Karlie for Vogue UK. She is so stunning... it gets me everytime! This weekend has been AMAZING. Friday I didn't have any classes- just mass/ring ceremony then I got to leave for the day. I went out to lunch with friends downtown, got cupcakes and hung out with my best friend later.... it was just really nice and relaxing. And yesterday I had my dance and got some new wedges.

I am mad though, the weather has been so amazingly nice recently, its like a teaser for summer already! Not fair! Less than 7 weeks though...

My principal had a canoe paddle

Quick post before I hop off to bed. Things I am loving/coveting/whatever i want to post right now. Basically anything from my inspiration folder....

Denise of SUPERWOWOMG. She's from Hong Kong but lived in NYC and has the best DIYS.

Debra Baxter jewelery.

Ashish fall 2010 (via pics by polka dot)

Beetle belt designed by Jane's aunt. . Her animal belts get me every single time :)

Gabriella Maria Gonzalez's shoes (via shoelust).

Dominika of Fashion My Darling . She's the cutest and best dressed 15 year old ever. Her H&M pants and sketches are amazing.

blue/green/purple nail colors (now sure where its from....I think this is off of Lucretia or Raych's blog).

Long vintage dresses belted. Feels so perfect right about now.....transitional dressing at its best.

(Karla's Closet)


Ash Stymest. I've been in love ever since I saw him on some models.com video a year or so ago.

Denim jackets paired with lux fabrics(& giant pendants). perfection.

(Karla again)

Joseph of the 5awsomegays. Actually, ALL of them complete me. They make my day a thousand times more humorous and plain happy.

(219): Just found out I slapped a vegan in the face with meat last night

hello! I hope you all have had a great couple weeks. I decided to take spring break off from the blog to just relax and it was just what I needed. The weather was pretty nice, too cold to swim though. I managed to get a little tan, with minimal burning...so i'd say it was successful! And can I just say how amazing the outlets in florida are? I only walked away with a few things from gap, but I was dying in BCBG, Saks and the other billion stores that were there.

I was off monday, I have a late start tomorrow, and no classes on friday for jr ring! I'll make sure to post tomorrow .

xoxo julianne

p.s. My new favorite blogger is dominika of Fashion My Darling. She has the best pieces(and amazing style) and shes only 15!

Hello! I hope you're all having a pleasant day- I am just ready for this week to be over. I have a chem test + business presentation tomorrow, pride and prejudice in-class essay thursday & part of my social justice final, a history test and a math quiz friday. Sounds fun, right?

Well the week following spring break is my jr. ring- for those of you that aren't familiar with it(do they do it in other countries?idk) its when the juniors(11th graders) get their class/school rings since we're almost seniors. Traditions vary from high school to high school, but we have a mass on a friday morning (all of the jr. parents and school come to watch) where we get our rings. We go out for lunch with friends and familt and get the rest of the day off. Then that weekend there is a dance where you bring a date & just have a ton of fun with your class.

I already have my day dress, which I got it from an amazing etsy seller(I'll show you later), but I still need one for the night. I'm planning on getting something from nastygal(or similar...anyone know any sites like it?) but I need help deciding.

This dress is the Twisted Shoulder Dress from Cheap Monday. The back is sort of capish- its simple but really cute.

This is a Hellz Miss Freedom Dress. I really like the huge sleeve and the neon zipper detail.

This one is by Sheet Stroke- its probably my favorite one. I am in love with the sheer paneling in the back and on the bottom in the front! Unfortunately, they only have a size small(which the model is wearing that size) so it looks like I probably can't get this one : (

I'm not really sure on shoes or anything yet, but which one do you like better? Be honest... let me know if you don't like either too!

