Tedious Thursday.

Today actually felt like one of the longest days of school ever and boy am I happy that it's over. Tomorrow is Friday, hurray! I am SO ready for the weekend. Now let me tell you about what happened yesterday:


My arm is looking a little funky in this picture don't you think? Well you guessed it, I have a cast on it. Here's the story: Yesterday morning my parents dropped me off at school. It had just snowed the night before as I walked across the parking lot. I walked on the sidewalk making my way to the side door of my school when I slipped and fell out of no where. I slid right onto the floor and tried to break my fall with my arm. That was not such a great idea on my part, I broke my wrist.

I'm the first person in my immediate family to ever break a bone, so it's a pretty big deal. We were all a little bit freaked out because we didn't know what to do. I'm fine and have a splint on it right now. I'll be getting a cast in a week or two. Thank the lord for that because this thing is so freaking uncomfortable. I literally can't move my arm. It hurts A LOT but hopefully the pain will go away soon. Everyone has been so sweet and helpful and I really appreciate it. I have to find a way to make this thing fashionable.

I decided that I'm not going to change my blog address, sorry for all the confusion! It's staying as it is, I promise this time!

Be My Valentine.

It's almost here and will sneak up on you sooner than you think. I love Valentine's Day, mostly because I love any and everything heart shaped. Valentine's Day isn't just for couples, it's for telling your family and friends how much you love and care about them. I usually gives my friends little gifts every year and love getting them :) So I picked out a couple of my favorite Valentine themed gifts:
Valentine's Day Gifts
Sweetheart Sunnies ($11) - These are just a cute and silly gift that any gal would love and they come in three lovely colors.
Love on Toast Stamp ($6) - I think this is so adorable, and makes eating breakfast so much more fun.
Marc by Marc Jacobs Heart Evening Bag ($80) - I love this bag, I have it in gunmetal and you can buy at Marc Jacobs stores (its cheaper) or Amazon.com.
Marc by Marc Jacobs Pave Heart Ring ($78) - This is one jazzy ring, but I love it, how could you not?
Poppy Signature Heart Logo Glam Tote ($268) - This bag just screams Valentine's Day, but it's cute to wear all year round.
Pinky Heart Leather Keyfob ($58) - I'm in love with this new coach collection and these keyfobs are adorable and a perfect gift.
Betsey Johnson Lip Studs ($25) - These are so quirky but are very cute and I would definitely wear them.
Jennifer Zeuner Initial Necklace ($s) - My parents gave this to me early as my Valentine gift and I love it! It's so beautiful and I can wear it everyday.

Back to a normal week of school tomorrow, ew! I hope everyone had a great weekend and a great week to come.

Freezing Friday.

Could yesterday have been any colder? I think not. I had on six layers and could still not feel anything. I went shopping in Soho with my friend Tori and we had a lovely day. Just to name a few stores we went to Anna Sui, Betsey Johnson, Topshop, Forever 21, Urban outfitters and many many more stores. We also had a delicious lunch at Le Pain Quotidien, and even though I was frozen, I managed to get lots of shopping done, and strictly Spring clothes of course.
1/29/10
From Topshop:
MEADE Lace Up Shoes - I love these and cannot wait to wear them in the Spring with cute dresses and jeans.
Bow Print Crop Blouse - I love the bows and the silky material, it would definitely look cute with the shoes.

From Forever 21:
Forever Yours Crop Top - I spotted this online and thought it was adorable and I love wearing crop tops with high waisted shorts.
Striped Sweater Cardigan - I bought it in red, it's a good Spring basic to have.

From Urban Outfitters:
BDG Slim Boyfriend Jean - I've been wanting a pair of boyfriend jeans for quite some time, the ones I bought have lots of holes in them and were on sale for $30.

Clearly I love anything Nautical and cannot wait to wear all of this on the cruise! I hope everyone is having a great weekend, stay warm!

Yummy Jelly.

