Life Lately: September 2014

Why hello hello fashionistas!

I haven't been on the blogosphere in what feels like eons, but really has only been about a month and a half. The problem with blogging is that every time I start to think maybe I should just be done I realize that I want nothing more than to have the time to dedicate to this little corner of the internet. 

I'm not sure who even bothers stopping by to check out Glamorous Girl 2014 who never posts, but if anyone out there is still checking in on me just know that I feel your love. 

Since I have been too busy lazy and full of excuses to post I figured I might as well update ya'll on what I have been up to. 

Here's the latest little gem I have purchased from my lovely place of employment. This bag is called the Loryn. I'm completely obsessed with the soft pink and berry color. The zig-zagging detail is what really made me fall head over heels for this bag. I had to have it because I know it will be perfect for fall and I'm sure I'll use it all the way through February (hello isn't this the best valentine's day bag ever?!). I just love me some Kate Spade. 

Stuffing my face with pizza. Obviously I have been so busy eating. No, but seriously I have been eating a lot. Good thing I'm still hitting the gym on the regular to combat the calories. I have been zumba-ing with my mom a few times a week and I'm getting back  into running and weights. 

A little calculator shot to show that I'm busy with school. I'm doing pretty well in all of my classes. I've gotten A's on all my tests except for a B on my first accounting test. I'm making friends, which I'm happy about because the first couple of weeks were tough not having anyone to chat with or compare homework with.

Even though I have been making friends I have been spending a lot of time missing my lovely ladies. Just a little throwback to February-March of this year when we took a little road trip. 

Oh yes, more food pictures. I'm pretty sure I'm no longer a fashion blogger, but more of a food blogger. I picked up sushi to go with my sister after work the other night. Note the every so glamorous cheetah nightgown, gotta love Victoria's Secret sleep tees. 

Selfie for my new haircut.. Which in reality was a trim and I had her add some layers because it was looking heavy. I'm happy that it's finally "fall" (it's still 85 degrees and 90% humidity in FL, but whatever) because I can bust out my vampy lip colors. I'm wearing Hourglass "Nocturnal" in this picture, one of my favorite lipsticks ever. 

This weekend I'm taking a little road trip with my sister because I spontaneously bought the two of us tickets to see One Direction tomorrow! I literally bought them last Friday on the fly because I could get two seats for a reasonable price and I knew she would freak out!

I hope you guys are all doing splendidly and I really hope I can keep my booty posting on here. There is something so cathartic about reflecting on your life and typing away. Okay, I'm off to go do homework and laundry before class tonight. 

Loads of love!

Update

Hello fashionisatas!

This upcoming week is a very hectic one filled with a ton of deadlines and upcoming events. I'm forwarning that I am not sure how much I will be able to post! I have a lot school projects due this week and sometimes I have to put my passion for fashion on the back burner! I will try my hardest to get an outfit or two up here this week.

Between family, friends, and plans I have barely been home. 

Here's a snapshot of Lily and I before we went to volunteer on Sunday morning. Twinnin' with our aviators.  

This upcoming Sunday is my 18th birthday and I cannot be more excited. Things are crazy, but crazy good. I promise a more in depth update very soon! Please bear with  me.

And on a random note here is my current jam of the moment. 

John Legend All of You

The lyrics are hauntingly beautiful. 

Loads of love!

Life Update

Hello fashionistas!

I'm not really in an outfit posting mood today, so you're getting a life update. 

I finished my pottery project that I showed you guys in this post .

I'm going to use this for the art show that a local gallery does with the high schools in our county ever year. 

Beaded black tops for the win. 

Friday night my friends and I decided to have a little GNO (girl's night out). We went out for dessert and played pool. Followed by a sleepover. The next night we had another sleepover and went out for sushi. We had a really fab weekend. 

I snapped pics of my two silly pets this weekend. My cat, Java, decided to drink right out of glass full of water. He is ridiculous, his water bowl was maybe 50 feet away.

My dog, Colby, sleeps with all of his paws straight up in the air. I love that crazy boy! 

This is my current pottery project that I'm working on. The whole project will have the carved out lines like the top. The blue you see is a transfer ink paper that has a seashell pattern on it.

I'm off to the gym with my friend. Hope all is going well with you guys! 

Loads of love!

A Fabulous Gift!

Hello fashionistas!

I thought I'd share with you all the present my Nana brought me this week. She also brought me two shirts, which I didn't picture because I wanted this little gem to be the focus.

Nana said that when she saw this that she just thought it would be perfect for me. She was so right! 

I love this dress so much. I can't wear it now, but I will definitely be wearing it as soon as possible, I'm thinking Easter. 

