Alas, my dears...

So, due to some series of unfortunate events, my laptop is currently in a state of not working. I guess something went wrong with the hard drive and now it's fried... So, we ordered a new one, but it won't be here for a few days. As far as I know, I can't reach any of my programs or files or anything on my laptop right now (though hopefully I will soon...) so I can't edit photos or do any of that jazz... So I'm going to just go on a short break as I get everything back together again.

If all goes well, talk to you soon! x P.S. My 200 followers was short lived. ;) Ah well. As is life. And as Alex says, losing followers like a boss!

Turning The Tables

skirt: urban outfitters, blouse: thrifted, cardigan & shoes: goodwill, tights: target

First of all, I'm so amazed and happy to say that I hit 200 followers. I want to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart. Blogging has been amazing thus so far, and you guys have been nothing but sweet. I truly love you all. ♥

Secondly, I haven't been completely straight forward or honest about things going on in my life on this blog. That's not what I wanted - I wanted this blog to be whatever I wanted it to be, and to be able to say what I need to - good and bad. It's just a difficult task, and I don't want anyone to be intimidated by anything I say. But this is my blog. If you don't want to listen then you can leave, and I have to accept that.

It's been a while now, but it hurts all the same - Derek and I broke up. While it was more painful in the beginning (he's been gone for almost 3 months, now), I can't say it's something easy to get over; we were in a long relationship. Yet, I'm trying to live my life as it goes. Moving forward. & I'm okay, so don't worry.

Anyway, I'm still sick, which sucks. This is almost random, but do you ever feel as though your whole life you are waiting for something else? During a school day, you're waiting for after school. During a school week, you're waiting for the weekend. The rest of the time, you're waiting for that week break from school. Or summer. I feel like I'm waiting and waiting, but for nothing. I don't know what I'm looking forward to, sometimes.

On a side note, last night I wrote lyrics for a song in rock band that we are writing.
For the first time, I think I put meaning behind them. x

Head Scarf!

dress, heels, scarf & button-up: goodwill, leather jacket: vintage (my mom's), tights: target

Happy Monday! I was near contemplating not taking photos or making a post today, but, I had tried a new style out today so I figured I must show you! I tried out this head band scarf style thing! It's probably not that foreign to all you bloggers, but I got a few strange looks at school. Who cares about them, though?! Anyway, I wasn't going to post because I just don't feel too good today, unfortunately. Just icky. I dunno. :( Pray for a swift recovery from whatever this is for me.

I'm almost to 200 followers, and I just wanted to say, you guys are amazing. Every day I'm shocked when I see a new follower, and it just makes me so happy that you guys are interested in what I have to say. ♥

I had something else to say but it has completely slipped my mind. It was probably about the weather and how insane it has been lately. Today it was relatively dry, however, and I managed to grab these shots with even a bit of sunshine! Glorious! We made it through Monday! X

It's Friday!

sweater & boots: goodwill, skirt: ?, shirt: old navy, purse: thrifted

It's raining again. Going to be for the next 10 days, I hear! Gosh! It's Friday, and time for relaxation (or time to party if you're Rebecca Black... Anyone else laughing hysterically at this girl/this song/this music video??) Nothing more to say! I'm about to go to Lijah's and watch The Event. Whoo! X

Smile

dress & cardigan: forever 21, belt: goodwill, boots: flea market

I apologize for the somewhat-similar color scheme going on here as with my last post. Gee, I didn't even realize it till a second ago! Don't get angry now. ;) How are you all doing?! It's Wednesday! My day today was fun! I got to sleep till 7:30, and for lunch, I got Noah's Bagels with my friend Lijah. The exciting part was my last class of the day, rockband. We are currently working on a progressive rock song, and let's just say it's becoming an ordeal. But a really awesome one! I can't even explain how it goes or anything. If we ever record it, I'll be SURE to let you know.

Speaking of recording, we actually are in the process of recording one of our songs! It doesn't have a name because I'm bad at naming things, but let's just say, the recording process is interesting...and tiresome! I've never done it before now, so it is quite an experience.

Homework...dinner...the gym...more homework...sleep... talk to you all soon! X

Don't You Remember?

romper & shoes: goodwill, belt: target, shawl: my mom's

I am so in love with Adele right now. ♥ I finally downloaded her newest album, 21, and I love it. I really don't know why I haven't made a music column for this blog yet. Oh yeah, I forgot, because I'm so dang busy. :( As you've maybe noticed, my lack of commenting has increased substantially over this past week and weekend. I've been running around like crazy! But I greatly apologize, and I'm going to try to catch up one way or another. Despite me falling short, you guys have been amazing lately. Welcome new followers! I'm so glad to have you. :)

My SAT on Saturday went eh okay. The math portion was difficult for me, and I didn't answer a lot of questions. I plan on retaking the SAT at least one more time though, so I'm not going to be too freaked out over that yet. After the SAT from 8-12:45, I went straight to the Showcase for my art school, where I rehearsed and then came back for the performance a little later. My weekend was soo busy! But, as I look back on it, it was also fun! On Friday I saw Rango with my friend Nat, and we both thought it was really funny and well done. :) Johnny Depp is great.

Hope to talk to you all soon & start commenting much more again! Thanks again for your support! ♥ x

A Taste of Spring

skirt, sunnies, & belt: goodwill, heels: thrift town, shirt: target, necklace: my mom's

Although if you ask anyone at my highschool they will disagree with me, but, long skirts are the way to go. There are times and places for short skirts, but I am personally way more attracted to the silhouette of a longer skirt. I know I've talked about this before, but I just can't get enough of them right now. For a beautiful example, see Kate Maggie of Postcards From's latest post. I adore her skirt! It comes right below the knee like mine, and she just looks darling.

I know that I'm being so ironic, right! Wearing a rather short skirt on Monday, and a rather long one today. What can I say - I'm a wild child.

Lijah found these sunglasses at Goodwill for me when we were doing a little thrifting (I found him an awesome blazer with elbow patches!). I thought that it was about time that I get some different sunglasses, as much as I love my faithful Raybans. It's good to switch it up here and there! These are kinda big, but I'm actually quite fond of them.

One last thing! Remember my last post? It was rainy and windy? Well today it was in the 60s! It was amazing! For the first time, I actually went bare leg! A perfect taste of spring! I can't wait. X
