ELECTION NIGHT! I'm taking AP US Government and Politics so I've learned a whole lot about elections and specifically the one that takes place tonight. Who are you for, Obama or Romney? Or neither? If I was one year older I'd be able to vote this year. Instead, I'll have to wait until I'm 21 to vote in a presidential election. I'm going to an election night party hosted by my US Gov teacher tonight. Can't wait! Politics are crazy in this country--it's insane how many people get wrapped up in supporting their chosen candidate. I'm up for hearing both sides and then enjoying the show! I'm sure I'll feel differently when I'm older and voting, but for now, that's my story. What are you feeling about tonight's election or just...politics in general?

The Coming Cold

These pictures were also pre-storm, hence the happy, smiling, bare-legged girl you see. I mentioned in an earlier post that I often go bare-legged into December, but let me tell you bare-legged now would not be a smiling girl. I'd be scowling or perhaps making constipated faces as I tried to convince myself I was warm. Hopefully it's warmer where you are!

The Calm







Top- Material Girl via Macy's | Skirt- c/o TooSexyStore.com | Blazer- The Limited | Boots- Target | Bracelets- c/o Starry Groove

These pictures were taken during the "calm before the storm". I took these when the winds were whipping so intensely that I was afraid my tripod would fall over. It was almost to the point that "glamorous hair blowing in the wind" became "hair attacking face". But I didn't include those pictures, of course :)

Also, be sure to check out my latest feature on Cheeky Pink Tulip. And if you haven't caught up in a while, here's a collection of all of my features.

Good Hair Day







Sweater- American Eagle | Leather Jacket- Wilson's Leather Outlet | Skirt- c/o mmddyyyy | Tights- won in a giveaway | Wedges- Kohl's | Bracelet- gifted | Necklace- Macy's

I GOT MY HAIR CUT! It's been like 6 months since the last time I got it cut. So yeah, I was long overdue. I only got 2 inches off, and you probably can't even tell since it's blowdried. But when I wear it natural you'll see. Now that it's November, it's finally starting to get cold. *sigh*. The days of bare legs are (almost) over. I usually extend my bare legs into December when I freeze my butt off for the sake of fashion. Hey, lookin' good comes at a price, right?

Powerless

I've been out of power (and also internet) since Monday night now. I've also been out of school since Wednesday the 24th. By the time I go back to school, I'll have had 11 days off, counting weekends!!! It's been so nice to have a break...but looking on the dark side, it also means we've used up all of our snow days and our other breaks might be shortened now. How has everyone else fared from Hurricane Sandy? We really didn't get hit that bad where I am--just lots of power outages and fallen trees. New York City got hit really bad...as did a lot of the beaches in NJ. Not sure how the other states are faring, but in my state it was so bad in some areas that our governor officially postponed Halloween to November 5th! Things like that have NEVER happened here before! I'm at a local Kohl's right now for the Wifi (who knew Kohl's had wifi, right??) and I'm scheduling posts for the rest of the week since I'm not supposed to get my power back for a whole nother week. As much as being without power is awful, I'm grateful our house isn't damaged or anything worse. Plus, we have a generator, which gives us the essentials (water, lights in the bathroom, the fridge, and the TV). It doesn't give us heat, nor does it give us lights anywhere else. Needless to say it's pretty cold and dark at night. And you can probably tell that these pictures were taken in the happy, warm, sunny, electricity-possessing days BEFORE the storm. Storms like these sure do show us how lucky we really are! Hope everyone who was hit by Sandy is safe and okay!
