There Must Be Something More

There Must Be Something More

So, I'm head over heels in love with my new shorts from the H&M Garden Collection. :) Although they tend to make my butt look big, I can't get over the paper bag waist! Even my waitress from a restaurant I went to that night complimented me on my shorts. On the other hand, some guy I know who lives on my floor told me "the 1940's called...they want their shorts back".

(Of course, the obligatory silly picture for you guys. There were a few crazier ones but i'm saving those for an upcoming post.)

Sorry for the picture heavy post. I just couldn't narrow them down to a few since I loved the cherry blossoms in all the pictures! I swear, there's nothing that makes me happier than seeing the trees full of pink and white. They remind me that spring is finally here.

I might take a trip into the city this Saturday. One of my best friends has to go to the Met for one her classes and I'm tagging along since I haven't been there in a really, really long time. I can't wait to bring my camera and be a tourist, even though I've already been to the city countless times. :) 

Oh! And a quick shout out to the lovely Selma from Lilylicious Bisous for the I Love Your Blog Award! :)

On My Own

April 3, 2010

On My Own

It's beyond beautiful out today and can you believe it's supposed to be like this for the rest of the week? Everyone's studying outside instead of sitting indoors. Unfortunately I need to work on my laptop so I'm inside with my fan on. Hopefully later I'll be able to venture out for a photo shoot with my photographer before the sun sets.

So I took these shots on my own. My photographer was still still sleeping (he sleeps in quite often) so I decided to venture out with my handy dandy tripod and took some shots. I figured I'd get used to taking self-portraits again since I won't be living in the same dorm as him next year. I never have time for my photography anymore since I'm not taking my photography class anymore so it was nice bonding with my camera (who still needs a name, any suggestions? My last one was named Johann since Johann Pachelbel wrote the Canon, and I have a Canon). :)

Back to my statistics! I've gotta pull up my grade and finish this computer assignment so I can go frolic outside later. There shouldn't be so much work to do when the weather is nice. :(

Uhhh...

April 2, 2010

Uhhh...

So I don't think any of you guys realized...but the outfit in my last post was supposed to be an April Fool's joke. :P  Some of my friends saw it and instantly started laughing or thought it was atrocious (which was the intended response), which makes me wonder...did you guys mean all those positive comments you left?

I mean, style isn't a definite thing and everyone has their own interpretations of it. Maybe some of you guys actually did like aspects of the outfit I posted. Or did you guys find yourself in an awkward situation where you didn't want to offend me so just left a neutral comment? Personally though, I just put together a lot of silly things (which explains the pigtails and the badass shades) and tried to look as ridiculous as possible. I did try to stick to the same color theme so it was subtle enough (except for that cardigan obviously) so maybe I pulled it off? One of my best friends compared me to Ugly Betty! Walking outside was a pain though; I put on a giant trench coat to hide my outfit. :P

Anyway, I just wanted to say a quick thanks to all the tags and awards I got in the past month: Best Blog Award from The Fashion Whore, the Cherry on Top Award from Cassiopeia and the Sunshine Award from Chloe (Butterfly Cupcakes and Daffodils) and Allison (Last Boat Leaving). Also, I got "Bag Tagged" by both Sharon (elisharon) and Cassiopeia! I have to admit, I only really use my bag for going to class so it's full of books, pens, and pencils, but I'll show you guys anyway! If I'm going out I just shove everything into random pockets.

(statistics binder, accounting textbook, sketchbook, orbit gum, $10, cell phone, iPod, hairband, pencil sharpener, planner, important cards, pens/pencil, dorm room key) 

Oh, and this is for Lyssa (I didn't forget!):

p.s. Next time I'll have an actual outfit. Promise :)

Orange You Glad It's Spring? (April Fool's Outfit!)

April 1, 2010

Orange You Glad It's Spring? (April Fool's Outfit!)

It's beautiful outside; the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, people are throwing Frisbees outside, and I'm inside studying for my Accounting Exam tonight. I also had my Statistics Exam earlier in the morning (which i completely bombed). I can't wait for today to just be over since the rest of the weekend is supposed to be gorgeous as well. Sigh. At least it's spring! I love seeing the flowers starting to bloom and green in the trees again. Hopefully this April won't be full of too many showers.

Oh! Guess what? I got an internship for the next school year as a Photographer for our Student Life's Media and Marketing team! I'm beyond excited and I can't wait. :) I've gotta touch up on my photography over the summer, haha.

Well I better get back to studying so I don't bomb this exam as well. I promise I'll be around more this weekend and catch up on blogging!

p.s. what do you think of my awesome outfit? :D

WOOOOOSH!

March 29, 2010

WOOOOOSH!

I am beyond exhausted and I desperately need to just take a long, long, looooong nap. Unfortunately I still have my two upcoming exams on Thursday. Hopefully I'll start studying earlier this time rather than the night before. Wish me luck! Anyway, I'm exhausted because of my Circle K District Convention this past weekend. It was a ridiculous amount of fun and I loved it (despite the blisters from all the heels I wore). After elections I'm now officially the District Editor and I'm so excited. I can't wait for the officially Circle K year to start in a few days. I didn't get too many fantastic outfit pictures (yay business attire). I'll post some next time if I can find some decent shots. 

These photos were taken last week. My photographer and I decided to travel to the top of the on campus parking deck to snap some shots. Little did we know, the wind was furious up there so I ended up with crazy hair (like the photo above) or a crazy smile. Either way, I looked pretty crazy. 

Now I'm off to do some sleeping, studying, photo uploading. Can't wait to catch up on blogs and such! :)

Congratulations!

Oh, did you guys want to know the winner of the Hana Professional Straightener Giveaway? 

My bad. :) 

Congratulations, Jen! I'll be contacting you shortly so be on the look out for an email!

I'll be at a convention all weekend so I won't be able to post until next week. Then I have two exams I have to study for (I have no idea what's going on in either class). Wish me luck and I'll be back soon, I promise! :)
