Oh no!, only 4 more weeks of summer! School is coming, this could either be good or bad news.
For the last month i have been chilling, cleaning and getting things done. i have also been hitting warehouse sales and making shopping lists for the end of the month!

This shopping list consists of:

>A pare of bell bottom jeans
>A few different pares of Knee highs
>Colorful Bobby-pins
>Mini/Big Hair Clips
>Black flats (that go with everything!)
>Gray and/or black Zip up hoodie! (has to be comfy!)

Me and mom us to make shopping trips at the end of every summer before i started homeschooling, I'm really looking forward to making this trip again. but instead of going to target, we will be Going to the VampireFreaks store located here in my very own NYC, just another reason i love living here!

Anyway, New school year also means lots more outfits to document! so hopefully i will be able to maintain this. Speaking of outfits, this is one of my favorite ones from this week,

>A black dress That has Japanese/Chinese writing on it (bought at recent warehouse sale)
>Black leggings
>Hot pink lace up plastic boots (borrowed from sister)
>hat, Sunglasses and Studded Chunky bracelet

Gothic Gargoyles and Comic book heros

2009-07-17T13:16:00.000-07:00

OK, so i haven't really been out of the house in a matter of weeks, so i agreed to go and walk around city with my dad
shopping for his new up and coming movie shoot. Now This was much more fun then it sounds, we went shopping by union square were there are the best stores! well for me anyway...
For example, Ricky's, Journeys, Halloween adventure, and lots of other fun wig shops and goth/S&M stores.

This Photo was taken inside "Halloween Adventures" where they have everything fictional! Including Figures - like batman over there, of course those aren't for sale though.. i think- Halloween props,Costumes,Magic equipment, wigs and other amazing and mystical things! LOVE IT!

We also stopped in this awesome Goth Store that is next door to the costume store. i looked around and took some photos, including a few shots of the awesome gargoyle -that i totally want a mini version of!- out side the store! My dad said i looked like a tourist.

Laziness is a bad habit!

2009-07-12T20:22:00.001-07:00

Hi my name is Claire and i am a Laziness victim...
Yeah so for these past few weeks i haven't really been doing anything, i have been Going outside and wearing awesome stuff, i just haven't had the chance to take photos of them. Sorry.

I have been doing some art projects and Writing though.
For about 2 months now i have been doing a big art project that is the size of my wall... it is my wall actually. i have been doing a big fashion/photography/art college on my wall. cutting up nylon,vogue and teen vogue. they have the best colorful adds and photography... that i have seen so far.

But this is how far i have gotten so far =] i have a long way to go but hopefully i will be done by the time school starts.
I also have been working on a short story i started a while ago, it's called Blind Magic which you can check out here Check it out please i have worked hard on it.

Rock Music and Ripped up Stockings

Last Weekend i was going up to long island for a another Movie shoot. On the way there i got bored and started picking at my tights. Eventually i ripped a huge hole in my tights and was like "oh well" and ripped some more. and they came out as the following:

Nice right?
I love them.

Anyway, one scene we shot was set in like the 1800's and my dad put me in it. i wore this awesome period wench dress, [No Photos 4 this sorry, get over it]

Also this week i Went to this Vampire Anti-Prom on Friday, which was held at the new york library, omg! it was AWESOME! Thanks to a certain friend of mine i knew all the words to the nirvana songs they played. Among other songs that made people jump, including me. I think i even stepped on some toes and at one point hit this one kid standing behind me, in the face with my hand. Nice huh?

Busy Month and More to Come!

2009-06-13T20:52:00.000-07:00

Wow this has been a long month. Movie shoots,DIY projects,Warehouse sales,Spring cleaning (which isn't really finished),Cloths sorting and Parties!
I guess I'll start with the Warehouse sales! Me and meg had an awesome turn out for the warehouse sale last month. i Got some really nice dresses and this really cute jacket, that you can see in the photo below and above! I sorted out some of the new stuff this morning to put away, and i have noticed i have lots of H&M stuff! weird. H&M does make some great stuff.

