With a little magic...

Soooo this is going to mostly be a photo-fun-filled post! Last night was Homecoming and it was so refreshing to not have to worry about anything but lookin' perty with some friends and music. I'm so excited to submit my Early Decision app in a few days!

And I just found out that I'm a semi-finalist of my first scholarship! Wish me g'luck at the interview this Saturday! I mentioned my blog (in both my scholarship and college app) so thank you guys for being there. My blog has really been valuable and I'm not sure what my life would be like without it. From Class of Fashion, to just life-posts like this, man, all I can say is, God is good.

And please do pray for my health. Everything except my health and my relationship with my mom has been great. Those are two big things, but all the good things have overshadowed them I guess. I've been hacking mucus all day and feeling like a Thermos - if that makes sense. My voice sounds like a broken harmonica and I sneezed in my tea twice today. They make for a good story right? ;) I'm sure you very much appreciated this journal.

Oh and other "fun" news. During the car ride to the dance, my friends and I were listening to this one song with lyrics that go "flash yo titties," (I promise that is not my normal music taste) and someone cut her off while driving so I shouted "everybody flash yo titties!" We didn't actually do it, but it was just.. great in the weirdest way. Sorry for the terrible grammar and what not. It's late, I'm sleepy, not a good combo.

Wow, this post is wordier than I thought. Anyway, here's some photos from da night and from spirit week ! I love school spirit and I love life! :D

That's my pops and me! We look so alike. :)

Magic Monday! (during spirit week)




I think I was actually tripping in this photo...

This photo came out super yellow so my friend (aka, big sista from anotha motha) editted it for me. I look extra Harry Potter-like. Cho Chang much? (if you have time, you should check out her flickr photos! she has some really fun 365 portrait thangs) ;)


PS. Sorry for not editing a lot of these photos! I just had to blog, so this is the best I could do! :) Thanks again for all the support! G'bless! :)

It's Not Unusual to Be Loved

So I borrowed a few very perty clothes from my friend Isabelle for my Video Communications course since I thought I was anchor this week. But I realized I wasn't so I basically wore pretty clothes all week for fun! I really liked this swapping thing, but I felt bad because I didn't lend her any of my clothes. Legit swapping must happen soon - I love it (well at least my share of it). xD

When I saw Isabelle wear this cardi, I immediately thought the bright color was super awesome. And I ensembled it with my fav leggings and one of my fav necklaces, creating a look that - I thought - resembled Alice in Wonderland. :]

And I took some pics around my high school. It was so awkward because while I'm posing on the other side of the hall, waiting for the camera timer to go, a kid - or my AP English teacher - would walk through the hall and I'd just twirl around in surprise, fixing my shirt and acting like I'm just chillin. Haha.

The photos that resulted are really some of my favorite for my outfit posts! I hope you think the same. :)

I don't want to be vain, but I was so excited about these photos and I loved editing them! I think this is one of my favorite posts because the self photo-shoot just turned out great. :) Isabelle's clothes must be some sort of photogenic charm thing, making all my photos look good - she does have a great photography skills. :)
