New Hair for a New Girl

It's amazing that a pair of scissors snipping away can cut away the old faults with the old hair. I feel like a new girl, a less blue girl, and one who can really be confident. 

This is certainly my most favorite hair cut. Of course, I've really only had three so far: long hair with side-swept bangs, long hair with blunt-cut bangs, and now this. Quite a change! I've been told that it's reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn, Mia Farrow, Julie Andrews, and, a wonderful compliment, Rebecca the Clothes Horse, a blogger I read on a regular basis. 

Unfortunately, this is the only photo of me with my new 'do; an update for one of my friends. I'm battling dead-camera-battery syndrome, and so outfit posts must wait. However, I do like this outfit anyways.

A Continuously Blossoming Rose

Along with this blog, I happen to have an account with Tumblr that I mainly use for communication and, in this case, research.

I was hopping around blogs when suddenly a beautiful dress caught my eye. I checked it out, and the designers name is Alexander Terekhov, a Russian designer previously on Style.com's "Ten Most Talented To Watch List." 

Obviously, I missed the memo back in 2007, because he has blossomed into a fabulous designer. I would wear every single piece in his Fall/Winter 2012 Collection.

More to come!

About Me

I am a teenage, upstart blogger. I'm pretty obsessed with fashion - well, more so clothing. I love to mess around in my closet and come up with new ideas.  

They say that people choose clothing as a way to identify themselves. I would say that they are dead wrong with me. It's the thrill of putting on a perfectly put-together outfit, pairing the items to find something beautiful. And, with my knack for finding the ONE (a noun which can apply to any piece of clothing that catches my fancy) at Goodwill, it is a low-cost method of keeping myself entertained.  

I'm also an aspiring writer. I want to travel the world, writing, teaching languages, and wearing fantastic outfits along the way. I'm constantly reading, and desperately attempting to speak Spanish to those who will trudge through the dizzying mess of mistaken phrases.  

I often wondered how shallow I must be to keep myself happy with clothes. But then I realised that it isn't the clothes: it's the composition. Just as if it were writing or painting or speaking, it's the formation that really shows who you are.

Masquerade

This was my first prom. I spent the day taking pictures of toads on my trashcan, because there was no way I was going to worry about this dance. 

I actually designed my dress, but it turned out to be far too expensive. So, unfortunately, this is not a thrifted dress. The purse is my mothers, though!

My mom says I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, which may be true. Maybe I'm compensating for that with this thrifting obsession. 

 The theme was masquerade, although we were the only ones who turned up wearing masks! We still had a fantastic time.

This is J (not his real name). He is now a high school graduate! Congratulations!

Yes, those are seagull statues. 

The most fun was not to be had dancing, but rather spending time on a carriage ride beside the river with those I cared about. 

It's funny how the unplanned things are always the ones you remember...
