Being back and how sweet it is

MISS ME?

Top and pants: from Isabel, Beret: H&M, Scarf: gift from Dad, FOMS (fake TOMS): Heartbreaker

So I had Maddie take my outfit photos today, therefore I also took a picture of her so you can all see for the kajillionth time what my best friend looks like. When I asked her if I could take her picture for the blog she replied with "Oh so all those fashion-ey people can see my ratchet-sweatpants-Jesus look?" Yes, my dear, those fabulous outfit descriptions are precisely why I want to feature you :) For the record though she really does have great style, there are plenty of awesome pieces I've worn in these posts that have been borrowed from her closet, she just succumbs to the general high school laziness that every functioning teenager is afflicted with on a daily basis. Either way, she still looks cute!

Now that the musical is over (it went awesomely, by the way!) I finally have all this free time on my hands. I'm going to spend time studying for my AP exam (it's on the 17th!), practicing for my driver's test, spending time with my friends, and rekindling my creative brain. AHHH SUMMER HOW I LONG FOR THEE! It'll be here soon.

In other news, in a week or so I'll either be cutting my hair like this:

Or like Kate Micucci of Garfunkel&Oates/Raising Hope/Scrubs fame:

I tried the whole long hair thing this year, partially because it's easier as an actress to get roles with longer hair but mostly just because I haven't been bothered to cut it, and I've learned that it simply is not for me. I'll always be a short hair girl, and it's time to return to those ways. When I'm off to college and won't be acting as much I'll go full-out pixie cut, but right now I need at least a little bit of curlable length. Expect plenty of photos!

ALSO, more excitement, I've recently been informed that my school's band will be taking our next trip this coming October and guess where it'll be? Boston and NEW YORK!! Unfortunately, being that it's this fall rather than next summer which we expected, that doesn't give us much time to raise funds. I'm going to try to go out job-hunting on Saturday to start making money, and I'll hopefully be working at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival starting in August! Ahh, the rest of this year is looking great! I guess there is a huge plus-side to the trip timing, I get to visit the Empire State before the world ends! ;D

Peace kids, it's great to be back

Stupid Photos taken on my iPod touch

Well I haven't blogged in over a month, partially due to business with finals and partially due to theatre, but mostly due to sheer laziness. I apologize for that. Well here I am again, and completely lacking in the "stuff to talk about" section. So to get back into blogging I'm going to begin a new column, by the name of "Stupid photos taken on my iPod touch" (because I received a touch for Christmas and have taken many stupid photos with it). This column will feature any stupid photos I have taken with my iPod, and will be used when I have absolutely nothing else to discuss. So here it is, the first ever feature:

And I got a tumblr y'aaalll!!! Come check me out: http://kasumisplanet.tumblr.com/ 

Don't forget to follow too!

Adios muchachos.

The Weather Outside is Frightful

There's something about winter that always manages to break my creative shield and flip on the "fashion laziness" switch at the center of my brain. Until I have a collection of gem sweaters that measures up next to Leslie Hall's, I just don't know if I'll be able to post outfits on a regular basis (I suppose this year AP World History had a big hand in flipping that switch too). Maybe Christmas will stock me up again and keep me inspired! Until then, though, I'll keep you entertained with fun things about my actual life outside of fashion (except my life is BORING. BLAAAAH). Well if you haven't gathered it from the title, it's getting cold up here. Last winter didn't end til, oh, May? Yep. Welcome to the Land of 10,000 Lakes, my friends, where the lakes are frozen over more often than not. I got up reeeeaaaally early this morning too, because I'm a nerd and wanted to see the partial lunar eclipse (once again, just partial because I live in the great American ice cap). Anywho, now I'm awake, and, in my humble opinion, long overdue for a blog post. My friends and I made the courageous (and perhaps controversial) decision to actually make an effort to ENJOY the snow this year, opposed to sitting inside complaining about it as with year's past. Here's a photoshoot from our first night in Winter Wonderland! Luckily, Maddie has this awesome waterproof digital camera. Raymond and Aleah walked all the way to my house while the snow was still coming down, and since they're both not an inch over 5 feet, I made the decision that they looked like Christmas elves when they walked up to my door :D

Also, if you're familiar with B-movie horror (I consider myself an expert on the subject at this point), I'm sure you'd be familiar with the movie Frozen. Seeing as it was pretty frozen up in this joint as well, we decided to remake the movie! Unfortunately we didn't have access to a chairlift, but we made do



On another note, I'm entering the Fashion Turd's birthday giveaway, so here's my link to the post: Birthday Giveaway Post

Also, I got PLANT #2 in the mail yesterday and I absolutely devoured it! Thanks Isabel!

