Oh Happy Day :)

Just. Look. At. That. Face.

How could anybody, ANYBODY, ever say no to that face?

Yeahh.. I am SUCH a sucker for my dog...I mean...those EYES and the perky little ears...

AW!!

Cool people can wear pirate patches...and totally pull it off!!! :)

And these faces...PRICELESS :P (P.S. Only a place like Sir Gooney's has pirate patches.)

So. Onto the story of the day :)

Well as most of you know, I am on summer vacation (out of school) and today has been fabulous. Sometimes I moan about being homeschooled, and how people give you weird looks when you tell them, and how you can't really be on sports teams, or miss out on stuff like seeing your friends every single day.

But really, when I think about it, I'm super lucky. I have so much freedom, and although I don't want to stereotype or generalize, I have typically found that homeschoolers ten to be more down to earth then most public schoolers I know. Of course, there are exceptions to rule, like my amazing friend Kristina, but most of the time, I hav found the above to be true.

Especially the guys. I dunno what it is, but the guys they are so nice and smart and SENSIBLE. Sensible sounds weird, but compared to most teenage guys I know,they are just really down to earth and smart. They don't take stupid risks, or brag about themselves, or talk about basketball all the time, or heaven forbid, talk about hot girls.

I can actually carry on a innteligent conversation with them, and they are so mature and it's just so refreshing!! Sorry about the slight rant...but i just get so tired sometimes of stupid guys. Their rude, and there totally self absorbed. It's so nice to be able to have guys as friends that you can actually TALK with, not just roll your eyes at.

OH WELL!!! LOL!!!

Well I can't wait till tomorrow...I'm going swimming!!

Loooove,

Victoria

Everybody's Dancin Dancin Crazy....

Hey girlios!! Yeah yeah I know, not a real word, but heyyy...it's called a poetic liscense and I use it ALOT :) My life has been full of randomness, summer, swimming, just general stuff :)
I have had kind of a decision\revalationtype of thannngg... :)

SO. TEH REVELATION.

(btw, I have been replacing the with 'teh' lately...no it's not a mispelling..it's pronounced how it's spelled and it's totally *awesome*)

Okay....back to business.

I have decided to learn how to be more...feminine?

I'm not sure what to call it.

But for pretty much all my life, I've been kind of a tomboy. You know, the whole barefooted, runnig around in the woods, made stuff out of mud, kind of deal.

In a way...I'm still like that. And sometimes..since i'm about to turn fourteen, it's kind of embarassing. I'm tired of never knowing what to wear (or ever really HAVING anything to wear) or what the heck to do with my hair, my face...just everything.

I'm going to be in highschool this coming year, im growing up..it's time to start looking like it!

*major shopping trip is predicted*

Hopefully tomorrow!!

And I have my cheeta eyes set on these leeeeetle prizes...

*hemhem* Cardigans from Old Navy

And dresses...gosh I need these so bad!! With summer comin and all..actually down here..summer is already here starting tomorrow!!

Aw :)

And SKIRTS...I have like no skirts.

And pretty much anything from American Eagle is totally amazing..

Sooo pretty :)

Plus, a shirt like this which will go with anything...ties the whole outfit together.

I don't know..I feel like my outfits are so random...I have bits and pieces from everywhere, but nothing that really goes together. I have a bunch of jeans..but I'm sick of wearing them.

My goal is to get a bunch of pieces that work together..more plannin my outfits then just randomly buying what I like then coming home and realizing it doesn't go with anything!

I love these options from Tilly's too :)

I also find myself buying the same thing over and over again..same colors, same cuts, same prints...I'm daring myself to go bold!

Like this bright red number..

Or this fun loose cut that I hardly ever wear...

(My..I do like Wet Seal!!)

Plus, I hardly have any of those little things that tie outfits together like tights...

and this cute little owl necklace...

Awww and rainbows too!! Haha

And of course..shoes... I just love these from Kohls'!!

And these sooo cute!

And these sneakers are awesome too!

And these are just beyond awesomely cool :)

Sorry that's alot of clothes to show you guys..I'm just really excited.

It feels like I'm turnin a new leaf, and it's a good leaf. I'm tired of being casual, and of not knowing how to dress the best I can. With a bit of shopping, and help with the ever handy Seventeen magazine.. (note: I am not supporting the magazines morals, which aren't great, but simply saying they have great style advice)

I'm going to change into a diva, don't worry...just a more polished, feminine version of me, and one I am very excited to get started on.

