catch up

Well well well, if it isn't Ms. Absentee-Blogger.

[Yeahyeah, wearing those overused 3D-glasses-with-lens-popped-out. But I like them! Thanks, Eugene (:]

Apologies!! I feel like I have not updated in such a long time and it makes me soo sad!! =( I have missed posting dearly. School definitely ruins my fun. I basically put everything on the back burner when school starts, as is evidenced on getting behind on 1) Kpop news 2) fashion blogs 3) Lookbook.nu/Chictopia. Argh!!!! There are not enough hours in the day.

However, I did not put fashion news on the back burner! As is evidenced by my winning two lovely pink pencils from the Art Institute of Dallas because I answered some questions in a quiz correctly when a guest speaker came to talk to our fashion design class. Namely, I was the only person so far in the day [I have 5th period] to know that Christian Siriano is collabing with Payless for some more affordable Egyptian-style shoes and handbags [which I must get my hands on]. Okay, sorry, I just wanted to brag.

Anyways, here are some things I promised.

First, the TOMS shoes I decorated for my teacher during the summer. I've seen her wearing them a few times and it makes me happy anytime someone wears something I've made! (: [Sorry, picture quality is kind of crap because they're all blurry.]

Before.
Halfway through.Finished product.

Secondly, this is a random collage I made one night. It took me 2 hours and it broke my heart every time I had to cut out a picture when I liked what was on the back side of the page as well. It acts as inspiration to me now.

Also, we reached 200 members in our Facebook group and 2000 page views! The guys' clothing post will come.... soon?? I don't know, I'm doing my best!!

Here's my entry into the Chictopia+Forever21 "Back to School" Contest. Elaine and I really want to win because the prize is a $250 giftcard to Forever21 but I don't know what our chances are. We'll see!

Candies Short-Sleeved Pinstriped Blazer = Kohl's ??
Floral T-shirt = H&M $10?
Gray shorts = F21 $12?
Black floral lace leggings = F21 gift
Red Converse high-tops = gift

Also, expect another entry VERY soon. (: And I am superly excited to see the collections from NYFW. Can't wait to see what's in store for Spring 2010.

Phew, that was a long entry. Okay, that's it for now.

PS: Look, Chictopia has an article about the Anna Sui for Target line that Elaine covered a little while ago. Check it out here.

semi-hiatus

Elaine and I talked about this about a week ago, and I guess it's time to make it official, after receiving Eugene's latest comment.

She asked why we didn't talk about Rodarte having a line at Target. I saw an article about it a few days ago and showed it to Elaine and we both ooh'd and ahh'd about how excited we were but didn't post. [Btw, if you want to see about it, read this. To me, Rodarte is like pure walking art. I am excited.]

Honestly, we are both just swamped right now. We don't have time to keep up with this blog at the moment. We are really sorry about it, but we're high school seniors and we need to worry about college. I have band camp for 8 hours a day and then I also have to worry about summer reading homework, college applications, and correspondence classes [therefore leaving me with very little time to even keep up with anything else in my internet life]. Elaine is working hard on college apps and summer reading and correspondence.

I'm so sorry that we won't be keeping up with this since we just started. We're planning on ending this "semi-hiatus" at around winter, because we know we will be done with apps by then and then the nervous waiting begins. But. Never fear. We're not going away entirely! I'm sure if something is pressing, we will still blog about it. Once school starts, outfit posts will be plenty, but only because those are super fast and easy. But no more long lengthy rants [at least for me...].

Once again, I am sorry. But we will be back, and back with a vengeance, ready to conquer the world!

Btw, once our Facebook group reaches 200 members [it's perching precariously at 198 right now], I'm going to make my first post about men's fashion. It will take me a lot of work because I don't know much about where to shop for guys, but I will figure it out. I'm researching. I was planning for it to be a surprise, but oh well. I know the guys will be excited since they keep asking me. It will happen. I promise. I will forego all other things I am doing just to make the post, in celebration of having 200 members and reaching 1600 page views. Thank you all, for all your support. And sorry again for this hiatus.

another reason to love target

pictures of anna sui's collection for target are now available! anna's will be the second in target's designer collaboration series (different from their go international designers). the collection will be in stores and online beginning SEPT 13TH and best of all - the designs were inspired by serena, blair, jenny, and vanessa! of gossip girl, if you didn't know :|||
