Flying through Saturday

 Unbelievably, It's already halfway through the weekend and there is only so much time left to relax, and blow off work. So, Go outside. Go hang with some friends. Get some extra sleep. DO  SOMETHING! Don't take the weekend for granted. Yesterday, at the dentist's office I expected to only be there for about an hours. But of course, I spent 3 hours there. Laying back in a chair while 2 women operated on my mouth. I think that i can still hear the sound of that drill in my ear. And after going through that, I am using this weekend to the fullest.

 Its Saturday! Which means that it is the perfect time to sit back and relax with some friends. I called up my friends (Paula, Trina and Elizabeth) and we all headed down to Town Square to watch The Hunger Games and to shop. I even wore my "special" mall shirt with feathers, and loafers . The movie was really good. They left out some little details, but I was expecting it. And of course, the book is Always better than the book. As we were leaving the theater I heard some people saying that they didn't expect Rue or Cinna to be black, and the emotional connection wasn't as strong because of it. Firstly, in the book Rue is said to be "dark-skinned", and I don't know how that translates into anything else . And would the death of an innocent little girl be anymore emotional if she was a different race. Tears would be streaming down my cheeks either way.

You can't go anywhere without the loafers!

After shopping and finding excellent deals in the mall we piddled around playing in fountains and checking out the local batches of guys. A couple of feather fell of my shirt and we joked around that I was "shedding". Overall I had a great Saturday. I recently realized that I have been cooped up in my house doing nothing but sleeping and pulling, all-nighters. So, I am glad that I got out of the house for once.

Intoxicatingly Sweet

Florals and patterns have been ripping up the runway lately. Alberetta Fereretti, Proenza Schouler and Louis Vuitton have been putting florals on the stage this year. The brighter and more abstract, the better for spring and summer.

Today I decided to revisit the “pattern” trend with some bright and colorful florals. With pink, yellow, green, and purple my top today was definitely colorful. But with the weather that’s been happening I think that it was a nice touch in all of today’s dullness. 

 Despite the Mostly Sunny forecast today and only a 20% chance of rain, it still poured down. It wasn’t anything heavy, but it was still enough rain for me to know that it was there and enough to require an umbrella.Sometimes I would like a very clear and detailed weather forecast, instead of it may rain or it may not. But guess that I will just have to use my imagination. Looks like its time for Rain Boots!

Again as I passed my friend Trina's neighbors house, we saw the field of bluebonnets but today we noticed a blooming Magnolia tree. This beautiful tree with its intoxicatingly sweet smelling flowers has always been my favorite.

The Bliss of Blue Bonnets

Ello, Everybody. Today Is Wednesday.Which Means early dismissal right? NO. apparently I was stuck in school for an extra hours listening to my Spanish teacher drone on and on, because middle school kids were testing! I'm going to let bygones be bygones , but this really put a crack in my day! I am missing an extra hour of sleep! 

Today I decided to go with a 2012 trend : Bright colors and pastels. Since it is spring i didn't want to go for an sickly yellow or hot pink, so i decided on a nice teal.

My teal crisscross top was quite confusing today. The two straps that it is made up of can be quite tricky, and if you don't wrap them correctly, you can end up looking a hot mess.

Today, while walking home with my friend (and photographer) Trina , we were passing her neighbors house as usual. Except for today their lawn had sprung up about 4000 Bluebonnets, almost overnight. They were captivating and I knew that this would be my set. Suddenly her neighbor's house became the perfect place to take a picture. 

Please Feel Free to comment on anything. Good and Bad! Suggestions are Welcome.

Michelle Obama-Esque

Today, I wanted to bring the classy back to the trashy. After witnessing people who dress like educated prostitutes, I wanted to put a spin on things. I guess that today’s look was a sort of homage to Michelle Obama and her ladylike ways. I dressed in black and white and completed the look with my black penny loafers and black and white scarf. I felt so prim and proper today. I twirled down the halls, and even spoke in a bit of a British accent of a while.  

TGIT! Only one more day until Friday, one more  until the release of The Hunger Games, and only one more day of finals. Unfortunately, I will be missing finals tomorrow, to be participating in a UIL competition L I’m really going the miss the four hours of testing, but to all of you who are testing tomorrow. Good Luck!

Rain Rain GO Away!

 

 Hey Guys! Today is Tuesday March 20^th! It is OFFICALLY SPRING! Which is hard to believe when it rain was pouring down and what seemed like 100 mph winds were destroying the Earth today. SO, since it is the first day of spring, I thought that it was fit to celebrate!                                                                                              

 I thought that it was fit to celebrate! So, I went to the RedBox and got a copy of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Although, I don’t know is I got what I paid for... I got what looks like a bootleg copy of the movie. I will let you guys be the judges. Bootleg or Real? Answer in the comment section below.

The "bootleg" DVD from RedBox

I woke up this morning planning to wear a nice sundress, but then one look at the news and I knew that I had to scrap that plan. Today there was a 95% chance of rain! Since nature decided to pour down today, I went for something weather proof. Today I wore and favorite grey Cole Haan patent leather WATERPROOF rain boots, my blue skinny jeans and a baby blue farm girl top with a sheer gray tank top. I am so glad that I decided to check the new this morning or I probably would be soaked from head to toe.

My Fabulous Grey Boots!

Fridays, Yellow and Lots of Pennies!

   Hey Guys, do you what day it is? The most wonderful, exciting and waited for day. NO , not Christmas! I’s Friday! Now that the week is over and spring has started, it is time to sleep in, stay up late and procrastinate.

 Today was quite interesting and allowed for me to have a bit of fun. Se all those pennies to the left? Those are for my good friend the lunch man. After being rude and impatient I thought that I would give him something that would take PLENTY of time. So, I paid for lunch in ALL PENNIES. Exactly 150 of them. Of course, he was in shock when I handed them to him, but he simply dumped them into the money tray without even counting! Hmm, maybe next time I’ll only pay half! It’s not like he going to count!

 Also, today was the finale of Cancer Awareness Week. All week we people all over the globe having been showing that support and colors for cancer. Monday was purple, Tuesday was orange, Wednesday was blue, Thursday was pink, and Friday was yellow. Yellow represents early childhood cancer affecting millions of children each year. With the glow of Friday of their faces , and the bright pop of color they are clothed in, hundreds of smiling faces bounced up and down the hallways.
