Have a good day anyone? I sure did!

Though i woke up late, i got to school bright and early. I love mornings like those.

I realized i have not worn a pair of jeans this whole school year so far! I guess I'm getting my summer clothes out the way! But i defiantly will start wearing some jeans soon! Today, i just kicked it in with my friends, we hung out and just simply talked and ate and ate all day. It feels so good to be a sophomore this year. Plus, I'm doing way more things and am more confident this year, (which comes naturally since i actually have friends this year)

Autumn Is Coming!

Fall Photos 2011

Outfit I missed Last week! :)

The week is over and again is starting! Time flies
I had a decent week over all , I'm very excited for October. It (and November) is my favorite months. This is where the leaves turns colors and drops to the floor... The temperature gets cold, but not too cold. I start feeling nostalgic. I love the vibes, the atmosphere, and how giddy i get at the month. The photography shots are always on point and the world looks so warm and inviting! I cant wait to change the blankets from sheets to fuzzy comforters, help my dad with the yard work, and watch as the layers of clothing pile on. I always found it interesting how people change from tank tops to sweaters to hoodies to coats. This month , i want to go pumpkin picking and apple picking. I truly love caramel apples, so that is something i defiantly want to make.

My Outfits of This week

9/24 - 9/28

The change of seasons has defiantly had me lusting after Fall essentials that I'm dying to fill my closet with. I have compiled a list of wants for Fall.

First off! The Shoes! I'm in love. The colors I'm trying to focus on, are neutral colors like Black and different shades of brown (chestnut, taupe)
Necessary Clothing has created and lowered the prices of the shoes that I NEED this fall.
Hopefully, I will be able to get at least 4 of these by next weekend

Night Cap Wedge Tan, Night Cap Wedge Black, Soho Boots, Block Wedge Taupe, Block Wedge Black, and Oxford Flats Tan

Have a happy Sunday! :)

First Act of Leadership.

Today was a good day. My school had a club fair where students could learn and join clubs. It was a fun experience because it was my first year doing it as a Leader. (Leadership is a program that i really wanted to get into)

I didn't feel like everybody else. I felt good. In control. We sold school merchandise like school bracelets/bands, shirts, sweats and so forth. It was a great turn out and a great day over all!

Sadly, one of my favorite teachers got a higher position. Although she was one of the meanest, i really liked her. She made me feel good when i took the regents. As if it were a breeze! When i got her again this year, i was more than ecstatic I am upset now that she got switched. But, i am happy for her. It is a position that she wanted. She asked for them not to switch our class , but hey, She had to go for it.
I'm gonna miss her.

Oh ! My hair! I found a scarf in my house and made my own turban wrap. I have been looking for how to do this hair style for a while now and I finally found it! The first time I did it, was pretty excessive, Why not start out with a bang? Haha,
See how to here!

Today i had to dress with Dozo Spirit! Our colors are blue and orange. I wore a thrifted blue oxford shirt, and an orange cardigan. I tucked them both into belted black harem pants and topped it off with taupe spiked flats.

Wearing:

Joe Fresh Cardigan

Second Hand Blue Oxford Shirt

When in Bagels

One of the things that inspire me are Bagel Shops. I love them so much. I love being in and around them. The smell, the organization, the style of it. I don't know, i just love it so much.
Yesterday, I came across one blog. I have to put it down somewhere. But i fell in love with it. The woman dresses so wonderfully and exactly the way i do this year. So she is defiantly my inspiration this year. My one problem is , that she hasn't posted in so long! I am now desperate for more ideas this year. My outfit today, came from one of her pictures. I paired my white sheer shirt, with a green DIY pleated skirt (DIY video coming soon!), a thrifted leather braided belt, and brown combat boots.
The skirt was pretty short, so no bending for me today! Haha

We always end up matching! I love this kid! <3

His name is Mitchell. He is one of my very close friends in this school.

School has been good so far.

August and September were all a blur. Good stuff, bad stuff (mostly)... so much happened in so little time. A lot was going on in my personal life and I wasnt good with showing that in public so i continued to act happy. I was overwhelmed with fading friendships. I was dragging a "relationship" that was not working anymore. And between Pathfinder, Piano lessons making time for friends, I was accepting too much work and stupidly seeing my overbooked agenda as a badge of honor. Plus, this summer, i had no money to my name! I was overwhelmed and unhappy, until I decided it was time for me to eliminate things that were bringing me down. Pressure, stress, boredom, sadness... I couldn't deal with everything anymore. Sometimes, you have to think about what you really want and stop worrying about what other people want or expect from you. And this is exactly what I did. I rid myself of the guy that brought me down. I reconnected with old friends and met new ones. I got over old friendships. Now i am happy. School is great so far, i made the leadership program in my school and once again i start late. I made a best friend this summer as well. :) And i met someone new. Someone i can picture myself with! Sometimes, closed doors lead to new openings. But that is another story!

The dated, detailed doings of
Annie.

