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...

pilgrim shoes and jumps

Happy Friday the 13th!
Hopefully nobody had an unlucky day :)

Well, my dearies, today for a field trip we went to NYC to the Microsoft Corporation, but that is not the point. The point is, I finally wore something worth an outfit post! YAY!

Lately (midterm, examination season) I haven't been too creative with my outfits (hoodies, t-shirts, jeans, sneakers), so today I decided to wear something fun, and nice (^_^)

Please excuse my bad photography, but I had to take these in a hurry.

This will be a quick post...just outfit pics, only because I want to do something special for Valentine's Day tomorrow

*click to enlarge*

see you tomorrow darlings :)

p.s. thank you all my readers for commenting so much :)

p.p.s but would you also visit my other blog? I need feedback (look at the sidebar ------>
it says VISIT ME HERE TOO!)

thanks

<3 lise

bad, lise! bad!

*cough* *cough* *COUGH* *COUGH*

I am so sorry my loverlies. I am terribly sick.

*ACHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!*

But first, I must thank all of my readers for being sho shweet and wishing me luck on my midterms...they all went very well except for the last two because I had a fever during those last two exams. My immune system is fairly strong, but the one time that it seems to lose a bit of its strength I pay the price. And when I get ill, my eyes start to water, and because of my stupidly teary eyes, I couldn't see the exam papers, and couldn't focus because I was coughing and sneezing, and blowing my nose so much, and not to mention the pounding headache, and my hand was shaking and...you get the picture.

So, other than that, thanks to your kind wishes, things were good :)

I send L<3ve to you all!!!!!

Anyways, because of my absence, I was unable to properly thank some very special people...

Loverly Jenna of Oh, Bother and sweet Indie Tea of Darjeeling Dreams tagged/awarded me with the

*drumroll*

AWARD!!!
yay!
Thank you so much!

Anyways, so I need to state 10 honest facts about myself ^_^ and then tag 7 bloggers...

So let us begin with the 10 honest facts things, shall we?

1. This one could be considered *gasp*-worthy, or just, an *oh, i knew that* sorta thang, but i am going to tell you about it anyways...Sammi-Lise is not my real name. *CUE GASP* It is a pseudonym I came up with only because I didn't want to put my true name down at first. But, now it is too late to change it, and I sort of like it ^_^ I apologize to everyone who thought I really was a Sammi-Lise, but to make you feel better, it is not entirely a lie (~.~) Sammi is my nickname, and Lise is my French name, so...yea. No, my name is not Samantha, although that is a lovely name :)
2. My neighbors don't like me because I am "too hyper."
   Their children told me so.
3. I hate phonies. I probably mentioned that already in another post, but yea.
   
4. I wish more people would read my other blog. I need the feedback. Take a look at the sidebar. ---------------------------------------------------------------->
   
5. I *GASP...again* was considering not blogging ever again the other day. I have no idea why. Actually, I was probably going dillusional. I was ill. You can't blame me. And no, I am not leaving the blog world any time in the near future.
6. I want sushi. NOW.
7. I have taken the original one with the "snobby bloggers" out, because I felt it was too mean of me. I am sorry to anyone I already offended. I feel like a horrid person. I don't really think anyone is snobby, I was just feeling a little crabby when I posted that. The thing is, I usually expect something in response when I comment on people's blogs, and most people are kind enough to take the time to respond. And when people don't respond, I get a bit angry, and let down, but it only lasts for like a day, and then it is gone ^_^ I realize that some people may not have the time, or as The Clothes Horse put it, some people see their blog as "a site" and don't neessarily want to communicate with people. I totally understand now, thank you for the explanation Clothes Horse :) I feel like a better person. Anyways, I have a new fact: I suffer from the fear of losing everyone I love, and hold dear to my heart.
8. I have been putting off making a package for two special people. I am sooo sooo sooooo sorry Cait and Emily! I shall send them to you ASAP! (maybe in a month or so? I need to get things organized first.)
9. I have to admit that this tag is getting hard.
10. I have a thing against online role-playing games. If you play them, don't take this personally, it is only my opinion, and there are loads of other people who love them. I am probably the odd one out.
    

Now to list 7 lucky bloggers who must get this award!

thanks to everyone who already suggested ideas :)
lise <3's you

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..

i am alive / inpiration part 2 / challenge me!

pictures found somewhere on the numero korea website

no, i am not dead...well, not technically. school is killing me. so much that i don't even care to capitalize my "i"s at the moment.

oh, and i am thinking of doing an outfit challenge...it will really be a challenge for me especially because my closet is so limited. why, with old, regretful purchases from aeropostale and hollister and abercrombie and so on.

but if you have any ideas for the challenge, comment away!

i really want to do it. it shall be so much fun.

and if you have any specific editorial (preferably not one of evening gowns and glamour. more like something simple, but challenging....i hope you understand) that has any specific outfit (see previous parentheses) that you want to challenge me to recreate, send it to me right away at my email address, which is somewhere in the side bar, you will find it, don't worry -------->

i am super excited to hear from you all!

oh, and don't kill me if i don't recreate a look perfectly. remember that i have a very, VERY, VERY limited closet...

maybe i should do a closet tour to give you an idea.

hmmmm...

toodles ^_^

P. S.
i just want to thank all of my readers for being sho shweet, and showing me so much luuurve, and wishing me luck on all my work. unfortunately, some of that work (more like most of it) did not go as expected, but i am hoping and praying that it turned out good.

thanks!

p.p.s. I am super (with a French accent) disappointed that no one, so far, has commented/emailed me with ideas for the outfit challenge. I really really really want to do it, and would love love love love love it if you suggested stuff :)

please?
