Old Times
AKA... three months ago when school was almost out and the only thing that seemed to be ahead was summer. Now school has begun again and i'm entering feeling as if my whole summer was condensed into one short week.
new (ferocious) boots
Today was my last day of freedom before the dreaded school grind begins tomorrow. I'm shocked by how quickly the summer went by and SO FREAKIN PISSED OFF i have to do stuff tomorrow... and get up at 6. But i got these shoes.. they're a bit to hot to wear anywhere for a couple of months but i figure i prolly bust them out in November when it's no longer 100 degrees every day.
O ya, sorry for the crappy photo, my nice camera's missing a connect-y cord

Would You like a Cupcake?
Tomorrow my neighbor opens her bakery Sugar Mama's Bakeshop. She's been dreaming about it forever and it's finally happening! She had hoped to have it open by June, then July, and now.. August and i was supposed to be working there all summer. Now i'll just have to settle for Saturdays. Tonight was a little party at the shop with tons of free cupcakes and cookies for friends and family. I did my part as the "counter girl" dolling out the goodies, here's what I wore. P.S. YOu can visit her website HERE

Slow Summer
i apologized for the lack of posts over the school year and now i apologize for the lack of posts over the summer... I really have no excuse other than i'm lazy. running a blog is too much work!!! i'd rather just shop at vintage and thrift stores - which i've done an abundance of in my free time. This summer i practically bought myself an entirely new wardrobe and most of it cost under $10. Besides the shopping i've been dabbling in sewing and riding my bike around with ARI i've also read a few books, (Go ask Alice,The Answer is Always Yes, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower) i'm usually not one for teen books but i am 15 after all.
