HALLOWEEN!

Don't even get me started on how much I love Halloween. It could probably be my favorite Holiday. But knowing me, I will say that about Christmas, and Thanksgiving, and many other Holiday's too. I'm that way with seasons also. I love fall, but then I love winter, but then I love Summer! So basically, when the season is here, I will love it. Besides spring. I don't like spring.

Today's outfit was ZEBRA. I didn't really go all out i feel. This costume was a little inappropriate for school if I would've worn it how I wanted too, like I did this weekend. The little tu-tu dress came all white, I drew the zebra stripes and colored them. I think it turned out pretty well! Sawyer is Kermit the Frog. What a cutie :)

Okay, so my party was Saturday. I was expecting between 30-40 people. There ended up being over 50 people that showed. It was a really great time. It wasn't hard to pick up at all, because there was no alcohol. I am very happy about this. My parents told me I could have a party, but no alcohol. Now I don't drink, but obviously, I'm a Senior in high school, I do have friends that like to get a little crazy with alcohol. There were quite a few kids that are in college that came too, which I was pumped about because I love them and miss them all. Nobody tried to sneak alcohol in, nobody was mad because they couldn't have any. All in all, it was a great night. Best weekend this year for sure. Friday was fun, Saturday was fun, Sunday was fun, and tonight will be fun :)

These were some very creative costumes from my party!

I 

Also got to see my senior photo's on Sunday and pick out my proofs. This is the picture I'm using in the yearbook and the one I got to keep for now. More to come soon :)

Tell me what you think!

Day 36- fanc

We did not have school Friday, therefore Thursday was "Friday" this week. That also means I wasn't home Thursday night so I didn't have time this weekend to write in my blog for Thursday's outfit.

On this particular day I was feelin' fancy.

Today's outfit came from..

Jeans- Love Culture

Tank- American Eagle

Cover up- Charlotte Russe

Belt- Vanity

The jeans I really love, because they're high wasted. You can't really tell by this picture or this outfit because the cover up somewhat really did "cover up" my jeans today, haha. Pun intended ;) I'm not sure if that counts as a pun or not, but in my book it does. 

This weekend was one of my favorite weekends so far this year. It all had to deal with Halloween! As you know, my party was Saturday and it was a hit! I will tell you more about it in tomorrow's post on actual HALLOWEEN! I'm so pumped for tomorrow.

Day 35- Grand Rap

Today I didn't really go to school hardly at all. I had a dermatology apt at 8:15 am. After that, Mum, Soy Sauce, and I went over to Babies R Us. Sawyer started fussin, so we fed him in the parking lot, and then headed on in. Ol' Soy got himself some nice long sleeve onsies, and this diaper thing, and some other stuff I forget what it is. Next we headed over to Party City and spent a good hour looking for a costume for me. We got one! I'm a ZEBRA! I'm having a party Saturday and I'm really excited, It's gonna be crazzzzeee. I will probably talk about it often in these weeks posts.

Since I knew I wasn't going to school for a whole day (I went for the last half hour) I didn't want to waste a whole good outfit on it. So I didn't. Think what ya want, but today was not very Fashionably Unique :( Also, I forgot to take a picture before I left this morning, so I took one after powder puff practice.

Thanks for reading today's post :)

Also, I got a sweet tea this morning from McDonald's once again. It was DELICIOUS! sweet teas from there are either really good or really bad. No real in between. 2 days in a row they were great, lets hope tomorrow is the same :)

Day 34- little fairy.

Today I just felt like a fairy. It was definitely the frilly tank I had on that made me feel this way. If you don't remember, or don't read my blog often, I wore this tank top already but with a completely different outfit. On Day 11 I wore this tank top with a Green Sweater. Click that to see it.