Speaking of warehouse sales and such, My Sister went to this book sale/Out door Swap. I couldn't go because i couldn't wake up early enough, but she still got me a few things. Including this cool shirt that i totally went sicko on. I sliced some wholes in to make it look more edgy and punk, the finishing touch... Safety pins of course!

Pigtails and Leg warmers.

2009-05-27T13:39:00.000-07:00

I have Successfully figured out 4 ways to wear this dress... so far. i will (eventually) Take photos of all 4 and post them, they are as i would say, awesome!

I should be getting back to blogging more soon, a few weeks ago my usb cord broke and i have been using my dad's. I'm a bit lazy as it is, so having to plug the usb cord every time into the back of the computer (old 8 year old computer) has been annoying.

Lately I have been relaxing and enjoying my first week of summer vac, reading manga, watching anime, and being an all around geek. For the past year i have been home schooled i haven't really been splurging on anime or manga or comics or any of my favorite Geek activities so this has really been letting me unwind.

Time to Relax and Sit Back.

2009-05-18T08:30:00.000-07:00

Ok! so for the past two week i have been studying and taking my official test. the one i take every year so that the state knows I'm actually doing work while being home schooled. so yea i have to catch up...

So the last time i really got out of the house since taking my test was last weekend. I Went over by the Brooklyn bridge With my dad and got some awesome Photos. At one point while we were there this big tour bus showed up and all these people crowded around to take photos of the bridge.

I hate tourists... and have good reason too. I mean every time Someone from like upstate comes here during the weekend, or a family on vac, they always act stupid. Like they steal cabs! no real new yorker steals a cab from someone else, i mean come on. There are tons, Call your own cab! They also walk around in packs and wear cheesy shorts and t-shirts (I'm mainly talking about the family summer tourists) EVERY TIME! With disposable cameras!

I mean I'm sure I'm not the only person in the world who feels like that. Like when i go to Tokyo (cuz i always dream of going there) the people that actually live there will probably hate me too cuz I'm a anime/manga crazy American fan girl. (who will probably scream for joy when she walks into a cos-play store... and walk around in a Lolita dress!) so yeah...

Awesomeness.

2009-04-28T11:40:00.000-07:00

On Sunday i went to the swap o rama, and got awesome stuff! including a pare of Black skinny jeans (that i have been wanting forever) and A pare of Brown Converse.

yesterday i went and checked out the new "Grand Central Library" Omg i'm in love with it. I got this awesome Book with Tokyo Fashion through the years. It's called "Style Deficit Disorder Harajuku street fashion >Tokyo"

Emo Sand Man.

2009-04-25T12:16:00.002-07:00

I have decided to stop drinking Ginger ail! and to drink more water =] water is so much more stylish. ANYWAY....

It was a nice day today so i went out and took some photos. i am in love with this outfit. I'm wearing my favorite, favorite, favorite black dress. I'm also wearing my Sisters Black Uggs (Borrowing is the best cause it's free =] big sister's rule!) and my stripped tights that are just awesome.

I went into the comic Store too, i love this bag =o it's so cool. i wish i had seen this movie. They also had some awesome Watchmen bags (even though i herd the movie sucks) and death note.

Fruits Basket! WOOOOO!

This guy was labeled "Sand man" He's very emo =]

Can't Wait till Sunday.

2009-04-23T09:52:00.000-07:00

So I slept over at my sisters last night. and i was up most of the night... as you can see posting YouTube videos and signing up on twitter. i also got the chance to paint my nails at her place (since the smell of nail polish makes my parents sick) which was nice. she also let me barrow her long leggings and gave me this big awesome Flower ring. i want lots of silver and or big rings.
Anyway, we left early this morning and meg dropped me off at home so i wouldn't have to wait for a few hours while she got her hair colored.

i felt really good about this outfit! This is one of my favorite shirts to wear during the spring, summer and fall. this type of shirt always looks good on me. and i thought the Leggings made me look slimmer. i know I'm still growing but it's not easy to feel good about yourself when the jeans that were super baggy on you last summer are too tight on you now. Growing up sucks! =[
I'm also wearing my Favorite Shoes that i got at one of my first Swap rama's about 2 years ago

Originally they had black laces but i got these at another swap and i think they look awesome. i wear them all the time so they are a little bit more beat up when i got them.

