Back in Black

This is what Clarkson University students look like during Finals week!!!
Today all of my friends asked me "is this your goth look"..."where is the funeral?"
As I have said before I just love wearing black. I am a huge fan of goth music and metal of course, but this black ensemble sort of just happened.
The one compliment I did receive was "you remind me of Madonna in the Papa don't preach video"
Beggers can't be choosers!

American Scholar





Creeps!
I have been swamped in homework and fraternity meetings, so I have been desperate to sneak in Creep & Chic time. I try to carry around my camera as much as possible but most of the time when I leave my apartment I literally have one eye open. I took these pictures on Monday right before my Biofuels and farm policy class. I know it sounds really boring, but when you have an extremely hot professor who is passionate about what he teaches it turns into an AWESOME class. I have been wearing dresses almost everyday since the first day of classes because once October comes around it will be time to bundle up. The necklace I am wearing is one of the pieces I snagged from the thrift store on first Saturday for five bucks.  Although one of the pieces fell off already I still love how chunky and tribal it is. I usually don't like bold chunky jewelry but I am trying to experiment with my style more and stop being so basic. Ha, have you guys been watching any of the runway shows online? I have and I am obsessed with Peter Som and Tadashi Shoji! I have yet to see Jason Wu and mo other favorite Helmut Lang, but I am sure they will not disappoint. 

Creep On!

Here are my favorite looks from the two shows:

First Saturday

Bonjour!
It is my first weekend back at school, and I must admit I am totally homesick.
However, today was quite fun. The  town I attend school hosts an event called First Saturday and the surrounding schools perform, host tables, stores give discounts, etc. It was the perfect opportunity to take my mind off all the negative emotions I have been harboring and enjoy the weather with my friends. I also ran into a girl with AMAZING HAIR. I love people who take risks and have cool, colorful, fun style. The young lady I met had multi color hair and I totally fell in love with her. I pretty much ambushed her and begged her to let me take her picture. Usually, I don't meet many people here with such fun style and personalities, it was so refreshing to meet someone so nice and bold. Anywho, we ended our day with the local thrift shop. It is so cozy and loveable. They always have such unique items. I purchased a ring and a necklace that I will share later on. Also, they have really cool knick knacks and photos that I want to go back and purchase. That is the beauty of attending school in a small town are the little mom and pop shops that house such cute and unique items.