I love the hot pink color of it, it's just quite a statement. This dress hits me just below the knee. I feel like some silver, peep toe heels would be perfect for this dress. Or possibly silver slingbacks.

There's a subtle texture on the polka dots, just thought I'd focus in on it for you all.

Thank you so much Nana!

Now for a little personal update.

This weekend has been quite busy and it's only Saturday night! Yesterday I went home with my best friend, Lily, we went out to dinner. After dinner we met up with some of our friends and walked around downtown and got a cup of coffee and pastries.

 Today I went and got my haircut, pictures to come soon! After that I went and hung out with the other best friend, Melissa, and we walked around downtown again. We got a late lunch (tacos, which were delicious). After getting a little dessert (Melissa got a fancy popsicle and I got gelato) we stumbled upon a wedding! Mel and I are both wedding saps, so we stopped and watched them exchange vows. It was really great! It was the first wedding we had ever both "been" to. Our best friend teacher is getting married in a few months and their initials happen to be C and D; the two people who were getting married also had the same initials. 

Congrats to C&D, the unknown wedded couple, may you have a fabulous marriage!

Tomorrow I'm going homecoming dress shopping with Lily. I have mine all squared away, on the other hand, she doesn't. Wish us luck!

Have a fabulous weekend! I have no school on Monday, so my weekend will be extra long and great!

Random Life Update

Hey fashionistas!

Sorry I haven't blogged in a few days, I've been busy.

So many things have happened and I just haven't had time to blog it up! 

I just thought that this post needed a little cute factor, so here's my aunts new kitten! His name is Dudley and he's adorable!

School is pushing me to my limits this year. Chemistry = the death of me! Conversions are extremely confusing to me. I sort of get them, but then it's like "how do you do convert this to millimeters cubed" and then I like freak and I'm like I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS!?!?! I panic and stress. I just need to breathe! 

Drama with my friends is also keeping me busy/stressed and I don't even want to get into all of that.

Life has just gotten in the way of blogging. I'm going to try to pull a blog-worthy outfit together for tomorrow! So, I'll try to post one if I can pull something together in the morning! 

Seen as this is a random post, I'm going to regale you all with tales of the weather.

It's been storming the past couple of days like crazy. Due to the crazy rain my beloved Gossip Girl (SEASON PREMIERE) didn't tape last night! Yes, I love that show. I was seriously bummed when it didn't tape! Plus, the CW doesn't put up recent episodes for a week. It's so sad that I know that. I was looking forward to the fashion on Gossip Girl, gotta love that inspiration.

Let's see what I else I can gab about.. Hmmm. 

This is semi-beauty related; I got my eyebrows to grow the way I wanted. They're tamed! I'm still filling them in a bit with Urban Decay's 'Naked'. 

Honestly I've got nothing else to say. I'm just talked out. 

Be on the lookout for an outfit post soon! 

Lots of love!

Last Week in Pictures

Hello my beautiful fashionistas!

I thought I'd show you a glimpse into last week, it was a busy week!

1.) Me messing around on my webcam. I had MAC's melon pigment on my eyes in case anyone was wondering, I don't recall the other products! 

2.) My sleepy bebe! Mr. Java. just lazing around. He's so cute! 

3.) David Cook's new CD titled This Loud Morning. I'm so in love with this CD! I saw him in concert back in 8th grade, he's so good. 

4.) I'm a huge fan of Lousie Bagshawe, her books are scandalous and filled with plot twists! The Go-To Girl was no different, you should definitely check her books out. I finished this book and two others that I would have pictured had I not lent them to Mel. 

5.) I spent a good 2 days painting last week. This is your little preview into what my room looks like...!

6.) Mel and I being funny and posing with our rollers! Aren't we cute? 

This was last week, I'll do another post next week about this week. Does that make any sense at all? 

I hope it does!

Today I did some stuff around the house, nothing special. 

Tomorrow I'm packing for vacation. I am the worst at packing, I always overpack. Seriously... I can never decided just how MANY pairs of shoes to bring.

Freshness

Bonjour fashionistas,

I wore this to the dentist and to run errands with my mom the other day.

Photos courtesy of my lovely little sister!

Jacket and Shoes: Bealls Tank top: ? Shorts: Kohls Bracelet and Earrings: Forever 21 Headband: Claire's

I'm in LOVE with this blazer. I seriously can't wait to wear it again. I titled this "Freshness" because I feel like the blazer looks really fresh and clean. Once I get really tan (I'm barely tan at all) this will POP and look ahhh-mazing! These shoes were also a really good buy, the make my legs look long, which I always need. I don't know if you guys know this, but I absolutely hate wearing shorts. I do not like my stumpy legs. My best friend Mel always tells me that I have to get over my fear of shorts, it's too hot to not wear them! She's right. 

