UNIFORMS?!?!

this is it. my school is doing it. they are 'reviewing and revising' our dress code. what exactly does this mean?? anything. one option: joining throngs of private catholic high schools around the world in uniforming their students. my first thought?? dread. gone will be the freedom of expression through what i wear, the freedom to make fun of the label whores [oh, did i really say that?? whoops] and the ability to easily differentiate between individuals.

the show that has changed my view on uniforms entirely is gossip girl. it seems that people either love it or hate it. some say they like the clothes, others say they think all they wear is expensive and tasteless. rather than sitting here arguing either way, i will show you outfits serena van der woodsen has worn to school on the show that i think are fantastic ways to wear a uniform. if i must don a plaid skirt daily, i would love to wear it in the same ways as she does. err, how the show's stylist says she will...

extraordinary in the ordinary

these are things that have recently inspired me... hopefully they will for you. i'm not really into runway fashions; while their creators are masterminds, i think the real geniuses behind it all come from ordinary people living their lives. so, i bring you a random assortment of ordinary people who i find fascinating. enjoy!!

p.s. so that i am not plagiarizing: none of these photographs were taken by me. they are all from fashion blogs or other people's posts.






























sorry for so many pictures. i just posted a bunch from my 'inspirations' folder on my computer. anyways, i hope you like them as much as i do!!!!!

hello, hello.

hello. so i guess this is my blog. i'm not really sure what this is going to end up being, but hopefuly it will be something good. some mix of photography, fashion, food... and whatever else i feel like posting. it's gonna be random; i can promise you that. i can't say i'll post daily, every other day, etc. i'm a spontaneous person, so it'll be whenever i feel like it. i don't know if this is an explanation of what this is, or if it's just an introduction. in any case, i like trying new things, and some people have told me i should make a blog, so here goes...

and i will leave you with a picture of what i woke up to this morning.
i love snow days. :)
