I realize that purple suits can turn people off because of Mean Girls. Now everyone thinks that if a girl is wearing a suit-especially a purple one-she's gay. Even though Janis wasn't even a lesbian. But anyway girls need to get over their purple-suit phobias. Suits can be pretty kickass.

1. Finally got the September Issue of Vogue
2. Discovered that if you click on the images on my blog they get very, very large.
3. Checked out and was incredibly amused by Charlieissocoollike and MLIA.
4. Horribly burned a batch of cookies.
5. Found the most adorable shoes!
Seriously, can you believe these are from Payless? Because I can't.

Ugh this summer has gone by so fast. Less than two weeks left!! I can't fall asleep till about 2 on most nights. It's a combination of it simply being my sleeping habit, and the fact that all I can think about is how far behind I am on all my AP summer work and how screwed I am. It's great.

I don't really have anything to "blog" about but I can't sleep and I can't bring myself to do the work I'm stressing about so I'll just complain about it on here. Possibly until I get really exhausted and have to crash. But I mean it's a blog, right? So I'm supposed to complain and ramble unnecessarily occasionally.

I started yoga again and it's nice to actually feel physically accomplished (does that make sense?) and sore for the first time this summer. Also, it's a nice procrastination technique. If I go twice a day, it takes up about four-five hours total.
Yayyy drawings. Yay.

And how about a nice Jason Mraz video for good measure.

I went on Style.com and the first picture I look at, the girl is wearing jellies. And not the new versions that they have out now. The good old fashioned kind. I used to get a new pair every year, I think usually in pink or purple. Man I was mad about jellies!! Until one year, either I couldn't find my size, or couldn't find them period. I still remember being incredibly heartbroken...

Anyway I was just really excited to find someone wearing these!


Also, jellies always make me think of Dane Cook.

So I've never really been a big Lara Stone fan, even though apparently Carine Roitfeld, the editor of Vogue Paris, is a major fan and throws her in every issue possible. All I've seen is pictures like this. And, personally, I was never very impressed.



Until, that is, I saw the cover of the Vogue Paris (of course) September issue.
Très magnifique!

She went from blonde to brunette. Epic change.

Jason Mraz was completely amazing. I love that man. It's pretty much as simple as that. The 16 year age difference, yeah no big deal we can work past that. But while texting Zone to 747-00, I started wondering, what would I actually say to him if I won these backstage passes?? "Hi Jason! I love you! Call me in 4 years :D". Yeah... Anyway Ellen and I had to leave during his encore, which was a major bummer, but what was more of a bummer is that he never played Geek In the Pink or If It Kills me. It was still a fantabulous first concert for me. Now I just have to figure out what other concerts I'm going to go to. Mostly I just know/like one or two songs from various artists, and the only exceptions to the rule are Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, and a few obscure bands I found in Teen Vogue or British bands who only tour in Europe.

I have no idea how to take good pictures with my camera, so I only took a few crappy photos and just focused on Mr. A-Z rather than struggling with my camera the whole time.
Oh yeah, and the speakers were perfectly aligned to that they blocked out his entire face on the big screen for 98% of the time.

What I wore.

I've gotta say, I liked Miley's performance at the Teen Choice Awards. It's growing on me. Yes, it's rather slutty. Daisy Dukes, a sheer black bra, the dancing, and, um, a pole? That's taking it just a bit too far. Ok, way too far. Because that's really the center of the buzz. But she looked good, I actually like her song, and she's definitely getting the PR she obviously wanted from it. I mean, she's a pop star, what are you people expecting, khakis and a nice Brooks Brother's button down? Pearl earrings? Uh...no. My main problem is that she is still completely associated with Disney and Hannah Montana, and before slutting-up her image Walmart needs to stop selling light-up tennis shoes and school supplies with images of her beaming in a blonde wig and tacky outfits plastered on them. Oh oh and what's up with her suddenly looking a whole lot like Megan Fox? Or is that just me?


As for the rest of the show, I really enjoyed it. Sean Kingston was too excited to put any effort into lip synching, a handful of girls had their greatest dream come true when Nick Jonas gave them all .5 second hugs, and the Twilight cast was once again the cool kids. Also, Joe's hair looked really good. I'm not sure how long it's been styled like that since I'm not a massive fan and don't stalk them through the tabloids, but it's much better than however it used to be. Oh and of course Selena Gomez looked fab. She's probably the best dressed Disney star I've ever seen. At least that I can think of at the moment.

Sometimes my drawings turn out nicely.

I want a pair of foldover boots.

Angela's coming home from Lebanon and then the Jason Mraz concert! Once I get past Hump Day this week should be solid.

I found this pair of shoes on this blog awhile ago, but I just looked up the designer. Nicholas Kirkwood's shoes, to me, are pieces of art. Usually I think it's a little weird when people consider their shoes art, and don't wear them because they need to preserve them. For example, if I had a pair of these babies there'd be no way I'd just keep them on a pedestal in my room for no one to see but myself. But I do agree with those loonies that shoes can be their own little masterpieces. In no way in the ranks of Monet and Degas, but more like functioning art. Like all those overpriced chairs in Dwell.

Coco Rocha seems like the most likable model. I wouldn't say she's necessarily my favortie model, I don't really know who that would be, but if I had to pick one to be my friend I'd pick her, hands down. She's so adorable and you can tell she doesn't take herself too seriously. This picture is from her blog, though I think she might have switched to Twitter, not too sure...


Anyway I love it. And this video of her and her dad.

Just watched Titanic yesterday with Ellen; it was her first time! Young Leo is definitely 872,047,519 times better than Old Leo, and while this is a well known fact, I'm just, you know, reminding everyone.


vs.


Seriously, how is there any doubt about which is more appealing?
