Break It

I think time has come for me to take a break for this little hobby of mine.

I have a lot of tests and essays due this week. :(

I have to focus on writing a personal essay for Autobiography Reading and Writing (Lame class name but fun).

It's about this website called This I Believe.

It's super cool idea but it's been hard for me to write about my general philosophy.

So I want to read about what you believe in, this is not religious but more of way to state how you live your daily life.

The idea was started more than 50 years ago. The most brilliant scholars and just average people have sent in their letter to be read on a national radio by Edward R. Murrow all the back in the 1950's.

I love this idea so much. I really want to hear some thoughts.

My professor says he might send anyone whom wants it to be sent to the organization.

This one is one of my favorites.

Lastly, I just want to thank everyone for your comments. Some really make my day.

Frustrated...

I'm in love with these shoes but....

Whenever I try to wear them I just feel they are not going well with what I currently own; my outfits for one reason or another does not go well with them.

I've made numerous attempts to brings these boots back into my daily wardrobe. I just haven't any idea on how to wear these lovelies.

I'm sure a dress or a skinny jeans would look nice. I just need some advice, I'm getting irritated with these boots.

Don't you just hate these moments when your brains freezes and you can't think of a decent outfit?

Anyways, I still haven't told my friend, about how I don't want to go to his party. I'm still nervous.

Bye, will write more soon.

I Laugh out Loud

Donatella, what can be done to persuade people to become more interested in fashion? Where I live, fashion is almost a taboo subject. —Carlos Velasco, Omaha

Carlos, we all have to do our bit, however small. So if you love fashion, be proud of the fact and show people how it improves your life and self-esteem. Maybe they will then understand what it can do. Otherwise, maybe I just need to come to Omaha. . (Read more here)

Only cause the thought of that women coming to the same city I lived would be the greatest thing ever!

It's all so true, most Nebraskans are clueless to fashion. Magazines, like Vogue and Elle, are barely touched at the Borders I frequently visit. It's not that many aren't interested in fashion but just many don't have the resources or the publicity to expand. Also many people from Omaha has a certain style that can be easily broken down. Maybe I should write about that.

Recently Omaha had a fashion week, I didn't go but my bestie attended it and told me she was impressed by the designers. I read a few articles in the local papers and I recently saw one of the designers started selling her clothes in her vintage boutique, that I'm really in love with .

I'm very intrigued to see who else sees fashion as becoming part of the Omaha scene. We already gained recognition from the music world (Conor Oberst?)

My Life

This is what happens when I'm out of school. I make pretty collages on polyvore.

I'm in dire need of a party. I want to get a little dressed up, I want to at least put on some crazy, sexy make-up.

My best friend and his girlfriend are throwing a party, and you think I be excited.

Wrong!! He's having a costume party, and he is just inviting kids from high school. A few I really do like will likely be attending. I feel bad because I honestly don't want to go.

I feel he's putting me in an awkward situation.

Due to that fact, he's throwing the party with his girlfriend, whom has invited some annoying and trashy girlfriends. I've known these girls since high school and they have no class. I really cannot tolerate being inside a room with them.

I also don't feel comfortable because this is the type of party I should bring a date. I don't have one. It's makes me feel sad, considering even those trashy girls all typically have boyfriends whom they are bringing.

I don't know why I'm feeling so unappealing. I'm very social person and I do get attention from guys. But none have really taken an interest in me in a romantic way. I'm not sure why. This is all so puzzling for me.

So I'm asking any one, should I go?

ps. Sorry if I'm depressing you. I've just been pondering a lot lately and I have to let some things out.

Thanks, Anna

Swearing

My mom wants me to work on cleaning my dirty little mouth.

I swear to much, I'm sorry kids. I'm so boring lately, my whole life revolves around school.

Moving on....

I'm so the not the kind of girl to wear a button down or even wide length jean pants (Sorry Rachael Zoe).

But I thought I give them a try. I feel very proper and preppy. I'm not really preppy, but kids think I am due the amount of times I've worn skirts or dresses.

