I'M DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL WHEN I'M 16.

I wish. But for serious right now, this has been one of the most stressful weeks of my life. To share my pain, read the following:
Monday- English test, Social Studies quiz, English research paper draft due, swim meet, dance, therapist
Tuesday- Math and Social Studies quiz, English essay due, swimming, dance
Wednesday- Social Studies quiz, handbells concert, dance, tutor
Thursday- Social Studies test, swim meet, dance
Friday- Science test, dance, and now I am babysitting two incredibly annoying boys and eating cookies
On the bright side, I went shopping today and bought a bunch of basics, and a few beautiful pieces. I will be posting these shortly because I finally found my camera charger!!
Loves,
Gabriela

Worst of the Worst Dressed

MR. BLACKWELL'S 48TH ANNUAL WORST-DRESSED WOMEN LIST


10.) Alison Arngrim: “Little Nellie of the prairie, looks like a 1940’s fashion editor for the Farmers Almanac.”

9.) Lindsay Lohan: "Lindsay the fashion frenzy strikes again! Lohan takes fashion to a new low."

8.) Jessica Simpson: "Forget the Cowboys. In prom queen screams, can it get any worse? She's a global fashion curse!"

7.) Avril Lavigne: "Gothic make-up courtesy the mad spatula-Fashions provided by.. The house of Dracula!"

6.) Eva Green: "Stuck in neon nightmares not fit for the sane. Fashion this loud could give Bond a migraine! A profusion of confusion from toes to nose!"

5.) Kelly Clarkson: "Her heavenly voice soars above the rest... but those belly-baring bombs are hellish at best! She may be the queen of 'Pro-Active' – but that wardrobe looks downright radioactive!"

4.) Fergie: "Another style-free 'Fergie' in fashion's hall of shame? Yes, when it comes to couture chaos, guess it's all in a name!"

3.) Mary Kate Olsen: "YIKES! In layers of cut-rate kitsch, Mary Kate's look is hard to explain... she resembles a tattered toothpick-trapped in a hurricane!"

2.) Amy Winehouse: "Exploding beehives above…tacky polka-dots below... she's part 50's car-hop horror."

1.) Victoria Beckham: "Forget the fashion spice - wearing a skirt would suffice! In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty posh can really wreck-em."


Hope to God that 2008 is a year of elegance and class.

A Symphony of Sequins!



When Serena first wore this Nanette Lepore 'Symphony' Sequin Cardigan on Gossip Girl, my immediate thought was, "Sequins in the daytime?!" But as the the scene went on, and she kept wearing the sweater, it grew on me. The sequins are so eye-catching, and it looks so cozy. This sweater could most definetly brighten up a boring jeans and flats day.

Ginourmous Bow Headband That I Want

I love this headband. Love, love, love, love. It's by Valentino and, apparently, unfindable. After searching every website ever, zip. On another note, the way Blair paired it with her preppy and sophisticated blazer, she showed how this headband can look fun and flirty, but it can also look smart, and perfect for school and such, which is where Blair is sporting this look.

Frye Up These Boots and Serve 'Em Up to Me



Frye Paige Tall Riding Boot

These are one of those Frye styles that you get and love, and they get older and older and you love them even more. I can picture wearing these with skinnies, and this swing coat I have and love. And at the completely reasonable(yeah, right)price of $348, everyone can be wearing these come next fall! Looks like I'm just going to have to keep saving my pennies.

Pushing Daisies: Chuck's Wardrobe






















Pushing Daisie's Chuck is a huge reason that it is my favorite show. Besides all of the witty banter and piemaking, her 50s style dresses, scarves, sunglasses and all around style is fantastic. I love the way she accesorizes a la Greta Garbo, and the patterns of her dresses and silouhettes(sp?) of her dresses.

L.A.M.B. and Harajuku Lovers




I love Gwen Stefani's brands, L.A.M.B. and Harajuku Lovers. I just got a kickassss pair of Harajuku Lovers Converses. They are so adorablllyy cute. Pictures to follow.


Tata for now!


GUITAR HERO

I got a Wii for Christmas, along with GUITAR HERO III. This game is life. When I first started playing, I failed the easiest song on easy. I have played aybe 4 hours each day from Christmas and can now do almost all the songs on hard. If you haven't ever played this game, I insist that you must go to someone you knows house who has it and play until they kick you out.
Have fun!

Two Girls Breaking Free

http://quirkychic-nora.blogspot.com/
I am joining up with my friend. We are both trying to leave our boring old styles and join the fashion ranks. On her blog she has a list of some of the things we are going to do to help us. Comments on our outfits etc. are very much appreciated.

Actual Sequin Shoes!!!!!!!!


Converses are perfect, and will never go out of style. I just found these sequin ones which I cannot get over.

The New (Fashion) Me

Up until now, my fashion sense has been a little off. I was never an "aberzombie", but I have always dressed shyly, plain and simple. Jeans, flats, simple shirts and cardigans. I have always wanted to "break out", and wear crazy, seriously fashion clothes like some of the outfits the girls post on the Teen Vogue forums. I am going to use this blog as an outlet. I am going to post my outfuts, good and bad and hopefully recieve feedback. I hope it will help show me how I have changed from when I had started this blog, and to how I dress now. I mean in the future. Or whatever.
Appreciate the help!!
