no outfits here. this is pure nerd.

Yesterday I woke up at 5am to go to a Science Olympiad Invitational. Whoohoo go nerds!

But WE WON FIRST PLACE :] I don't have a picture of our trophy, but it was a craptastic plastic thing anyway. It was superfantabulous because we beat our rivals (finally!) 68 to 93 (the lower the score, the better).

I also won two second place ribbons in two of my events.


Go us!

oh, is that snow?

We had a snowww dayyyyy yesterday and I did absolutely NOTHING and it was the best.

My nothing consisted of:
-Watching endless Style Network, Food Network, Bravo, Daytime TV, etc.
-Playing Guitar Hero World Tour.
-Interneting for hoursss.
-Making the skirt I wore today!


[Notice how outside it is BLACK. These were taken at 7am! SUMMER NEEDS TO COME BACKKK.]

[We have an extraordinary amount of greenery because we're plant-sitting for a friend who clearly loves to grow things. The problem is, they're not coming back until April and my mother tends to kill everything. I hope they're prepared for their plants to be severely damaged! I clearly have no faith in my mother.]

I am not wearing proper attire for this weather (whoopsy) :

Hah. I didn't know it was so bad out! It was worse this morning: snow falling so fast you could hardly see. Maybe boots are a better idea for winter...

Skirt, made by me (remember these?). Tank, Old Navy. Scarf, Chinatown. Blazer, thrifted. Shoes, Charlotte Russe (bought for $3 - yes THREE - on Black Friday!!)

oh yeah, isn't this blog supposed to be about what i wear?, OR back to school boring

Monday, January 5th: back to school we schlep :(

Dress, Forever 21.
Tights, Target.
Boots, Hot Kiss via Famous Footwear.
Scarf, Chinatown.
Tank, Hanes or Fruit of the Loom...same diff.

christmas/newyears: what i gifted

The best part of the holidays is giving! (If only I had enough time to make gifts for everyone!) But this is what I did get done!)

[all DIY. Click to enlarge.]

1. For Dad. He's an intense biker - he bikes to work every single day, even in snow! And he works a good 10-15 miles away.

(diy how-to for this coming soon? maybe?)

2. My sister. She's 13. And to my happiness, she's starting to sort of care about what she wears! (Thanks to my generous help C: )


3. Mom. She is impossible to please, so I was happy to see her immediately take one of these pairs and wear them on Christmas!


4. My friend Ashley. A fleece scarf! Super plush and super warm.

Her reaction:
"April made me blankey?!"
"It's a scarf actually."
"Scarf-blankey! I can sleep wherever when I'm wearing this."
:)

5. My friend Ariel. An actual blankey! It's super warm, thick and big, and I'm kind of jealous. I might have to make one for myself :]


6. My friend Kevin. This one is pretty self-explanatory...high school boys...ahem.


7. My friend Dan. This is from the movie Eurotrip, which is so dumb and idiotic, but HILARIOUS. If you're ever reeeeeally bored, and have already seen every decent movie in existence, go ahead and watch Eurotrip. Anyway, it's like, his favorite movie. Again, high school boys...sigh.


8. My friend Bryan. This is the tennis kid, remember him? Anyway, he likes ping pong too. And he's Asian, and he only wears polyester shirts. And, because he has a very strict mom, it had to be appropiate, ie unlike the above two teeshirts. Cute panda playing ping pong? Perfect!


9. My friend Ida. I went to stay with her for a few days over New Year's (when I went out of town). She's my bff from nerd camp (whoo nerds!) and OLIVE HER.
(my tag!)

And that's all folks! Hope you gave (and received!) awesome stuff as well.

i blatantly copy other bloggers' ideas

Lemon has this post here about practical, yet attractive, winter footgear.

Every since my post here, I've been wanting snow boots (legit snow boots, NOT uggs or the like, and not your regular ole super stylin' boot either).

Like these, which give me blisters because they are about 2 sizes too small (they're my sister's!):
So anyway, if I'm going to be living in the Northeast for prolonged periods of time (ie, my entire life, holla), I'd like any of these please:
"Salomon" Women's Uma Snow Boot - you can barely tell these are snow boots!
Kamik Celebrate Pac Boots - love the color
Merrell Girl's Spirit Tibet High Boot - These are just stylin'!, except they're for little girls :[
The North Face Girl's McMurdo Boot - also for girls only :[
(Those are potentially:
)

Hahhhh, I can wear the wardrobe of 50% of the girls in my school ON MY FEET, HAH.

I hope y'all had an awesome holiday break! I have major catching up to do!
