Put On A New Record.

I'm sad to see that I went from my goal of posting everyday in September, to making six posts in October (including this one.) That definitely wasn't what I wanted.

I do have things to post about, and I don't want to be a broken record and talk about how busy I am. I probably promise to post more often too much, but I'd like to make a 2-3 posts a week promise to myself. I think that's fair! I'll be starting next week, which just so happens to be my birthday week. (My birthday is November 1st.)

I don't want to go on and on, so that's all! See you next week!

Don't Let It Go There.

I am currently trying to get through some of my college applications, but I thought I'd take a moment to blog.

I've been cranking out recommendation forms, transcript requests, applications, and essays. There is still a lot to be done, but I'm definitely starting to feel like college is more 'real' now that things are actually starting to happen.

I have homework I really need to be working on, but I wanted to share my recent college visits with you! Over the weekend I visited two fashion schools in New York; the Fashion Institute of Technology and LIM. I didn't know what to expect, but I ended up liking them both.

Both schools have good internship programs and had different appealing qualities. I liked that FIT's campus was very compact with the dorms and the school buildings all right nearby, whereas LIM's dorms are a subway ride away from the other buildings.

I'm still conflicted about if I'm okay with passing up on a traditional college experience for a fashion school, but then again, I know what I want to do, and where else but New York?

There is lots to think about, and as always I am dreadful with decisions! If anyone goes to one of these schools I'd love to hear more!

Usually Prefer Raspberries.

I usually try to stick to fashion posts but occasionally a little bit of life and technology drift in there. Which is why I figured it would be okay to share my new love with you all!

On Friday, I headed to the Sprint store in hopes of upgrading my phone. I had the LG Rumor for two years, and although I hadn't had many problems with it like I know some people did, I was hoping for something that would allow me to browse the internet a little better.

Originally, I was planning to get a normal messaging phone, and I didn't want to spend more than $50 after rebates. About half way through my time looking around the store we realized that our plan already has the data plan you need for smartphones (I guess my brother's phone uses it.) Which meant I quickly made my way over to the Blackberries.

And that is how I ended up with my new Blackberry Curve 3G. I decided on getting the purple one after a little debate. When I got my old phone I chose white because I thought I might tire of a color after a little while, but I realized eventually I wouldn't have minded a color. And purple is just more fun than the metallic gray option!

So, that about sums it up. I've been loving this phone. If you would like to suggest any free Blackberry applications to me, please do! I'm currently loving the Pandora application. (I know I could use it on the computer, but this is just better.) I'm also a fan of Uber Twitter (follow me.)

Is This Really Happening To Me?

I was contemplating what I would post about while I got off topic again during independent study. I considered all the posts I had planned and realized they all involved something I didn't have with me (a project I made, my camera, my room, etc.) Then I realized that it was already the middle of October. It's hard to believe, but that got me thinking that my birthday is coming up (it's in the beginning of November.) Last year around my birthday I posted my wishlist, and I decided I'd keep with the one time tradition and go for it again.

This years wishlist is as follows;
  • Michael Kors Tortoise Shell Watch
  • Vera Bradley All-In-One Wristlet
  • NARS Turkish Delight Lip Gloss
  • Drive Me Crazy DVD
  • Beverly Hills 90210 Season 4
  • OPI Burlesque Collection Polishes

The reason there are two watches in the mini wishlist collage is because I haven't decided which to ask for. They're pretty similar (although there is a $55 price difference) but I think I need to see the size difference in person before a decision can be made.

If I end up receiving the watch that would be my main present, but I wanted to include a few other things on my list just in case.

I usually am not a big fan of Vera Bradley pieces but practicality has gotten the best of me. Something that can go on my wrist and can hold chapstick, my phone, money, and my ID? Perfection! I'll probably end up buying this for myself with birthday money. However, if you do know of something from another brand that would organize and hold the same things as this wristlet, you know I'm open to suggestions.

Everyone should know I'm a lover of the nineties. You say tacky midriff baring tops and I say awesome florals and Doc Martens. Which is why I always feel my birthday is the perfect time to add to my Beverly Hills 90210 collection. And Drive Me Crazy is one of the best high school movies there is.

Since OPI has such a great success with their Alice in Wonderland collection's glitter polishes, they're releasing six new glitter polishes in the holiday collection. I'm a fan of the purple based glitter and the blue based glitter. These are actually set to release the day after my birthday, but maybe an IOU will be in order.

And lastly, who doesn't love lip gloss? Turkish Delight is one of NARS most popular shades and although it wouldn't be a must have, I wouldn't mind knowing I was wearing Kim Kardashian's favorite lip gloss.

Happy Thursday!

PS: If you have a Michael Kors watch I'd love to know which one it is and how you feel about the size!

Greetings and Salutations.

I've come off of my stint of posting everyday by not posting at all.
I guess being busy really has gotten the best of me.

But I do have a few post topics for this week, and I'll be back into a few-posts-a-week mode!

The Mighty.

It's hard to believe it's already October. It hasn't started to get cold here yet, but that hasn't stopped me from breaking out my boots.

The end of October also means it's time for me to look back on my goal. The goal was to make a post on this blog everyday of September, just like I used to do when I first started blogging. I didn't want to get sucked into the habit of not posting when I start getting busy with school. I ended up posting 28/30 days. That gives me a 93%.

I don't have the same goal for October. This month I want to focus on getting a few quality posts up each week, rather than weak posts everyday.

No Biting.


The MAC Venomous Villains collection is being released tomorrow. The collection is based on Disney villains, and has plenty of fun packaging to match the theme. I'm hoping to get Bad Fairy nail polish and the Revenge is Sweet lipglass. Of course I want to know if there is anything you're interested in getting!
