I just finished all my homework, and I can finally say that I'm caught up on all the work I missed when I was absent on Friday. Now, I can relax and go to bed, just as soon as I decide on an outfit for tomorrow.
Too bad my mind is going blank.
Perhaps an episode or two of The Nanny will stimulate it. And how couldn't those heart shaped buttons inspire me?
Royal Rajah Ruby. This OPI nail color is so perfect for fall. I got a manicure while I was in Philadelphia and I'm totally obsessed with the color. I'm also quite fond of that ring I'm wearing. If you have any other suggestions, as far as dark nail colors go, let me know.
My new bracelets. I got these while I was away, and I totally love them. I wore the sort of mosaic one right away, and I can't wait to wear the other. they were both around $15 separately, but there was a good deal and I got them for $24.
Scarves. I've loved scarves for awhile, and I'm sure I've made it quite clear in past posts. I got this one at Old Navy. (I know I could shop there anytime, but there was a giant one in Philadelphia.) I think it was $12.50, and it was so worth it. The color is a gorgeous shade of teal. I was so enamored with it that I wore it out of the store, by the end of the day my outfit had really evolved.
My dog! I missed him a lot while I was away, and judging by his greeting, he missed me too. He (obviously) isn't the best model, and was quite a pain to get a photo of, but I love him anyway.
[Unrelated: I need to pick a book for a project. Wuthering Heights or Jane Eyre? Or neither?]
I'm leaving tomorrow for my weekend trip, and I won't be back until Sunday afternoon. So, do not expect an update until Sunday.
I still have homework I need to get out of the way before leaving, and most importantly, I still have to pack! I'll only be away from home for a few days, but I am known to over pack. I am going to try to keep it light. Just 2-3 pairs of versatile shoes that are easy to walk in, a pair of jeans, 2 cardigans, a dress, and a few v-necks. But then of course I have to factor in my makeup and accessories. It is a lot to consider!
Before I go off and get busy packing, I'll leave you with a few things to enjoy over the weekend.

PS: Half way through writing this post I spotted a giant spider scurrying around near my closet (and the door was open). I haven't mentioned this on here before, but I'm really terrified of spiders. Even after they're dead. So, now I've managed to smash it with a shoe, but it still needs to be scraped off the floor. Do you think somebody would mind if I woke them up to clean it up for me?
I originally had an outfit post planned for today, but when I took the photos they turned out really dreadful. I guess I'm still getting a hang of things, next time I'll just have my dad take them for me. (He is the camera expert in the family.)
I did manage a photo of some of today's accessories. (Admittingly, not a very good one!) Another studded bracelet, silver bangles, and my favorite watch. I can't say I've ever used it to tell time, but I love wearing watches. Especially big, chunky, manly ones. I've been considering doing my own style basics/things everyone should have in their wardrobe type post, and if I were to go through with it, I would definitely feature a watch as one of the items. I think they're the perfect thing to polish off an outfit.

I know the posts have been a little lacking lately, and this one is no exception. I'll be getting back on track soon, and I'd appreciate what you never tire of seeing on blogs.
Besides more of the typical, I've also considered maybe bringing a few things I love from youtube over to blogging. For instance, I love watching videos on youtube where people share their makeup collection or show their favorite shoes. Maybe I'd do some sort of picture equivalent to these types of videos on the blog.
Thoughts and opinions are love. Maybe I'll develop a poll to make this simpler, but in the mean time just leave a comment with what you enjoy seeing, because I'm happy to oblige. I don't want to just keep posting pictures of my wrist decorations. I try to blog everyday, but I also don't want half those posts to feel like they're fillers until I find something important to blog about.

New episodes of some of my favorite shows are on tonight, including Glee. In the mean time, watch this video.
And this is only sort of related, because a new episode of America's Next Top Model is on tonight, but anyone see Tyra on Larry King? What did you think? I thought it was a good interview, and despite the fact that she might be a bit of a narcissist, she came off as charming. Also, I was surprised to see her real hair is a lot nicer than I expected it to be.
The bracelets I wore today, and the mess I created getting ready for school (including my unfinished granola bar).
The bracelets had a bit of a studded theme. The white and yellow studded ones, as well as two plain silver ones are from Forever21. The plain silver studded ones are from Walmart. The thinner plain silver ones (without studs) are from Kohls, and the big pink studded one is from a little boutique I went to while on vacation a year ago.
The mess is courtesy of me.
On to other things.
The fashion club I joined at school last year has since fell apart, but I've made myself a member of quite a few clubs. I signed up for four originally; international, leo, student light, and amnesty international. Today my friend had me join another with her, book club. A lot of the members were into science fiction and Twilight type books, which are so not my thing, but hopefully we can fit in talking about a few good beach reads or something else enjoyable.
This week is dragging by so slowly, I'll be very happy when it is over. Now I need to go clean up that mess and snack on brie. (I love brie so much.)
If you have any blog sugggestions, I'm, as always, happy to hear them!
