Fashion is a social agreement, the result of consensus of a large group of people

-Stella Blum







Today was a good day. I was wearing a cute outfit to school and I only got -6 on my history test! It was a relatively easy day. Days like todays are usually extremely hard and go by painfully slow. But today, I had fun. Tomorrow is my last day of school before winter break starts! Then, I will be going on vacation! If I do take pictures it will be at a different house.

For some reason, my hair looks really red. There is still some snow on the ground, so it may be all the light reflecting everywhere. Or, it could be my summer hair growing out and you can see the difference. I actually think it looks really cool. I think I look prettiest in the winter because my hair is curly and it gets wild in the summer. It is much easier to tame in the winter. Is that just me?

We are Shaped and Fashioned by What We Love

-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe









Today it snowed! We got out of school early. But, I didn't get home much earlier than I usually do because my bus came late and the driver drove really slowly home. But, I was glad I had worn my UGGs to school that day. This outfit reminds me of skiing. I think it is the socks with the leggings. It may also be the plaid shirt or the UGGs. Whichever one it is, it was the perfect day for that outfit. When I look at that outfit, I think it should be snowing around it. After I got home, I went outside to take pictures. But unfortunately, it had stopped snowing, so that special effect would not be inlcuded. I am up much later that I usually am, so I am counting on no school tomorrow! Everybody cross your fingers!!

Fashion is an imposition, a reign on freedom

-Golda Meir







This is what I wore to school recently. I  really love the boots because they go with a lot of different stuff. I went to the mall and found this with my friend. When I showed it to her, she said "That's so you! When I see that, I think Katherine!" Moments like that is why I love her. She is the best to shop with. I can shop all day and I need someone who could do that to. She is definitely that person!

Mode D'hiver

I love the holidays! It's my favorite time of the year! I love the food, the friends, the family, and especially the clothes! I love that during winter, fashion is taken seriously. I love layering shirts and sweaters and jackets. But, the best part of winter clothing is holiday clothing. Holiday Parties are always the funnest to get ready for because you are almost always expected to look like a movie star! You are expected to make your makeup bold, wear metallic and sparkles, and go all out! J'aime aller a une fete et porte une tenue belle. Comment est-ce qu'on fait ta tenue belle? En rendant votre prope.

P.S. I will be posting my holiday party outfits in the next few days.

DIY Pearl Necklace


One day this past week I was really bored. I had meant to make this necklace last holidays so I could wear it to the holiday parties. But, I never actually got around to doing it. So, I finally got my act together and made it. It was not very hard. C'est facile de faire le collier? Oui! C'est tre simple. (P.S. As a french student I try to say random things in french to see if I could say it. With an ultimate goal of making it to France.) When I first saw people wearing these necklaces, I thought that I could make that. And now I finally have!
