Game Face On.

I got back a little while ago from my Homecoming shopping trip (very last minute). I was able to find a suitable dress, the perfect clutch, and very cute jewelry to rock with it. I was hoping the dress would be online, but of course neither it nor the clutch were online. I'll be sure to get pictures of both at some point for you.

Now that all that is decided all I have to do is figure out hair and makeup. I was thinking something with a braid, and of course some kind of fun smokey eye.

Besides Homecoming items I did make just a few purchases; my favorite Aromatherapy Orange Ginger Body Lotion and Stella by Stella McCartney perfume.

On Your Own.

As I've mentioned, this week is homecoming (and I finally decided to go), which means that it's spirit week. So, today I decided to paint my nails green, because green is the school's color. The only problem was I realized that I had thrown away my old green polish, so I set to work with two bottles of polish. I mixed NYC Taxi Yellow Creme (114A) and Sally Hansen Marine Science (23). I was going for a bright green to match the shirt I'm wearing Friday, but instead I ended up with a shade that has an uncanny resemblance to Chanel's Jade nail polish.

Regular (good) posting will be back next week, I've had a ton of school activities this week. Today was the parade, and I had to be a part of it for one of the clubs I'm in. Afterwards me and one of my friends tie dyed shirts for the pep rally on Friday. I'll try to get a picture of it later because I think it turned out pretty cool.

I also made plans to go shopping on Friday so that I can get my dress. I have no clue if I'll stick to my 90210 inspiration or stray from it, but you can be sure I'll let you all know.

You know this week has been crazy, because I've let my room become a total mess. I'm used to it being completely tidy, but I haven't had time to clean it yet. Hopefully tomorrow after school will be the perfect time.

Old Things Are New Once More.

Homecoming is Saturday and I have yet to buy my dress (or even determine if I'm going). Either way, I've been enjoying feasting my eyes on Beverly Hills 90210 reminiscent dresses.

Procrastination Is An Odd Fascination.

I've been doing a lot of experimenting with eyeshadow for the fall, and hopefully when I catch a little spare time I'll show you some of the looks I've tried.

This week is Homecoming week, and even though I haven't decided if I'll go or not, it'll be a busy week either way.

Today I wanted to practice driving, so my mom let me drive to TJ Maxx, where she had a return to make. I looked around but ended up with only one purchase a package with two pairs of tights; one black and one grey.

I know the posting is a little off lately, but I've been drained. I still have Biology homework to finish, and a story for British literature to right tomorrow, so expect things to pick up in a few days.

Until then, much love.

Aesthetically Pleasing.

I just glanced at the clock and realized the day was almost over, and I hadn't posted yet!


I don't know how the day got away from me like it did. I did fit in watching Clueless.


And then I bought Hello Kitty mints.

I made a few aesthetic changes to the blog. Let me know what you think.

You Could Say That.

You could definitely say that I'm obsessed with Jak & Jil. Sometimes I have trouble finding a photo for a post, but Jak & Jill has so many wonderful and inspiring pictures that I almost had too many options this time.

Frankly, Dear.

It has always bothered me when people say that they have no regrets because regrets are the mistakes you don't learn from. Just because I learned something from an incident doesn't mean that I wouldn't have much rather just known it from the start. For example, today I learned that when I wear colored tights I should not try to match them to my flashy sweater. Sure, now I know that they should be worn with a black cardigan and a tough necklace. I learned something from my faux pas, but it would've been just as nice to have not made the mistake in the first place. I would've settled for realizing it before I rushed out of the house in the morning.

In closing, if you don't have regrets, you probably should.

Now it's time for me to console myself and remember that not all risks can end on a positive note.
