Back On Track.

I am not looking forward to returning to school one bit, but maybe these will ease the pain. They're the cutest erasers that I've ever seen, each looks like a delicious (detailed) dessert. When I was on vacation I found the erasers being sold separately for just 99 cents each. I got two of the ice-cream cones (one in vanilla and another in strawberry) and the cake pictured on the right.

The store where I found these erasers doesn't have a website, but if you find these erasers as cute as I do, you can purchase the set for $12 at Fred Flare. The other option is to look for Iwako (in stores, or online). Iwako is an awesome Japanese eraser company. They have tons of food inspired erasers (a small portion of the selection of erasers look like non-food items, but are equally adorable), some of which are even cuter than the ones that I bought. I could definitely spend quite a lot of time and money checking out the selection online, but I forced myself off of the Iwako website.

Besides, I've been keeping my erasers in the packaging (nothing special, there is a cute little illustration though), so I have yet to see if they actually work. I'm pretty skeptical about it, but I think I prefer them in their current pristine condition anyway.

BlackBerry Fields Forever.

I'm not incredibly tech savvy, but I know enough to get by. Still, when it comes to technology I've become terribly superficial. If it's shiny and smaller than you ever though an electronic could be, send it my way. Which is why I currently covet a BlackBerry.

I don't actually need one, or any of those special qualities you have to pay extra for. There isn't anything wrong with my current phone, but there is something about a blackberry that just calls to me. It's so sleek, but still, I doubt I'll ever be able to justify buying one to myself. Although I do get a new phone in a few months, I won't be buying a BlackBerry, but maybe I'll find something equally sleek.

Blaze A Trail.

There was the year I got into bangles, the year I loved jumpers, and so many more. This year though, I have a flawless favorite in mind. Blazers. Blazers instantly finish off any outfit, and add another great element to any look. Plus, they're a great way to deal with the chilly air conditioning inside my school. While everyone else is resisting the cold in sweatshirts and hoodies, I'll be rocking fabulous blazers.

I Have Seen Heaven.

One of my purchases on Friday was this tank, and let me tell you, I have never loved a tank so much. I wore it yesterday while babysitting, and it was so comfortable that I collapsed into my bed with it on. It has a great amount of bagginess and an awesome racer back. But above all, it is just amazingly comfortable, and only cost $5.80. It won't last me forever, but for that price, I'm willing to buy another if it stays this comfortable forever. (The picture isn't too great, it actually looks nicer in person.)

On a pretty much unrelated note, I came across this picture and loved it. It is so much like the Coco Rocha Chanel ads. I love how they used the same hairstyles in the ads and on the runway. Looking at both makes me really want to go find a ton of brooches.

Sorry for the short/lame post. I'll do better tomorrow.

PS; I'm currently in a very good mood because I lost five pounds this week.

You Are So Cute.

I went to see Harry Potter yesterday and before the movie I went to the mall with my mother. We had dinner (a delicious and terribly unhealthy meal of Chick-fil-A)and then did a little bit of pre-movie shopping. I didn't buy a ton, just a few necessities. For now I'll just share two of my 'fun' purchases.

When I first saw this little owl in the bins near the Forever21 checkout I thought it was just a wallet. But then I saw the writing and noticed the spelling of so/sew. I unzipped the owl and inside is the cutest little sewing kit. Therefore I immediately had to buy it. ($6.50) It actually looks like a pretty good kit, and I'll have lots of fun pulling it out when I'm taking my fashion course this year. (More on that in the future.)

I also got this necklace. The photo doesn't do it justice. It's a very cute koi fish. It's mostly a teal color, but it also has some brown detailing. The fish came in three other colors, but I caught eye of this one and was in love. It isn't exactly a typical purchase for me, but it was so fun, I couldn't resist. I even put the necklace on before going to the movie theater.

And totally unrelated to anything else I've mentioned, head over to turnyournameintoaface.com and do just that. You enter your name and out comes a pixelized face. My name came up with this...interesting face.

Call Upon.

My dream purse would definitely be an Hermés bag (in particular a Birkin), but in reality I do not see that in my near future. Besides, in all honesty I think a Birkin would look a little peculiar on the arm of a fifteen year old.

Getting past my Hermés fixation, I would like to purchase a really classic bag. Something mature, something that matches everything, something gorgeous, something that will last a long time, and something that will never go out of style.

This is where you all come in, I need suggestions!

I don't have a price limit in mind because I don't need to buy a new purse immediately. However, don't make any suggestions that are too crazy.

P.S. Isn't that Hermés ad the cutest?

I Know I Said I Hate Routine.

I've heard a lot of talk about summer uniforms. Not like a school girl uniform, or a uniform for a job, but a go-to summer outfit.

During the school year I'm always trying to come up with creative outfits, but then summer hits and I become quite lazy. After a few weeks I notice that whenever I kick the laziness and get dressed, I seem to be wearing something very similar.

My go-to outfit has become, a pair of jean shorts (mine are less ripped up than Nicole's though), a v-neck tee, a lightweight scarf, gladiator sandals, a pair of sunglasses, and a fun assortment of bracelets. And during the summer I continue to carry around a gigantic leather bag. They're just as great for carrying around beach necessities as they are for carrying my lunch during the school year. They aren't so great for taking up small amounts of room though! (This is my way of saying that I am in dire need of a bigger closet. A lot bigger.)

During the school year, one thing that tends to be uniform about me is my hair. It's always straightened, partly because I prefer how it looks, and partly because it makes it a lot easier to manage. During the summer however, I left my waves take over and usually keep my hair piled atop my head.

Anywho, what is your go-to outfit in the summer?
