Planes & Hurricanes.

Planes: Due to my obession and persistence when asking "WHEN ARE WE GOING TO NEW YORK AGAIN"... my parents have surprised me with a family trip to NYC right near Christmas. How phenomenal is that?! All the Christmas spirit, decorations, and sales (ah!!) will take place right when I'm there. We'll be in NYC from December 22nd until the 24th. Although our time is limited, it will not be wasted. We plan on saving every single bit of money we'll get (including the following: money from grandparents, money from parents, thanksgiving outfit money, Christmas outfit money, Santa gifts in the equivalence of money) and spending it in the one and only, New York City! I'll hit all the unique boutiques, one-time stores, everything of importance. Plus, I'll have so much to show for my trip--talk about souveniers!! I already have my plane outfit semi-planned out. Here's how I'm picturing myself...

Long silhouette.
Long coat over a layer of blouse-y feminine tops.
A scarf strategically tucked under my coat collar to make it pop, ever so slightly.
Layering of necklaces: gold inital necklace for sure, Mom's locket necklace.
My gold link bracelet.
Gold studs for shimmer.
Denim trousers tucked into my amazing chocolate brown suede boots.
Full lucious curly hair.
Big eyelashes and natural make up.
An oversized travel bag on my arm, at the elbow.
Rolling my polkadotted suitcase with the baggage tag that reads: "Everyone has their baggage." ha!
Sleek gloves.
Brown fedora to coordinate with my boots.
Starbucks caramel latte in the other hand.
Paused in the middle of the sidewalk, just looking around, taking it all in.

I really cannot wait!


Hurricanes: We have been blessed, hah, with Hurricane Fay this week. Monday was our first day of school. Tuesday and Wednesday were off due to the strong winds and heavy rains. (Although unapparent to us, weathermen insisted that we were safe at home to dodge this nasty storm..hmm) Speaking of Fay, she’s swooping in and potentially taking our power! Better post before I lose it! More to come with updates on Fay.

Ciau!
