ballerina project

My best friend is a beautiful ballerina who has dedicated her life to ballet. When I was with her the other day she showed me something that I just absolutely fell in love with. It's called the Ballerina Project. Simply what it is, is that a photographer takes pictures of ballerina's in the outside world of dance. It is absolutely gorgeous and stunning!

resolutions

Well, it's coming close to the end of the year ! Such an exciting time for good change. I intend to keep my resolutions as long as I possibly can.... maybe for 2 months this year!! (as opposed to 2 weeks last year :\) whooppss. I think that I can do it... I need some change in my life right now. Although I'm young, I need to start thinking of my future in the fashion world. That is the one thing that keeps me motivated and excited. It is something I definitely want to pursue when I grow up. It's a hard world but I'm definitely up for the challenge.
Without further ado.................

MY RESOLUTIONS:
1. Eat healthier
2. Exercise more
3. Stop being so reserved
4. Talk to people more [learn about them]
5. Take risks
6. Don't be afraid of what people think
7. Express myself
8. Keep a positive attitude
9. KEEP THESE RESOLUTIONS!

well I think I'll keep them for maybe 5 days? Not sure, maybe less... :) But I'm going to try hard!

Fashion wise: I think I just need to stop being afraid to wear what I want to wear. It's hard in high school not to conform to what everyone else is wearing because you're afraid of what people are going to say about you. I really need to get over that because, to be honest, it's just stupid... I think that I'll slowly get to this but it will take time!

I think 2011 has been a good year, it didn't suck too bad but it wasn't amazing. I grew up a lot this year; I got a job, started to take responsibilty for myself, and chose the path I want to follow. 2012 will be the year to carry these things out.

On a less serious note...
my newest obsession:
-Jean Shirts
-Oversized Sweaters
-Vintage Purses
-Mid-Ankle Boots
-Blush :)

Starting off with the jean shirts....





effortless and cute!

Oversized Sweaters




I know I'm a little late in this trend considering it was a fall '11 one but it's still winter and I find myself picking up my oversized sweaters when I don't know what to wear!


Vintage Purses




They add flavor to a plain outfit!
Mid-Ankle Boots
Not just any mid-ankle boots butttttt....
Steve Madden's Mertie Boots!!
I just got these for Christmas (actually it was an early present because I couldn't wait that long to wear them!!) and I have worn them every day since. I actually have a pair of Steve Madden oxford shoes and my mom yelled at me when I told her I wanted these because they basically are the same thing, just different heights. But, they aren't! Some things you can't wear the oxfords with and some you can't wear the Merties with. I recommend these shoes tremendously! But if you buy them, make sure to get a half size bigger than your foot because they are a tight fit :)



Blush
Not just any blush.......... buuttttttttttt
Benefit's Posie Tint!
So a new cosmetic store, Benefit, just came to my town and let me tell you... they work magic. But this blush is probably the best thing they sell. It isn't just a blush... it's a lip stain too! The blush is liquid and you just gently pat it on your cheekbones until you achieve your perfect colorful face! It also works to make your lips shiny and beautiful. Now that I have it, I'm pretty sure I can't live without it. (is that bad to say? haha)





I wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year!
