la jolla

Today, since we had off from school, my mom, my brother and I went to the mall, as little bro was wanting some skinny jeans from PacSun. He's becoming this skater/punk/basketball player wannabe, and it is adorable to watch him go frantic over clothes.
He is so sweet, but we butt heads ALL THE TIME. And then, mid punch, we just burst into hysterics, for no reason, and laugh and laugh and laugh till our stomachs ache, and our eyes tear up, and my mom comes in, just to make sure we are breathing.
Anyways, so we went to the mall, and I really liked the Boy Fit jeans at American Eagle, but I didn't get them. I came home empty handed, but I am not too upset because that means I can save up even more to go shopping with my friend "R" at H&M, as we both have gift cards waiting to be spent. Plus, I want to save up a bit more extra money to buy some jodhpurs/drop crotch pants at Zara, the newest member of my favorite stores list.
While we were at the mall, my brother wanted to go inside Hollister, and so I followed him. I sort of wanted to go too, not to buy clothes (I have WAYYY too many graphic t's from that place, and totally regret it...I don't really like wearing them now...but I try to incorporate them into outfits as stylishly as possible, trying to look as much unlike a mall chick as possible...) but just because the smell and the music is captivating. I could just sit in that store forever and ever and ever, sniffing at all the clothes.
Creep? Maybe...shhh
So while the brother and mother were looking for cali-style stuff, I was sniffing through the fragrances...and found "THE ONE(S)." La Jolla, SoCal, and Malaia were the most amazing fragrances ever! You must go to Hollister just to try them out, and you will understand...

Ok, that being said...

FASHION WEEK...!

Some of the collections were disappointing, as a lot of bloggers have already stated, but others were amazing :)

My sad excuses for collages are coming up at the end of the week!

I am so sorry this post was so boring, but I needed to put something up for the week, or else you would have to keep reading about V-day...

Well, I have a chem test to study for...how I hate the subject :(

p.s. that outfit challenge hasn't been going too well, I got a lot of Audrey Hepburn challenges, but I haven't really started...so I guess that is going down the drain.

p.p.s I might do something similar to Amelia's challenge (<---click, then scroll to bottom of post) though...if that is ok with her...

i speak lies...

studying for midterms...after a lot of procrastination
see ya in a few.

outfit challenge suggestions are still welcome.
thanks to everyone who already suggested ideas :)
lise <3's you

p.s. thanks for wishing me luck on the midterms!
we shall see how they go.

fun with poladroid

poladroid -- try it...it is SO much fun!

dear readers,
I shall see you in another two weeks. Midterms are coming up, and all of them are going to be KILLERS.
Keep commenting/emailing about the outfit challenge. Hopefully, by the time I return, the weather shall be nice enough to stop me from wearing three layers of clothing on the bottom, and five on top, and looking like an over sized Indian marshmallow, and let me wear something nice. Then I can actually focus on committing to the challenge, and hopefully come up with something you all like.
I will leave you with a few more photos.
Until then, toodles :)

I wish my bedroom was like that..

ice skating and more

salut mes amis!

I am back with goodies. Well...not really, I just have a few photos to post.

This is an outfit I wore last week with one of my Christmas presents, a UO lace vest thing. It is amazingly soft, comfy, and looks GREAT. I love it. My friends do too -- a plus!

vest -- urban outfitters
gray top -- heritage 1981
pink tank -- pacsun
jeans -- jc penney
socks -- old navy

And the rest are photos I took when I was playing with my dad's camera (the one you see in the picture above).









I am off to go ice-skating, even though I have never ever ever tried it before in my life. Will tell you how it goes :)
