ROLLER SKATES

Yeah, I'm excited. Look-> ♥
They're the real thing! Ahahaha!
If anyone wants to buy them for me, feel free.

Russian Chic

Chanel's Pre-Fall 2009 collection had a definite Russian influence.

Check out the review, as well as the entire collection, at style.com.
There are a lot of big head pieces, furry boots, and gold tights!

While the collection won't be in stores until next year, the nail polishes are already out. The colors are: OR DE RUSSIE (Russian gold), a deep, shimmery gold; NUIT DE RUSSIE (Russian night), a dark blue; and FEU DE RUSSIE (Russian fire), a smoky purplish-red. Nylon has pictures.

And finally, the short film that was shown before the show, Paris-Moscou, is at Chanel News.

Holiday Cheer

• You know you can't resist Fake Karl's Christmas carols. "Chanel night, Karl night!
  Fashionistas do quake at the sight" !!!
• Hard Candy cosmetics is having a holiday sale. I thought they went out of business...?
• Brave the cold (like the white Russians, haha) in this hat.
  
• "An Internet Christmas." I laughed so hard when I read it. I heart nerd jokes!

Things to do this week!

Yeah, I'm posting a lot lately. I'm just bored and don't really feel like studying for midterms (even though I probably should... oh well, I will later).

• Cultivate a collection of hats. Then, if you're not feeling very inspired, you can just put one on and BAM! Instant outfit!
• Take random pictures of things. I've been taking my camera everywhere and snapping away; the photos can be interesting! I have at least 10 of my room, shot from different angles, as well as odd arrangements of shoes.
• Read for fun! Well, maybe not this week. Or next week. But in two weeks, when we finally get out of school for the year (oh, yes)! Try something actually intelligent, not just those cheesy teen romances (however addicting they may be). I want to read Huckleberry Finn, because apparently it's much better than The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. And yes, I've actually never read it.
• Declare your love for inanimate objects. They need to be appreciated, too!

Untitled (Maybe I don't feel like giving it a title, okay?)

I feel so unstylish, after looking at a bunch of people on Lookbook. Seriously.

Also, this girl is 14. And has her own fashion magazine! Sheesh.

(P.S. My hair is frizzing. Aaaah!)

Oops

My time zone was off, so if you were looking at the time that I posted things and it seemed weird, that's why.

It's fixed now, though!

Let it snow :)

I love cheesy Christmas songs. And Christmas time in general. I guess its strange, because I'm not even Christian, but I love it anyway. The holiday has become sort of an American holiday, as opposed to a Christian holiday.

Things I want this Christmas:

-New running shoes. I want to get into running, because my speed/endurance is abysmal. Plus, it's really affecting my tennis. One of my new year's resolutions will be to run more!
-This ballet DVD. I did ballet when I was little, and I really want to learn it now, but I'm not going to join some class full of five-year-olds. This is the closest to a class, and the reviews say it's supposed to be good.
-Victoria Beckham's book. I heart Victoria Beckham, and clothes, so a book by Victoria about clothes? MAJOR! (haha)

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful. And since we've no place to go... let it snow, let it snow, LET IT SNOW! (please!)

Zooey

Currently obsessed with Zooey Deschanel. Her style is beyond amazing. I would wear all of those outfits.

Also, her album, She & Him Volume One, a collaboration with M. Ward, is great.
