Photoshoot

Please enjoy yourselves with our third spontaneous photo shoot, pictures by the magnificent Paula Rondon.

Bring on the Night

Well hey there, I'm back!
Sorry for being nonexistent, but I have been very busy trying not to fail my classes. Well last time I saw you I had longer hair, but I cut it all off. I feel so free. My life has been progressing in the right directions and all is well. My new classes are great, mainly because I'm not taking Spanish any more. I know some people think that is a mistake, but I for one do not. Instead I wanted to take Journalism, but the class was full, so I was lucky enough to get the last spot in T.V. Production. And it's first period too so I won't miss much if I do happen to fall asleep. Yes all seems well. Also I think I will no longer have to worry about failing, because I will be studying more often. So yesterday Renata, Gabriel, Paula our photographer (who took these lovely pictures), and I all did another large photoshoot for the Weardrobe Chuck Taylors [Converse] contest. This is my best outfit up-to-date. And you will just get a sneak peek because I have already put my pictures up on LookBook. The entire photoshoot will be posted later explaining what we are wearing, so I won't be saying anything about that here. Enjoy this little treat!

Asleep waiting for Santa

My sister thought it would be funny to take a picture of me passed out from the nights festivities with my head band still on. The bird is actually a Christmas ornament for the tree, given to me as a present from my uncle... odd present, but it matched my shoes quite nicely and brought my outfit a festive and, well, more like something I would do every day feel. Because my parents every year throw a Christmas party with my family, I have to be careful not to scare them with what I wear. I didn't want to just wear a T-shirt and jeans, and my parents and family understand that, but they don't all understand "fashion" yet. Some do, but not all of them. They think fashion is wearing sparkly tops with jeans and boots or high heels. So I wore my ruffle top from the Salvation army tucked into my Hanukkah jeans (I call them that because I got them on the first day of Hanukkah) that I got from Forever 21, burgundy flats, and my AEO teal cardigan. It all looked very nice. but later I changed into a lace tank and my soccer shorts to go to sleep, and I forgot that I was still wearing the head band, so I fell asleep with it on, waiting till morning to open my gifts, and my sister takes a picture because its really funny to her. This was my best Christmas so far :]

The Winter Band Concert ♫

This is a picture from my first high school band concert. I'm not the one in the front, I'm in the background. And if you wondering what I'm wearing its our uniform for concerts. Its not really a dress, its not even a shirt and a skirt. Its an embellished top, and these enormous wide legged pants made to look like skirts. I actually love the pants, but the top is atrocious. I'm also wearing my red glasses. The girl in the front actually found them for me and gave them to me because she thought I would like them. So I share them with her.P.S.
That girls is one of the funniest, kookiest, people I know. She's a good friend, and she always gives me constructive criticisms on my outfits. And she is learning very well. She's even starting to tuck in her T-shirts like I do! And Stephanie, if your reading this,thanks. Merry Christmas!!! Happy holidays everyone!

Nerdy Ballerina!!

Tuesday I was inspired by ballet, something I used to do for four to six years, I cant remember. But I ended up looking really nerdy with this pair of glasses I found on the chorus room floor. they're even my same prescription, which is amazing. they're a bit scratched up but I don't mind at all. they look great. And for the entire week I have been wearing my two pearl necklaces simply because I love the vintage feel they give the outfit. Also I have been wearing the hair pin Gabriel gave me for an early Christmas. Thanks Gabriel! So here is Tuesday's outfit, enjoy :

What I'm Wearing: white puffy tu tu like American Eagle Skirt, Black and white layered Tights, heather grey V-neck from Target, Black American eagle cardigan, AA glasses I found on the floor of the Chorus room, antique store necklaces, gold and pearl hair pin.

