The palette the plate the playing on polyvore

It’s been a whole week of vacation and I posted nothing-no apologies. Because I don’t care that much.(and neither do you, for that matter)


I’m usually a “color color kill me if you have no color” person, but recently experienced short erratic weeks of minimal, monochromatic-ness. Though I’ve always been a fan of long lengths and avante garde, I never truly felt I could possibly subside on neutrals only.

To satiate my thirst, I have created Two wishlists-one for when I feel minimal and one for when I feel maximal. Like my sister Christina, I have a special fondness for the colorful bright prints of Dries Van Noten , and so around 60% of my maximal (no I did make that up-I used my less than $200 graphing calculator to calculate :D) wishlist is comprised of it.

Pink Miu Miu dress, DVN cropped blue jacket, Marc Jacobs teal floral skirt, Stella McCartney awesome dead grass skirt (yes I'm making the names up), DVN print trousers, DVN print gathered waist skirt (no that is it's brownsfashion.com name!), Miu Miu sparrow print pumps, Tom Binns red necklace, Juicy Couture blue pansy ring (don't kill me! I don't love it enough to die for it!) Oil Silk cuff bracelet ahh enough it's just random pretty jewelry.http://www.polyvore.com/pigmented_spring/set?id=17997762 It's all there. . .

The minimal wishlist is pretty much all black and white. Last year this time, I had a problem with maxi dresses and the omniscent floral hemmed edges and bohemian style. But I really love the avante garde plain, simple, feel of dark plain dresses. It’s not really realistic that I’d layer up on those DVN prints in the hot hot summer anyway.

Penumbra black maxi dress, Alexander Wang white tank, Topshop beaded crop top, Deborah Marquit lace bra, Junya Wantanabe cotton harem pants, Camilla Skovgaard open toe killer sandals, Modcloth close toe pump ($35!!) Mcqueen, Kate Spade, and Svpply baubles.http://www.polyvore.com/minimalistic_spring/set?id=17997368

And the inspiration was Camille, awesome girl she is!

Irrelevance: My Earnest Sewn (what kind of grammar is that?!) wax jeans came. . .and okay they fit but it’s not exactly the greatest kind of fit. And seriously what is this whole wax thing? I’m sticking to chairs. . . I’ll keep them though, considering they were pretty much free. And with the leftovers on my plastic card of $$, I purchased bright yellow tights, which should arrive soon.

I have another plastic card coming in to me in a couple weeks. I figure that I’m going to school next year, and that while immersed in academics, it’s a good idea to be COMFORTABLE, so I figure that I might hit upon some PRACTICAL pantswear- what do you think, high rise Earnest Sewns that might be unflattering or comfy Delias corduroys that might earn the disapproval of my sister pretty hot people and some organ within me? And yes I care what others think-it's what creates me. (Quite a philosphical conclusion)

The Dalai Lama likes Doc Martens. SCORE!

Good luck on your physics test from last friday before vacation, because you were sitting in the MFA looking up at the ceiling with the art class, Catherine!

Asian is spelled Azn in math

I just spent six hours of today being a young creep with messy hair at the states math meet. I succeeded in the art of failing using the help of guessing by logic, and spent high amounts of time staring at the gorgeous visages of famous mathletes strolling around. These kids are beautiful mentally and physically, they look awesome, do math awesome, talk awesome, walk awesome, and just simply exude awesomeness. During the car ride to the site of the meet/ride back/both, I was brought to the realization that by stalking fashionable and math people, I don’t really have a life.
But what actually is the meaning of life?


“STALKING!!!. . .. ... .right?”
“Nope.”

^^^^^^^^^This is basically what they look like, except insert male features in faces (not that females aren’t awesome but I didn’t see them/fall in love with them.)

It’s actually lame how real nerds do not wear large black glasses with khakis and argyle sweaters, and people who dress like that can’t actually do these little creepy wordy puzzles known as math.

But it doesn’t matter, because I don’t want to argue with felines whose heels and stare could rip my throat apart.


Errr. . .convos, the words exchanged between more than one person.

(As Catherine sit struggling with the new idea of logarithms, or logs, the pieces of wood that float in a swamp.)

Mother: Hey Catherine, could you try some of these on? (holds up light peach colored silk dress)

Catherine: Sure I guess. . .

Christina walks over and

Christina: Hey! I want those.

30 minutes later, As she struggles with the inequalities of wood,

Mom: Also, can you try these? (Holds up two of her old tops white lace crop and green-blue luxe knit

Catherine: Um yeah

Catherine: Hey they look nice thanks! (Puts them in her closet)

20 minutes later

Mom: Hey can you let Christina try those two tops

Catherine opens closet and hands Christina lace crop

Christina while putting it on

Christina: Ahh, this can’t go over my head, Cathy, can you pull this over my head?


So yeah if I fail my log test these two have some responsibility.

This made my day, life actually, after almost a month of inability to find anything inspiring. It's usually pretty easy to bash opposites together and look dangerously awesome yet normal. It's easy to mix blue with orange, or purple with yellow, and not end up on lame people's list of lame people.

But unless it's near Christmas/you're a drunk Santa, red&green most always ends up on lame people's list of lame people-which theoretically is nothing to sweat about, but if you um go to school and um work your um butt um off um it's um freaking stupid um if you just look funny so your teacher gives you um a funny looking grade as well.

But this red&green concotion is geniusly normal, awesome, and it's red and green. And it's amazing. It's on my list of awesome, and if I'm lame then she wins.
The model says she's 100 years old on her model profile. I like humorous people too. I like glasses. I like glitter. I got a haircut today but it didn't look like that because if your hair feels different your test scores will feel different too. And when they feel different, they generally are different.

Find the pictures and some other pictures here.

Add milk to tea makes good emission

It does not matter what I say. I will always end up looking like this.

It's blue, with white, with tulle, with twist, with turn. It looks like pastel challah.

That's what I would look like if it would stop raining and if I liked my face.

If I were any of these girls. . .as in if I had any of these pieces. . .

She's nude all over and she's also colorful.

And of course. . .to the tinest detail of socks.

It's been pouring for three days in a row. It's disgusting. It's muddy. Everybody's basement flooded.

"I like rain because it means that spring is coming."

Well I want spring to come. (And summer and no school and camp and lazy long days. . .)

I want to try my new love: Pastels

How did I never notice the magic of pastels? As long as something is pastel it looks beautiful with anything else pastel. Pastel pink looks so beautiful with pastel green, and with a whole outfit of these opaque soft colors it’s really like a magical garden. . .or something.

When you add a touch of white to colors you transform them to be perfect and beautiful, able to go with anything else. Unlike neon, pastels are not eye popping, but like neon, they are eye candy.

I have a dream. . .that spring would come soon.

Shooos xD

My Steve Madden brogues came last week and they're amazing, even thought I feel like trippy and dangerous-the soles are perfectly smooth. Really really cute, and comfortable too.

I have real midterms coming up. They are my favorite things in the whole world.
Spring: The space polyvore provided was too small and my inspiration board is a SMALL chunk of what I really have :(.



I mean I can't actually get Armadillo shoes but they're effing sick! Boys hate them and that's important.




I jus' lurve. Mixing of prints and color is fantastic.

Should go back to studying now.