I am a creator. An artist. A realist. An optimist. A student. A daughter. An imaginer. A lover. I simply am. Biggest dream? To attend FIDM, major in design, work and study fashion as well as interior design in New York and California and make something of my life despite of where I came from. But for now, here is where I share little bits of my life, my interests, and my mission to accomplish my dreams. This blog are moments captured in time. Laughing, crying, walking, talking. Turning "ing" to "ed". Moments seized in time. Moments to look back on. To remember. Caught within the palm of my hands, held in my camera.

"She does mostly street-wear brands, but I feel her beauty is much more than that. "

"I am a senti(mental) - instru(mental). I am so to the point that. I find pleasure in mixing music with company. My desire is to soak you in song. I take bits of you, and sow it within the confines of something as multitudinous, as a song. The scent of you will stick to me; like that of alcohol, to skin. Or, cigarettes, to fingertips. Or, paint fumes to a renovated room. I want the weight of having thought of you too deeply. "

"If you don’t think you are very smart or funny or good looking or whatever then maybe just try to focus on the things that are great about you… like maybe you are good at remembering birthdays or important days, or you are gentle and kind with animals, or you are good at being patient with children or you have mastered the art of roasting marshmallows to perfection…. you don’t have to be Einstein or a top model to celebrate yourself"

"If the boy who draws

let’s you look over his shoulder. If the poet smiles and shows you her words. If the girl who sings for the shower only, hums a song in front of you. Know that you’re no longer a person but the air and dust that fills their lungs. When the world perishes, and all things cease to exist, you’ll remain inside an ink stain, a paint brush, a song."

"I didn't have the confidence I have now during my teenage years. I had all of these wild ideas that I spent a lot of time trying to convey and convince myself of. But over time you evolve and become really, really comfortable with who you are."

"I was homophobic. So God gave me three gay kids and told me to grow the hell up."

"Airports see more sincere kisses than wedding halls. The walls of hospitals have heard more prayers than the walls of churches."

Wabi-sabi (侘寂?) represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete".It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence (三法印 sanbōin?), specifically impermanence (無常 mujō?), the other two being suffering (苦 ku?) and emptiness or absence of self-nature (空 kū?).

"I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect - they are much more interesting."

"I really do believe that art changes the landscape of the world."

“I like people who have a sense of individuality. I love expression and anything awkward and imperfect, because that’s natural and that’s real.”
"هذا يجب تمرير للغاية."
"Your naked body should only belong to those who fall in love with your naked soul. "
"I prefer inspirational poems that teach you to live a better life over love poems. I have never liked poems or quotes that were based upon one pouting over the other person that deprived of they’re love or someone pouring out ones love for the other person. -life’s too short for that."
"I opened my rib cage and you didn’t catch a single butterfly that flew out."
" فإنه يحصل على نحو أفضل"
"i crave passion and intensity"
" Have you ever felt a potential love for someone? Like, you don’t actually love them and you know you don’t, but you know you could. You realize that you could easily fall in love with them. It’s almost like the bud of a flower, ready to blossom but it’s just not quite there yet. And you like them a lot, you really do. You think about them often, but you don’t love them. You could, though. You know you could. "
"He's got a soul as sweet as blood red jamAnd he shows me, he knows meEvery inch of my tar black soul"
"I am learning every day to allow the space between where I am and where I want to be to inspire me and not terrify me."
"The best kiss is the one that has been exchanged a thousand times between the eyes before it reaches the lips." "It’s okay to lose yourself for a little while. In books, in music, in art. Let yourself get lost."
"You deserve flowers on your doorstep and coffee in the morning. You deserve notes left on your dashboard and ice cream sundaes at 3 am. You deserve honesty every day and to be kissed every hour. You deserve to be reminded how beautiful you are"
"When I say be creative, I don’t mean that you should all go and become great painters and great poets. I simply mean let your life be a painting, let your life be a poem."
"Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?"
"The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart; and being thoughtful and being generous. Everything else is crap. I promise you. It’s just crap that people try to sell to you to make you feel less. So don’t buy it."
"You can’t find true happiness if you live your life trying to please other people."
"Success is the best revenge"
"You're looking at yourself in the mirror and you don't realize what you look like because you're just a baby so you smile and wave at the baby smiling and waving back at you. You glance away for a second, look back but then you are already eight, staring at your ripped jeans and scraped knees but it's worth it because you because you proved to the boys you're not a sissy after you threw out your bubble gum lip gloss, pink bows, and told them you hated pink. And then you're fourteen and you're in the mirror putting on eyeliner because suddenly you are into makeup and the boys like those girls now, and you're saying, you're shouting "YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING MOM!" But she really did because now you're looking in the mirror on your wedding day but you're only half smiling because you wonder if you might not have had to go through with this if it wasn't for the kicking in your stomach. Before you know it, you're looking in the mirror again but you're wrinkled and tired-looking and the world is no longer at your feet yet you have nothing to show for yourself besides a daughter and next time you look you're looking in the mirror and you don't even know what you look like, you can't even recognize yourself so you look away.Yet you still know you can't avoid mirrors in a society as vain as ours."
"As you think, you travel, and as you love, you attract. You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you."
"what do you mean you can't hang out i showered for this i shaved for this i put a bra on for you. i got off tumblr for you i am wearing real pants I went outside i got out of bed i woke up"
