Outfit: Safety Hazard

{jacket: aeropostle, boot socks: target, boots: fred meyer}

    I had two snow days guys! You have no idea how happy I was when the two-hour delay turned into another no school day on Thursday. We had so much snow for this area, a little under seven inches I believe, which is really crazy for us. The lovely school district did decide to send us to school today though, the day before Spring Break. If that isn't already asking for trouble, add in giant sheets of snow falling from the awnings, an outdoor campus and kids who rarely see snow and you have a recipe for disaster. I witnessed possible people-crushing, hundred-pound slabs of roof-snow avalanche multiple times, but I came out unscathed! The building, on the other hand was not so lucky; about ten feet of one of the gutters feel off, into a pathway for students none the less.

Sometimes I think that the district doesn't really think of us poor outdoor campus kids. We've had to go to school in quite a few dangerous weather conditions. Safety first? No? Whatever... it's Spring break now! 

Spring Snow

    Just to clarify: this pictures were taken today March 21, 2012. The second day of Spring. Oregon is obviously very confused, because it's been snowing non-stop since before I woke up at five this morning. I got a snow day finally! It's been a cozy day off, making snow-dogs. Right after taking that picture Misty proceeded to eat my snow-masterpiece. She just really likes ice...

While I do love the snow, I think I'm ready for some sun now. Actually I take that back, if this can keep up for the next two days so I can have an extended Spring Break that would be fantastic. Keep going snow!

Outfit: Boots, Dog & Leaves

I didn't forget about you all I promise! I have been so busy but I have some pretty awesome things to blog about in the upcoming days (Mumford & Sons concert, the Grotto, etc.) so that's exciting! And I updated the whole blog! Do you like it?

I actually braved the cold and went outside to take these pictures- my backyard was too pretty too miss out on. The leaves are mostly all down now, it's winter here now. I have to share the boots. I got those boots at a thrift store, brand new for $20. I almost died. They are so warm and I love the print on them. Thrift stores are the place to be!

Last but certainly not least- Misty says hello! You're lucky to get the virtual hello, because the real hello smells pretty bad.

Outfit: Leopard

Jacket & Scarf: Old Navy

So I've been a little internet-absent lately. Life has been pretty jammed packed and unfortunately life comes before my blog (that is, when I have a life). Over this past week I had my first piano lesson, a visit to OSU and a football game. I am loving piano, my instructor even told me that I'm not a beginner, which made me feel pretty darn proud being self-taught and all. The Oregon State University Preview day was great- it just reminded me how much I love it, and motivated me to get my application done (which I still haven't...) So much to do, so little time right?

Also, keep Misty my Golden Retriever in your prayers. I think she may have had a little seizure this afternoon and is a little confused still. She's doing a little better now fortunately. Send positive thoughts our way please! :)

Outfit: My Dog Thinks I'm Crazy

First off this post is to show off three of my favorite things: Misty (that is the face I come home too), purple and boots! Misty can't stand to take pictures, she is so camera shy. Just look how irritated she looks with me. It makes me laugh.


Today is my wonderful, fantastic, beautiful, funny just all around amazing, mother's birthday. I have eaten almost nothing today because we are going to Carino's; where I plan to gorge myself on pasta, bread and turtle cheesecake. I am very excited. I'm also excited to see my momma open her presents- I picked them out myself and I love them. I wont say what they are quite yet, just to keep it a complete secret. But believe me they are awesome; I'm a good shopper.

Outfit: Last First Day

Shorts: Charlotte Russe Tank tops: Old Navy

That's right- it was my last first day ever as a k-12 public school kid. Yay? This time next year I will be a big bad college student. I can tell you already that this is going to be a fun-filled, but exhausting senior year for me. I have to be at school promptly at 6:45am... 6:45 AM. That's very early. All you early-birds out there: I hate you. Well I guess I don't hate you... I just really envy your ability to not be an awful, grumpy, emotional, giving-up-on-life, unmotivated monster like some people. Okay, like me.


Oh and since when does Oregon get a heat-wave in September. Actually when does Oregon get a heat-wave ever? It was almost 100 degrees today. It's supposed to be this hot all week. The combination of lack of sleep, lack of clothes that wont cause me heat stroke, and the extreme heat, and school of course, may just push me over the edge.


But I will just smile and laugh it off. Because that's what you do in life. Being grumpy just...makes you grumpy.

Clothes Hoarding Weirdo ♥

Misty and I just wanted to say HI! I hope everyone's having a good day. You want to know what I'm going to do for the rest of the day?....

