Supercalifashionista Is...

Building a tornado, stuffing witch legs, designing a "Galaxy Gown," composing a magazine cover and coveting some Christian Louboutins (below).

Don't we all wish we could live Sex and the City? *Verbal Sigh* Well after an extremely stressful two weeks, I intend to spend the day rehashing with Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda! 

Be back soon!

This One Won't Give You a Lisp

Oh those awkward days of the orthodontia: Repeatedly lisping while reading your essay to the class, yanking watermelon Bubble Yum from your wires, leaving a trail of bracket bands wherever you go. Yeah. Been there, done that - for two and a half years. Thankfully, the eclectic "Retainer Necklace" (above) by Kiel Mead doesn't cause overactive salivation and you don't have to attempt to conceal it with a "Mona Lisa smile" on picture day. I call it "An ode to your awkward stage." I also found the "Forget Me Nots," "Freck Specs," "Gum" and "Key Rings" (below, clockwise) quirkily adorable.

Falling Deeply In Love With Fall

Despite the ample yard waste (which I was shoved in, above), autumn is my favorite season of all. Don't get me wrong, the cozy cardigans, array of plaids and chunky-knit scarves are fabulous, though I have to say that I love fall for the sake, of well...fall! The crisp air, colorful leaves (which I happen to enjoy jumping in) and high school football games are what makes this season my absolute favorite.

My high school happens worship the sport of football, which includes dressing to the nines for each and every game. Our school colors are crimson, ivory and ebony, in other words, every student is coated in red, white and black on game day. Sometimes there are themes we dress out for, which have included "Hunting Season" and "Toga Night." I honestly have no idea who coordinates these events, though I have to say they do a great job of spreading the word, as last week not a soul in sight wasn't wearing camouflage or neon orange. This week our theme is "Red Out", we are to done our brightest reds to support our team.

My plan of action to support the team (which includes my homecoming date!): A Rugby tee (below, left) and knee-socks (below, right). I discovered Rugby awhile ago while on vacation in San Francisco and fell in love with the Ralph Lauren branch's "rustic prep" styles. I like to call it "Edgy with a popped collar!"

A slightly embarrassing fact: My friend and I signed up for our school's rugby team, thinking we could don our fabulous Rugby rugbys for the games. After some quite graphic descriptions of injuries acquired from the sport which apparently is football without pads, we realized that we'd have to save our darling shirts for golf team.

P.S. I know, I know, I've been a bad blogger, but I vow to correct this bad habit while maintaining a mildly decent Physics grade!

The hunt is over.

Supercalifashionista is Back!

Photo: Affrin

Yes! I'm back! No, I did not fall into a vat of toxic waste! I am indeed alive and well contrary to my blogging habits. Yeesh. I sincerely apologizing for not posting sooner. Sophomore year has been...crazy. Crazy-good and crazy-stressful. From my Physics teacher who makes me want to accelerate my fist into a wall to endless Spanish conjugation packets, it has been a stressful couple of weeks! But I have a feeling this year is going to be my best yet, allowing me to learn more than I have ever before. Okay, I'm becoming bit of a corn-dog now, but I love to learn.

The class I have to say I am most excited for is Mass Communications, the prerequisite for my high school's newspaper. We just finished watching a biographical film called Shattered Glass telling the tale of Stephen Glass, a twenty-three year-old reporter at The New Republic who wrote twenty-seven fabricated articles which included fake quotations, sources and events. Glass event went as far to have his brother set-up phone numbers and websites when another magazine questioned his sources. 

I have to say, that Hayden Christensen is quite the cutie.

Gossip Geek

Who isn't mind-boggling-ly excited for the premiere of Gossip Girl's season two on September first? *Nerdy snickers* Above is a picture of the filming of one of my favorite episodes, "All About My Brother" that my friend Caroline (who lives in New York) took. Anyway, I have twelve long school-filled days until this blessed event. I have a total girl-crush on Blair Waldorf (there was actually a great article this summer's Teen Vogue about girl-crushes - which aren't actual crushes, rather extreme admiration towards another girl). Who doesn't love a fierce attitude and a wardrobe to match?

Though I'm not a fan of tees, this "Team Blair" shirt from Fred Flare is soon to be shipped to my door!

A Fabulous First Day

Despite my previous (rather depressing) post's predictions, I had a fabulous first day of school! Last night my dad and I had our little "the night before the first day" chat over bowls of cereal and Frasier, in which he always quips "_____ grade is the best grade of all! You have the most fun, everything is so great during your _____ grade year!" Despite his slightly annoying attempts to be humorous, my dad made me think: I'm going to make my tenth grade year my best year yet.

Dress: American Apparel

Sweater: J. Crew

Shoes: lmpo

Bag: MARC by Marc Jacobs

Bracelets: Vintage

Adding to the beginning of my "best year ever" was the purchase of my new MARC by Marc Jacobs sling bag which my mom reasoned was a "school purse" (like I'd carry all of my books in a purse, that job is left to "Old Reliable": My not-as-fashionable North Face backpack). Another addition to the beginning of this fabulous school year? My haircut: Swingy blonde layers and side-swept bangs.
