"Stupid is trial and error. Mostly error."

I'm back from King of Prussia and I had a blast, as usual. :) I was there for four days for my dance competition. My studio did really well, and we won in almost every single category we were in, which is a real achievement. Anyways, one of the things I love about King of Prussia is obviously the mall. There are sooo many stores there, and where I live, I don't have access to most of them. I just love the variety of designer brands that you can find at King of Prussia. Some of my favorites are there, like Betsey Johnson, GUESS, Armani Exchange, Burberry, Michael Kors, and Ralph Lauren. Of course, I took pictures of all! The greatest thing about these pictures is that I took most of them at 10 in the morning, when the stores weren't even open yet so people weren't blocking my shots!


Me and my beloved Betsey Johnson :)


Shorts were 2 for $100 at Armani Exchange


GUESS wasn't open yet :( but I got an aerial view of the store.


Michael Kors (look at all of those shoes and purses!)


Me and my new besty at Ralph Lauren, hehe :) I think I'd make a good mannequin.


Burberry <3



I love Diesel's "Be Stupid" Campaign so I had to get some shots of the store's front. Plus, I love elephants :) I just wish that there wasn't so much of a glare from the lights.


I really liked the display set up at Forever 21, so I decided to pose (yet again) with the mannequins. Also, there was a worker guy just sitting there in the window, so I, and my oh-so-mature ways, decided to take some pictures with him with my friends... without his knowledge, hehe :)




And here are two pictures of me in some of my costumes. The pink one kinda makes me feel like I'm a marshmallow, and I love the spanish costume. Though, I had to borrow it from one of the girls at my studio. She's bigger than me in the tummy and chest regions, but I needed this bigger size because I'm tall. Sooo... I uh, had to stuff myself, if you know what I mean. ;)
Haha, anyways, here's one picture where you can see what I'm wearing. It was when I was taking pictures at the mall at 10 AM, so needless to say I was a bit groggy because I had been up until 2 AM the night before, so my outfit isn't that fabulous. But here it is:

The picture's not that great, but I forgot to get a picture of my outfit, sorry :(

I'll do another post later on what I bought and I'll put some pictures on! Talk to all of you lovelies later! Oh, btw- Who else here is on summer vaca right now? Mine just started this week and I am so pumped! I love summer :) So many outfit possibilities and NO DRESS CODE! :)

TTFN- I'm off to King of Prussia!

So, I'll be gone all weekend (I know, your drowning in your tears right now). But have no fears, I am off to a magical, mystical adventure at King of Prussia Mall in Pennsylvania. So, I will take AS MANY PICTURES AS POSSIBLE. :) I have a dance competition, so I'll be sure to post some pics of me in my costumes, and I'll be sure to pick up a few things while I'm at the mall. Wish me luck chiquitas!

Con Amor,
Lauren <3

"Our hearts combined like a neutron star collision..."

So, I am currently typing this post with only one contact in. I know, weird. Well, I was in a rush today to put in my contacts, and when I left my house, I thought that the left one had fallen out, because everything looked funny, so I took out the right contact. Turns out the left hadn't fallen out. I'm naturally near-sighted, so this worked out relatively well, because my left eye could see far away, but not near because I had my contact in (but it was messed up), while my right eye could see near but not far away, because I didn't have that contact in. So they balance out, but everything's kind of out of focus. It's like homemade bifocals. Gah, I need to work on my contact skills. You think I would be okay with them because I've had them now for about 3/4 of a year, but... no.

Anyways, right now I am OBSESSED with Muse's "Neutron Star Collision", and I'm actually listening to it right now while I'm taking a break from studying for finals. Unfortunately, the website I make my music player off of hasn't gotten this song yet on its database, so I can't put it on my playlist. But no worrys, there's still youtube. :) So here it is:



I love it! It's so space-y and just different. But it's so Muse.

Anyways, today I worked out in the yard with the fam for a bit in the morning. Normally I don't really like to do yard work, and today was no different. I had studying to do and it was early and I was just in a yucky mood. But I'm better now that I'm blogging. :) But afterwards, we went out to eat and we went to the store, which has the weirdest mix of things you could imagine. Here are some pics:



The evil army of garden gnomes




The princessy section of the store (one of my favorites <3)



They even had some really pretty flowers




The dog section. I love dinosaurs, so I'm a big fan of the purple toy. It was a huge canvas purple dinosaur, and it's completely filled with squeakers. If I was a dog, I'd be all over this baby. Hell, I'm a human and I'm all over it. And the shoes I personally loved. I have no argument against teaching dogs early to chew UGGS and crocs. Why not make these unwanted shoes useful and give them to your dogs to chew on? But then again, why make your dog suffer.




Some mini animals and trucks :)



This was my personal favorite: a pink piggy watering can. I died.

I have to go finish some more studying, but I'll post what I wore today later.

Some Images of Inspiration

I was really pretty bored today, and being the wonderful student I am, I decided to NOT study for my finals today, and I instead searched for some images of inspiration. I do this quite often, but I haven't lately, so I decided to find some and do a post for all of you in case you were all in the same boat as me. Without further ado, here they are:












Have a weekend to remember!

Con Amor,
Lauren <3

Dance and what not... Something different for a change...

Hola Chicas,

So I promised you all some pictures from my dance show and whether you want to see them or not, too bad because I'm posting them! :) Anyways, here are just a few. I look kinda bad in the ballet pics. The lighting was wayyyy off. :/








Be back with another outfit post really soon, I promise!

You'll never guess...

Hola Chicas,

So, seeing as I haven't really posted ANYTHING in FOREVER, I'm going to post my outfit from my concert tonight, which went pretty well if I do say so myself. :) I just got back from it, and I'm pretty tired. But anyways, here's my outfit. It was pretty casual, so I just wore something comfy and pretty:

I really like this dress because it's something comfy that I can just throw on, yet I still look pretty good.


And here are my shoes :)




I really love these shoes. When I first saw them at DSW, I wasn't sure if I really liked them that much, but then I tried them on and I had to bring them home with me. :) The designer is Franco Sarto, and I must admit, this designer produces shoes that are both affordable and adorable, so I will definitely buy more of these shoes!

Soooo... I'm back... :)

Hola Chicas!

So, I'm INCREDIBLY ecstatic that I can finally devote some more of my time to this blog. I have been so UNGODLY busy with school lately that I just haven't had time to have a life, let alone get to write to all of you lovelies. But alas, here I am, sitting amdist the piles of clothing in my room to write to you. Feel special, because I am seriously risking my life here. I haven't cleaned my room in a little while and it's just a tad bit messy. And it's raining outside right now, which bums my mood just a bit. But at the same time, rain's kinda nice, so I guess I'll take it. Annnnnddd (yes, there's more), there's this awful car alarm that's been going off for the past 10 minutes in my neighborhood that just keeps repeating some alien-esque phrase then making a beeping noise that makes you want to slit your wrists. Anyways, here it is, AN OUTFIT POST! Enjoy!

Here's a picture for you to visualize the fabulous weather here in Pennsylvania right now:


And this is what I wore to school today. Nothing too fancy because of the weather:


And the bracelets (not in the picture):


And the shoes (not in the picture):

I hope I get to post another outfit tomorrow. I think I will! Plus, some pictures from my dance show and what I wore to my concert tonight will definitely be on the way!

Lauren <3

Oh, and by the way: What do you chicas think about those Silly Bandz? I personally adore them. But, of course you don't wear them with your fabulous outfits cuz that's a bit tacky. I know I am in the picture, buuuut that's just because I am currently getting changed into sweatpants until my concert, so don't shoot me. :)
