iv'e got all of the time in the world
Yeah so. Just another boring day in the life of a dull fourteen year old. But hey, my weekend starts tonight considering there isn't school tomorrow, and the computer will have to do... (: Tonight I've decided to browse some homecoming dresses, because I'm really in need of one... haha.
Dillards.com
I love Dillards. Nuff said. Anyways, I'm also doing this with Macy's soon because I am actually in the search for a cute homecoming dress. Though I don't have $150 to spend, I can still find some cheaper dresses still looking great.... right?
1) Jessica McClintock Sequin Bustier Dress; Ohkay, I know like two seconds ago I just said how I don't have $150 to spend on a dress, but if I did, this would be my first choice. I love the skirt and the sequin detail and it's a lot to handle knowing I can't ever wear this beautiful piece. :/
2) Hailey Logan Strapless Dress; Awh, it's navy and chiffon and like $109! Super cute.
3) Hailey Logan One-Shouldered Dress; Oh my darling, I just love this color and the crisscross pleating. $89.
4) Teeze Me Strapless Pickup Dress; THIS IS THE CUTEST THING! After looking at the whole dress section, I've decided that because of my lack of cash to get the sequin bustier (sob!) I'll go with this one, because ultimately, it is adorable and not bad for a second choice! $79 and it is soon to be mine!
5) Jodi Kristopher Pickup Dress; Well isn't this just adorable! The skirt is to die for and the lacework is simply stunning. Too bad I'm trying to stay away from black colors in dresses this year. :/
Tell me which one you like the most? I'm thinking about going with four... but who knows? Maybe when I'm shopping I'll find something entirely different. All pictures from Dillards.com and title is from All I Can Do by Jump5... haha.

southside can you switchboard ?
Well, with about two-three hours on my hands, I've decided to post a little about my thoughts on a collection of fashion for fall 2010. This time around, I'll blog about McQueen. ♥ & Afterward I'll go to Julie's and nerd out watching reruns of glee. ♥
The tops, gloves, and shoes above were just a few of my likings found in this collection; though the whole collection was appealing, a few of the outfits were a bit different than the style I feel McQueen was trying to portray. Below are about nine of the sixteen outfits he had been working on around the time of his death, and I did find over half of his work this time around flattering.
Alexander McQueen
{RIP- February 10, 2010}
This is my favorite of the entire collection; a cloak-like outerwear piece. It is very elegant and Victorian-styled with modern touches like a belt and collar. The fabric is perfectly detailed and elaborate, while the colors just blend together so nicely- my mouth keeps watering.

He really did an excellent job this time around. Even on a sad note, it was a great final collection for him to work on.

i wish i was photogenic,
Then I'd become a model and get paid a lot. (: Not really, but hey, heres some pictures of me in some cool clothes I like ! Enjoy, and maybe comment? I'll return the favor, promise xx ♥
I had to use the separators for this one because without it it just looked weird. (Sorry!) Haha. Anyways, the shoes are Converse high tops, obviously. The tights are Forever 21, and the shorts are Roxy. The shirt is from my mom's closet with some brand Iv'e never heard of, but I think it's really cute. ♥
Last outfit for today. (: The dress was given to me by my mom, which is from American Rag. The purse is from target, and the necklace was about five dollars from forever 21. ♥
Please comment ! All pictures by me. (:
EDIT; Could someone maybe help me make my own layout? Or at least code one for me? I am pretty new at this.. haha
Uhm, why the heck are these pictures so small? Anyways, I reallllly like this outfit. The top I bought at Delias for about eight dollars (clearance, haha), and the skirt was about seventeen from Forever 21. (: The ring and tights (which you can't even see, apologies) are also from Forever 21. ♥

we're sick like animals we play pretend,
Good evening everyone. Sorry for not making this a fashion post, Iv'e just got other things to talk about. xxx ♥
I start dancing at the studio again next week. I'm really excited to start up ballet again. I love poms, but free movement is sorta more my thing. ( Our team got first in our first competition, by the way ) Anywho, I'd also like to start on a solo soon, and I was thinking about either using a Vanessa Carlton song or some piano piece. (:
Iv'e also started writing again. In the works is a pretty cool story about some kingdoms and what seems to be like a neverending war. Maybe someday I'll post a teaser or something.
Well, Iv'e got to go study for a quiz tomorrow, I promise the next update will feature some cute outfits or something. xx ♥ Title is from the song Animals by Neon Trees !
