An incredible photographer. I just ran into her page and I simply have to share it lol (:

And not just any break, this is winter break!! meaning christmas and family and enough time to blog ;)
let me just tell you whats been going on by list. . . that way you can pick which ones you want to read:

-wow, where to start? haha

-my other half gave me a lovely beige knitted sweater that i absolutely adore!

-I was a part of the music academy's music concert on thursday. Singing in women's chorus and concert choir. It wasn't the best experience this year but every experience is worth something;)

-My government teacher gave us a do-or-die project for our grades. It was TERRIBLEEEE this project had me up almost every night because i couldn't do it through out the day and I had (notice the word 'had') SOO many other things to do in my life!!
but everything went well with it. She gave me appearance/presentation credit although i didn't present.

-Dance is becoming such a big deal to me. I want to reach my potential, knowing that i never will. . . because in case you did not know, dance is an art form that can't be perfected. there will always be more for you to learn and achieve. 

-I'm guessing the same goes for singers. . . you can never be perfect with the art form.

-as for fashion, I believe is a visual art, thus you can choose however large or small you want things to be. minimalism can be just as beautiful as anything else.

-I'm feeling dreadful nervous on choosing the right college. what will i do with my life? :o

-fashion club is feeling 'ehhhh' right now and its mainly my fault for not being able to put the time into it, nor the energy. But once we get back from break, things will get running. We're in the process of making a site on tumblr for you all to follow, the link will be posted as soon as the site is complete.-Yesterday, last day of school, my senior class had a delicious potluck during eighth period. It felt weird, VAPA isn't as connected as it used to be. Now it seems like we are all just different artistic people. hmmm .-afterschool that day, many of our music academy friends went down to pershing square where they have an ice rink available for the public :)
that was fun. 
-I'm officially with an 18 year old ;) haha, he's so proud that he's older than me.
-and now, today, it is a wonderful day. no stress.   well sort of..haha


pictures to come! <3

I'm selling this shirt for $18. Why am I selling it? it's kind of a long story but it's the first item into my shop.
Got my hat at H&M, and just to say that I've been feeling really hat frenzied but i don't have the money to be buying more hats.

The bag you see there with the velvety florals I made myself in costume class and I'm very proud of it. haha, i promised to make my friend one but I haven't found fabric like the one i used. i think someone used already :(
but i will make it for her eventually because i said i would!
