Soul Mates...Eh, Mate?

It's an interesting topic, soul mates.  Just the thought of someone who's made for you being out there right now is so weird.  The thought that you may never get to meet them is even weirder!  I mean, it would really suck if you never got to meet the person that you're meant to be with.  I think if you have a soul mate (and everyone does), why not meet them?  It's not that easy.  What if they live in another city, state, or even country?  Like, oh, I don't know, Australia?  And if you do meet them, would you be able to tell?  I think...well, I don't really know what I think; I'd like to think that if you met them then you would notice, but maybe you wouldn't?  Who knows?  Not me, that's for sure.  But I'd like to find out! =]

"Dream Weaver" from Teen Vogue

Today I tried out this hair style I saw in the June/July issue of Teen Vogue.  It's from the spread "Dream Weaver" with Elle Fanning.  My favorite one was this braid down the side of her head, so I tried it and I think it worked out pretty well! :)

Any lighting I tried was pretty bad because it's storming out so it's dark...and my bathroom was way worse so I won't even put those up.  I tried the make up too, but you can't really see it.

Here's the braid!  (Those are the collages I make in the background!)

My brother wanted to be in the picture, and I wasn't planning on putting this one up, but the braid looks pretty good, so why not?  Oh yeah, I know, Edward in the background. :)

How does it look?

New Stuff

I'm thinking about doing a photo shoot sometime soon! I really like Sea of Shoes by Jane Aldridge and she's inspired me to do this because she has such great ideas and an even better sense of style. She's done everything I want to do--she's in Teen Vogue, she's been to the Crillion Ball in Paris (she got to wear Chanel...!) and she keeps up with her blog so much better than I do! I'd like to start doing more pictures of me and my style, so look for that! If you want to check out Jane (which you should!) here's her page: http://seaofshoes.com/

Ahhhh Rejection

Since now I'm completley and utterley obsessed with Martin Solveig now, I've been watching a ton of his videos. I just HAD to share this other song...and of course, the video is extremley weird but also cool! It's called Rejection, in case you haven't noticed by now. And ah, rejection. Don't we all deal with it?

Martin Solveig

Finally...it's officially summer!  I got out of school about two weeks ago, but I've still been too busy to post!  I'm going to try and post at least once a week from now on, so let's see how that goes.  I just got back from a trip to Michigan with my friends and we stayed at one of my friends' cottages on Lake Michigan!  It was so much fun and I'll put up a few pictures later (we took 360 pictures!).

I found this video and it is so cool!  Hello by Martin Solveig and Dragonette. You have to watch it...best music video I've seen in a while.  I play tennis, so that's probably why I love it so much, but it's still worth watching. :D  There's a longer version (8 minutes) but it's in French and while I take French, it's still hard to follow!




I also saw this video also by Martin Solveig which features Jean Paul Gaultier...amazing.











P.S. I'm thinking about applying for Teen Vogue's Fashion University!  That would literally be the best thing EVER if I can do it!

Summer Love

One thing that's really big for this summer is the color white.  I've seen it in Teen Vogue of course, but also countless other fashion magazines.  My favorite spread is one in Teen Vogue with Dave Franco and Laura Love as models. It's literally amazing...I look at it everyday!  Not only are the clothes cute, but Dave's not too bad either.  I could only find a couple pictures from the spread, but if you have the magazine, take a second look at it!

 Also, this week I have an AP World Exam (eek!), a research paper to write, and finals in two weeks.  I'll be pretty busy, but hopefully in the summer I can write a lot more because I'll have more free time. 

All things orange...

Rag and Bone.





Ahh!  It's Henry Holland and his collection!





House of Holland.  See the sweater in the picture above, too?





Chris Benz.







Alexander McQueen.  These shoes are completley and 100% amazing!





Another summer trend I like is patterns on patterns.  Something super different from the all white look?  Yeah, for sure.  But do I like it?  No doubt!  I guess I'll just have to fill my closet with both looks. 





I found this collage on the Fashion Allure website.  It really catches the pattern on pattern idea that's going to be popular this summer.





New York City

I recently went to New York City for my birthday with my dad, my friend, and her dad.  We had so much fun, despite the intense wind and rain on Saturday.  My friend and I spent a whole day shopping, just us, and navigated our way through the busy city.  Surprisingly, we never even got lost.  We shopped along 5th Avenue, went to Dylan's Candy Bar, and then walked down to the Plaza Hotel to visit the Eloise store.  Something that was really fun was bargining in China Town--although it was poruing and busy, we still managed to have a good time making deals.  It was all so much fun and I wish I was there right now!  Our hotel had an amzing view of Ground Zero, and even though I've been to the city countless times, this was the first time I'd seen it from up high looking down.  There's always something new and exciting to do everytime you come to New York even if you've been a thousand times.  Here are just a few of the 300 pictures I took in just 3 days...I know, thats a lot of pictures. :)

Amazing gelato!



Here's the amazing Ground Zero view from our hotel.
