viva la love

I have no idea if "viva la love" is a phrase, but you get the gist. :) Valentine's Day may be annoying for all you single ladies (and I guess males...), but I really think it's an awesome day even for the people who go solo! I see it as a day of love and love doesn't have to be about a beau, at least I think so! Thus, I wish a Mucho Happy Valentine's Day to you! And it reminds me that even if my fabulous Prince Charming has yet to sweep me off my feet, at least there is still life, people, humanity, love all around. So, the least I can do on my Valentine's Day for my blog is send a little blog love to ya'll. :)

And I'm sorry for the rather large delay in my blogging during the last week. I really do have good excuses but I'm sure you don't want me to go into detail about that. I'll probably rant about it in an upcoming post.

For now, a week in photos (no particular order)! (and I got to take some of my outfit pics in a different place! I was really excited about that.) &At the end, a V-Day pic from me to you. ;-*

(click images to view in original size)

same shorts in two ways: 

 

sweater - Esprit (Germany or Austria?), shorts - Qua in South Korea, tights - J. Crew, flats - Cathy Jean

 

 

 I  got these new sparkly tights (only for $5 at American Eagle! score!)  and although my legs look like some kind of fat leech, I wasn't sure how to angle my camera to show the sparkly-ness of my tights. so there's that. And get ready for  an awesome outfit post with these tights later this week! My friend and  I are going match (matching is so fun)!:P

blazer - Ciel Boutique, tank top - Papaya, shorts - Qua (South Korea), tights - American Eagle, (shoes - I probably wore the same flats)

 

cardigan - banana republic, dress - urban outfitters, leggings - american eagle

lazy + cozy look. hoho.

 

jacket - ?, scarf - also ? but I think Macy's, jeans - it! jeans from Nordstrom (Kids! oh yeah)

 

 

shirt- GAP, cardigan - Banana Republic, skirt - store in South Korea, leggings - Anthropologie 

And most of all, Happy Valentine's Day everyone!  

<3,

erin :)

song of the moment -
falling for you - colbie callait (it's cheesy but what can i say? oh so catchy.)

PS. NYFW has been so fantaz! Watch out for a post later this week with some of my fav New York Fashion Week picks. :]

sparklers only burn for so long

it's been about 2 weeks into second semester, and life is alright! i love not worrying about turning college apps, but i do wish i got to hear back from colleges sooner! i can't wait til the end of march/early april. seems like such a long wayz a way. and to think that two months after i hear from colleges, i'll be graduating-i'll have reached the end of my high school career. wow. well, i'll save that talk for when i actually get there.

for now, i've been enjoying reading frankenstein! i actually love the readings that we've been reading in ap english this year. i only wish i had more time to read some of the works. i'm not sure if my english teacher reads my blog--probably doesn't but i do wonder, because i'm following her blog, and apparently someone visits my blog every other day through her blog...anyway--but i have to admit, i didn't even read hamlet. and now we're going to come back to it in a few weeks. egad! haha. we also read heart of darkness, but i was like 'what the asdgjkl;a?!' when i read it because i didn't have enough time to actually read it. it seems like a book i'd actually really love though. so yay for reading :D

and finally, an outfit post! i have about 4 outfits waited to be posted (i even have one from like november that was actually taken in different scenery, but who knows when i'll post that..)

hope you like it! i had a lot of fun with this outfit and with the photos. :]

PS Check out Kenzie's Blog Love post! I got to be featured there! Kenzie's blog is also definitely worth checking out! I love her ouftits, her stories and they way she edits them pics. :)
I'm currently working on a 'showcasing other bloggers' thing too, so stay tuned brothas. :]

shirt - armani exchange; skirt - store in south korea; tights - jcrew

(i also wore one of my fav pairs of shoes; they're dark gray flats with colorful bead-like adornments but i didn't get a pic of that! actually, most of my outfit posts don't show my shoes because well, i don't really like my mom knowing i blog, and we don't wear shoes inside the house, so.. that's kind of that :// i wish i had a pic to show you though!.. oh wait! actually here's a pic from an old post! wow that was a big tangent...)

and GPOYThursday:

song of the moment -

Rocky Votolato - Sparklers [Official Music Video] from Undertow on Vimeo.

A quick (extremely random) post: "if you smile, then that should set the tone"

So judging from the poll that some people participated (thank you to those who did!), media/artsy pics was one of the top things you guys wanted to say. I dont know if I'm qualified to say "you guys" when 8 people voted--I dont want to sound demeaning! I'm actually really truly excited 8 people voted!!--but 'you all' enjoy the photos. They're all basically very random things found on my tumblr. Happy Wednesday!
