In a kingdom by the sea...

I deeply appreciate my new shoes.

They are meant to take me to interesting, fascinating, strange, wondrous places!

It's only a matter of time for them to wake me in the middle of the night and wander away away away.

Needless to say, I am incredibly restless.

Oh the torture.

To what far away places to your thoughts wander?

In the Still of the Night

My class had a benefit dinner at school today. It was 50's themed. I had fun, but my heels were killing me by the end of the night. Oh you lovely ladies of the 50's. How did you ever deal with dresses and heels and lipstick?

I tried my friend's lipstick and it was a terrible experience. Only I can manage to put lipstick everywhere except my lips. Oh well, with practice maybe...

Happy Day-after-Valentine's Day.

Yesterday was pretty blase, nothing happened.

It wasn't even a Single's Awareness Day for me...

since I didn't even give a thought as to my love life.

Which is, at the moment, goose egg.

This weekend was supposed to be grand but family matters are in shambles so the weekend went downhill as well. Hope next year is better.

I tried making caramels but I think I burnt them.

Hahaha, isn't life wonderful??

Oh, and apparently Alexander McQueen's dead.

OT: Why is Les Mis such a great book??

It makes me sigh a thousand times.

pinky

Lately I've been having a pink and grey obsession. The combination is so delicate and feminine in my opinion. As for my new shoes, via my dear friend K, my wardrobe has been most accomodating for the gorgeous darlings.

(My madre, unsurprisingly, loathes their wild flamingo color. It's not their fault mama!)

Oh! And I've gotten a new bed frame! As you might have noticed, other than the lack of my bed frame, I've rearranged my room. My mattress is now quite elevated.

Oh Oh!

And another thing I have to mention, is that I currently attend an educational institution that requires its students (me) to wear uniforms. Mind you, I think I do look pretty neat in my uniform, but the fact that I must wear one five days a week prevents me from donning other parts of my wardrobe.

So I've decided that I shall begin posting my school outfits.

There.

getty

Had an adventure at the getty center today. I love free places. but the best moment was when I bought a delicious warm hotdog from the stand and gobbled my half with my cousin. Mmmmm. Sometimes art is too passive for me.

(I kid.)

I really love that Cezanne painting above; so bizzare and beautiful.

by lamp

Daylight faded far to quickly today, so I had to make do with artificial light. But I always thougth lamplight was beautiful. So is firelight. (Loved the movie.) This is the awesome possum buffalo plaid that I rescued from the Salvation Army. This is also the same buffalo plaid that my mother absolutely hates. She say muy feo(a)! It doesn't help that it has a small hole that sticks out in the back. Oh well. It is too comfy and versatile to let go. As you can barely see, I've worn it as a top AND a dress. Impressive little buffalo plaid! (Well, it's actually very large...) Oh, and it's WARM.
