Wish List

I love clothes. I love jewelry, things that sparkle and shimmer, that stand out. I would look very theatrical if I could wear whatever I wanted. I like a mix of Urban outfitters, Forever 21, stuff from India, H & M, Marchesa, Native Americans and people in Asia and the Middle East, and things that I've made. I like the style of Natasha Kahn of Bat for Lashes, Marina Diamandis of Marina and the Diamonds, Lily Allen, Zooey Deschanel.

 oo random thought: J.D. Salinger passed away last Wednesday. Hmmm I always wanted to send him a letter before he passed away. I wanted to know why he was so reclusive and why he didn't publish some of his works.


I want these shoes, forever 21 about 23 bucks.
A great site that I basically have to check everyday is http://lookbook.nu


These Marchesa dresses are stunning. If I could afford a dress from this label I would definitely buy it from them for whatever formal or fun occasion. I love the beading and sequins, tiny mirrors, and bright colors that Marchesa flaunts. This line is exotic, a work of art, and gorgeous. Ok I should stop gushing. Clothes do matter, this I have learned. In middle School I always wore the same thing, jeans and a sweatshirt. Maybe sometimes I wore my hair differently, or put on a different blouse. But it was always drab and in black and boring. Towards the end of High School I started to wear different things, more feminine, and in better quality. Now, in my freshman year of college I'm making a big effort to look unique and being creative. I put barrettes or pins in my hair, wear headbands or bows. I can sometimes go nuts with the jewelry. Usually though, since it's always cold here in Boston, I wear my tops with a cardigan or sweater and definitely a scarf. Someone recently asked me if I really like fashion, well I guess I do, and I'm glad.

Dear little (despite me being the shorter one) brother

So i always lag behind, and i know the work that I have to do shouldn't be an excuse for not keeping up with this blog, cuz its not, I just don't have motivation, nobody really reads this, maybe my brother, yea i know you do. Anyways guess who came to my campus a couple weeks ago little brother. OBAMA MAMA!! haha sorry, to formally put it, President OBAMA!! Now I am not a democrat (or a republican) so why should I be excited you may ask? Well gee golly gosh, i don't know, it's the president and a historic one at that.
So me and two friends waited in the bitter cold since around nine am (others were in line as early as 4am). We "camped out". Blankets on the ground a laptop playing music and with a hot drink in hand, we chatted with other students, people took pictures and videotaped and interviewed people, there were protesters and people handing out flyers about God or the environment. The line grew and stretched as time went on, maybe a half a mile long. As 1 pm, the time that the doors would open, approached. We stood up in the excitement and fervor. The line got wider though, people from the street cut others in line. So as we approached the front we found out that no more people were allowed in. We were angry, sad, but mostly disappointed. The police shouldn't have better controlled the crowd, the University should have placed the event in a larger area. Although the announcement of the President's arrival was sudden there still should have been more organized planning.
Still it was incredible to see the huge amounts of people, passionate about politics. Whether it was the republicans for Scott Brown or the democrats for Martha Coakley. Yet I was disgusted of the people who degraded the President and the intense angry arguments. Many were also chanting "If it's Brown flush it down" an some other funny demeaning phrases.
I spent the whole day in this political war zone. The President's presence and speech though didn't help Coakley. Scott brown won. The weekend was quite interesting though. I won't forget it.

it's a good review of the presidents from GW to Clinton, it's funny, plus the 90's were incredible!!