So that's the outfit. And one more thing. I officially have a MAJOR crush on this PERFECT guy [not gonna name him...] who likes all the same music, dresses appropriately, and is super hot. <3

Edna Mode

Well today i was inspired by Comme des garcons menswear s/s 09. I got the greatest stares, some tacky hispanic ladies were staring at Renata and I for at least an hour and thinking we don't know spanish, they conversed about our "poorly dressed selves" in spanish, i understood all of it and was having a very difficult time containing my laughter (being from Peru i know spanish fluently). While I was at the mall a police came up to me asking me if i was ok, i'm not sure what he meant by that. Some little kid came walking up to me and his mom pulled him back and told him to "leave that strange boy alone". I was quite happy when i got to barneys, some nice employee recognized that i was trying to convey cdg and and asked if my shoes were yohji yamamoto and said he has seen me on the internet somewhere, so if your reading this right now, I liked you jacket =).

Yay for shorts over pants!!!

What I'm wearing: American Apparel cardigan, shirt from Zara, brothers tie, shorts my little cousin left at my house 2 years ago, jeans from H&M, and the shoes lack a label.

Ava is wearing a pencil skirt from the Salvation Army, two patent leather belts over that [one black and one white], white tights, flats from Payless, a purple t-shirt with a velvet skull on it, two pearl necklaces found at an antique store, a black and white polka dotted ribbon as a bow tie, black and white polka dotted clutch purse, and a black fedora from Forever 21.

What Renata wore: Shirt from H&M, Suspenders from Hot Topic, Bow from Forever 21, skirt from H&M, tights from Forever 21, shoes from Payless.

 Ava's purse is really cool. We call it "the Mary Poppins purse" because as you can see it is extremely tiny, but it fit all her makeup, her glasses, her money, and her cards. It was so funny watching her having to pull everything out from it to find stuff. Renata and I had to look inside it to make sure it really wasn't magical. I still have my doubts.

POLKA!!!!

I don't have much to write. I wore this Monday. Sorry, but I've been so busy studying, and working hard trying not to get an F on my grades. My GPA is already low. So heres the outfit. Sorry I don't have pictures for Tuesday and today (Wednesday), you can blame Renata for that, especially because I wore a new skirt in a really nice outfit Tuesday. Today I just wore a T-shirt and jeans. Nothing at all special.
What I wore- salvation army vest and pencil skirt, Forever 21 tights and ruffle shirt, Payless high heels (not pictured) and a black patent leather belt.

I look a bit funny here. Don't laugh because my hair is not done. Well you know, I think I will say something. I contribute so much to this blog, and I'm really unhappy that no credit goes to me. It's always "Renata's blog" and I feel sad. Almost like people like her better. This blog is fun, but I think it's giving me confidence issues. Gabriel even says that whenever I write something else on one of his posts, that people stop commenting. It's like they're the stars and I'm not, and we
all work hard on this blog. It kinda hurts... Oh and Monday I had a panic attack. That was an out-of-body experience. Pretty freaky. Well yeah. Write me stuff...

Spontaneous Photoshoot #2

So today we did our usual and hung out around the park and the Commons (a nick name for the shopping center in our town everyone uses) and we felt a great need to take pictures, we did and here they are. We hope you enjoy them. We can write afterwards what we wore if you really want to know. Also in another tangent, Ava and Gabriel went shopping all morning at The Salvation Army. Ava got a black pencil skirt, a black and white polka dotted vest, a floral shirt Renata is converting into a skirt, a floral skirt with buttons down the front, and a ruffle top. Also Congratulations to Gabriel for winning 7th chair in the All County high school honor band. Job well done. Enjoy our pictures!

Mourning a loss. Literally.

So I have a lot of pictures for you today. The reason I'm wearing all black is because yesterday, I lost two challenges in band, sending me four chairs down! I went from 4th/3rd (we don't know because the piccolo player doubles on flute, and piccolo sits in front of the flutes) to 5th/6th.
I cried until all the sodium from my body was gone and I went limp. So today is my first and only day of mourning, because I'm moving on, and challenging for my chair back. So that is the reason why I wear black. In style, of course. So I have a plethora of pictures to show you today:


These shoes are my pride and glory. Hand me downs from my mom, they are vintage Italian designer (Flora's) shoes.

Another look at the shoes.

These are some amazing tights I found. Guess where? WALMART! I love these too.

What I wore- My Italian high heeled shoes, Walmart "Fashion Tights", AEO black babydoll milkmaid dress, AEO black tie-around cardigan, AEO knit hat.

I'm kinda smiling, I was trying not too but Renata was going crazy and it made me laugh.

