attic exctitement

Here are some things I found in my Grandma's attic. Some of them are better than others.

Vest! Makes me look slightly tool-ish, but it's a good piece to jazz up a plain shirt.
Reeeeally big blue dress. Without the belt it's a giant sack on me. Muumuu-ish. Not what I'd usually wear though.
Kinda cute plaid dress.

HAPPY NATIONAL HANGOVER DAY! Yes, yes. Although I am consumed no alcohol last night, today has been extremely slow. And it is snowing snow like there is no tomorrow (which I wish would indeed happen.). Tomorrow, the boarding students come back on campus from their different states, countries and homes. Then Thursday, we start our Winter term. Bleghh.

But anyway, M.I.A for Marc by Marc Jacobs. I think Juergen Teller actually did a rather good job with this. Although, M.I.A. does look a bit "greasy" as someone I saw wrote, I may have to agree. But, its hard for me to hate a Marc Jacobs ad.

Oh, I am just soooo looking forward to Victoria Beckham being the new face of the Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2008 ad campaign. HA! Yeah. Right.

Well, I hope that these ads wont be the first ads from MJ that I hate. Now, I'm off to watch the Twighlight Zone marathon on SciFi. Yesss. Happy 2008.

lippy.

While in Boston a couple days ago, me and my comrade(along with some other friends) walked into an M-A-C make-up store, right. Along with having dark red glittery eyeshadow (EEKK!) put on one of my eyelids by L, she and I both applied some red lipstick on our lips. Surprisingly, we didn't look like clowns. Actually we didn't look half bad, if I do say so myself. And so I put it on today, to see if maybe, I don't know, it looks good enough to wear to a New Year's Eve Party tonight. It's my mum's but hey, it doesn't come off easily so I an kiss anyone at midnight. Like, that will ever happen. Ha.

Sorry for the crap photos. They didn't come out well with flash, because I was taking them in a mirror. I can only take pictures of myself in a mirror, otherwise I can't get the aim or the angle right and they look horrible. So, for now, I hope its alright that they are choppy mirror shots. Though, these photos don't show the real shade of the red. Ah, oh well.

This one I took on my mum's computer. Sorry for the whack facial expression. It's a habit of mine.
It's not that vibrant of a red, more darker really, but it looks much different than my normal lip color, which is quite paler. My sis thinks it looked alright, as did my mum. Maybe I'll give it a go tonight. But I really want to try a VERY VIBRANT red instead of dark. Maybe a little drive to the drug store is to be arranged, yes.


No, no this is not really lippy. Its a Marc Jacobs lipstick pen. Speaking of that brilliant man, me and my pallies, while in Boston stopped into the Marc Jacobs on Newbury Street and stared at the beautiful things. AND MADE SOME PURCHASES. Very small ones though. I bought a bag that said "Boston" and showed a picture of a cartoon rendering of the Boston Tea Party. I also got a cute cat keyring and an MJ key necklace. And me and L got Marc Jacobs bracelets for each other that say very loving phrases in LATIN (best language EVER) and gave them to each other as gifts. Awww.

We also noticed that Marc Jacobs sells condoms (at 1.50 each)! HA.


Happy New Year!

sneaks.

I'm talking about Nike.
No, not that Nike, these Nikes!

These are so colorful and good for spring I would imagine. The top ones remind me of PlayDoh for some reason. Anyway these Nikes are probably my favorites:

They're just so cool looking. Although, I do wish I had a pair like Marty McFly in Back to the Future. He has pretty sweet kicks.

I found this pretty nifty site on another blog that is actually petitioning Nike to make his futuristic shoes from Back to the Future: Part II. Check it out: www.mcfly2015.com

nifty gifties!

Kris Kringle brought me a loverly sequined skirt and a warmy warm hat. And I threw in a picture of my handmade tie skirt. Hope you like!

pochahontas.

I like these a lot.

here i come times square.

So Christmas is over, which is always kind of a bummer, for me its because my family has to make the 8 hour drive from New York back to Exeter, New Hampshire. Not so fun. But my sister and I occupied ourselves by watching DVDs on the DVD player in our car. And I listened to my new IPOD CLASSIC. I figured out how to work it and everything.

Along with that iPod I got an iHome, clothes galore, Daisy by Marc Jacobs (smells incredible), and tons and tons of other things for Christmas. So I am very thankful for everything.

This year for New Year's Eve, like countless times before, I will be heading up to the glamourous New York City for the count-down and ball drop. Oh god, last year it was really cold. But I must admit that the Time's Square thing has not always been a tradition for my family, we started it when I was 6 and I was sitting in my house cmplaining that I wanted to see the ball not on the TV this year. So my parents called up a babysitter for my wee sister and we made the short drive to the City and waited among the hundreds of thousands of people waiting to kiss their loved ones. Its always funny to look at the people sporting around the ugly eyeglasses that are in the shape of next year's digits and the atrocious headgear that is sold on New Year's Eve Day. And because from 2000 to 2009 there are two zeroes present in the middle of the year's numbers, that makes a perfect place to put the eye holes for those wonderful glittery glasses. Oh boy, what WILL we do in 2010?

And I think that this year marks the 100th year that that wonderful Waterford crystal ball will be dropped. Oh boy oh boy. But this won't be as big as the 2 million people that were crowded in the city during the millenium. That was a living hell. We were like on, 59th street (where you can't even see anything.). Psh. Whateverrr.

I'm stoked. Oh yeah, in the picture from last year I circled the spot where I think I was standing. I know we were a little ahead of the McDonalds (gross.) and we had and incredible view. WOO.

New Year's Resolutions:

1. Be an all-around better person. That means, no talking about people while they are not present, no gossiping, no bithcy things. Period. This may be hard. Just remember to be nice.

2. Find out who I am style-wise. Develop a personal style is what I mean.

3. Diet. NO, NO. Not go on a diet. Improve mine. No I don't want to go back to eating meat after almost 3 years of this vegetarian thing. But both my mum and I are concerned with my eating habits. So, eat healthier.

Oh boy 2008, I hope you're as good to me as 2007 was. Maybe even better. Please be better actually.

Now me and my blog partner will wait for our fall term grades which are coming out soon. God, help us. And give me some alcohol (lollerskates). Well, at least our winter term schedules are coming out too. Hope they're good. Wish us luck!