Today's outfit came from..
Tank- Charlotte Russe
Cover Up- Buckle
Leggings- Vanity
Shoes- not positive, but probably Payless

Today was a pretty good day. I got a Frappe from Mcdon's yesterday and Monopoly won me a free breakfast sandwich! So I left SUPER early to make sure I'd get to school on time too. I went into Micky D's and asked for a Sausage McMuffin without egg. She said my Monopoly piece didn't count for that. So I asked what it did count for. She said Egg McMuffin, Sausage McMuffin with egg, and I stopped her and said ok ill have the Sausage McMuffin with egg. And I took off the egg? What was the point in that? I don't know. I also got a surprise Pizza Lunchable today after school from Spencer Palmer. I was very happy.

Day 33

I really liked my shirt today. It was somewhat of a shorter shirt. I wore the bedazzler jeans and my shirt had a cool lacey thing goin on on the back. For some reason, black must be my color on Monday's.

 Today's outfit came from..

Shirt- Hot Topic

Pants- Love Culture

Shoes- Buckle

Necklace- Buckle

Earrings- Buckle

I am honestly surprised I went into Hot Topic to go school shopping this year, and I think my mom was too. I am just not into their clothes i guess. But this shirt was very cute I thought! Yes, there is a cross on it but it's not screaming "I'M HARDCORE!". It's a pretty cross. Here's a back shot so you can see the lace.

I decided not to wear a tank top with this outfit. I did this because the shirt was short and you would've seen the color tank I wore under it, and the only color tanks I have are brown and black. Brown was a definite NO! and Black would've been okay, but then you wouldn't have been able to see the lace design so I just decided not to wear one. It was a weird feeling, let me tell ya!

Day 32- sittin on babies

Two summer's ago, I remember asking Nick Payne what he was doing one day and he said sittin' on babies. Of course at first I freaked then laughed because it meant he was babysitting. Isn't that funny? Well Friday I just threw my hair up with this look. I got told by my pal Stephen that the look was "culture". I was coo with it.

On this day I also had to baby sit Sawyer, which was why I titled this "sittin on babies". My mom wanted to get her hair done and wanted me to babysit during 3rd and 4th hour, so I missed those two hours which made my day go by fast.

That night was the last football game and it was very sad. I cried, I'm not gonna lie. Saturday I finally went to the Orchard!! I was so happy. I fed a goat!

Also Saturday I tried sushi for the first time and it was not very good. I also saw paranormal activity 3. I was so scared. It was a good movie, and pretty scary! We also saw a very scary movie trailer! CLICK THIS to see it!

Day 31- you want me

HAPPY 3 MONTHS SOY SAUCE! 

 

Okay so it's a little.. lets say conceited. The title of this. But that is what my shirt said today, so I thought it was an appropriate title for this blog.

Now I know I already wore these Yoga pants on Day 17. But I don't count this as the same outfit because I wore a different shirt. You can think what ya want tho, I don't mind!

I had an idea last night of how I was going to do my hair. And it turns out, I didn't end up doing what I wanted to with it. I was going to wear this white headband and rat the back of it and make it kind of poofy, with no part if that makes sense. Instead I just did my hair like so.

Today's outfit came from..
Shirt- Victoria's Secret
Yoga Pants- Victoria's Secret
Bracelet- Buckle
Shoes- Puma

Today I sold dance tickets at my lunch for the dance tomorrow after the last football game. I also found out today that there is no more "griding" at dances. Those of you who aren't too old know that grinding is all people really do at dances. 2 girls from different schools were dancing "too dirty" and I guess we are getting in trouble for it. I think it is BS, and so do plenty of other people at Lakewood. Rebellion is key ;) I'm just kidding, haha. But honestly, I hope they don't expect a lot of people to be at the dances in the near future. And that's my input.

Day 30

Today was a good day! Some things were not so good but it was over all a good day :)

In my picture, I don't know if you can tell from my smile, but I knew it was going to be a good day. The only downfall was probably 2nd hour, but that story I will not share with the world wide web. 

