NYC, I'm back!!<3

've realized that i've had this blog for a year now (started Aug 7th of last year)
The school, HWS(Hobart and William Smith Colleges) is gorgeous. Everyone was so nice., and I met many cool people, had some really great professors, some really bad food, which I hear gets better during the school year.
It was writing intensive and although I complained a lot, it enhanced my writing skills, and thought me that while I can write a B essay the night before it's due, it takes a whole week of continously working on an essay to get an A.

One thing that I did or didn't do was that I didn't really read fashion blogs. I'll admit, I cheated probably 4 or 5 times and read fashionista and maybe three or four others, but that's a big deal comparing to the 20+ I read everyday. Unfortunately, all the work+facebook+ no laptop=no updates. So, the weekend that I got back home was spent catching up with the fashion world.

so yea
and the picture that I promised, (not the best one) me rocking the head band.

High School Graduate

Let's just say, I still need to work on posting from my phone.
I graduated from HS two days ago, and I don't think it has sunk in yet.
I also leave tomorrow for a summer program at my college, and I'll be back home Aug 2nd. Since I don't have a laptop, I'm not sure if I'll even be able to update.
A while ago, I quoted Mitch hedberg, "sometimes I wake up and I think I should start wearing a beret, but I don't do it. One day I'm gonna, though. You bet your ass, I will have a beret on. That's ridiculous, but it's true. I always fight with wearing a beret", in a post that was and wasn't about knit berets.
Inspired by that quote, I wore a headband around my fore head to school for the last day of school. I always fought with the idea fearing that I'd look too much like a hippie. Well, a dean at my HS thought I looked more Olivia Newton John, while a friend of mine thought I look more street fighter. Ironically, a girl who happened to be wearing a beret saw me and with a weird look on her face asked, "what's this", to which of course I replied, "what?"
I think that was a perfect way to end HS. Freshman year, I was all about blending in, and as the year past, I became about expressing myself no matter what others thought. The past four years, I've learned in terms of style, Those Who Mind Don't Matter and Those Who Matter Don't Mind. (Dr.Seuss is awesome!)
so yea

Wear a Knit Beret

I love quotes (especially ones by Vince Lombardi), and I find myself googling "random quotes" way too often. I stumbled across this quote, "sometimes I wake up and I think I should start wearing a beret, but I don't do it. One day I'm gonna, though. You bet your ass, I will have a beret on. That's ridiculous, but it's true. I always fight with wearing a beret".-Mitch hedberg

This quote applies to my life from deciding whether today is the day I tell ---- that I like him to whether today is the day I raise my hand and participate in my math class to whether I should take a fashion risk and wear something completely out there to school. I always find myself fighting with these things, and when it comes to fashion it's always about head wear.
When scarves as belt became popular, I struggled with the idea of wearing one as a belt, and I finally did it, and it felt good, but then wearing them as head bands became popular and I struggled with that idea, and it took a while to finally wear one.
Now I'm struggling with the idea of wearing berets, and that quotes applies to me directly. I've been doing some research, and I found these as inspirations. The only problem is, I have short hair, so it's going to be hard to achieve these looks from instyle.com. I don't always like trends-especially trends like knit berets which I think is going to fade in months- but I think everyone should buy one. They can really spice up a simple outfit. Selma Blair's outfit is a great example. fashionunder100.com has great ideas on how to achieve her look. Check http://fashionunder100.blogspot.com/2008/01/selma-blairs-look-for-9934.html

so yea-take risks, get a knit beret.
