Traveling by BeautifullyPure featuring graphic tees


I so totally want this outfit. I am in love with every big of it - from the hundred dollar bag to the five hundred dollar skirt, to the three hundred dollar shoes. Hmm... I may have to settle for the twenty dollar tee shirt. :D

Autumn Showers and a Standstill

This week I have been fluctuating between tremendously happy, very depressed, and extremely stressed. Only one of these moods is good for fashion - but when one's room is in complete disarray and it is hard to get to one's closet mood matters little. Fashion, is at a standstill for the time being - for the most part. I do have a dress I am hoping to alter this week end. ;-D

In the mean time please enjoy this pictures I snapped earlier this week after one of the first autumn showers:

Target Wanderings

Today my mom took my little sisters to Target to look at Halloween costumes. I tagged along to look at clothes. I could seriously spend $1,000,000 at Target... *sighs dreamily*

I had so much fun looking around and trying on every shoe that caught my eye. ;-D

Here are some of the gems I found:

Peep toed ankle boots that seriously remind me of Demi Lovato

Adorable heeled oxfords. I have long wanted a pair of red shoes (comes from watching What Not To Wear) but I could never find the right pair. I think I just did... either that or another awesome pair of black shoes. :D (Sorry for the bad quality, I felt odd taking pictures in the store - not enough to stop, but enough to forgo quality for speed. :D I'm sure I'll get used to it - eventually...)

The Casio Exilim EX-S8 Digital Camera. I want this camera - badly. I'm going to ask for it for Christmas. I had so much fun playing around with it at the store (for the third time) and it seems like it can do everything I need it to do. With this camera I could - dare I say it - make make up tutorials for YouTube. :D



Pretty pendants. <3>

I really want to start wearing more scarves this autumn/winter. I love the purple floral one in the foreground.

Lovely big black ring.

This ring looks like a bow. It is gold. It is adjustable (for people with big fingers - like me), and it is nickle free. It also has my name written all over it. When you have contact dermatitis (which is a fancy way of saying "allergic to nickle") "nickle free" becomes two of your favorite words when applied to jewelry. :D

I love headbands.

Can't decide which pair of boots I like more. I think I need to keep looking for that perfect pair... :-/

I think these would look better with Capri pants, shorts or a dress/skirt than skinny jeans - but maybe my jeans were just too short. It's hard for me to find jeans that are actually long enough for me... >.< I also want to start wearing more hats this autumn/winter. I love floppy crochet hats with my newly-curly hair.


I bet you didn't know Iron Man is a cross dresser, huh? :D Sorry, I couldn't resist. My big sis got me hooked on those movies. I can't wait till the second one comes out on DVD on the 28th!!

In this outfit I was going for a look similar to Demi Lovato's in her music video, La La Land. What do you think of it?

Beautifully Fearless

I've been wanting to post about this for a while, but I've been especially motivated to the past day or so.

My life is not perfect - far from it. There is a lot in my life I desperately wish I could change. Most of my life I've felt isolated and completely alone. Even after I became a Christian. I still refused to ask for help in the hardest areas of my life - even from my Heavenly Father. Instead I blamed other people for the sorrows in my life and played the helpless victim. I acted up to get attention. The ways were different, but the reasons were the same. I thought I had to be strong - not let anyone see how broken I was inside.


December, 2009 - when I was into darker things (dark, for me).

Last winter, however, something happened. I was so exhausted from always keeping everything pent up I finally broke down and briefly told my two best friends about my problems. A couple days later I really broke down and, tired and crying I opened up and told my newly-acquired big sister everything. I learned something, too - she had the same problems.


June, 2009 - my extreme vintage/dressy phase

I also realized that I don't have to go through this by myself. I have someone who understands me, and wants to help me, and my Heavenly Father who will take care of me. I'm not alone.

That realization helped me a ton. I realized that parts of my life suck, and even though it isn't from anything I did, I can't change it. But I can change my attitude. I can stop blaming others, stop pouting and accept it for what it is. I can also pray about my faults and work on them so I won't make the same mistakes I've seen others make.


June, 2010 - Me now

All of this has given me a new confidence. I am myself. I'm no longer afraid to be myself. If you don't like me as I am then that's too bad, because God has made me special, and He has a plan for me, and I'm not changing for any earthly person.


"Fearless" June, 2010 - Me now

So, for those of you who may be thinking "Wow! Katie certainly has changed a lot this past year!" I havn't - not really. My attitude has changed, but the rest is just me growing up, learning not to pout and be a drama queen, and finally having the courage to by myself.

I'm beautifully me, and beautifully fearless. <3

My New Project

The good news about having so much free time after school is that it leaves me time for projects. Here is my new one:


And this:

(Before)


(After)

I've been wanting to do something with my room for years, but I really began to want something new earlier this year when my "I want everything to look like it came right out of a time machine from 100+ years ago!" phase came to a screeching halt. So this is really nice. :D I am totally in love with the purple color and I cannot wait to get more paint and finish the room! (We only bought a half a pint trial size first to see if I liked the color.)












And yes, I did have fun with my camera. :D

School

School started this past Tuesday - all except math that is, since that hasn't arrived yet. (Yay!! :D)

So far school is very easy. I've already finished my only prose literature book ahead of schedule, and usually got done before lunch. It is - interesting. The past few years my school was VERY challenging, so this is new for me...

The good news is that this leaves time for new protects - which I shall post about later this week (maybe tomorrow). Until then I shall leave you with some pictures I got during a break Monday morning. It was cool and crisp outside - the coolest it'd been in weeks - and it totally felt like fall. I couldn't resist getting a shot or two - or three or more. :D

(I went with a rather simple outfit since I figured I'd be working all day)

Dressing Room Pics

Here are a couple of shots I got in the dressing room of Charlotte Russe while shopping with my big sis:


(Sorry for the bad quality - the lighting was really bad :-P)

The leather jacket in the second pic is from WetSeal - I bought it before going to Charlotte Russe. I really loved it with that dress, but, unfortunately, the dress was way too short. Oh well! I'll get my bubble skirt dress someday! ;-D
