Let's Go to the Beach....

Even though I still have LOADS of work to do, I can't help dreaming about the summer. It's so close, yet feels so far away.
I don't know if I'm the only one with this problem but I have a hard time finding a decent one-piece bathing suit. I find one-pieces to be more flattering for my body, but I can't find one that I like and in my price range. It seems like no one makes cute one-piece swimsuits. I mostly find mono-kinis, or the swimsuits have giant holes cut out on the sides. This kind of defeats the purpose of getting a one piece for me, since I'll feel just as exposed.

Here's what I would wear to the beach:

I'm back

Right now I am in the middle of prepping for my finals, so this is going to be brief. I just wanted to take a small break from studying and update the blog for once.

Here's a wishlist of mine. I plan on finding and buying some, if not all that's here.

Wishlisting by mollyred featuring Anna Sui

Wishlist:
1. Lace tights (I know, it's summer and the trends starting to wear down but I can't get them out of my head.)
2. Floral bustier (two great things put together.)
3. Snake bracelet (I found one I really liked in this little jewelry store but I didn't buy it. Now I'm wishing I had.)
4. A loose fitting, printed/vintage looking jumpsuit
5. A chic black jumpsuit. (A tie at the waist is a must.)
6. Dark red lipstick (I'll be going to Sephora for this.)
7. YSL black gloss pur (I've been thinking about it since I saw it on Garbage Dress.)

Cut it off

I've always dealt with my unruly curly hair, and the best thing I ever did for it was when I got it cut shorter and layered last year. Now my hair is at my shoulders. Even so, I've always wondered how my hair would look even shorter. It's hard to tell how curly hair is going to act on any given day, but maybe a short hairstyle wouldn't be so bad. These girls can pull it off:


Hmm...not many options out there that work for me. Maybe I'll just stick with how my hair is now.

Toga

I was looking at Feathers Fashion today and every piece that I liked seemed to be by the label Toga. The clothes were absolutely fabulous. If only they were a little more reasonably priced...

I think this design is genius. It's hard to tell from the picture, but this is a tailored jacket with sheer panels at the shoulders. I'm in love with this idea.

On the website, this piece is described as a paneled bustier dress. I love the segmented look that this dress has, and think that it gives the typical bustier dress a modern twist.

I'm Lazy

I have a two week break from school and this is what I've done so far:
- Played Mario Kart
- Slept
- Eaten more matza than I've ever wanted to
Anyways, I need to start doing something productive or else I think I'll turn into a potato (the couch variety).
With the beginning of spring I am craving some new clothes. I wouldn't mind looking like any of these:

Life is Sweet

Finally, I have turned the magic age of 16. I can finally start driving, and besides, 16 sounds so much older than 15. Despite having to take a few tests in school today, I had a nice dinner with my family at my favorite Mexican restaurant and after we ate a delicious chocolate fudge cake made by my mom.

All in all I had a very good year. I tried a lot of new things (including snowboarding, lacrosse, planning a benefit concert, sewing with a serger, and starting this blog) but there are still so many things that I want to try. I've tried to be a more open person and I've been so much happier because of it. Everything's going really well for me right now.

Some inspiration for the rest of the year:

Save me

Lately I have been having many thoughts about splurging on some great pieces. I have to keep on reminding myself that I would probably be better off if I saved my money for something I REALLY need such as contacts or college. But it's so hard to not dream about these:

Well, my birthday is coming up, so maybe it wouldn't hurt to get just one of these....

Also, I tried out a recipe yesterday to make ladyfingers, and they taste fine but the batter wasn't thick enought so they shapes of all of them turned out very flat and spread out. Anyone have any tips?
