Morals are Immortal

It rained today! Well really a small sprinkle but its just been so terribly hot that even the slightest sprinkle seems amazing! I found this picture on google search its by La Gazette du Bon Ton called "It's Still Raining"

AMAZING! Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring/summer fashion show. These two are my favorite!!!!

Here are my favorite from the fall/winter collection, kind of going with the rainy season!
Today i didnt wear anything special so im not going to put it up. I was going to put up something i wore on Monday but i forgot to take pictures hehe sorry!

My floating balloon: Today my balloon has all the morals of the world. Monday it seemed as if Morals were the theme of the day. In first period history the topic was Plato and Confucius, and if you are not familiar wtih them Plato was a ruler who wanted a society based on rule and having a ruler while Confucius believed that all people were good and that morals could rule society. However if you really think about it, do you honestly believe that the society we live in today can be run by us believing everybody will do the right thing? And even so, do you honestly want a society were everybody was moral? Although in a small picture having a society were you could believe that everybody would do the right thing seems great when you get closer you may see that having that society will cause for a lot of boring days. Im not saying by any means that you shouldnt do the right thing, because of course you should but a world were everyone was perfect just seems so unperfect. This brings me to my English class, we read the poem The Bleeder, and if you havnt read it i really wouldnt recommend it. Its very disturbing. We also read another poem and i can remember what it was called or which poem got us talking about morals but one did. We brought up the idea of perfection and how if everyone was perfect how would we know they were perfect? I mean think about it! If everybody was perfect the idea of perfection wouldnt exist and there would be no way or reason for having the word perfect. There wouldnt be a line or measurment of what is perfect and what is. Morals are perfection but what is perfection if in todays society perfection doesnt exist? Is that confusing? maybe a little yes. What im saying is perfection is the goal we try to achieve and morals is the way we achieve it. The lesson? well the lesson is morals. Thats it basically. Sorry this balloon was so confusing! =D

Don't Hate Because You Can

Okay, so i decided every sunday i would make a list of the things i really like. This one is just fashion but i might mix it up with music or books or something! - 1. Is a Roberto Cavalli dress that i love with a deep burning passion. It is just so amazing i dont know how to describe it. 2. Is a pair of Hudson Jeans that i love. They are made to look destressed and have pieces of the english flag patched in. 3. Is a Vera Wang dress that i love! Seriously when i die i would like to be burried in that please! If only i had a place to wear it and a few hundred dollars lying around! 4. A pair of Balenciaga heels that i adore. I was looking through W magazine and found an advertisement and she was wearing shoes like this and i completely fell in love. Although these are not the exact ones i fell in love with they are still amazing. To see the ones go to balenciaga.com and the first picture you see is the picture i saw. 5. Is one of the 09/10 fall/winter bags for chanel. This one caught my eye mostly because of the beautiful color. 6. Is surprisingly Volcom. On the back of my September issue of Nylon the ad for What Happened to Melody Malone struck me with her wearing this jacket. I was so surprised to find that it was Volcom because usually there clothes are just jeans and t-shirts!

=Thats a preface of one of my books called Forever in my mind (Sorry if you cant read it). It isnt all that great and i'll probably add later one for another book that im working on. Basically the story is about a girl who loses her sister and its just her and her dad and they move to get away from everything to a small town were she meets a boy name luke who she obviously falls in love with but something happens to him in a car accident. Then something magical happens and suddenly everythings as if he had never died. She learn that this will only last five days and times just giving her an extra chance to say goodbye. Blah blah blah he convinces her while hes still there to investigate what really happened to her sister and ya! Its better writing in the actual book. I need to finish it! My friend Eden just finished one of her books and its really great! i havent finished reading it yet but its called Meet Me in Minnesota. Shes a great writer and if she publishes it keep an eye out cuz shes gonna be the next Stephenie Meyer!

My Floating Balloon: Today my balloon has all the haters of the world. I laugh as they float up there screaming to come down. Have you noticed that in a group or a class room there is usually one person you have to worry about judging you? It's as if they are stuck in there small world were all they do is think of ways to say something mean about what you said or what you are wearing. I would love a world were i could just be me all the time without having to worry about what one person thinks. I thought of this because yesterday i was on youtube looking at this video i love of dk1 (if you dont know him heres a link Paper Cranes Song) and i scrolled down to leave a comment when i saw what someone had wrote. It was horrible! He was judging him and making nasty comments because dk1 is gay and he thought his song was horrible! It all goes back to the saying everybody knows "if you dont have anything nice to say dont say it at all" and yet here this person is judging someone that had the courage to make a video for the world to see. As my eyes made it past this terrible comment i saw someone elses comment above basically saying everything i was thinking. They wrote how ignorant this person must be and how if you dont like the video dont watch it and dont leave stupid comments saying it. Anyway i think the world would be a better place if people just stopped judging everybody if they decide to step out of what is known as "normal" and just be themselves. Thats my little lesson of the day. <3 Thanks for reading! 3 fans yay!