If you don't know what the swap-o-rama is. it's this big big swap they have over at NYU, it's the best cuz they have sewing and silk screening that you can do with the things you find. it's also awesome cuz all of the stuff is from collage kids, so you are sure to find something awesome. (note to self, stop saying awesome) and we do every year. in fact this year's is on Sunday! Me and meg get to sort it, so we get all the good stuff before it go's out. i can't wait! cuz I'm growing out of all my clothing -_-

I do eat it up.

2009-04-23T04:15:00.000-07:00

I was surfing YouTube and i came upon this video...

I thought what he was saying was very interesting and very true! i do eat it up =]

Busy Busy Busy.

2009-04-21T22:26:00.001-07:00

Today was a pretty eventful day. unlike most of my days. I Got some air and Took some photos today, even though it was a little misty and chilly during the day. i wore my ripped jeans (done by my older sister who passed the jeans onto me), one of my favorite Shirts "The skull bunny shirt" and a bright yellow harajuku style hoodie. I almost Put This hoodie in my Sell bag but i decided it would be needed when i start school.

Later Tonight i went out again, Me and my sister Caught The new Zac Efron movie 17 Again It's a Pretty good movie, very funny. But we would both like to see a movie were zac is neither dancing nor Playing basket ball lol.

I blocked out the last photo cuz my face looked scary. Me and meg (my sister) ended up socked When we got home, due to not having an umbrella. I didn't mind much but we just took a cab home.
(Leather Jacket,My fav hat,Black Boots, Black Stockings,Some black Blouse With pockets..., And some striped Black and White hoodie)

I like Stapels....

2009-04-20T14:17:00.000-07:00

For the last few Days i have been Listening to J-Rock (Japanese rock) music non stop. I have also Been Googling some of my fav j-rock bands and musicians. (Google is magical!)

Miyavi (left) is my top fav J-rock musician. His music, along with his style is so awesome, it makes me wanna paint my nails black (which i have been meaning to do) and color my hair some bright random color.

Alice nine [below] is a new j-rock band i have been listening to. Their style also really blows my mind.
[Note to self: Get colored bobby pins and hot pink/ orange nail polish!]
I got a lot of inspiration fashion wise these past few days. i want to be a little more edgy and yet bright. And as a start i did a DIY on my leather jacket.

I kinda went crazy with the staple gun, but i stapled anything but paper...
I also found my bag of safety pins and added them to the jacket. It looks pretty good but it needs something... not sure what yet. I'll figure it out eventually.

Being Sick, Not Fun.

2009-04-13T10:11:00.000-07:00

I went to The Bronx Zoo with my sister and some friends on Wednesday. I must have Caught a chill cause i got hit pretty hard with the Flu over the weekend. i could hardly lift my head. when i could move around though i thought i would do a sketch.

First Post.

2009-04-09T15:20:00.000-07:00

Yay my first post ever =D I'm so excited! Ok, so i always start things out by saying my name, i'm Claire! Welcome to my new blog.

I believe fashion is important. For me it's a way to express myself and also be creative. If I'm not wearing the right thing during the day i don't feel very good about myself. I'm sure I'm not the only one. My family is always telling my how weird i dress. my mom said when i start high school everyone is gonna ask what world i came from! i want a second opinion. one of the reasons i wanted to start this blog =] Maybe i am weird. or maybe I'm just unique!

i don't really fallow other people. i like studds, ripped clothing, chains, black. stuff like that. but i also like color! Lately i have been getting interested in hippie and 60's clothing. i see a lot of stores like Forever 21 and H&M selling similar stuff.
I have many different sides to me. i love rock music and the clothing. Emo bands/Rock/alternative/. but i also like calming music like Jason Mraz, Fiona Apple and others. i also like some hip hop, and love to dance. so there are many sides to me and all of them come out in what i wear...
