Fun Stuff

Dress - Converse One Star // Cardigan - Express // Socks - Target // Shoes - Restricted Betsy // Balm Stain - Revlon Charm

 

So I was finally a bit social today (and no, the pictures wont' resize again) and I spent the afternoon with my aunt, uncle, cousin, and two of my brothers. I may have lived in Akron for a year...but I still haven't been to most of the little diners and places by my house. So we checked out The Falls Deli and then went to Strickland's Frozen Custard. The Frozen Custard place was so cute! The interior was decorated with all these pictures from the 50s...ok so a bit cliché for an ice cream/custard place. But still, cute.

 

Later my friend Rachel came over to watch a movie. You might remember her. She used to be one of my photographers before she transferred to Kent. Anyways, so much fun! We watched Corpse Bride and then talked for awhile. I'm really not that social :p so I really had a lot of fun! Hope your weekend is great!

Be Prepared

Anytime someone says that I have an urge to sing the song from Lion King. Seriously, does anyone else do that? Or it is just me...

So I like to think of myself as a fairly organized person. But seriously, when it comes to weather--rain specifically--I am seriously never dressed right. I actually bothered to check the weather this time to see whether (haha...weather...whether... anyone read The Phantom Tollbooth?) where was I? Oh yes, um I checked the weather to see whether I should wear layers or not and too see how hot it was supposed to be. But for some reason I failed to see that it was going to rain. Now, apparently I left my rainboots at my parents house. But I still have plenty of other boots to wear. Since I didn't see this massive storm or even bother to listen to all the rain right outside the many windows in my house I wore flats. Not just any flats either. These particular flats apparently have a bit of a hole in the sole of the right shoe...I know this 'cause my right shoe was full of water by the time I'd made my way to the art building. And my left shoe was relatively dry...ish. Thankfully I had time to run home and switch shoes before my next class. And by that time it had stopped raining.

The awful thing is this is not the first time this has happened. And yet, I continue to make the same stupid mistake over and over again! Rainboots on...no rain. Rainboots off...torrential downpour. People, I have actually worn rainboots on days with no rain. In my defense I actually checked the weather and there was supposed to be rain! I guess I'm just a dork :p

Scarves Are So Convenient!

So yeah, I'm officially back in the blogging world again. Not that I haven't been blogging. But my posts have been a bit sporadic :/ And I really didn't visit anyone else's blogs for a few weeks either. But now I'm glad to be back! Eh, and it made me realize how nasty my pictures are since I don't have the great outdoors in my backyard anymore. I will figure something out though. So I did homework all day and I am just done! See ya... (oh yeah, head scarves are great for bad hair days...)

Obviously I'm Not Feeling Creative Today

Dress & Belt - Thrifted // Shoes - Hotcakes //

I had stuff to say earlier today...but I remember none of it now. Anyways, I started looking at other people's blogs again today. It's been like...3 weeks? idk, but it's been awhile. I really enjoyed the break even if it was because I was so sick :/ 

Darn it! There was something funny that happened during Web Design today but I don't remember what it was. I mean, there were plenty of hilarious things that happened in that class. You know...when you sit in class with friends :p Oh, and I know I've worn a very similar outfit before (um maybe twice?) but I count it as different 'cause I have different balm stain on. There. That's it. Apparently I used all my creativity at school today.

These Ain't Fashion Boots

So....I really don't know what to tell you about the pictures. I know, I know...it's just all these excuses. But seriously, I have no idea why they're all messed up! Chrome was being all weird with BlogSpot and stuff and Firefox won't have anything to do the website (Mozilla Firefox or should I say Godzilla Flamewolf?) so here I am stuck with IE. Ugh, words cannot describe how much I hate IE, but it's the only browser that's sort of working right now. And for some reason it won't let me resize the pictures. Why?? Why are you doing this to me?? Oh well...

 

If I had to pick a category for this outfit, it would probably be Nautical Cowboy. I don't know why, but I do find that quite humorous. Hey, stripes and cowboy boots--therefore, Nautical Cowboy. I'm gonna go wrangle some seahorses now...ha ha ha... Anyways, when I see people wearing "fashion" cowboy boots I kind of have to laugh. Nothing says "city person" more than a pair of brand spankin' new, shiny and clean boots. I mean, go ahead and wear what you want, but I feel like cowboy boots are just something that only farm people should wear.  And here I am wearing "fashion" cowboy boots. Oh wait...except that these are totally not "fashion" boots. Folks, these are the real deal. Yes, these are legit boots with real horse poop and everything! Since I don't really show horses anymore (sad face) I figured I might as well put these boots to good use! And, just for some proof, here's one of my horse show ribbons. I should post some pictures of my horse now I guess...

 

Oh yeah, and in case you were wondering...no, I'm still sick. I basically coughed up my spleen in my first class today :/ Blaaaaah. Health, where are you??

No Shoes in the Fridge!

Dress - London Times // Shoes - Mossimo

Yeah, I've been really MIA the past few weeks :/ It's ridiculous...as soon as I thought I was getting over the flu I got a really bad cold! I know, I know...enough excuses already. But seriously, blogging has not been my top priority obviously. I got the camera back when I visited my family yesterday so I plan to get some photos this next week. But yeah, since I'm still feeling ridiculously tired I'm gonna get back to my Arrested Development/Game of Thrones marathon. Yes, yes, all my homework's done. Thank goodness. I really just need to veg and do nothing! So yeah, just a quick post to let y'all know I'm still here!

Oh, and yes I did actually find a pair of shoes in the fridge. I assure you I'm not that unorganized--I was just so out of it that I put a pair of shoes in the fridge when I got back home yesterday :p

So, Caffeine...We Finally Meet

Dress - Mossimo....other stuff? I have no idea. This dress shrunk like 3 sizes in the dryer (yes, I followed the instructions....and it still shrunk). So I just decided to give the dress to Cat instead. Doesn't she look adorable? Except for those last few faces. What can I say! She likes mocking me!

I'm back! Well, sort of. People, it's been a rough week again. I've barely checked other people's blogs and I've barely written anything on my own. In fact, I think this is my first official September post. It's not that I don't have time to blog...it's that I still don't feel better after getting really sick on the beach vacation last month. Anyways, keep me in your prayers 'cause long days at school are tough when I don't feel 100%

Anyways, I honestly don't think there is a more unflattering way to wear this skirt. But hey, I needed something quick to throw on last minute and...this is what happened! So yeah, a few pictures in the woods again. I went to my parent's house for the weekend so that's why. And, when I drove back home, I totally forgot to bring the camera with me! So I can't get outfit pictures this week :( I do, however, have a few more posts saved up from the summer. So I may use one or two of those I guess!

I suppose you're wondering about the post title. I believe I've shared with you the fact that caffeine has little to no effect on me. Which is awesome when you have insomnia and are usually tired all the time. One day I drank about two liters of mountain dew voltage, several cokes, and some coffee...and then I fell right asleep. 5 hour energy? Nah. Red Bull? Nope. Expresso? Nothing. Seriously though, it's not because I just got used to it, caffeine has never had any effect on me. Until yesterday. During web design my friends and I were so tired that when we got a break we went to go get coffee or something, anything, to wake us up. And one of my friends told me to try NOS. Um, well...it definitely worked! People, caffeine is amazing! I went from just-about-to-pass-out to omg-lets-go-run-a-marathon-and-do-tons-of-stuff. It was fantastic! I was typing at lighting speed! My handwriting was even worse than normal 'cause I was thinking so much faster than I could write! I could hear colors! I also couldn't sleep that night. But hey, it was great to actually be awake for once.

So tell me...what's you're caffeinated beverage of choice?