Love Love

Ok so the first picture is the ad for Swatch that im in love with! I first saw it in Nylon and quickly put it on my wall! i love the whole concept and the outfits! Even though the girl towards the fronts outfit is beautiful (especially the blouse) the girl in the background caught my attention the most, im absolutly in love with the whole outfit! The second picture is the ad for Dolce and Gabbana. I love all their ads and clothes but with this one i adore the dress with Marilyn Monroes face on it. I could never pull it off but a girl can only dream!

I wore:

Jacket: Crush $20, MJ Shirt: Tj max $7, Pants: Gap $16 (i also wore my short black boots from crossroads trading, but you cant obviously see them!)

Again i went on girlsense and created a doll wearing what i designed on paper. Although it isn't exactly what i drew i still think its pretty close to what i was hoping for.

My floating Balloon: Today my balloon has the things i love. I wave as my friends and family float up to the sky. Its amazing how often we take the people and things we love for granted. Everyday we see these people that are there for us but we really dont think about what it would be like without them. Although i find myself wanting to be alone or fighting with them, really my life would suck without them (haha kelly clarkson). The other day i went into my moms room and layed in her bed with her and realized that i wouldnt be able to do that forever. She always asks me if i want to sleep in her bed like when i was little, but i always think i'm too old when really i should charish those moments she asks and take her up on it because there will be a day when i really am too old to and wont be able to.

<3Thanks for reading!

Creativity of the Eye

Today i wore:

In the first picture: top-$1 the repeat boutique shorts: dads cut off levis necklace: $7 walmart

2nd picture: top- free jacket-wetseal $35 jeans-pacsun $20 necklace- used, free

So i am a super bargain shopper! everything i but is usually under 20 bucks and that jacket was a major splurge. I could seriously care less about the name thats on the tag, as long as its cute and i can create an outfit with it ill take it. The other day i went to this used clothing store across the street called the Repeat Boutique and they had a whole rack of clothes for a dollar and i was in heaven! I bought the pink top above and cute dress i saw a few months ago on sale at a regular store for $40! I was amazed!!!!!!!!

My floating balloon: Today my balloon has my creativity. Everyday i find myself striving to do something creative wether its drawing clothes or writing my story i always want to do something that expresses myself. However as i look back at some of the things ive created i start comparing them to someone elses. When i write i catch myself saying in my head "what would Sarah Dessen say?" When really i should be thinking "what should I say?" Or when I draw a fashion design i start changing something i had always done because one design i saw didnt do that, her arm wasnt positioned this way, her hair didn't look like this. I start critisising myself for the things ive made because they arent as good as one of my friends or the thing i say in a magazine. However, i realized the other day when i caught myself doing this that even if i changed this one simple thing it would never be as good as that thing i saw in a magazine. No matter how much i change there will always be something better, and thats just life. You could be the best in your class at one thing but when you get out of that class there is still most likely someone better then you at the school or in the world. Instead of trying to be better then someone or try to be more like someone i just need to realize that my creativity is mine and whatever i put down on paper or make up is straight from me and thats the best i can do.

See Me for Me

My very first blog post ever! This is exciting. Well, obviously i am new to this whole blogging thing and just want to start out by saying hi. Hi! I am Victoria, a 15 year old girl whos just trying to survive life. Basically i am me.

Thats basically me. I love to design fashions but cant actually create them (i suck at sewing). The girl i drew basically sums up who i am and what i like to wear. I love fashion and while i dont have a specific style i do know what i like. I love to look different then everybody else, and hate just wearing a tshirt and jeans. The only reason i actually wake up in the morning instead of rehitting my snooze button is to find that perfect outfit that represents the day. Not just fashion but i love to write. I am currently writing a novel (or trying to finish one) called...well theres actually three! Thats one of my problems i start writing and then it gets really great but then theres this dry spot and i stop for a moment and get a new idea for another book. (ill make sure i put a section of one of my books up here sometime).

 

Okay so...the other day i made this design its a skirt with half of the american flag on it and half england, with a huge bow around the waist. Then yesterday i had NO HOMEWORK! it was amazing, and so i had a bunch of free time. So i went on this sight i used to go on for old times sake called girlsense.com and basically what you do is you create your own store and make your own fashions and then sell them at your store for girlcents. So i created this and was amazed at how easy it was because a few years ago when i used to go on this site you couldnt do anything! Anyway i thought that was pretty cool. Now everytime i design something cool im going to go on and make a doll version online!

 My floating balloon: Today my floating balloon has my childhood memories. I had to right an essay about the games we played when we were kids and i realized that im not considered a kid anymore. And while people my age cant wait to grow up i find myself wanting the past even more. As i looked back at all the things i played when i was little i thought how today, right now, at my current age it would be considered weird to play those games and it sucks! I loved dressing my barbies  and creating worlds for them, but if i got out that big box in the back of my closet my friends would all think im crazy. People older always say they wish they could be a kid again, and these years were the best years of their life. There must be a reason for that! We rush through life so quick i dont think us kids take time to realize what we have and what we are leaving behind as we grow older. 

Music: The song playing in my head today is More Than This by Vanessa Carlton. Its one of my favorite song and has great lyrics that really sums up everything i just wrote! Listen well!
