Rollin' in style

If you read my previous posts, you would know that I had previously tried to start a fashion blog. Let's just say it wasn't very successful (cough 3 posts...). Even after I had given up, I couldn't help but think about the life of a fashion blogger. This delusive impression of vintage class, refinement, and glam continues to pull me back into the world of shallow, wallet-costly ideas; ideas that, to be frank, are only hopeful, and also incredibly far fetched. I mean, just look at my oh-so trendy outfit today... This should give you a clear picture of why these aspirations never became a reality... 

I wouldn't say I have a propensity for styling and fashion like some bloggers. I just am incredibly interested! Now, I could make up a ton of excuses as to why I won't make a fashion blog like "nothing works unless you're tall", "I'm not photogenic", "I'm a student so I have to be practical." but I won't. I do not claim to be a fashion blog or a lifestyle blog. I honestly don't know what this is... But what I do know is that I will post on here WHATEVER I want! I don't care if you disagree/ you think I am a mess. This is my blog for my own entertainment and release. If you would like to take inspiration from it whether it's some school advice or my incredibly fashionable outfits (<---) then please do! So here's to my first fashion post.
Happy Halloween!

IB Dying

Now being a junior is tough as it is, but being an IB candidate is basically handing your heart out on a silver plate to a group of IB examiners. Going into junior year with a negative mindset, believe it or not, helped prepare me a ton. Expecting the worse out of anything has made unlikely surprises a common feat in my daily life. Nearly a month into this school year, I've already encountered multiple of these lovely surprises in the form of A's (IB Chem Test & IB HL Math Project HOLLA)! However, these surprises came with a few inconsequential sacrifices--my sanity and my sleep. To better understand the workload and difficulty that I go through here's a look at my classes: IB Chinese 4, IB SL Chemistry, Accelerated US History, IB HL Stagecraft, IB HL American Literature, IB HL Precalculus.

Those who are trying to get through junior year, I'm in the same boat with you. Allow yourself one day of the week to do what you want without the worries of school. Try to keep it sane and calm. (I'm going to eat these words later...) Now freshmen and sophomores! Honestly, live it up. Get your work done, but don't stress. This is the time to live and enjoy your high school years so take advantage of these beautiful, stress-free years. Seniors, good luck with college apps, nuff said. 

Being a student is hard so don't let anyone undermine your job and the work you do.

Let's Get Back to Normal

Looking back at my feeble attempt to start a fashion blog, I couldn't help but ask myself,  "Why?". This short lived dream of a fashion blog lacked any sense of intimacy, and to be frank, it just was a big ball of suck. Granted, I only had two or three posts, it still didn't represent the person I was/am. In this newly revived blog, I won't be focusing much on the shallow trends that concealed large parts of my life, but I'll be entering these online diaries to capture these days as a student, friend, and innovator. I hope you enjoy.

SPINNNERS

I received these on Valentine's Day, but I didn't post a picture until now. I present to you the Steve Madden SPINNNERS! I've already made so many outfits for these lovelies, but one problem I have is that they're a bit big on my ankle. I imagined them to be a bit nicer, but I'm still satisfied with my purchase. Oh, and ordering from the Steve Madden website was a great experience. I received my package within two days of ordering! 

Best,
