PSAT= perfect shoe acquisition time. (A shopping list)
Hi all (or none), The PSAT’s are upon us, and my usually rambunctious group of classmates has degenerated into a mass of catatonic and exhausted recluses. Yesterday, we all filed into the gym and a representative from Kaplan college prep came and tried to lead us through proper test-taking strategy–the overall consensus was that the ...

Staples vs. Signature Pieces: Can They Be One and the Same?
Hi all (or none), So today I’m catching up on all the WWDs that I didn’t have time to read this week. September 26 (okay, I’m a little more behind than I thought) was a “milestone” issue, where the bulk of the newspaper is devoted to one particular brand that is celebrating a big anniversary. ...

Sunset Strip
Sometimes I can’t decide how the photos for this blog are taken (usually by my mom as I’m waiting for the bus at 7:30 AM) but sometimes I get some really good ones. I like these! Dress: Rodarte for Target, tights: Hue, boots: Bloomingdales’ Corso Como, sunglasses: Urban Outfitters, necklace: handmade by my mom We’ve ...

Flower Girl
Hi all (or none, I have a sneaking suspicion no one reads this)! It’s been too long since I have updated. School started and life got crazy. I went into AP Chem like I planned and it’s been a little more challenging than I thought it would be…they say it’s the hardest class you’ll ...

Squallpocalypse
This has been a really eventful week that I promise I will write lots about upon my return to Wisconsin…I was so excited to take my mom’s nice camera to NYC with us but unfortunately forgot the connector cord on the kitchen table. So I’ve taken all these great pictures of New York and have ...

“Just a small gathering”
What I wore to what I was promised would be a “small gathering” hosted by my best friend’s family. Around 11 or so she and I took control of the music situation… we had a real moment with an inebriated woman who stumbled into the back room where we were, rapped an entire Eminem song, ...

What I Wore 8 14 11
Shopping with mommy! Sunglasses: Urban Outfitters, Necklace: gift from mom, Top: thrifted [from Hollister], Skirt: thrifted, Cardigan: Costco (LOL), Purse: thrifted Coach ($15!), Bangle: Juicy Couture, Shoes: hand-me-down from mom Good fashion is all about the mix of high and low. Or, in my case, mass-market entry level designer and Costco.

I SURVIVED
Greetings! I finished chemistry camp. After a grueling last week and a couple all-nighters, I’m happy to say that I aced the final exam and have been given credit for Honors Chemistry at my school- I’ll be going into AP in the fall. Ironically, my art class [reason I took this in the first place] ...

Stephen Wiltshire and contemplation on disability
Hi all! Chemistry camp has been going really well– it feels good on some level to be so busy. This is definitely not easy…I’ve found that I have to work a lot harder than most of the students here. My problem is that I can’t retain information unless I understand it thoroughly, so I have ...

What I wore (and some early morning babble)
These next few weeks will be a little scattered for me, as I am at a large college in the US (security measures, haha) taking an Honors Chemistry class condensed into three weeks. Why am I subjecting myself to this torture, you may ask? The unfortunate answer is that at my academically-oriented school, the only ...
