3 Weeks till School...

Well really 2 weeks and 4 days... pshh, I'm not counting!
Haha, actually, for the past few nights I haven't been able to get lots of sleep. I lie down in bed and it takes me literally two hours to get knocked out. I sleep at 12 and I wake up at 8-.- Today, I even woke up at 6! I think it's mainly because I keep thinking about school. I'm really excited for this new year! My favorite part of back to school is shopping for school supplies and clothes and of course seeing my friends too. But this year, I'm taking two college classes (Spanish I & OT) in addition to my regular high school classes. I'm nervous but since I have friends in the class, it's not super scary. I have a some other things to look forward to this year:
1) Yearbook staff: Graphic Designer/Photographer
2) Jr Sr
3) meeting new people
4) more memories with my besties
5) Artist Series
6) school events

***One thing I'm definitely not looking forward to is the ACT exan:(

Last year was awesome, even though I had some regrets. I hope this year will be epic and even better than last year!

My style...

Ok, I have no clue what my fashion sense is! It's all over the place... I kinda wish it had a category but I guess it's cool to be unique at the same time.
How would I describe my style?
Hmm... I would say cute, girly, and when I wanna dress up- classy.

-I love formal and preppy (well Pinteresty, not exactly Lilly Pulitzer). I think tucking tops or collared shirts into skirts is so classy. If the skirt is flowy and A-line, it gives me a young cute look, but if the skirt is a pencil skirt, I look grown up and a bit sassy.

-But I am also drawn toward floraly, bohemian, tribal kind of items. I would have to say that my favorite brand at Macy's is American Rag. Their comfy sweaters and floral dresses are to die for. I just wish they were more affordable:( That's why I wait for sales;)

-Vintage inspired pieces make me want to jump into a time machine and head back to the 1930's! And retro bathing suits just need to be in my closet!

-I can be casual, of course. Recently, I've been loving the athletic/laid back boyish look that comes from sneakers/keds. I just got a new pair of navy keds look alike at Old Navy for $13! I love it with a pair of denim shorts and baseball tee inspired top. I bet that outfit would look really cute too with a baseball cap.

-Fabrics & Patterns: I would say the material and patterns I'm into are girly. I like tribal and bohemian, but crochet, lace, and ditsy floral are my favorite. Stripes and chevron (mainly non-clothing though) are a nice addition to my wardrobe too.


One thing I'm not is punk or Cali trendy. Sure, I have pieces that are "in style" but you wouldn't catch me in a black studded leather jacket, a crop top or brallete that "gives enough coverage to be appropriate", or high waisted distressed short shorts. I don't think any of those are classy or give the right impression that I'm Christ's child.

Whatever our fashion sense is, we need to remember that when someone looks at us, they should see Jesus!

Birthday Box





I don't know about you but sometimes I don't know what to put my friends birthday gifts in. Sometimes I help my wallet and just reuse a gift bag given to me, but a couple of months ago, I saw some cute hat boxes at TJ Maxx. They add something different to a gift--they can even be used to keep memorabilia and photos later on! Some things I would have loved to have added to this gift: tissue paper & a big bow on top (instead I taped a polaroid birthday card).