Today's outfit came from,

Shirt- Buckle

Leggings- Vanity

Shoes- Buckle

Belt- Buckle

Watch- Kohl's

Necklace- Sophia

And just now I realized I've been wearing a lot of Buckle things this week. And I wore those shoes two days in a row, but yesterday I did not know I would be wearing this outfit today and these shoes just match this outfit so well.

I also had an awesome necklace I hardly ever wear on today.

I pumped some Iron today and did abs with Monica and Spencer. That was nice. I also watched Paranormal Activity 1 and 2 and am going to see 3 this weekend and get Sushi. I am very excited because I have never eaten Sushi. Should be a good time I am excited for Saturday :)

Day 29

I don't really know what to put in the title's anymore without re-using other titles. Today was an OK day. As I said yesterday I had to work on my Asian Children Story. I stayed awake until 12:30 1am ish. I also woke up at 5:30am just to get the rest of it done, so all day today I was dead tired. But that didn't stop me from dressin nicely!

I also had to take a picture of the back of my outfit, because the back of my cover up was very cute and had nice detail.

Today's outfit came from..

Shirt, Cover up, Shoes: Buckle

Jeans: Forever 21

Day 28- 50's.

I guess you could say I was trying to bring 50's back with my outfit today. I really wanted an outfit I could wear this neck scarf with. It's very vintage and I love it! I had to have it when I found it with my mum.

My outfit today came from..

Shirt- Banana Republic
Skirt- Lucky Brand Store
Scarf- Vanity
Belt- JC Penny's.

Today was overall a good day. Not much exciting happened. I am writing a children's story, tho. It has to have diversity in it, and I kind of figured everyone would write about Hispanics, or African Americans. So I took a different route and chose to write mine about Asians. Hopefully I get a good score!

Today my wonderful mother brought me subway to work. SHOUT OUT to mumma Missy! She got to see my work and she brought Sawyer, but of course, he had to be asleep.

Day 27- Simply Unique

Yesterday was such a simple day, but I loved it. I really liked my outfit and surprisingly, I got a lot of compliments on it. Winter is coming, so scarves are in! I plan on adding to my scarf collection. The collection involves.. wait for it.. wait for it.. 2 scarves. Yeah I need to go shopping!

Also, a sight you will never see, my hair was straight and my bangs were down. Okay I shouldn't say a sight you will never see because obviously you just saw it. What I am trying to say is I don't usually wear my hair like this. But I might start more because a lot of people were complimenting me on it. 

Today I worked a "fun run" for the Fall Festival of Lake Odessa. I got to run with the kids not even a half mile, and take pictures of them. The store owners of So Simply wanted me to wear my Homecoming sash for Queen. We had Varsity Football Players, Softball Players, and Cross Country runners there working. Everyone wore their uniforms or a shirt that said their sport on it so the kids would look up to us. She had me wear my sash, and I also wore my soccer sweatshirt. All the profits from the run were donated to the Ronald MacDonald foundation. I was very proud to be apart of this! Did I mention Ronald himself came to join us in the run?

 

 I felt famous :)

Day 26- buckle buckle buckle girl

Today I felt like I worked at The Buckle. I didn't even wear that much buckle stuff but I still felt like it.

Jeans- Buckle

Shirt- Buckle

Shoes- DSW

Accessories- no idea

I don't think some of you realize how much I put into my outfits and hair, haha. I changed my hair this morning at least 5 times. I searched my closet for a good 10 minutes last night and didn't find anything. Then this morning I found this shirt from last year I had forgotten about! I like it when that happens. My jewelry I also have a hard time picking out. There's just so much to choose from and you really have to think about color schemes.

I forgot how much I liked this shirt. It's just very interesting.

Now for my day..