Out.

They should really send me to Oddball Academy

AC/DC t-shirt: gift from my dad, Pants: Delia's, Bandana: vintage, Knockoff Keds: Target

One of the reasons I wore this outfit was because I thought it would provide a funny contrast, I was supposed to read a poem I wrote aloud to my English class this morning and this particular poem is all sweet and fluffy. Perfect juxtaposition to my inner punk. But, as it happened, I left my backpack in my advisory class the hour before English. DON'T EVEN ASK ME HOW. But I did. My advisor also happens to be one of the school social workers, meaning that when she's not teaching our class she's out patrolling the hallways. So of course the door to her classroom was locked and I ended up having to track my backpack down instead of reading my poem. I'm reading it tomorrow but still.....UGH. Not a good way to begin the school day.



Anywho, back to the outfit. My dad brought me the shirt from an AC/DC concert he went to a few years back. I'm not as big a fan as he is, but their songs totally get me pumped and rocking. Classic rock never dies, in my book. These are probably the coolest and most comfortable pants I own, when I saw them in the Delia's catalog I ordered them right away. In a way, they're relics from my "scene kid" days, but along with a lot of those clothes I still find them awesome today (though thankfully I've become way more original in my choice of attire).

So for French, we're currently at work on an awesome project that involves creating a fashion tv show of some sort. My teacher has a dress-up box in her classroom (I know right?!), and today she brought in a bag of whacky clothes to add to it, so of course instead of writing out the script like we were supposed to, my group had a photoshoot in the costumes......

Featuring Molly and Dan, in all their glory

Also I really really really REALLY wanted to steal that floral blazer and fruit sweater

But I love my French class. So I didn't.



Tomorrow is 11/11/11, and I still have no idea what to wish for.

The Blahful Days of Winter Have Begun

IT'S CALLED BEING TOO LAZY AND TOO COLD TO SET UP A TRIPOD

 Dress: thrifted, Corset: DOTS, Scarf: thrifted, Beret: H&M, Black top: H&M, Black skirt: thrifted, Shoes: Chuck Taylor

As I was leaving French class 5th period today, my teacher cried "J'aime tes chaussures rouges!!"

It means, "I like your red shoes!!"

I've had her since the beginning of freshman year. I've worn red Chucks all that time.

But it was still pretty cool :)

To compliment my habit of rapid topic changing, Maddie, Mary, and I took Hiro, the Japanese exchange student, thrifting at Goodwill today after school. (We made a pit stop at Dairy Queen beforehand so that he could get the full experience of American consumer culture, and also to play along with his observation of "A lot of people in this country are fat....")

 We got a very decent amount of browsing in, and I'm happy to say that I have a new friend. Also, perhaps just as exciting (KIDDING!), I got a couple new tops:

If only it was summer and I could wear that hippie tank dress everyday......well, there's always pretending. Despite the fact that we're supposed to get snow sometime this week.....*tears*

Oh yes, one more thing, as promised here is my Rosie the Reaper costume:

(and featuring Maddie as a zombie colorguardian)

Which was my REAL costume!! That Amy Winehouse gettup was just a last minute pre-Halloween cast party outfit.

Anywho, apparently my neighbor took her son trick-or-treating at my house (I was already at my friend's, mind you) and according to my mother SHE WAS DRESSED AS ROSIE THE RIVETER TOO! Gah I wish I could have witnessed this amazing coincidence. Then perhaps I would have a picture of the twin Rosies as proof for y'all.

But I guess you'll have to take my word for it, as always.

PEACE.
