And the seasons they go round and round

I am so incredibly affected by the seasons, so lately my mood has been pretty down because I'm so bored of the cold snow and just want summer! Today was a snow day though so I didn't let the winter weather get me down. I took advantage of the white world around me and had some fun taking pictures with my sister and hanging out with friends. Spring will be here soon enough so I'm just trying to enjoy the winter because I know I'll miss it as soon as it's gone...

An 'Insider's' Perspective

I have never seen this much snow before. Ever. I wasn't willing to leave the heated comfort of my house, so excuse the window screen in the way of a couple but I wanted to take a couple of pictures anyways to capture the craziness and remember the day the world turned white.





Also, I just found out that my neighbor chopped off three of his fingers in the snow blower today! I hope the don't turn up on my lawn....

Stuck in a Rut

"You’re only a teenager. You’re not yet married, so go with the flow, laugh tons, use manners, and try something new. Will you just kiss him already? Trust your feelings, spend your cash, introduce yourself, take a chance, study hard, seek happiness, and regret nothing. Don’t laugh at people’s dreams, make a wish on 11:11, challenge yourself, take pictures and appreciate the memories. You should make time to dance in your underwear, and learn from the past. Play dress up and then take all your clothes off. Have the time of your life."

My life has never been exhilarating but most of the time I am able to keep myself entertained with nonsense. Being home sick last night left me with nothing. All I could do was think, but there was nothing I could actually do. I came across the quote written above while on tumblr and it got me excited for life again. I can't wait to be back in the world with my friends (even if it is at school)! I'm inspired to do whatever I want. I'm going to limit my stress, enjoy my life, and work hard for what I want without holding back.

MEOW

Cheetah Girl

If you were to look at my tumblr right now you would either think I was crazy, tacky, freakishly obsessed, or awesome. I've loved cheetah print ever since I can remember but my obsession has grown in the past few years since it came into style (forcing my sister to finally approve, and making the pattern much more available).

The other night I was feeling a little down due to stresses of all sorts, but as weird as it sounds, looking at all the fashionable girls in their cheetah print helped cheer me up. The next day I was sure to wear a bit of my favorite pattern in the inside of my coat and every time I saw it I felt a little better. Cheetah's are the king cats. They have confidence and the out-there bold coat they wear can only be pulled off with the help of confidence. I love the print for this reason and I'm pretty sure I always will.

Sagittarius Horoscope 1/6/11

"What is happiness, Sagittarius? The answer is, of course, open to interpretation. However, one thing it is not is a constant state of euphoria. Happiness exists because sadness and a host of other emotions also exist. You wouldn't be able to recognize it if it weren't contrasted by some darker, less appealing feelings. Be grateful for the challenges you have faced and the lessons you have learned, even those that were not pleasant. They have given you an ability to recognize end enjoy true happiness. This is a year to put things in better perspective, and to revel in your joy."
*Daily Horoscope

I liked this one.

"The Faith Uniform"

One of my best friends, Faith, grew up all her life having to wear a uniform to school. That changed this year when she transferred to my school and since then she has expressed her style in a uniform of her own.

She often wears an outfit composed of two basic items....

A tight solid print mini dress or skirt
(Forever 21 - around $8.00)
With a loose cropped sweater on top
(Forever 21 - $17.80)
This is me in the Faith Uniform
I curled my extensions and added a Michal Golan necklace
I completed the outfit with sheer black stockings and my simple black ugg boots
Personal style is so important but it was fun to dress up like somebody else for the day!

Fit for a Princess

Counties Dress Ideas
Counties Dress Ideas
Counties is a black tie dance where girls wear gowns with escorts who wear tuxes and nobody can get away with looking like the usual slob they are. I've never been to a formal dance and my main excitement about going is getting a dress! I have been thinking about and shopping nonstop for the perfect dress. I probably will not end up with any of these because I don't plan on ordering one online, but these are just some ideas I can keep in mind while shopping. I would love to wear a light pink dress and one that is very flowy, not stiff. Number 4 is my favorite but I love all of these so hopefully I can find some similar ones when I venture into the land of malls and department stores this weekend.

New years eve did not go quite as planned....or maybe it did? Tracks changed and plans got screwed up but in the end my horoscope was right; I had a great time. My friends were all I needed to have fun and we made sure it happened.
My new year's resolution this year was to not have any resolutions (besides that one of course). Just like everyone else in the world, I can never keep them and I disappoint myself. I put enough pressure on myself already and this is I am determined to let go a little more. I need to learn to relax and have fun because in the long run, 2011 is probably not going to affect my life too much. Or maybe it will? But I guess we'll just have to wait and see...
