Now I make no secret of the fact I am utterly obsessed with all that is simple, chic and effortless but that doesn't mean that I'm not partial to a good print when I see one.. enter Mary Katrantzou. The queen of prints showcased her new collection at London fashion week and the collection would turn even the cleanest of dressing women.
Following up from her beautifully executed SS11 collection the SS12 is leaving me in all kinds of a spin.. I'm ready to rip of my grandmas wallpaper and fashion a skirt out of it. This. is. serious. Stirring up feelings of French Renaissance sans the extravagant wigs (although I wouldn't say no to a trophie of grey ringlets) with space age lipsticks in various metallic hues. conventional- no, Impractical- maybe, Lust worthy- Definitely.


Lanvins AW 11-12 Campaign is so cute! Models Karen Elson, Raquel Zimmermann, Lowell Tautchin, Milo Spijker dance, albeit awkwardly, to pittbull's 'I know you want me' shot by Mario Testino.
Charmingly tongue in cheek, the clothes are painfully covertable and I love the extra dimension of movement and personality shown by the brand!
Elson and Zimmermann are so damn beautiful that even a brief foray into poorly choreographed moves makes me swoon.
I painted my VANS and flung white paint all over them...no more checkered shoes!





 THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD HAVE MADE THAT BETTER WAS CURRY POWDER.


Today was super weird because I got my senior picture prototypes back. I look like a mainstream loser. WOMP! I have the jankest hair that does. NOT. HOLD. A. CURL!!!! So, it was bouncy and cool in the morning but, by 3rd block it was white girl bedhead. DARN YOU RECESSIVE GENES! A group of oblivious white dudes asked me what my "exact" ethnicity was and my old English teacher signed on with a "Yeah, what are you?" WTF? I said "Dude, I'm AFRICAN" and they were all "oh cool". Last month  I was all "DUDE, I'm TAMIL" and before that I was all "Dude, I'm PANAMANIAN"...

Keep it shrouded in mystery... I'm totally black though.LOL

Then I almost had a nut allergy scare. I ate a peanut shaped walnut  and I almost died. But it was only a walnut so I'm good. I kinda wished that I had went into anaphylactic shock so that I didn't have to take the SATs on Saturday...but I would most likely recover from before the SATs
Me and my man James


I hate posing like a loser.  Jonathan asked me what my "exact" ethnicity was...SAD

I have bangs now
Time to wake up!
This is my outfit for the day!
Gotta make my bed!
MMM breakfast. In the pic it's just eggs, but I had eggs and bacon! *YUM*!
Got to go to school. Here I am walking with Lanie almost out the door.
After school I played AG dolls with Bella.
Here I am reading a book!
   It's nighttime! Time to go to sleep.
 I hope you liked this post, better let Caelen  sign out...
P.S. Please guess on the GTD below.=)

Apologies for the absence peeps! I have been globe trotting these past 10 days! I spent the first part in Ibiza with my sister and close friend and the latter part on the trip to Prague that I won via Dertour- Both were absolutely amazing and pictures and details to follow!
While I trawl through the 1087 pictures I took, I want to just do a quick post about a shoot I am so in love with it may be a little unhealthy!
Lately I have had such an unexplainable pull towards perspex and a shoot/feature involving it- this idea has become so all-consuming that I have a little something in the pipeline to rid my mind of it- excited!
However, it was whilst doing research for my mood board that I stumbled across this shoot for underwear brand' Bonds' styled by Sue Anne San (of stylestalker) and photographed by Zanitta whittington.
Taylor Warren looks flawless and suitably 'willowesque' - the colours are so beautiful and fresh and the idea of incorporating perspex and chiffon is divine!
Perfectly executed with such flare, fantastic inspiration!
Hi Everyone!
    I'll be giving you another chance with the GTD game below. BTW, my next post will probably be a photo story, anyways, please guess.
Please guess only one time, don't comment with a different name guessing several times please.

  Who is it? BTW, my next post will probably be a photostory. Winner gets a siggy and the award from the sidebar.
Geridil A!
   Geridil, I will send out your prize. Geridil is actually my friend, but she didn't win because of that. Anyways, don't forget to enter our other giveaway donated by Karen. And happy blogaversary to well, us.
I have had a ton of ideas for blog posts lately but no time to actually create them!  So I will start with the most recent updates and work my way back.  This week, at 11 weeks, Levi has finally started to show some interest in toys.  He has finally started to reach towards and hold onto some of the items hanging on his playmat (picture with Bella) and on his carseat.  Also, the past 2 nights he has slept through!  Friday night I put him down around 7:30 pm and he didn't stir until 4:30 am.  And even then, Justin put his pacifier back in his mouth and he went back to sleep for about another hour.  Saturday night he went down around 8:30 pm and didn't wake up until 6:30 am.  I still had to get up every 4 hours and pump, but still, I hope this trend continues.  The caveat to this is that he refused to nap all day Friday and all day Saturday.  But I will take him awake all day if he will sleep all night.


We also spent the first week of September with Pop and Gram in Boerne while Justin was on a business trip to Canada.  Here is Pop watching Levi and a visit to his Great-Grandmother's house (this one was actually taken on our first trip there when he was 6 weeks).



For Mom's birthday, Hannah had requested a picture of our family, so my friend Lindsay took this one when she came over to babysit so Justin and I could go on a date.  We saw a matinee showing of "The Debt" which I enjoyed and Justin slept through.  Then we went to dinner at a nice Mexican restaurant that I had a Groupon to.  (I love Groupon, by the way.  If you wish to sign up - it's free, feel free to use my code to get me $ off my next purchase. http://www.groupon.com/r/uu21102754)


And finally, here are some cute, and 1 not so cute, recent pictures of Levi...



 
  
And finally, I got Justin to take some pictures of me and Levi - I'm always wielding the camera so I don't have many pictures with me in them!