So that's my outfit. Enjoy its splendor and mourning glory. And comment it.

Determination!

Today I just made the desicion I'm going to get out of my grounding, and I'm going hunting for a new guy (too early?). Well here is what I wore today. I'm going to try Renata's approach and not smile. Because thats how I model, but I don't do that for normal pictures so I have two, one smiling, one not. Here it is:


What I wore- AEO baby lace skirt, AEO moccasin flats with a bow, Mom's old vintage belt, heather grey shirt from Target, and a vintage beaded necklace I found at an antique store in Daytona.

Smile!

So comment my pictures. Do I look angry in the first one?

Eh-mah-gawd Saboomafu!

So you might be wondering what Saboomafu is. Well its the nick name Gabriel and I use for Renata's little sister. Well Renata's little sister got angry at her and didn't let her use her camera, so she couldn't take pictures. Which is horrible cause I wore a reeeeeaaaly nice outfit. So I wore these vertical pin stripped, flare legged, A&F, blue and white pants, A white 3/4 sleeved shirt from Target, my mommy's old belt, and this amazing necklace I found at a antique store in Daytona. And my mom got me a new hat today!! Its pretty cool, and you'll see it in a picture later. since I feel bad that you don't have a picture of my outfit, I'll just show you a couple of the things on my way to big on my wish list.
There is A LOT more, like a hundred more items, but these are just a few random ones I picked.
I know I wont get everything, but I LOVE Urban Outfitters so I like pick every item up from the store and try to buy it. But its just a wish list. So, just a couple of announcements.
1) comment me!
2) DO THE BIB&TUCKER LOGO CONTEST PEOPLE!!!!!!

Akward Moments

Well here is what I wore today because I thought it was cold. Renata took the picture on our way to third period, and I was caught by surprise when she took the picture, because I really don't see her in the hall ways. Well its not a bad picture, but my bangs are blown to the side because of the wind. I look kins funny don't I?


What I wore- A&F jeans, my awesome new belt from the bag of my mom's old clothes, My moccasin/ loafer like flats from AEO, T-shirt with water color flower design from AEO, scarf from AEO, blazer from Forever 21.

Don't forget our Bib & Tucker contest!!! No one has entered yet :( and we're all sad. Comment! Bye!

Victorian goes to the beach meets Raver?

So this is what I wore today. Yeah the first picture is my silly pose :) So here it is:


Silly me. I look like a Victorian that goes to south beach and meets a disco raver. Gabriel gave me the inspiration for this outfit, so kudos to him.

What I wore- A Forever 21 tier halter, and AEO grey and white striped shrunken hobo cardigan, navy blue AEO floral printed beach shorts, and my fading tights from target, and AEO china flats.

I have no idea what this is..... Renata? Well ok, its cool. I think it's something of Renata's. She is quite the artist. (actually this was made by Damian)



So thats what I wore. My first day back to school In like a bazillion years. I was tired so I didn't do my normal make up routine. Hope I still look okay. I went to my old middle school Falcon Cove and I got pulled aside by an administrator, and she told me "Honey, I love that you come here and all, and I know that what your wearing is dress code at Cypress but when you come here you need to be in dress code." I thought she was talking about my shirt so I told her "Um... ok. If you want I can close my sweater and no one can see my shirt." She looked at me funny then said "Oh, no honey, it's your shorts. They are too short for a middle school. Next time come in middle school dress code." I gave her a mean look then walked away. I always get criticized for what I'm wearing. It's too flamboyant, it's too short, it's too long,it's too tight, it's too baggy. I get compliments too, but only from people that understand me. The other kids give me weird looks like I have an arm growing out of my head. I wish people could be more open to being fashionable. Just upsets me some times. Yeah, I rant a lot. It's my Thaaaaang. Well, don't forget about the Bib & Tucker logo contest, see details in a post below. You gotta look for it. And we need your help. Comment meeeeee! Well see ya!

One more thing.

I was going through pictures of people attending fashions shows and found a few that dressed really nicely and creatively. Take a look:






All of them had their quirks. Just thought I should add these. They looked pretty cool. They all have stuff I would wear. So enjoy.
