Yesterday on the way home I stopped at the outlets and looked in Sunglass Hut.

I've always loved Ray-Bans.

I'm not sure what it is about them that makes them so fantastic.

Someday, when I actually have money I'm going to buy lots of them.

For now though, I'll just keep torturing myself by stopping in Sunglass Hut and trying all of them on.

I've decided that I NEED a pair of these.

I'm going to (attempt to) save up enough money to buy a pair.

Whip It

I'm a little bit unhealthily obsessed with the movie Whip It.

I can't understand how anyone would be able to not be though!

It's so fantastically quirky and all of the characters in it have their own odd charm.

Things that made me love Whip It:

1. Bliss

I wish I were Bliss Cavendar.

I'm not sure what it is about her that makes her so alluring.

Her clothes are gorgeously vintage; after I watched Whip It for the first time I was inspired to buy vintage combat boots and I still go looking for clothes like hers far too much.

2. Oliver

My longing to be Bliss is further enticed by the fact that she dates Oliver a.k.a. Landon Pigg.

Not only is he gorgeous, but he also has an amazing voice.

In Whip It he's a part of The Dirty Templetons which is a combination of Landon Pigg and Turbo Fruits.  I wish they would just combine in real life because they would be incredible.

3. Iron Maven

Although cast as the antagonist, for some reason I still love Maven.

I think it's because of her confidence.

Her hair is so gross and grimy that it actually looks good.

Her clothes are trashy and she wears too much eye make up,

but somehow she manages to pull it off.

Pretty well too.

4. Every single other person in the movie

Even the minor characters were awesome.

Sometimes you would only see someone for a couple of seconds but somehow you would still be able to tell what his/her personality was like.

They always seemed like someone I would love to be friends with.

5. Bodeen, Texas

Bodeen is such a beautiful town.

Everything seems dusty and nothing is pure white, only smooth creams.

It seems like nothing ever changes there.

Hypothetically, I would love to live there.

Realistically, I probably wouldn't.

But I do still want to sit on that giant pig on top of the Oink Joint.

Even though it isn't in Bodeen, the vintage shop in Austin that Bliss goes into to buy her boots is excellent too.

I really want to go there sometime if it's real.

6. The Clothing

I've already talked about it a bit, but it's so fantastic I feel like I need to reiterate.

I want every article of clothing that Bliss wears.

I wish I could pull off all of the clothes Maven wears.

I wish I did roller derby so I could wear the sleazy derby outfits.

(but I checked and the 21 or older rule is real so I wont be on the track for a while)

7. The Soundtrack!

The music is SO GOOD!

I went and found every single song, not just the ones they sell on the soundtrack CD.

I've downloaded most of them.

My favorites are the ones without vocals like The Road To Austin by The Section Quartet.

I wish I were Bliss Cavendar.

Boarding School Life

I go to a boarding school in Pennsylvania.  I live here even though it's only 15 minutes from my house.  This is boarding school life:
-Saturday morning classes
-Nantucket red
-Assigned seats in the dining hall
-Overly preppy girls with long, straight hair
-Overly preppy boys with a lacrosse obsession and hair "flow" during lacrosse season
-J.Crew
-Required chapel twice during the week and on some Sundays
-Shorts with at least 5 inch inseams for girls (from J.Crew of course)
-Lacrosse pinnies with khaki shorts (usually pastel colored) for boys
-Blazers and oxford shirts during school (with ties for boys)
-Constant worries about college
-No (allowed) cell phone use outside of dorms
-Night study hall
-Gossip that spreads like wildfire
-Required attendance to speeches
-Conservative
-Never enough sleep
-Never-ending days

This song makes me smile :D

Chanel Spring 2010 Haute Couture

Chanel's Spring 2010 Haute Couture is exactly the look I'm in love with at the moment.  Cream, blush, mauve, ivory, and taupe are basically the colors I've been wearing for the past couple of weeks.  Chanel's fabrics are gorgeous too, especially the lace!  I'd give anything for those tights, but they probably cost more than my whole wardrobe put together.  Someday I'll be able to afford designer clothing...

PENN RELAYS!

Penn Relays were today!  I went for the 4x400m.  I got nervous and didn't run my best time, but it was loads of fun anyway!  Our uniform is horrid.  I can't even figure out how to properly describe it.  If you've ever seen Juno, the shorts that the XC guys wear... yeah.  Those are our shorts but in blue.  The built in underwear actually hangs below the shorts too, it's an added bonus.  They also make you look like you have a donk, even if you don't have one at all.  Our top is white and completely see through.  It's not tight, but it's not baggy; it seems as if it's trying to be a fitted track top, but couldn't quite get there so decided to be some sort of too-short half t shirt... thing.  But other than our horrible uniform, I love our track team!

Those two girls in front were on teams from Jamaica.  The girls in the back were from the USA.  This isn't even a 4x4, this is a 4x1.  The Jamaicans always win Penn Relays haha

There are so many people there, it's incredibly intimidating.

This was me running... I'm all alone haha we didn't do poorly or come in last, though this makes it seem as if we did.  Everyone was just really spread out.

A view of the stadium.  There were over 600 high school girls teams there.
