Country club hopping

I have no idea what came into this morning while getting dressed but somehow dressed like I was going to crash a Country Club golf game. Hmmm. Oh well, I am heading off now to go to my boyfriend's birthday party..yes, he decides to hold it on such an unlucky day as Friday the 13th. Oh well, I am just happy I get to see the lad.

We partied like it was graduaton

My high school graduation was one week ago. I have been enjoying my summer and new found freedom by being out of the house as much as possible. This of course means a delayed blogging time. However, I do now have pictures of what I wore through graduation. Just none of that hideous blue gown that made me look a giant piece of fruit.

I bought this dress at Esprit in Germany in March of 2007 not knowing when or where I was going to wear it. Luckily graduation and the mornings festivities proved a good place for it to be worn.



Excuse the pink bra straps. Those were later replaced with clear.
This is the dress I wore to the after party (i got home around three)
Not in the pic but my mom gave me a different pair of shoes to wear with this dress that I was able to keep.




Now for the shoes. My mom first bought these Steve Madden shoes. I quickly fell head over heels (bad pun). She surprised me one day with a pair of my very own from Ebay. The heels are tall (they make me over 6' while I stand at 5'9") but incredibly easy to walk in hence why I wore them at graduation. They were the only reason I was looking forward to wearing a grad gown. They actually made that thing look half way to decent. I am soo sad because my camera lacks adequate skills to get a good picture of them.

Petite Palmiers in China

I have become addicted to Petite Palmiers. They are delicious French cookies that are flaky, buttery, and oh so sweet. Oh they are sooooooo good. And at 110 Calories a palmier do not think they are diet food.

Here is what I wore today. I didn't think my feet could handle the heels so I changed to black flats before I ran out the door.

Flowers with power

Let's see. I am done with high school!!! Yes! My last day was Friday and Graduation is this friday, the 6th. Finally, I will have freedom from that place...As for now here is what i wore today. First one for church, second for bumming around the house, doing absolutely nothing and not feeling bad at all.

Ugh, so sorry but you can't really see the skirt. It hits about mid-thigh and has faint stripes all over. I should be wearing this many times during the summer though...

Tie my dye

I got a free shirt I might as well wear it..yeah? Plus I got my hair dyed more red and it can be seen below. Thats not a very good representation of it, but the color is just fantastic.

We both are bi-polar

The weather is bi-polar. One day it decides to jump to the mid-90s, the next it is 75F and windy. Frankly, I have no idea what to wear anymore. I spent yesterday at home in pajama pants because the back of my legs were far too sunburned for pants. Today, I thought i would suffer a little but the pants aren't too bad so far on my poor fried legs. As mentioned before, my wonderful boyfriend returned last night and he got me a great necklace while he was away. I could not get a decent picture of it, but the red dot/speck is a real wild rosebud only found in Colorado.

Beaches and proposals

I am getting married! No, just kidding. This boy isn't even my boyfriend. (He is my fashion guy, in case you were wondering) On Monday I headed down to a beach (there is an abundance in Southern California) for a school-organized trip. Sorry, i don't have a decent photo of what i am wearing. But for most of the day I was wearing a two-piece and you all don't need to see my farmer's tan white legs quite yet. Just a side note, my boyfriend came back from Colorado today! After 12 days of not seeing him, he actually managed to surprise me in more ways than one. (insert smiley icon here)


It is just beautiful here.

Give it a rest

So far, today has proved not to be boring but relaxing. I have yet to crack open a school book and instead reached for my new June copy of Real Simple. It is a magazine aimed at the 30-40 something group of mothers, but I find my seventeen year young self enjoys all of the articles just as much as those found in Nylon or Vogue. Of course, what else would I drink on a hot summer day but hot chocolate. (There were no more Kreug K-cups of coffee.)







Now I shall wait for my boyfriend to return my call before I venture off to the grocery store.

Great wall of narcism

Sadly, there is no other person to take pics of my outfits, so last night I decided to take the camera into my own hands, or at least set it on 10 second delay. I think I spent over thirty minutes trying to take pictures. It seemed that I had gotten all of the individual shots of clothing down but I had yet to find a place to snap the full size. And finally, I went back to where I first tried to take pics, setup the camera with delay and shot a full size. These pics are from last night, but this is what I wore today. Anyone think my picture taking got any better?
Comments would be lovely. Thanks.









Of course, here is my hair. Sadly, it didn't quite turn out like this this morning..

Mother's Day polo games

Well, today was the day where moms are supposed to be celebrated. Did you know it was the one hundred year anniversary as well? Looky here. So today was bumming around the house, catering to all of my family's mothers. Which, in case you were wondering, there were five present. Sorry for the lack of quality with the pics, they were taken in a mad rush.

Tutu cachoo

Yes, I did base my title off a Beatles song, but that is not important. I FINALLY have evidence of those wonderful tutus I made. The 6th of May is one of my best friend's birthdays so three of us decided tutus would be a good idea. These all took roughly one hour to make, which is not too shabby considering the results. This was of great help in the process. Of course, what do you do when you have a poofy tutu to wear and some spare time? Take pictures. Duh.  

We even got the boys in on it...

Purple "Fleur De Lis" Eater

It is getting a bit warm outside for me to be wear half sleeves, but I thought I might as well try to wear this out one more time. I adore the bell-like sleeves, the weird ruffles, and of course the purple. The first pic is most like the color that appears on the jacket. Plus, my mom's closet is always a good place to find a tank for layering.

Looks like I cut my hair......I didn't.

Gold Heart Necklace: Made by me from assorted leftover jewelry

I can never get a good picture of the bottom half of my outfit...Sorry bout that. Hope fully my picture taking ability gets better soon....
