Temperley London, love it.

So I recently went on to Elle.com and ran into a designer called Temperely London I looked at some of the new looks and I fell head over heels. Although some of outfits were not my favorite I absolutely adore all of her evening gowns and dresses. Some of them especially stuck out to me including:

New School Year, New opportunities?

Hey everyone, Courtney here.
So as everyone already knows, a new school year had begun and I have no idea what is going to come of it. I often wonder what fights will unfold, who I will become friends with, who I will become enemies with, who I will like/date? I do have some goals set for this year but knowing me, I will most likely get sidetracked.
1) Study really hard, ace the ACT, and strive academically.
I know that's a pretty high bar to set but I am definitely willing to try and avoid my procrastinating problems as best as possible.
2) Get my license & perfect my stick shift driving skills.
3) Get a job.
4) Get in really good shape.
And that's basically my to-do list thus far!
What elseeee.. Oh yes! I am heading over to the mall tomorrow in hopes of finding a plethora of cute clothes. I have been so busy lately that I have not had time to shop so I am basically running on about four or five shirts. After I return I will post all about my wonderous findings.
I mean I do have a lot more that I could tell you all about but I don't think I want to blab on and on about my life so for right now I'll leave it at that!
If you have any ideas for what to buy at the mall or you just wanna say something about the blog make sure to comment!

Lace and height.

Hey guys and gals.
So lately I have been super obsessed with lace. I have an oversized light pink lace shirt that I got from Nordstrom Rack for dirt-cheap that I just love! ...Well I'm unable to show a picture sooo anywayyy.
So some could say that I am rather tall (I'm 5'11) and I don't always feel like being a giant among my friends so I really need a new pair of beautiful flats. The only problem is, I never am able to find any cute flats! If anyone out there finds an awesome pair of flats, please send a shoutout!!
Well I guess that's all for today!

goood evening

Hii guys.
So I went to the mall today and I popped into Forever 21 and I absolutely fell head-over-heels for these Mary Jane Pumps.

Aren't they gorgeous? Anyway I think that this post is going to mainly be about me. Lame? Well I am currently scrolling through my iTunes and I was wondering what everyone out there was listening to? Currently I love: Hollywood Undead, Flyleaf, Panic! at the Disco, Drake, Paramore, Eminem, Mumford & Sons, Lil Wayne (cliche), Three Days Grace.
So make sure to tell me your favorite artists! I would love to know.

i've been beyond busy.

Hey everyonee.
Once again, I have been so busy that I have been neglecting my blog.. tsk tsk.
Well this weekend was good. Wait? This weekend was honestly terrible. I mean I like getting pulled over by the cops and having the driver lie not only to all of us but to the policemen. But he got what he deserved: DWI. So, basically, I am never talking to him and his friendless ass again.
But anywhoo, I was looking through the April issue of Vogue and I loved the entire spread on Lady Gaga. The looks were all of course Gaga-inspired but one really stuck out to me. It was the Alexander McQueen (who else?) gold-embroidered tulle dress. I love any McQueen creation.
I don't know why I am so obsessed, but I am.

Close up: Katy Perry's "E.T."

Not only does this video use a good amount of special effects, but the makeup and fashion are insane. KP is seen as an alien and her multiple looks really set the bar high for futuristic fashion. I love the costumes, they remind me of Versace and their use of gladiator or alien-like clothing lines.

Highlighter hues. Chic or weak?

Lately, premieres and carpets have been filled with designs featuring many brightly colored fashionistas. Now, I love a good pop of color, but there is a limit. I feel that people need to know the difference between totally in and disturbingly out.

Here is a photo of four Hollywood beautys all taken over by the so-called "Color-Block Craze." I feel Emma Stone (far left) rocks this one shoulder Lanvin dress while Zoe Saldana (far right) is overpowered by this Prabal Gurung creation.

What do you think? Leave comments!

Creative writing classs.

So for our creative writing class we had to write several poems & I guess I can share one or two
Dreams
I wake up
The pictures rushing through my mind
Trying to put them together,
But they do not fit.
Throughout the day, memories of that night come flooding back to me
I try to explain them but I sound crazy.
I know that even if I were to explain them,
No one truly cares
Everyone pretends to listen, but in the end
They do not think twice about it
Unlike them, the dream affects ourself in a way
That could not be possible if we fully understood them
That's the mystery of dreaming
No one knows why we do it
No one knows how we do it
No one knows how to change them
They are beyond the imagination
They stretch our minds, only to have them forgotten moments later
Dreams are.

In the next poem we had to state lies about someone we cared about. Note: None of this is true.
Lies
My dad lives in an acorn
My dad speaks gibberish
My dad works at the circus
My dad tames the lions

My dad puts mayonnaise on everything
My dad wears pantyhose
My dad got kicked out of college
My dad is a crack addict

My dad went to jail
No one is exactly sure why
My dad does not own a suit
My dad watches the static on TV

My dad hates our family
My dad leaves the house at night
He sometimes does not show up for days
My dad is unstable

My dad often escapes from reality
My dad is usually in his own world
Seeing only what he wants to see
Ignoring all the problems in his life

My dad is digging his own grave
My dad does not know when to stop
My dad lives a reckless life
My dad lives in an acorn

I feel that I should add something about fashion in this blog soo.. here is a musthave that I would die for:

Alexander McQueen Knuckle Clutches <3