This is one of my favorite headbands, so Blair Waldorf-esque (Gossip Girl). I was going to wear my hair straight (by straight I mean smooth out the ends of my layers, this is my hair basically natural), but my straightener made a pop noise, so I put it down and unplugged it. I was scared it was going to catch on fire. Needless to say, my mom bought another straightener. Well she bought another straightener for her, I'm going to get one like my old one (Remington). I'll just use her small one until I can get my wide one! 

Anyways, I'm out at my Nana's for bit so that's why posts aren't going to be quite so regular. Today is Nana's 70th birthday! We're having a big party for her tomorrow. My Nana took me driving for 1 and a half hours today, we went on the highway (granted it's in the country so it wasn't packed, but still really cool). I'm trying to convince my mom that when we drive home that she should let me drive part of the way! My turning has really improved, backing up is still really challenging. Practice makes perfect. Seen as I've been at it for only 3 days, I've got a lot of practicing to do to make it perfect!

Lots of love, have a fabulous weekend!

Where Do I Begin?! Update and OOTD

Hello fashionistas,

whoooo, what a week it has been (and it's only Wednesday)!

Let me give a run down of my week so far! 

Sunday: I went to a Bon Jovi concert with my mom and aunt that night. You all know my love for him! It was so great, he's amazing! We didn't get home until 1 am, and due to the fact that I was all jazzed up I didn't fall asleep until 2:30 am. Oh, Monday morning was r o u g h.

Blazer: Kohls Shirt: New York and Company Tank top: Aeropostale Jeans: GV Shoes: Aerosoles Clutch: Susan Faber Earrings: Mom's
Sorry for the fact that I'm talking! This was the only picture I have of my outfit.

Excuse the fat face pictures, bad angles. Also, excuse the triangle of paleness between my brows, I got a lot of sun (a little burnt) and had sunglasses on. So now I have that stupid pale spot!

Monday: I dragged my sleepy bootaaayyy out of bed and into the shower (I normally shower at night though). I was so tired! After making it through the school day I went home with my friend to do a trial run on her hair and makeup for prom. Then, we went and got our nails done (well she got her nails done and I got a pedicure).
Then I got home and did my geometry homework and studied for my French test.

Tuesday: I went to school and took my surprisingly easy French test. I'm glad it was easy because I made note cards, but I only studied for a half hour! Then I went to my best friend Lily's house and chilled for a couple of hours. After 'chilling', I went to her spring guitar concert (which was great) !
I didn't get home until 9:30, then I made my other best friend Melissa brownies because today is her birthday.
Before going to bed I looked over some biology stuff because Wednesday was the first pre-AICE biology exam.

Wednesday: I went in early to give Mel her brownies and card and have a little celebration.HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELLY!  Then came death (aka the exam). Biggest shocker of the day, the exam wasn't that hard! There were only a couple of things I was really stumped on. This one was apparently the easiest out of the 3 we have to do. Monday is the hardest (so scared). After the test I went to my normal classes and did work. I also finished my teapot project in pottery today! Once I got home it was more homework and studying. I also helped mom do some cleaning.

Now you're all caught up in my life! Sorry for ignoring the blog lately! My life has just been go, go, go nonstop! Tomorrow I have a geography test to study for so, I probably won't post anything. 

I hope you're all having a great week!

Love you guys!

Cargos and Chains.

Hello my dearest fashionistas,

I have an outfit of the day to share with you!

I wore this on Thursday.

Top and tank top- Kohls Cardigan- Forever 21 Cargo pants- GV (Costco) Shoes- Aerosoles (Ross) Earrings- New York and Company

This outfit sort of reminded me of the Disney movie Cadet Kelly (starring Hilary Duff).

Here's the DVD cover (via google images).

For some reason I was feeling a little "army glam". I think it was the cargo pants!

I don't know if you noticed but, these pictures were taken on my front porch (courtesy of my mom). My last two picture sessions have been on the front porch, you'll be seeing the other one soon! I've decided that outfit pictures outside are way better!

Now for a little update. My best guy friend and I are back to normal.

Tomorrow, I'm going over to my friend Madeline's house (hi Mad D, I know you're reading this)!

On Sunday my dad is leaving for a business trip. My mom is flying out on Wednesday to meet up with him for a little vacation. My Nana is coming to stay with my sister and I.

Monday and Tuesday I have standarized testing (barf).

On Thursday I have a geography test.

That's about it!

I'll be doing a post either Sunday or Monday.

Lots of love!

Have a great weekend!

Smiles All Around- OOTD

Hey fashionistas,

I have just a little outfit of the day that I wore almost 2 weeks ago..

Wow, I'm slackin'!

