Goal Oriented.

I have a new goal for myself. Over Christmas break I'm going to figure out how to work my grandmother's old sewing machine. I was decorating a stocking for my dog (go me) the other day and thought about how much easier it would've been if I could've just figured out how to work the sewing machine. I'm a little turned off of sewing after my friend made me watch the Texas Chainsaw Massacre today, but I'm still determined to get that thing working!

(The sewing machine doesn't actually look like that, but that one looks pretty cool.)

PS: Christmas is so close!

Edit: This sewing thing is a lot more difficult than I expected. I haven't had to thread a sewing machine since October of last year. (A long time ago!) So, I can only remember sort of what to do, plus I've never used a sewing machine that is this old (1972, according to the manual). Indeed, there is a manual, and it was pretty good for refreshing my memory. However, there appears to be a step or two I'm lacking, because I get one stitch and then the needle comes undone or something. Help?

Only A Matter Of Time.

Check out my new favorite website. Smart Pretty and Awkward offers an inspiring quote, and three tips almost every day. A tip to make you smarter, prettier, and less awkward. The website isn't exactly fashion related, but being smarter, prettier, and less awkward never hurts.

I only have two and a half days left of school until break (possibly less if this snow keeps up!) Over break I plan to: start a youtube channel, read the magazines piling up on my desk (I received the January Vogue today and I haven't even read the December issue), and relax. Hopefully all that winter break homework won't get in the way.

I'm snowed in, and the satellite is out. Which can only mean one thing. It's the perfect time for a movie marathon. I just need a topic. High school and fashion are two possibilities.

Hope you all have fabulous Saturday nights!

At Least Someone Is.

I really love DIYs. Looking at them, attempting them, etc. Sadly, I'm not very good at them, nor am I creative enough to come up with great DIY ideas.
Still, I like to look at other peoples, and muse about giving it a shot. So, I was really happy when I found out about PS I Made This on Fashionista.

The blogger not only attempts some really fabulous DIY projects, but also includes her inspiration for each project.

Now I just have to decide which of her projects would be achievable for me.

What is the best website you've found recently?

Keep On Talking.

I'm in kind of a meh mood today, but I do have a few things to mention.

First off, Christmas! My countdown is officially on. Today I helped decorate the tree (can't say I was all that helpful), wore Christmas PJs and socks, and watched Arthur's Perfect Christmas. What are you hoping for for Christmas? What are you most excited to give someone? I'm hoping to get the MAC 182 brush and a House of Harlow 1960 necklace. I asked for other things, but those are two highlights. I also want lots and lots of OPI nail polish. As far as giving goes, I'm excited to give my brother his presents, and my mom hers.

The next topic isn't really necessary or what I'd normally post, but oh well. I guess this is a 'me' blog rather than just a fashion blog. Anyway, I thought maybe if I posted it here I might actually follow through. So, I'm devoting myself to losing some weight. I do this all the time, and I'm always just as determined as the last time. But maybe it'll actually work?

I had another thing to talk about as well, but I can't think of it for the life of me. So, I'll just let you know how much I love the ring in the picture and rings in general. I wear long sleeves a lot, which makes bracelets a little harder to rock, but I'm all about rocking a great ring.

Oh, I remembered it!

I'm hoping to get started on that youtube channel thing I mentioned a while back. I figured it is worth a shot. Maybe it'll be fun. I'll keep you posted, I'm planning to start testing the waters over Christmas break. (I have a half day off on the 23rd and then break really begins on Christmas eve.)

And lastly, I'd like you guys to know that I fully intend to get back into blogging. Hopefully it will be soon! Thinking of good post ideas just hasn't been happening, and I get bored of just showing you all my nail polish. How do you get yourself out of a fashion blogging rut?

Snowy Day.

I'm ready for a snow day.

A week and a half until Christmas break!

Can you believe how fast Christmas sneaked up on us? I just have the final touches left as far as Christmas shopping goes. How about you?

Boats And Birds.

College night is tonight which means PSAT scores, and lots of information. (On college visits, college searches, financial aid, etc.) I'm going to be really tired tonight.

Weekend Hallelujah.

Like I said, I got internet on my phone and I've been playing around, emailing myself photos. So, here are a few I thought I'd share.


This is a little peek at my Thanksgiving outfit. Just a glimpse of my jeans, cardigan, and tank top.


This is my eye. This is also (probably) from Thanksgiving.


Here is my dog. He's sleeping on my bed with my British literature textbook.


This is a bit of my desk while I was writing that essay last Sunday. There is everything I need. Coke, chapstick, a pencil, highlighters, and papers.


I took this while I waiting for my on the road driving instructor to show up. Just my shoes, and a tiny bit of outfit.


I'm growing my nails out, in case you noticed. The polish is We'll Always Have Paris. It is so pretty.


This is just a stupid filler post, but I thought it would be better than nothing.

I'm doing some Christmas shopping tomorrow. I just have two people left to buy for! That is all I've got planned for my weekend so far. Hope everyone is doing well.