But I do really like to wear my tutu, even though this was just me hanging around my house. I think I finally am getting over those stupid critics at school and I plan on wearing this to classes soon.

I totally get how Cocorosa feels.

EDIT: Thanks so much Chantal.
It's hard for to get up and not throw on a pair of jeans and a hoodie. (that's a typical day for most of classmates) Sometimes I wonder that's my style is what throws people off. I talk about Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton, my peers are all like WTF is she talking about? I want to fit in but I'm not going to stop liking style and fashion.

Nebraska has some people that have some interest but they all seem to want to limit themselves. This is why I started blogging. My best friend doesn't even understand why I network like this.

WHY ARE MY IMAGES NOT BEING ADDED?

Here's me just messing around. I felt a lot better, after such an awful week.


Once again I like to thanks those for such great comments.

Quick Post

I'm suppose to working on my 4-page paper about Jim Crow laws but....

I really need to know where I can find these boots. They are quite lovely and lace up boots are always more comfy for me.

Also I'm really wanting to buy some pants. But I have two big problems. I'm only 5'1" but it's easy to hem my pants. My main problem is that I'm a size 2/4; which is damn near impossible for me to find. (I'm serious, most stores only get a box or two of those and they go fast) I'm not a typically size 2/4, I have a more curvy backside but a small waistline. Any one of my fellow female bloggers have issues with pants?

That's why I rarely wear pants/ jeans. I'm stuck with only 5 pairs of jeans and one pair of black slacks.

BTW, thanks for your help. I really appreciate everyones help and advice. You all are so nice. I hope everyone having a good week.

GUESS WHAT!!!

I SAW WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE!!!!!

It was free showing, it was super crowded. Mostly parents and their little children.

It was so beautiful. All the angles and the background made the film.

I was really impressed by the actors, mostly by the Wild Things. I felt like I could reach out and touch them. I also wanted to give Max the biggest hug.

But I will say this, I saw many parents pack of their kids and leave in the middle of the film. I think it was because of the underlying messages in the film. I don't think a child would understand those messages. One of the scenes that talked about what happens after becoming dust and the idea of the end of the world came up numerous times. I can understand their offense but I don't think it was necessary to remove their children.

I feel all warm and fuzzy. Go see it. I'll probably go again.

ps. I didn't dress up. :(

It Snowed Today.

You did read that right.

I woke up in complete awe. I heard it was only suppose to be a dusting

I even took some photos to prove it did happen. I love the snow but this is way too early. Also the snow is almost gone.

I've been slacking on posting this outfit.

Sorry, I just can't seem to focus my camera very well.

I wore it to class on Friday and then I went shopping!

I bought a knit dress and two button blouses.

Isn't my dog just the cutest?

Not really, he's very grumpy and he prefers my dad over me. :(

Shit. I Think I Just Died.

I just saw these, I screamed. I pretty sure the kids around me at the university think I'm crazy.

"This is fucking crazy bananas" as Rachael Zoe would say.

Paris, Je t'aime

Sigh, I wish I was in Paris. All the lovely people hanging out in cafes, and walking to the next show through the parks. Pardon my day-dreaming, I'm so not in the mood for classes. I'm dying for a break.

Today, I dressed very un-Parisian.

Not a single bit of black.

I felt very country, in my ruffle skirt, which I had for years but I only recent discovered in the back of my closet. I also wore this lovely beige and cream stripe sweater. Also did you see I started wearing my flat brown boots again? I'm totally addicted to them.

I'm sorry, I think everyone is sick of seeing this, but I had to post the awesomeness of this Balmain jacket.

It's official, I've caved into Balmania.

(style.com)

As for Paris, I'm have to agree with the tackiness that came from the Ungaro show. I'm not really disappointed, Lindsey Lohan is exactly what one should be calling a style icon. Oh, I went there.

Lastly, I'm in love with Stella McCartney. Not only does she have the coolest dad ever but her clothing line is stunning. I love those short and the ruffled, bright dresses at the end. (Is it obvious that I have an obsession with ruffles?)

What other shows from Paris is everyone talking about?
