New

So, just now I downloaded the newest version of MSN and with it came something that claims to help you blog; Windows Live Writer. I figured I might as well test it out, and if I don’t like it I can always go back to blogging off of my blogspot account online. What I like so far is that the window I’m typing in is the same width and font as the actual post will be, so I can see exactly how things will look. There are also three tabs at the bottom of the screen that say “edit”, “preview”, and “source” which is pretty handy because in the edit tab you see the size of your post, but not the rest of your blog, in the preview tab you view your post as it would look on your blog, and the source tab is to edit HTML. Okey, so I have just fooled around a bit with uploading pictures. Apologies for the webcam picture, but my camera is in use for my English project. Anyways, the scarf is from mango and its off-white, but definitely not cream and it is incredibly soft. I love it, although I’m a little worried that I’ll get it dirty.

So I all you have to do is insert a picture and you can choose how to align it in the text, AND since you can view it as it will look on your blog it’s really easy to format everything so that it looks nice :)

OOh, and normally, I use Poladroid to make polaroid-y pictures (I like it the most), but this program also has something like it and it turned out alright. It’s just a border though and doesn’t actually change the photo, so I’ll stick with Poladroid.

I’m incredibly tired right now. School has been a killer this week, plus I was sick but still had to show up because if I miss math I’m in trouble. We’ve recently started trig and so we're doing the whole sine, tangent, cosine, secant, cosecant blah blah blah and now we’re doing revolutions and radians and how to convert from radians to degrees. Some days (everyday) I wonder if I will ever survive HL math next year… Hopefully.

In addition to tired, I’m also in pain, because I got my lovely braces tightened. Joy. I can’t wait to get them off and feel my smooth teeth :D Although they have kind of just become part of me and how I look, but I can’t say I’ll miss them. Looking forward to winter break because I get to see my best friend Teresa who moved to Portugal last year. I haven't seen her since summer and it’s been much too long. A week with her will be incredibly nice.

Oh, so all and all I would definitely recommend Windows Live Writer and I’m going to start doing all of my posts from here and then I also won’t have to use photobucket so much. Writer is simple and easy, plus.. well its cool. Next time I’ll have to try out this whole “set publish date” business and see if it actually uploads when I set it to. Sorry the post is soo long, I love writing and I haven’t had many opportunities today ;)

Slouch

So today I had planned on putting up a picture of what I was wearing, but once again my camera is out of batteries. (It might have helped to charge it the last time I said it was out of batteries..) Instead I found a picture of one of the things I wore. It's a simple black hoodie from the men's section of h&m, meaning it has a very potato-sack, slouchy fit; I love it. It's super comfortable and since it's black it doesn't seem as casual as a grey one would. I wore it over an Urban Outfitters black and white tribal print tank with black skinny jeans and converse. I should have worn my Nine West leather boots, but I hurt my back last week and so the heels have to wait.

I was browsing for a picture of someone without makeup, but either got scary celebrity candids or the "no makeup using a ton of makeup look", but I stumbled across these pictures. Quite a laugh if you ask me. The reason I was looking for someone with no makeup is because it was one of my resolutions for this year to wear less. It's actually been pretty easy; I havn't worn any the past few weeks, plus it motivates me to maintain my perfect skin. (Thank you mom and dad :D) I think makeup is overrated.. if you're wearing so much that when you take it off people are confused and don't recognize you, it's too much.

View from the Balcony

So this weekend the sun actually came out, although only until around 5, but it was out. I went out on my balcony, since all of the snow has melted off of it and took a couple pictures. The shoes are Nine West and have suffered some abuse (some of the studs fell off) and one has some mysterious pink substance on it, but they are incredibly comfortable nonetheless.

Waiting Til Summer

I'm counting the days until school gets out and summer begins. I'm really looking forward to visiting my best friend in Portugal and wearing these shoes. They are my favorite pair because they are incredibly comfortable and really unique. I got them at Nordstrom last summer and cannot wait until it warms up enough to wear them.

Resolution

So, since my blog resolution was to put up more things that I wear, here is the first picture. The jeans I just bought this Christmas at Urban Outfitters and I love how they are classic blue jeans. The mustard shirt I've had for some time now, I just didn't know what to pair it with. I really don't like the mustard/deep purple combination that is really big this season, but I wanted another strong color and this grey was perfect. It has just the right amount of blue in it so that it contrasts the shirt. The bracelets are black glass beads from my mom. I went through her jewelry and asked for stuff she doesn't wear. I plan on adding in some gold charms i got at Nordstrom so I'll post about that once I've gotten my act together and done it.

Dedicated to V and our obsession with mustard yellow. <3

Ferragamo

This is the gorgeous scarf that I got for Christmas. The colors are much richer when you actually see it, but I love the acorns and fall flowers going on. The rich purples and browns really stand out against the black and I know that this scarf will become a must-wear item in my wardrobe :)
