hi all my beautiful bloggers

I am currently in Boston and weridly, apartment shopping in Charlston. 

I am thinking about moving here if the fashion industry is doing well here.

And even more weird...

I haven't bought anything!! I am pretty proud

considering I have to live in Italy this summer...

aurgh.

BUT BUT BUT

suchhhh good photography coming.

I am really excited to show you all.

Check back Friday. I will be home temporarily 

before heading off to Michigan for the weekend.

cheers!

EDIT:

one more thing...put up A to Zoe the book by Rachel Zoe on ebay

click here to bid!

yum yum yummmm

I rather not think about the exchange rate

from the american dollar to british pound.

I am absolutely in love with these items from Topshop

and I'm almost considering just forgetting 

how terrible our dollar is doing.

Sorry I've been so absent from the blog world.

These last two weeks have been insane

and I leave for Boston this evening, so I won't be posting until Sunday.

More things to come on ebay today! I'll do a post about them before I leave.

Some dresses and skirts from jcrew and H&M

 and another few random things.

3 week countdown

In three weeks, I will be officially moved out of my dorm

and done with high school.

The start of summer! This means I will have tons tons of fun stuff

up on ebay, more photography, and better outfits.

I've honestly been so busy lately. I actually broke out

in hives from stress this morning.

But it is the weekend, so I plan on catching up on sleep.

Speaking of, I leave for Boston on Sunday.

Anyone live there? Give me stuff to do!

what I wore today + BNB

khaki romper via ebay.

gotta run! so much to do I don't even have time to write.

cheers!

I thought I would play around with my new dress

and come up with some options.

I have tons of amazing ideas,

but a  lot of my clothes are at home now

since school is almost over.

I also got to put these lacy socks to work! 

My mom gave them to me knowing I could put them to use

and I think they are a fun twist to regular socks you see with heels.

I also put more on ebay, and there is tons to come.

Click each link to place a bid!

Urban Outfitters long chained necklace

Norstroms light green skirt

Urban Outfitters bamboo hoops

Puma turquoise track jacket

in the process

sorry about the delay on ebay items.

I meant to put them up Saturday,

but things ended up crazy.

tons of skirts, jewelry and shoes will be up this afternoon.

This is my new coat, and the shoes are now for sale!

Steve Madden red patten leather shoes.

Never worn (except here...)

You can start bidding here!

I leave for Boston on Sunday, so things 

might be a little slow this week

but I have some great ideas for that new h&m dress of mine.

I'll try and get photos up asap!

BNB!

{photo taken by me}

Came home last evening from school.

I went straight to H&M and picked up

this dress & bag,

and a coat....yes. coat.

It is lightweight, but I LOVE the detailing on it.

(photos coming soon)

I am also putting tons up on ebay tonight.

Skirts, shoes, jewelry, and purses that haven't really been worn.

I will post more soon!

i get to play dress up tomorrow!

{Photos taken by me}

My shoes came today!

I got them while I was at work

and of course I tried them on for my boss

and other workers.

They just laughed and said, "Caroline and her shoes..."

and they all decided they want to keep them.

I have an event I have to go to tomorrow,

so I have a real reason to dress up!

Maybe I'll make a fun outfit with my new shoes...

ladykiller

I forgot I owned these pants!

A little rolling at the bottoms and some crinkling

makes them perfect for the look I wanted.

I didn't have time to do anything with my hair

due to the insanity of my recent schedule

so I tossed it up in my (recently found!!) berret from UO.

I actually like how it turned out!

cheers.

to buy or not to buy

The darling blogger, The Fashion Robot, has inspired me to buy these.

Question I have on my mind is do I have the money for them?

(set at about $60)

I can just see myself running around the cobble stone streets

of Italy this summer paired with my infamous gladiator wedges.

So, I am going to ask for everyone's advice.

Do I buy?

I can't believe it.

Ebay has forgiven me for my rebellious ways, and I now have a functioning account!

This means all sorts of goodies are going to be for sale up until july 1st to make me money for ITALY!!

So tonight here is what I put up:

Silver leather motorcycle bomber ( bought in Italy!)

