In the meantime

While my camera situation is fixing itself, I figured it wouldn't hurt to work on makeup. I'm currently home and quite bored. It's about 6:12pm and it's sunset. I remembered buying the Smashbox Mother Earth Palette a while back and there were a lot of blues and oranges. I know my color wheel - they're complimentary. How in the world do you get them to blend?


I just saw how it works. Something like this:

I've done some cool things lately

I haven't blogged in about a good 2 months. In that time, I've done a good lot:

- finished student teaching
- acquired a teaching wardrobe
- acquired a bunch of hats
- made giant mess of my apartment
- I'm graduating this Sunday. Approximately 24 hours from now.

Life is pretty grand right now and now it's a matter of cleaning up the grand mess that is my apartment.

Unfortunately, I broke my camera Halloween night. I have to take pictures the old school way through the view finder. Any pics may take longer than usual.

As a holiday present, I'll give this advice to any lucky people who happen to stumble upon it.

Approximately 3 times it has happened to me that when I order an item through Anthropologie oppose to the website, the item has gone on double sale before it has reached me. I get my item at a substantially lower price and life is nicer. Here's the pattern I've noticed when that happens. The item I want is usually on sale to begin with since it is not often that a retail item sells out mad fast. They usually don't have my size on the website and it becomes very likely that the item will just sell out. What's even better is it they don't have the item on the website and it's on sale at the store, then they have to order through another store. Thus, the way this works is wanting an item that's extremely hard to find that has to be ordered through another store. It has about a 66% chance of working based on my experience.

Now I'm off to organize my thoughts...
among other things.

Awkward Pajamas

Usually, my awkward pajama stage is when I'm at a point in my cycle where I desperately need to do laundry but for some reason or another - in this case, I'm lacking 6 quarters - I can't. It's gets to a point where I wear these awkward pajamas that my mom gets me for Christmas' and birthdays.

Luckily for me, I can only wear upwards of semi professional wear due to Student Teaching. The stuff is finally getting some use.

Ah ha

I look at this blog quite frequently wondering when I'll have time for a good full blown update. I've started student teaching, so almost every day is a rather busy new adventure. I wish I had the time to update this more often.

My summer eBay auctions never really came to fruition. I also decided to keep one dress and alter it. I find myself becoming less and less fond of the trend of high-waisted short skirts. I feel the evolution of modern trends has inadvertently made me somewhat of an old conservative fogey when it comes to fashion. Oh well, I'm sure it'll pass over. At least I hope so, I feel that despite my being vertically challenged, I'm much too old for such a trend. I'll be hitting the big 2-4 this October.

This is what has been going on as of late:

Student teaching
Buying a lot of T-shirts
I finally got a pair of Nike Dunks
I want to sew my dress

I'll try to have pictures of my shoes up. T-shirts normally are not my thing, but gradually, I'm becoming more and more fond of them. It just depends on why I get them. I'll try to have posts following each of the topics. Particularly the student teaching one since apparently it's becoming a mix of faux pas and successes.