I'm going on a cruise in March and have already been searching for some 'cruise wear'. And today is dedicated to sandals. Designer sandals are so expensive but lucky for you and me, the latest trend for many designers is Jelly sandals. They are extremely affordable and quite adorable. I found an array of different Jellies and I really can't pick which one I like best!
Jellies
Marc by Marc Jacobs Gold Jelly ($95) - Marc Jacobs can never go wrong in my mind and these are no exception. I love the laces.
Stuart Weitzman Blingy Peeptoe Jelly ($158) - I spotted these in the store a month or two ago and loved them. Stones on sandals seem to be a big trend.
Valentino Couture Bow Jelly Sandal ($275) - These are a splurge, but they are fabulous and are so Valentino.
Kate Spade Obi Jelly Slingback Sandals ($60) - I Love the bows and the different colors that they come in.
See by Chloe Ankle Wrap Jelly Sandal ($125) - I actually almost bought these last year, so in my opinion they should be on sale, but I still really like them.
Victoria's Secret Jelly Thong ($25) (not pictured) - Cute and cheap, how could you go wrong?
Salvatore Ferragamo Lattice Jelly Sandals ($140) - These are more like flats which I like, I also love the bow of course.
Steve Madden Jelly ($69.95) - I know I said I couldn't pick a favorite, but I think these might be them, I love love love the stones.

Copy Cat.

Everyone has a fashion weakness and mine just happens to be dresses. Last year I was absolutely in love with this Phillip Lim dress, I spotted in Teen Vogue and was DYING for it but didn't have an extra $500 lying around to buy it. Sadly I don't own anything Phillip Lim because I'm a teenage girl who does not have that kind of money to spend on clothes. I always keep my eyes open at outlet stores and on sales racks of course, but I've found nothing so far.


Today, I was doing some online shopping, (which I often do) and found an almost exact replica. Now I realize this isn't good for Phillip Lim, but its great for me! It's from Forever 21 and its only $32. I'm in love and am going to Forever 21 as soon as I can. How fabulous is this dress?

Have you found any more fabulous copy cats?

Questions.

I am so thankful for all of my loyal readers, and I love telling you about my semi exciting life. Anything else you would like to know? I love answering questions.


Question away!

Sunny Saturday.

Today I went into the city to take my lovely sister to brunch for her birthday. We went to Alice's Teacup and it was delicious! I had poached eggs on top of a ham and cheese scone, yum! I went with her Bloomingdale's to get her makeup done. While there I fell in love with the new Coach Poppy slim totes, they are so adorable!
What I wore today: Gap black tee shirt, F21 faux fur vest, UO skinny jeans and black Tory Burch flats.

After I left my sister, I went shopping with my parents in Soho. I have been dying for a classic trench coat for quite sometime and my parents agreed to buy me one. So we went to Topshop where I found a fabulous one. It's exactly what I wanted, I also bought this Chanel-ish polka dot purse, it's so cute. I must say I love having a Topshop in the United States, but it's not nearly as amazing as the one in London, which I could spend days in. But hey I'll still take it.

As for school goes I have a test every single day next week. So I better start studying. I just finished my project for Chemistry class which in I had to answer the question: What makes waterproof mascara waterproof? So I decided to make a giant mascara as part of the project and put the information on it.
Pretty cool right? Haha I hope I get a good grade on it, I think it deserves an A.

Tedious Thursday.

Tomorrow is already Friday? Wow this week has gone by extremely quickly. I was supposed to have my health final today but it was moved to Monday. So the only test I had to take today was my United States history test. I wish I could have just gotten the final over with, but what can you do? I have quite a bit of homework that I need to get done before this weekend, because I'll be celebrating with my sister for her birthday this weekend.
What I wore today: Forever 21 plaid dress, F21 pleather vest, black tights and black sequin high top converse.

I can't believe my big sister is turning 25! I love her so much and hope that she loves the gift I bought her :) Next week is going to be an extremely busy one: Midterms. Yikes, well I wish I could just get them over with already. I promise that I'll try my hardest to update, but please forgive me if I don't for a couple of days. Talk to you soon readers, have a great weekend.