Original Nike Dunks

Pink ribbon ballet flats

EDIT:

new canvas wall art from Urban Outfitters now up!

click here to bid!!

another rainy day. time to crawl into bed.

It is so cold today, and rainy on top of it.

I have nothing to do but crawl in bed

and make up for lost sleep from last night.

I think I'm over the "geek" glasses thing.

They add such character, but they're too overdone.

korean fashion!

I found this lovely website from Hot Chocolate and Mint

that is a Korean store.

I think I will be ordering that jacket in the photos above

once I get my friend to translate everything for me.

I've never been one for japanese fashion, but clearly

korean fashion is completely different.

Hopefully they ship to the US!

Hi, this isn't me. Nice to meet you.

I (attempted) to recreate Frida Gianna's look for Gucci

from the Fall 2008 RTW line that I'm obsessed with.

Turns out most of my clothes are home,

so I improvised, BIG TIME.

sorry for the terrible photo, my camera misread the lighting.

The "rocker-chic" makeup was so much fun to do.

A complete opposite than what I am used to.

Last time I wore  thick eyeliner, I was in 7th grade

trying to be grown up.

It is safe to say that it will take awhile for this look to sink in

in order to wear it out.

done and done

This week has been insane, so I want to apologize yet again for the

lack of decent posts. I have been wearing my uniform faithfully

and living off (nonfat) iced lattes. 

So many projects and so many tests.

and this weekend is going to be nuts too!

It's my bestfriends 18th birthday tomrrow, so we are celebrating.

Plenty of photos to come.

But to celebrate spring, I just ordered these bad boys:

and on sale! with promotion codes, my totaly was $44. 

thanks, Old Navy !

Outfits for Italy, part one.

for your enjoyment!

YOU pick!

Which shoes do you like best?

remember-anonymous people can comment too...I think.

I think I'm getting a little predictable with my gladiators. 

Is predictable bad? 

Choose!

WhoWhatWearDaily...again!

 

WhoWhatWearDaily.com put me up on their main site!

 They put me up among a few others

as inspiration for spring.

My day is starting off lovely!

post worthy? urgh.

sorry guys. I've been so busy since I got back.

With a huge project and test tomorrow, I had to take these photos

really quickly. 

It isn't exactly original or inspiring, but I figured it was something to look at.

hopefully be back soon!

too tired, too lazy.

we got back last night,

and I didn't fall asleep until 5:45 this morning.

I've just been lounging around the house

so I have nothing exciting to post.

This was just  another outfit I wore out in California.

Hopefully I'll have something fun to post soon!

a new all time high. (!!)

{photos taken by me}

To my absolute surprise,

my blog reached 698 views yesterday.

It has been slowly working its way up,

but this was the new record.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for checking it out!

It seems like everyone is enjoying it, 

which inspires me to keep goin'.

These are my latest shots of my friends baby boy, Greg. 

I'm working on a photo project that deals with just hands.

And I just love his expression in the first one. hah!

ps- I'm getting on the plane to head home today.

Back to having an actual life...urgh.

photos by Kirsten Ellis, Santa Barbara CA

On Sunday, I got my senior pictures taken by

my sisters good friend Kirsten. 

Check them out and tell me what you think!

If you are in the Santa Barbara area, and you're

interested in her photography,

feel free to contact me! I can give you more info.

These are just my favorites.

You can see more of Kirsten's work here.

a chilly day in southern California?

It is freezing here today!

I decided to try out FashionToast's idea

with pairing socks and sandals.

Just a quick run into town had people staring at my feet.

How fun! hahaha

stripes and plaid

While the girls cooked in the kitchen,

I read. 

Needless to say, they weren't very happy with me.

{details of the dress }

return of the gladiator wedges

{photos taken by me}

I told WhoWhatWear that I won't be taking these wedges

off my feet during Spring,

and I plan to stick by that.

ps- isn't my sisters lemon tree adorable?

a day up in the tree

I spent a moment or two reading and eating a nectarine 

in my sisters peach tree.

It was relaxing, until my legs started to cramp up.

I bought this new skirt! 

It is laced with tule at the bottom and ribbons make patterns

(detailed shot)

baci!
