Summer Break is almost here!

After a long year of ups and downs, school ends on Friday. I only have one exam to go, it's in history and I am fairly confident about it. After my exam, I am having a photo shoot with my friend. I am the model, so you know, no pressure. Thursday there is no school, and Friday is a half day. It seems so unreal for the school year to be over so fast. This year was definitely a challenging one, but I learned lot about myself.

I will be working at the American Embassy here in Bangkok in June. In July I am setting off to America, Virginia and Kansas to be specific. I am going to stay with my dad for the majority of the month, then I am going to Kansas to visit the rest of my family.

If you still have exams, Good Luck!


What will you be doing this summer?

Lucy Hale

Lucy Hale was on the cover of Seventeen Magazine, for the June/ July 2011 issue. Lucy stars in one of my favorite shows Pretty Little Liars, so I was excited to see her on the cover. She seems very down to earth and nice. She is definitely one of my favorite young actresses. I really liked her spread. It was bright, fun and full of energy; all of the things I love. These are my favorite photos:

Prom 2011

I am the one in the right.

Dinner at Los Cabos

Full view of my dress

Two weekends ago I had my Prom.  The dress I wore was from Betsey Johnson. It was originally $475, but I bought it on sale for $125.! I was definitely one of the only one's in actual Prom attire. I got my nails done in the morning for only 6 dollars, that's for a mani and pedi. Then I started getting ready two hours before we had to go to dinner. I went to a friends house for pictures, then everyone headed down to a Mexican restaurant for dinner. Our Prom was Hollywood theme so there were photographers an the "red carpet" when we arrived. Prom is a lot smaller here, but it was still fun.

Have you been to Prom? Tell me your stories!

Pirates of the Caribbean

I took a short break. I am back I was sad because no one was commenting on my blog  or following me. I now know that it doesn't matter, I am doing this for me.

Last Friday I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides. I enjoyed the movie overall. It was much better than the third movie, which in my opinion was too complex and confusing.  It was refreshing to see a new and interesting storyline, on the other hand I still felt that there were too many subplots. The simpler the plot, the better these movies are. I am sure they will make a fifth  pirates movie, so I hope they keep that in mind.

Astrid Berges-Frisbey

Sam Claflin

Penelope Cruz

Some new characters that were introduced and will most likely be in subsequent movies are Angelica (played by Penelope Cruz), Syrena (played by Astrid Berges- Frisbey), and Philip (played by Sam Claflin). I liked the new actors I thought they brought a freshness to a franchise that was getting a little stale. If you are on the fence about seeing this movie I would definitely say yes.

Prom Fashion with Teen Vogue

 I enjoy reading Teen Vogue. It usually has youthful fashion and interesting articles. I like many other girls getting ready for Prom (mine's this weekend) look at fashion magazines for advice. Teen Vogue's latest issue has a spread that centers around prom style, as well as a few other dress options (shown below). While I would be happy owning any of these looks, I also think that the looks in the spread are not very prom-y or youthful. The only one that looks like it would fit in at Prom is the red lace ISSA dress, minus the hair.
