Wild At Heart

You know what's sad? I have more guys reminding me that I haven't blogged than anyone else. Honestly, I haven't had the motivation to blog, but I gotta compete with Jerry Jubran (THE BEAST), and the lovely David has been pestering me to blog... so here it is!

Me, along with every other student at my school, and probably every other kid in the world, is about ready to be done with school. I'm at the point where I just don't want to do any of my work, and I've been really tired and moody at school. Oh, and someone must hate me because they've super glued my locker shut TWICE in one day... So now, I'm home to a new locker right underneath the main stairs and where I feel like I'm exposed to the whole school. Considering I was in the loser hallway the whole year, I'm going to have to adjust to the mass influx of students around my new home. I need to have a APUSH burning party. I wonder how many trees have to be killed every year because of that class. I practically have a novel of APUSH notes.

The subject of hipsters came up in math class the other day. There was only about 6 kids in class that day because most of the seniors were at Valley Fair for physics day. What exactly is a hipster? My old locker neighbor said I'm the definition of a hipster, but, I think I only look like one. I don't act like one... however "hipsters" act like. I mean, like I do gymnastics and run track, I work really hard at school, and I'm quite conservative. I'm not the free spirit, snobby person that "hipsters" are like. He said I'm a total hipster because I'm artsy, I take photos, I have a fashion blog, and I shop at Urban Outfitters. With this outfit I definately could see how someone could see me as a hipster... but I really don't think I am? I'm just expressing myself, because I hate to dress like "everyone else". Granted, I have my lazy days haha






This totally makes me wanna go to some huge indie music festival... like South By Southwest in Texas. That festival just sounds gnarly.

REDDDDD

Last weekend, I dyed by hair RED. Well, it was more like getting blonde high lights and putting a red toner on my hair... and this is what it looked like.

It's kind of hard to tell in this photo, but it really was red. It was like a... vodka tomatoe sauce red.

However, when I took a shower 2 days later (as instructed by the colorists) it looked like someone DIED in my shower (no pun intended). There was red all over my shower, and I ended up with orange red hair. Soon it started to fade, and it looked like halloween on top of my hair. I was not happy!!!!! Now, however, the color has changed once more, and it's more a copper color. I think it's pretty. Not as "edgy" as I hoped for... but it'll have to do. Yes, I realize also that I look a hella more Asian, which is NOT my goal. Being adopted when I was 3 months old, I am completely "white washed". I don't consider myself "Asian" ( I mean, sure I was born in Asia, but that's it), I feel uncomfortable around un"white washed" Asians, and I have no desire to go back to the homeland either.

With all this "anti-Asian" talk going on, I really want to get a tattoo that says "Made in Korea", like "made in China" that you see on pretty much every product sold in the United States. My mom thinks it's adorable, however my state has this stupid law stating that no person under the age of 18 can get piercings or tattoos. I"m thinking of making my way to the closest state nearby to get my tattoo done for my 17th birthday!

Guess who's going to Prom as yearbook photographer... THIS GIRL! My dear friend is going to Prom as a Sophomore, and I get to go as photographer. I'm totally okay with not having a date because A)I'm not a junior or senior, so I have two years to go to Prom with a date, and B) it's very hard to have a date to a dance and take photos for yearbook. Semi didn't turn out too well, and I can attribute my job to part of that.

Oh and one more thing, I recieved my 0g t rex tunnels in the mail on Saturday! Time to start stretching those ears one more time!

Whip It

Then I decided to have some fun....



I know. This is how I get ALL the guys...

Cozy Lumberjack Student Thing...

So where I live, there's a saying that goes like this: "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes and it will change". This is most certainly true. The other day it was 50 degrees and sunny, now, however, it's snowing sideways! As great as the snow is, we're getting tired of it. It's almost April, and we still have snow. Something isn't right.

Sorry for the boring outfit, I just thought I'd dress cozy for this. The scarf was knitted for me by a dear friend as my Christmas gift. It's 100% wool, and oh so amazing.

PS: HI DAVID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Je le veux

Happy Friday everyone! The weather here is starting to warm up, which is nice, except for the mud, slop, and dog poop ALL OVER MY YARD from this past winter! It's quite gross actually. I got myself out of bed just to talk some photos, so please excuse the messy hair, and lack of makeup!

I got this vintage fur coat from a fundraiser for my old school. Every year they have a huge garage sale, and this lovely piece was left over, so it was given to me. Granted, I'll probably never ever wear it out in public, but it's a very beautiful cape.

Picture taking was a lot easier today, maybe because the sun wasn't as harsh today as it was the other day. I also got some random items found in my garage to prop up my camera. Hope y'all like it (:

shorts: vintage levi's, shoes, coat & belt: all vintage, shirt & tights: Target

Star and Dakota want to say hi~

Have a fun weekend!

La Dress by Simone

Hey guys! I just wanna thank you all for reading my blog again. It's been rough trying to start this thing up again, but I promise to try to keep at it this time!

I wanna take a moment to share with you a fabulous designer! Her name is Simone and she designs simple yet sophisticated pieces. Her collection is called La Dress, and I found myself attracted to the large number of classy dresses, and the best thing? Each dress can come in many different colors to match your style. You could go from the office to a night out on the town in her dresses. I really love how each color of each dress, she offers you style advice on how to wear her pieces. So, to show you some of her designs, and the awesome style advice she gives, I took the advice directly from her website for these five dresses and put it all into one place.

'




This international designer has created a name for herself with some of her work being shown all over Europe and America. Being a girl with short legs I love how she also shortens the dress for free, so you can show off as much, or as little leg as you want. If you're looking for a classy, sophisticated look, go visite her website, ladress.com and start shopping!

Inside All Of Us Is a Wild Thing

I have found it very difficult to take self portraits with my DSLR. It's so chunky, and I haven't boughten myself a quick release mount for my tripod yet. So taking these photos took forever. Trial and error my friends, patience as well.

I'm in love with this skirt, the colors and print are just yummy. I also have those boots in brown, and they're pretty much all I've been wearing this winter. I just bought the coat too, because my old was just not warm enough! Yes, my glasses are real glasses. I feel like a loser walking around wearing these because these are the type of glasses kids wear to look "cool'' and "hipster". But hey, I can actually see now.

Spring's Finest

Spring is just around the corner. Actually, it's here. I'm just waiting for the warm weather!!! Here's some of Spring's top trends, and where to find them!

Winter Wonderland

Even though it is technically Spring, there's still a good amount of snow left on the ground. Winter this year has been dreadful. Incessent snowfall, even the most snow loving Minnesotans want it all to just go away. Wanna know what's funny too? Every time we received a heavy load of school, it was either on the weekend or days we already didn't have snow. Obviously, the man up there wants us all little kids to get a good education. We're apparently close to the record of the most snow in one year. How sad is that?

I'm on Spring Break right now. As much as I love not having school, I find myself bored quite often. My mom is subbing all week, my brother has school, so there's really not much to do. Today some of my gymnastics team mates and I are making a scrapbook for our coach as an end fo the year gift. Yeah, we're scrapin' like a bunch of crazy old ladies. Should be fun!

Hello, Stranger

Hey guys, so I haven't blogged in ages. Since the summer time I believe, which, is not okay. I'm so sorry!!!!!!!!!!!! So what's happened since summer? Well, I bought a DSLR for myself, and I LOVE IT SO MUCH! So I've tried to improve my photography quite a bit. I've got a flickr now, so y'all should check it out! flickr.com/photo/anakim33/