So that's my revelation!! Stay tuned for outfit pics after I go shopping!

Love,

Victoria :)

Tralalaaa Anniversary!! :)

Guess what guys? It's my 336th post!!! I knew this excited occasion had to be celebrated with some lovely pictures and joy to all!!
Yes. I am hyper and happy.
Why you ask? Why oh mistress of crazy straight hair and a fondness of oatmeal raisen cookies, why are you happy and hyper?
BECAUSE:
I finally had something pretty to take pictures of yesterday:

I love the lighting on this. And it is pretty isn't it? *sigh* I love being able to post pictures again
Have an AWWWESOME rest of the week!!

The World Is Just Purple :)

Hey girls!!
First of all..how do you like my blog design?? I love it sooo much, I love how it turned out!!I wanted a spring feel...and yes, it is only Febuary, but in Georgia,that means spring is almost here, and it usally explodes into bloom in March!! I really can't wait for it too get here, for the flowers to peep out and the grass to turn green, and all the leaves to come out fresh and brilliantly green.
Second of all...I am RATHER excited because last night I got the idea to do a fashion post about proms!! :P Fun, huh? So all sorts of promy things have been swirling around in my noggin...with the dresses and everything.
The reason for th title? I had pictures all planned out with purple prom dresses..but blogger still won't let me post pictures!! I mean I will upload them and then when it gets on the page it will just show the html code of the pictures!! ANyone know what's up with that? Well I will just tell you about proms....first of all I am not old enough for a prom..but some of my followers are that's why I am doing this!!

While it was a cute dress and EXTREMELY cheap (20 bucks from Ross)it was kind of clingy and had a tendincey to ride up...to much leg showin while your on the dance floor!! Besides black is a bit dull, though classy, and you need something more cheerful this year.
Although I probably wouldn't go for a strapless dress myself.

I love a certain shade of purple (I would show you but I can't!!) I think a satin dress would look pretty.

If I wore a long dress...it can't be too full, because proms are always full of swing dancing and the like, so there's alot of moving and not too much room for huge skirts.

If I wore one mine would probably be like this, bright purple, shorter, satiny,and pretty plain, I don't like the dresses with alot of tulle or sequins and stiching all over the place.

Some of these dresses that I had pictures of were found at promgirl.com

So...you guys may have heard more about prom dresses then you wanted too in this post..but I was excited to do this :)
I would tell about hair but oh well...I can't post pictures!!

Do you know I have never dyed my hair? The only thing I have done is highlights!! Always been scared it would turn out horrible if I dyed my hair...isn't that silly?
Haha, anyways I will be staying my natural blonde self for the time being.
Anyways, I am popping the prom dream bubble so you guys don't get bored...moving on to real life!
I'm also super excited cause this weekend I am going to Cades Cove in Tennesee :)
It's a really beautiful place..there is bear and deer also there is elk!! :)

FACE UPDATE: Lookin pretty good, have picked a tiny bit, and was immediately irritated. So that's my mind in a nutshell...prom and Cades Cove! Fun, huh?
Have an awesome rest of the week!
Love,
Victoria

Eep :) Sunny Days

So I realize I totally missed that essential Valentine's Day post. You know the one, where every blogger on here writes about love and the special meaning it has, and how lucky they are to be loved, or how they are waiting for their Prince Charming...yeah, that one.
I must confess, I totally forgot to write a post on Valentine's Day. Not very feminine of me, I know, but my whole family has been busy, so we haven't really felt like celebrating...or eating tons of chocolate, as sad that is to say.
Besides, Valentines has never been that important to me anyway...and that's not just because I don't have a boyfriend.
All the red and white and lace and teddy bears have never really struck a chord with me. I like holidays like CHristmas alot better, because they are so much more meaningful.
Valentine's Day, with it's chocolate, little puppies on cheap cards, that box of chocolates, and the slightly nauseating dyed pink carnations never meant that much to me.
Okay, maybe I'm missing the "deeper meaning"--I mean it's a whole holiday to celebrate love! Even that doesn't move me. Why should there be a special holiday for love? We should be showing our love for each other everyday, not just on Febuary 14but I know alot of people like it and find it really special and meaningful...I just don't, really, and that's just me;)

