any tips that would be helpful!

Dark Dressing

Ugh, this is turning out to be such a hectic week! I'm doing cheerleading or something cheerleading related every day, with two full day practices on the weekend. *dies*

I wore this outfit on Sunday. I was definitly influenced by the grungy, rock chick look of Alexander Wang's colletion-not the most original look by far, but one thats a pretty signifigant change from what I normally wear.

Its funny, though-I wear so many bright or clashing colors that all these black and gray seem rather odd to me. I guess I'm not cut out to be a Olsen twin (triplet?) after all. Darn?

Boo the medical world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boo the whole freaking entire medical world! I can't see my mom until Friday because of them. I don't even wanna talk to HER. The stupid hospital won't let CHILDREN SEE THEIR MOM'S. I'm freaking 13 years old. It's not like I'm gonna go to the hospital and touch everything. UGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm going to freaking sue them! HEAR ME OUT ANYONE WHO WORKS AT A HOSPITAL YOU MIGHT BE GETTING SUED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

time to visit the relatives

While checking my (overflowing) email, I found that TopShop kindly notified me about their Spring Lookbook. I decided to check it out and was quite impressed by their summaries of what they deemed their four central spring trends. Obviously, it was all information I had already heard, but I found it pretty enjoyable to see a trend forcast that didn't lump looks together under catagories like "Brights", or "Menswears", or (*shudder*) "Nautical." This is why Europeans are always so much better dressed.........................

But anyways, I decided to do a little experiment of my own and find the runway origins of each look. Being relativly new to the vast world of fashion, I still find the "trickle down" of the runway looks to be quite fascinating. So indulge (or ignore) as I present to you the spring/summer 08 trends, TopShop style:

Layouts.

Hey Yall,
So I've seen some people's blogs like Strawberry Milkshake and they had some really cool layouts that you can't get on here. So if any one knows how, please and thankyou!

Me plus Nick Jonas 4 eva!

Hey everyone,
So I went to a Jonas Brothers concert last weekend and I won a contest to hang out with Nick Jonas for the weekend. The first day we went hung out at Beverly Hills and he surprised me saying we were going to a movie premiere together. So I bought a dress and now there's going to be a picture of us together in OK Magazine on the red carpet. The next day we went 4 wheel riding it was awesome because Joe and Kevin were there too. Then are last day together we hung out at the beach just the two of us and he leaned over and kissed me! AWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHH! And now were going out.