That's right, I'll be sitting in my closet. No but really I have absolutely zero space left in my closet. My clothes are currently occupying my closet, my room, my sister's room, my sister's closet and the guest closet. I will admit I have a slight shopping problem. It's always super hard for me to get rid of clothes, or anything for that matter because I attach sentimental value to everything. But it must be done. So I will be brave and try to keep myself together and get rid of some stuff.

Wish me luck...I think I'm gonna need it.

My Buddy Misty

Hello everyone! I'm over at Windshield Diaries today talking all about my favorite, my Golden Retriever Misty. So go check out my Blogging Buddies Feature over there! Also I bedazzled my backpack today. Don't worry- just plain silver studs. I love it though and am planning on sharing it on here sometime soon!


Don't forget to enter the Wrinkle In Time Vintage giveaway. You have until the 14th! :)

Mermaid Nails

I've been wanting to paint my nails for a while and finally did today. I always am hesitant to paint them because my nails grow super fast. So by Sunday they will probably already be all grown out and ugly. Does anyone else have that problem? Anyways this nail look is from cupcakes and cashmere and I love it. I used Revlon's 320 Jaded instead and some NYC glitter polish for the ring fingers. I really like this color, it's taking some getting used to though.

So- I am out of shape. I know when small people say that people get really upset but I'm not saying I'm fat, just out of shape. I have no muscle whatsoever. To remedy this I started doing the 5-day workout from Seventeen Magazine with my mom. It's more fun when we're both whining and complaining about it. But it's also bad, because we support each other...in skipping a lot of days.

Last but not least here is a picture of the blueberry monster. I was in my backyard picking blueberries from our blueberry bush (I know you're jealous- fresh blueberries are the best) and there comes Misty under my feet, climbing all over me and pushing me out of the way so she can get the ones that fall to the ground. What a good dog.

Outfit: Flowers, More Flowers and a Dog

 Dress: Thrifted Forever Vest: H&M Bag: Thrifted Coldwater Creek Shoes: TJ Maxx Bracelets: H&M

Guess what!? I finally got off my couch/bed and got ready today! I got all dressed and went to lunch and shopping with my wonderful momma! We needed it because it's just us this weekend; my dad is taking my big sister back to California. Boo. Anywhooo...have I ever mentioned how much I love thrift stores? That bag up there, it was a brand new $60 bag, the price tag was still on it's twin. How much did I pay-- $5! I felt like I was stealing. Oh and I had to include those last two pictures, Misty really wanted to be in them with me -and you have to check out my gorgeous bug bite on my leg.

Remember how I said if I ever became obese frozen yogurt would be to blame? Well we went again today. Mine's the one on the left. Yum...

Ruffles, Lace and a Dog: Outfit.

Well it is definitely a Monday, isn't it? This week is looking to be a stressful one but I will try to keep positive. Today was a beautiful day in here in Oregon. I got some very much needed sunshine.

I am in love with:

The ruffly, lacy, amazing-ness of this shirt. Go TJ Maxx! 

My little ankle boots (which have a tear in them, which I found this morning in my math class. Yes that's how interested I am in math.)

My beautiful dog Misty, who wanted to join in on my pictures.

I am incredibly frustrated with:

My hair. I don't want to chop it all off, but it's irritating me.

Pants. They are just too long. There are short people in the world you know! I'm sure tall people feel the same. I know I know I could hem them, but I shouldn't be forced to do that...discrimination! 

Haha, oh well. I guess I should start working on the million things I have to do this week.

Happy Monday!

It's Been Snowing...In Oregon!

I told myself when I started this that I was going to update my blog very frequently, even if no one read it. Shame on me. It's been a while but I have an excuse! It's been a pretty busy and stressful week. 

It snowed, a couple of inches here on Thursday, which really is insane. It hardly ever snows and sticks. Even crazier, I went to school on said day of inches of snow. It was an outrage. The district has cancelled school when there was no snow before, but when it's actually snowing, nope. The school I go to is also an open campus, so that was fun. Thursday night they cancelled school for Friday. Weird, but I was very happy with the decision. (It barely even snowed Thursday night or Friday).

My beautiful Misty with some snowflakes on her cute little face.

You probably can't tell, but that's the street out there.

My backyard is all snowy and pretty!

Props to my mother, she took this pretty picture while I was forced to be at school.

I love this scarf, but it sheds little fuzzes all over whenever I move. And my hair is straight! That doesn't happen very often. Haha. Forgive my lack of shoes and appreciate my bright green socks, oh yeah. :)

There you have it, snow in western Oregon in late February! Wasn't that pretty?

Anywho, this is going to be a super stressful week, is anyone else overbooked for this week?
