Sixty Seven

And just when I thought I couldn't possibly need another pair of boots, the Blake boot from Sixty Seven came into my life. Usually, to be honest, I don't opt for boots that make me taller as I'm already about 5'9" (and who knows if I'm still growing). But these are different. They are the perfect ankle boot for Spring, and that's actually why I picked them out--all of the boots I have are meant to be worn with tights, or with jeans, or with something cold-weather related. These booties are perfectly versatile (proof--I'm wearing them in 10 degree weather in the snow). And already, I'm envisioning them with spring dresses and skirts. 
This Spring is going to be one of the best ones yet. Already, despite the fact that it's still freezing outside and that the polar vortex is continuing into March, I've had the best couple of weeks. I'm happier then I've ever been before and also starting to feel sentimental--in merely a month, I'll put away my books and be done with high school studying forever.
How am I going to be done in APRIL you ask? At my high school, senior's do a 5-week-long "senior project" at the end of the year--we take no classes, and have no homework. Instead we design our own 5 week schedule around WHATEVER we want to do. I absolutely can't wait. 
What is my project, exactly? Along with two of my best friends, I will be pursuing happiness. What does this mean? I'm not quite sure yet. All I know right now is I'll be writing lots of poetry, taking lots of pictures, and hanging out with my friends. In the end, we hope to have interviewed other friends as well as people off of the street about what makes them happy, and turning it into a documentary (starring the three of us of course). I can't wait to pursue happiness and to tell you all of my adventures!
Here's to the best Spring ever!

So the Broadway play I saw? Chaplin!! It was awesome--and although not the best one I've seen, it had amazing acting. A big thanks to Camp Broadway for the free tickets! The man who played Charlie Chaplin was fantastic. And here's what I wore, although I ditched the hat and jacket since it was too hot to be walking around the city in. And of course I couldn't go into New York without shopping...that Forever 21 in Times Square beckons my name every time. I bought a few things there after dragging my mom through the never-ending store! 
I have lots of fun things to do today including summer work, SAT questions, cleaning my room, doing wash and organizing my closet. Hopefully your Monday will be more fun than mine will...

Hello followers, readers, first-timers, friends, and Grandma! To those of you who have blogs....does your grandma follow? Mine is probably my biggest fan. She is constantly asking me when my next "blog" is going up, and telling me how much she loves each one! So, Grandma, thanks for keeping me in the business!  Love you! :)

I'm also in a good mood because I have less than three weeks of school left. Next week is my LAST full week...because after that is memorial day weekend, and that week I have finals! I cannot WAIT for summer. Also, I'm hoping to have my closet room mostly finished by then...I'll be sure to post pictures as SOON as it is done!!! :)

Happy Tuesday! I've been thinking about the blog and you, my readers, a lot lately. Mostly, I've been thinking of ways to improve it both visually and content-wise. And that got me to thinking...other than those I know in real life, most of you don't know very much about me other than my name and my penchant for fashion. Well, I want that to change! I don't want you to just see me through my outfits, I want you to see me as a real girl. Cheesy as it sounds... :)

So, leave any questions about me, my style, my pictures, my clothes, or any types of comments/styling advice/questions you may have in the comment section down below! I'll put them all together in a post later on :)