long days short nights

I hope you all had a lovely weekend! Mine was pretty chill(I tried to tell myself I'd stay home and do homework....try and guess how that worked out lol) but I love relaxing weekends like that. I went back for those jeans and dress from my last post, but they were already gone(and it was only 10 am!). But I did walk away with some great belts, each for only 99 cents! I also went to OldNavy because I had a giftcard and I walked away with a navy/white striped dress that was only $12.50. Their stuff is always hit or miss with the fit for me but I really love it! My sister says I look french or like sailor lol. I also got some much needed sb stuff( 2 swimsuits + sandals + cover up) from target and some AMAZING jean shorts from H&M after a tip from the lovely Michalina of Money don't give luck- only shopping. They are boyfriend fit, which is great because I hate tight/short shorts, so they are perfect! Thanks girl! I also got some of the amazing black dot tights and some striped ones I'm rather excited about.

Anyways, this week is going to be SUPER CRAZY because all of my teachers are trying to cram in tests and projects before break. I have so much to do(I really shouldn't be on here- oh well!), so don't expect much posting- maybe some scheduled ones here or there but nothing amazing.

Karlie. Vogue US April(not sure?) 2010.... Not much color, but I really love some of these pieces. Long flowy skirts, minis, print tees, leather jackets is what i want right now.

Good night! Have a great week!

the pink elephant in the room

I am in love with this elephant! I went on a field trip for international business yesterday, to this place that trades stuff from all over the world. Apparently some woman bought it for $1200 to bug her neighbor. She already has a giraffe. Gotta love st. louis....

Our teacher gave us and hour to get lunch and be back at school. And of course I went to sweetart(seriously, the field trip happened to be less than 1 mile away...weird coincidence). I had the best vegan red velvet cupcake ever. sooo good. This girl there was so well dressed. Striped top + vintage jeans + black flats + amazing pixie cut= so chic.



I went to salvation army for some cut offs. I found some really cute shorts, but they were all a bit too eighties for what I was looking for. I'm definitely going to go back for that dress and the ralph lauren jeans. That dress fit so perfectly and the jeans have zippers(and they're tapered!).


wednesdays outfit: dress-macys, red flats- payless, ring- flea market, earrings- goodwill

Spring Break is not coming nearly fast enough. I've got so many tests and projects next weeks its crazy. Currently procrastinating by watching the Mighty Ducks! I fall in love with this movie more and more every time I watch it... 90s movies at its best.

xoxo julianne

oh and p.s. I was at marshall's today and they randomly had a pair of creepers. in my size. in st. louis. is that weird or what? They're only $10 so I might go back for them. I'm just afraid they won't get enough wear and they'll just sit in my closet. They're not the most wearable things ever. We'll see.

Quick Question: Where is your favorite pair of jean shorts from? I'm on the hunt for some asap for spring break. Thanks!

"It'll be like a giant sleepover!!"

I have a field trip today which I am really looking forward too. It means I get to stay out for lunch. The place we're going happens to be like 5 minutes from sweetart, so I'm forcing my carpool to go there. Its only fair, I mean the driver should get to pick....

Tonight I'm participating in this homeless night at school! Our social justice club is sponsoring(I'm in it). We're suppose to sleep in boxes/ on tarps and can only bring what we can fit in a small trashbag. Canned chilli for dinner and oatmeal for breakfast. I camp all the time during the summer so this won't be that bad(it sure will be cold though!), but I can see this being traumatizing/a major wake up call for some of the girls in my class.

No electronics either! So no outfit post for today, just some pictures from my inspiration folder.

I am so obsessed with turbans right now.

Please take a look at this woman's shoes. I'll be DIYing this soon hopefully.

Those docs are my favorite part. Must expand shoe collection to highlighter colors asap.

I swear, any type of headwrap/hat is really inspiring me right now. It just seems so effortless, classic and beautiful.

Paints are one of my favorite breeds. Brings back memories of horseback riding on the beach....

Ridiculously epic braid. I used to know how to fishtail, but when I cut my hair last april I kind of forgot. Must practice this soon.

I swear, any type of short hair/ mohawk/fohawk is killing me right now. I wish I had the courage to just chop it all off!

Have a wonderful day! Its almost the weekend!
