Just a couple of photos. That is all.

Hello there darlings! I'm terribly sorry for my unexcused absence over the past week. Unfortunately, I do not have time for blogging at this hour, so I've settled with posting some pictures I've taken over the past week. Enjoy, loves!

  Even though I don't wear them all day, I do need glasses for seeing far away. I usually only wear them in class & at the movies. As you can see, they're BCBG. One of my favorite designers. A store recently opened at my local mall, so I'm ecstatic! :D

   CHALK! I have a chalkboard closet, so I need these for doodling purposes. :)

   This is the outfit I wore last sunday. I quite like it. :)
TOP;; Forever21
SKIRT;; Hollister
SHOES;; Tommy Hilfiger Silver Gladiators
NECKLACES;; American Eagle Outfitters(long cross), Forever21(gold feather), Busch Gardens(beaded hemp)
BRACELETS;; hand-made

Sadly, I'll be on vacation during the up & coming week, so I won't be blogging again til Saturday. :(  Hopefully I'll return with gorgeous beach pictures though. ;)

TA TA LOVES! I'LL MISS YOU!

Today is yesterday, tomorrow is today.

   I haven't had time to catch up with myself, so once again, I'll be blogging about yesterday. Maybe I'll leave it this way...it's easier to write about something that already happened. That way I can sort through all the crazy-ness before typing it up. x)

   Sunday. I know, being a Christian & all, I should love sundays...but honestly...they're my least favorite day of the week. Terrible, I know, but it's just there's always this sinister thought bubbling in my head, reminding me that the weekend is coming to an end. It's even worse during the school year. Being the procrastinator I am, I always put off my homework until last minute. So that means sundays also mean 'homework time' which is obviously eew. Put getting up & going to bed early on top of that, & it's the perfect recipe for a blah day.
   Yesterday, was no exception.
   My family decided that we wanted to golf the nine holes we didn't get to on Saturday, so we went to the early church service. That means getting up at 8AM (well, 8:20 is probably more accurate...) Now don't get me wrong, I love God & all, but I am most definitely NOT a morning person. Plus it just makes the day so much longer, y'know? However, mother nature spoiled our golfing plans & decided to let it rain all day. Basically, we got up 2 hours early, for nothing. :P.
   The rest of the day, I basically didn't do anything. I worked on cutting out pictures/text from my magazines to make fashion collages (I might post some of them on here if you guys are interested.) . Along with computer, television, & laundry, that was basically my day. However I did watch the Keeping Up with the Kardashians season premiere (guilty pleasure) & an excellent Ryan Reynolds movie called 'Definitely, maybe.' I wanted to watch 'Forrest Gump' but our cable provider didn't have that movie in their selection. :(. I've never seen that movie either! Hopefully I'll watch it soon. Tom Hanks is one of my favorite actors.


   I did have time to squeeze in some photography though. Here are a few pictures I captured;;

   This candle, smells AMAZING! I am absolutely in LOVE with the smell! Words cannot describe it, but it's most definitely my favorite. Sadly, I don't think BBW sells it anymore. :(. I looked for it at the mall today, but it wasn't there...

   My friend Kristen gave me this bedazzled 'M' christmas ornament last year, but it's just too pretty to only have up on Christmas. So I keep it on the corner of my full-length mirror. :)

Dehydrated Noodles Brighten My Boring Summer Days.

   'Ello darlings! I'm FINALLY posting my first post!! For the past three days I've been busy working on the layout details, blog info, & such (the editing is still not finished, but beauty takes time, no?).  So I never did have time to post the pictures / blog about yesterday. There's no time like the present, so I might as well do it today! Here it is...my FIRST POST on my NEW BLOG, the girl in the floral skirt. Enjoy, loves! *blows kisses*

   So today (yesterday...technically.) was a pretty normal summer day. I woke up at my usual 10:30, but not from my lovely iPod. Instead, my mother came bursting into my bedroom, screaming like a drill sargeant, telling me to basically get up off my lazy butt & start the day. Doesn't that just make you want to leap happily out of bed & begin your list of chores? Heck no. So, being the rebellious teenager that I am, I stayed in bed for another 30 minutes just to get her angry. >:) Does anyone else do that? Or am I just pure evil? 
    The plans for the day were to go golfing (just play 9 holes of 3 par). So I got pulled on some denim shorts, tucked in a polo, strung on a belt, & placed my visor atop my head. Turns out, my mother had other plans. Those plans included cleaning bathrooms, vacuuming stairs & rugs, tidying up bedrooms, & so much more. My mother's a cleaning-nazi. It gets a little annoying, but hey. I have to remember it's her house-not mine. Golf was put on hold until her 'random cleaning fest' finished. We left the house at 4PM. (About 4 hours later than planned, might I add. )
   Golfing went much better than expected. We haven't been out for at least a year, so I was expecting to be terrible. But after a few crappy shots, I very slowly improved. We started out at the driving range, so after a bucket of balls, I was done. (Like I said, I hadn't golfed in a year!) Plus, it was getting later, so we didn't expect to get a tee-time.  So we decided on going to dinner instead.
   Do you know what the best part of golfing was? My shoes!! Oh, how I adore my golfing shoes!! They were my mom's old ones, so they're probably from..hmm...mid/late 80's? I'm not sure on that, but they are so retro! Here are some pictures;;

   


   Don't you guys love them!?! I adore the fringe and how the laces tie on top of it. :) I call them 'vintage' as a joke with my mom. So these are my vintage Nikes! Still, I'm debating wether or not to wear them to school (because golf shoes have the spikes on the bottom.) or other places. It feels a little funky walking in them on terrain other than grass. Maybe after some practice I'll get used to them. :)


   Here are some more pictures I took throughout the day;;

   My brother insisted that colored lemonade was 'so cooler' than the normal yellow, so we added food coloring to give our drinks a twist. 

   Yum, yum, yum. This is practically my summer menu. Cup of Soup--chicken flavored. Dehydrated noodles are heavenly. 'Nuff said.