Of course I have more to talk aout other then just simply venting about the uselesness about Valentine's Day, don't I?
Of course I do. I'm sure I had a topic all planned out...I must have simply lost it outside because that's where I have been all day.
You would not believe what I am wearing right now. Short tank top dress. Leggings. T-shirt. In Febuary.
It's totally awesome, totally warm, and i am totally getting a head start on tanning :)
I mean, life has been pretty sweet so far, just doing school, and being outside...it's just been normal life, well as normal as life with me can ever be :)
And I really do love my life. Sometimes I complain, but really, what do i have to complain about? I have an awesome family with amazing parents, amazingly supporitive and hilarious friends, both guys and girls....that is a recipe for one very happy Victoria.
Since I don't have a huge amount of drama in my life to write inspiring novels about...or pictures to dazzle you with...I shall sweeten your ears with music. Enjoy!! :)

Wind Whispers the Past

Hey girls...sorry it's been a few days since the last post...school and all takes a bit out of you, so i thought a vaction was in order :)
The reason for the title? The fact that lately I have been longing for ten.Maybe eleven. One of those wonderful ages where the whole world is open to your imagination, and nothing is s wonderful to go outside and make up stories. I would literally go out to the woods and my playhouse (which is now a hang-out area.) and play ANYTHING. Indians, Egyptians and Hebrews, Pioneers, runaway slaves, orphans who were cast away by their relatives...anything I could make a story out of, I did. My bike was a horse, and I could make a doll out of thick grass, bricks from mud, and a hideaway fort.
Those were the days when i did not feel the crushing burden of selfconsciousness which drops it's self on every teenager, I simply lived.
I do not wish to go back to the ignorance I had back then, I do beleive I am alot wiser now..just innosense and imagination.
I do miss it.
The days where the woods were my only refuge...
The feilds were my second home...
My dreams higher then trees...
I was free...
Can't say I'm sad....
Doesn't mean i can't miss it...
The way things were before...
:) That's the story.
Now I shall go look at other blogs.
Hope you girls have a awesome Monday, have a awesome week!!! :)

Love,
ictoria

My happy collage of happiness :P

I'm sorry I did have pictures to upload..but Blogger won't let me upload them!!! It was a collage of things that make me happy :) It was so much fun making it at www.photovisi.com you should definately go there and make one of your own...about any topic really. SO I will jus tell you what makes me happy:

Strawberries....I could literally eat those things all day. My Mom has to make me stop eating it. I am SO not joking...I love that stuff more then any person ever should.

Esthetician....Ahh I am so excited!!! :)

Then of course, My Mom's camera, My dog, Me making my "obese face"...I had "anorexic face" too...but I deleted it by mistake!! Mann I have fun!! :)
Anyways, those are some of the things that make me super happy...in collage form!!
*awesome*

The only drawback of doing alot of posts is after a while...you run out of news about yourself. Nothing really new, just doing the same old stuff and having a pretty good Monday, had a great church service last night, so that made me happy. :)
Enjoy your week girlies!
Love,
Victoria

Oh the little sparklies in life :)

Hey girlies!
First of all..thank you so much for the response to my last post..you guys have no idea how much that encouraged me :) I know I shouldn't be looking to other people's approval and affirmation for my self-esteem, or to decided what I should and shouldn't do, but sometimes it really helps to get a little pick-me-up, and you girls did a beautiful job at that so thank you!!
So. My sparklies today? (What is a sparklie you may ask? Something that makes your day a little more twinkly and happy of course!!)
So. Twinkly sparkly thing number one?
The fact that I am goign to get a new phone!!! *hallelujah*

Second Sparkly:
My friends, and my future special somebody :) That's enough to make me sparkle EVERY day!!!

Something I could ask your prayer for?
My prayer life. It is ironic, but lately I find myself drifting farther and farther away, and it's scaring me. I don't want to become one of those materilistic christian-in-name only people. I want to be DEEP in the Lord, on fire for God. And right now, I'm kind of well you know....anyways, I need prayer for that girls...it's been hard.


Have an AMAZZZZING weekend!!
All my love and GOd's Blessings,
Victoria

The Camera Clicks and I Smile :)

Well first may I say.....I will not be able to take any pictures probably until Christmas. The reason is cause my Dad has a new job....and he took my Mom's camera with him so I smile cause I know he will take care of the camera. :) So just bear with me until then.

This weekend has been super hard, but I am glad to say I have bounced back, and pretty much everything is back to normal!! Sorry, today will be super short post, but I have other things to do!!
Adios girlies!!
Victoria :)
