what’s in, what’s out {september}

what’s {IN}

♥ Being nominated by loads of people in my grade for the senior superlative of “Best Dressed” – however shallow, I cannot help but admit that I am quite flattered that I was stopped in the hallway by random people asking for my name to nominate!

♥ Football season! Amazing games, however cold, are entirely enjoyable to perform at! Gooooo team! Rah rah rah!

♥ My favorite (and signature) silhouettes include: {1} mini bottom (tailored black shorts, denim cutoffs, or high waisted bandage skirts) + blouse + black patent pumps, and {2} dark wash skinnies + bodycon top + heels of some wort. I have been wearing loads of black, greys, and creams with scare bits of color here and there as of late – and I am loving it.

♥ HALLOWEEN. I cannot and will not even bother attempting to conceal my childish excitement to dress and doll up! The proof lies in the ever cliché orange-and-black combination. It’s classic. (P.S.: Be on the look out for a Halloween post, darlings!)

♥ Listening to loads of rap/hip hop at the highest volume possible to create a faux-hydraulics effect as I drive.

♥ Experimenting with different makeup looks and discovering that I will forevermore love dark, smokey eyes with better-than-my-natural-lips gloss or lipstick.

♥ Deep, plummy wine-reds & burgandy glosses and lipsticks. I am embracing the inner vampish vixen.

♥ Covergirl’s LashBlast Mascara. Quite late on the bandwagon, I know, but alas I was able to get my pudgy little hands on a bottle of tacky fat orange-ness. Only second to my beloved Estee Lauder mascara (I forget the specifics). Simply g e n i u s .  If you darlings are still hesitant, simply search youtube for [many] detailed reviews! I would be more than happy to add my own to the plethora of LastBlast raves if you’d like…

♥ Olive green smokey eyes. Somehow the shade works well with my eyes & skin tone and happens to be my school color. Again with the rah rah rah school spirit!

♥ EDIT: publishing this post at exactly 11:11. Make a wish, mes chéries!

what’s {OUT}

♥ And the stresses of senior year begin. A.k.a. college applications and all that nonsense that is determined to consume my entire being – social life AND academic life inclusive – until the last of deadlines.

♥ I shall be honest and admit that I do have my fears of not getting into a college of my choice that haunt in my in the form of rejection letters that plague my nightmares.

♥ Not being able to blog regularly both here and at my POP magazine blog. Blogging is still a love of mine, but when priorities call to be straightened, blogging tends to fall to the wayside. ** I apologize for any random hiatus-es or lack of responses to emails/comments – I do love you all so, so dearly, but I lack the time to dedicate myself to everything equally without sacrificing my own sanity. **

♥ Fashion Week. I’m not quite sure as to why I haven’t bothered updating myself on the latest RTW’s of the season, but as of late I have been reminiscing over previous collections. The current fad in obsessively following trends are only slightly irritating.

What are your {in’s} and {out’s} of September 2009?