Tank top: Kohls

Sweater: New York and Company

Jeans: GV

Shoes: Nine West

Watch: Avenue (I finally remembered where I got this! It was on a mannequin when I walked by the store a year or two ago and I had to have it!)

I remember my hair was just straight and boring that day, so I braided a piece over and felt very Lauren Conrad-ish all day!

That's all for now!

Lot's of love!

Life Update- 4/2/11

Hello my fabulous fashionistas,

I decided that it was time for a little update on my life!

I thought I'd fill you all in on the situation with my friend.

We made up and then we miraculously ended up fighting over something just as stupid as before. I'm taking everyone's advice and just waiting it out. If he doesn't want to patch this up then, maybe I am better off without him.

I left him a voicemail so, the ball is in his court.

Seriously though thanks for your advice and kindness. I love you all so much!

The weather here in FL during the week was pretty bad, severe thunderstorms and tornado warnings. Friday was beautiful so, Lily and I went to play mini golf downtown. Here are some pictures from that.

Ha, isn't this attractive?

After mini golf, the family, Lily, and I all went out to dinner at a local seafood restaurant. I didn't order seafood!

Here's what I got.

Grilled chicken with onions, mushrooms, bacon, and cheese. "Smashed" potatoes for my side.

Healthy... Not!

Lily got shrimp stuffed with crab and this complicated side that I can't even explain!

Lily, my mom, and I all split "Lulu's Mud Pie." So good!

Today Lily was over almost all day and we watched a movie. Then we were outside walking around and talking. That's about it!

Tomorrow is sadly the last day of spring break! I do not want to go back to school.

I plan on doing my March favorites post tomorrow. I have an outfit of the day scheduled to go up on Wednesday.

Lot's of love!

This Is the Story of My Life & I Write It Everyday

Hey fashionistas,

sorry for not posting for almost two days (the horror!) , I've been busy.

Let me give you a little update on my life.

So remember how I told you my guy friend and I were arguing? Well I was the bigger person and apologized and we put it behind us, although things won't be the same due to what we argued about but, I'm not going to get into that!

I had two quizzes and a test today, so I was studying it up yesterday.

I'm pretty sure I didn't do well on my geometry test, the teacher wasn't there for the past two days and then he gave us a test on two sections he didn't teach us! *sigh*

My other quizzes were super easy though.

We have a four day weekend, so today is my Friday!

I'm going to have a five day weekend because of the Bon Jovi concert my mom and I are going to see, I won't be back at school until Wednesday!

Tomorrow one of my best friends (Melissa) is going shopping with me and my mom, Nana, and sister. We're going to Forever 21 and Costco.

My mission is to find a cute top to wear to the concert on Monday!

Mel hasn't been to the giant Forever 21 near us yet, so this will be quite an overwhelming experience! Even though I've been multiple times, I still can't get over the vastness of the store!

Almost 120,000 sq feet of Forever 21 !

Anyways, ramble over! Here's what I threw on before I walked out the door.

Shirt: New York and Company

Tank top: Aeropostale

Necklace: Forever 21

Cardigan: Forever 21

Shoes: Old Navy

Jeans: GV

This is such an unattractive photo of myself!

Oh, the necklace says "LOVE" but, the LO is on top of the VE .

Somedays when I don't know what to wear I just throw on layers of the same color, so today was very black on black. Or as the French would say "noir sur noir."

Just a wee bit of casual French!

Here's Nana with me after dinner!

I really need to get more sleep, my eyes look so tired...

Oh and this is random but, I wanted to show you the vase I've been working on in my pottery class, it's way different now then when I last talked about it.

Warning, it's very abstract. I finished doing the lines/swirls on it today, but this photo was taken yesterday. Also the bag in the opening is just to make sure it kept its form.

This is it looking from the back.

Casual side view.

A lot of people said it looked like broccoli or cauliflower. Some think it's a tree, or a person's head.

I think it looks sort of under the sea-ish.

I guess it is open to your own interpretation. I just kind of embraced it's wonky form! My teacher loves it, she helped me get it to lean like it does.

Right now it's drying out, so I'll be probably getting it fired on Wednesday or Thursday.

I'm thinking of painting it a light blue or teal.

After somebody threw out that it looked like cauliflower I decided against a cream color!

Oh, another random side note, I got a super cute denim pencil skirt today from Coldwater Creek (which I call Oldwater Creek...) but, this skirt was too cute!

For Valentines day my mom bought me a purple plaid jacket from there, I'll show you guys soon!

I hope you're all having a fabulous day! Happy almost Friday!

PS: This is the song that I got the title from, it's Bon Jovi and it's called... Story of My Life.

My friend Mel and I adore it, we shortened it to 'SOML' !