Ok so I left the house super duper early this morning at like 7:10. I was passing the high school around 7:14 and I thought I totally have time to make it to McDonald's. (McDonald's is about 1 mi from the HS). So the guy asks me what I would like. I said a Large Sweet Tea please. About 40 seconds go by and I still had gotten no reply. So I said it again. He apparently did not hear me. So I pulled up, and handed the nice man my $1.06 and was behind a truck. I sat there for a good 5-7 minutes for this guy. Now I was getting pissed to say the least. So finally I get up to the window (now it was 7:22ish). I see my sweet tea in the window. A lady comes up to the window just scowling at me making an Ice Mocha. Then she walks away. Another guy comes up and gets a drink, smiles at me, and walks away. 7:24 by this time. Seriously, hand me my fricken tea!! So a different guy comes to the window getting another bag ready, smiles and walks away. (Meanwhile the girl was scowling at me the whole time). The same guy from earlier comes back and finally I say, "can you just hand me my sweet tea?". I got my sweet tea, and was on my way. I ended up being 2 minutes late to class, when I had a good 15 minutes to drive a mile, buy one thing and make it back.

Day 25- ups and downs

Today was somewhat chaotic! Started off with school, obviously. The past two days when I am almost to the school I decide okay I have enough time to go to McDonald's for their infamous sweet teas. Yesterday I cut it close and barely made it to my class on time. Today's was slightly different. I happened to be a tad late. But hey, at least I got to enjoy my freshly brewed tea. 

After school I pumped some iron. Notice the word "some". After that I went to the local Supermarket and then went to go get a receipt from my grandma's house (that of which I did not end up finding). Finally around 4:30 I made it home. I was kind of in a rush because my mum said there was a letter from GVSU! I rip open the letter only to find that it said they received my application? What the heck! OK I was kind of figuring you'd receive it, now I want some answers! After that I had to run into Lansing which is probably a 35 min drive from my house. I had to go to Best Buy to return the iHome I got for my birthday. I was almost into Grand Ledge when I realized, hmm I forgot to bring the iHome. Seriously lexa, come on. So Since I was already 25min past my house I decided to go an extra 5 minutes to get Arby's. I ate by myself in a corner table. Unlike Day 5, I didn't plan on eating by myself. 

I finished off my night by going to the Lakewood Youth Fellowship up at the High School from about 6:30-9:30. There was a sweet band, We Are Leo, and A great magician and rapper, Gorge! It was a great night and I got to go on stage at the end and hold up a sign! Sweet concert! On the plus side, Danica and I got to go in the back dressing room to interview We Are Leo and Gorge! We ended up stayin back there for a good 20 minutes and just talkin to them. It was very cool! Sorry today wasn't really about my outfit, but my day was more important! As you can see, today had its ups and downs! But for me, more ups :)

Day 24- brown bear brown bear.

I'm sure you are wondering as to why I titled this brown bear brown bear, and if you weren't well I'm going to tell you anyways! Well for starters I wore brown today. But right now in my Creative Writing class, we have to write a children's story. Everyone in the class was supposed to bring in a children's story to share. I chose Where the wild things are, because that is probably one of my all time favorite books. One girl brought in Brown Bear Brown Bear. You know, Brown bear brown bear. What do you see? I see a red bird lookin at me! Yes that one. So for some odd reason I decided to name this blog brown bear brown bear.

I really liked my hair today! I did the french braids again (where i shower the night before and put 4 french braids in my hair and sleep on it). And so because I liked it so much, I decided to take a close up of the face :).

Nothing that extravagant happened today that I can think of. I went to school, had a student council meeting, went to work and came home. On the plus side I am starting to study my note cards for next week's test. GO ME! Right?

Day 22- jeans and a black T

The start of my day was waking up at 7:15am. School starts at 7:30 for those of you who don't know. So I got ready in 5 min and went to school.

Now those of you that just believed what I said, you are now the most gullible people I know. :) What can I say, I'm a trickster. I did not get ready in 5 minutes, I got ready in about an hr. I ended up "skipping" 1st hour and went in during 2nd. Today was a very plain day. Plain Jane. I decided to spice it up a bit with the red shoes you have already seen (that is, if you are a true follower), and A nice classy necklace and bracelet.

Sawyer was awake this morning because I was late. So here's a cute pic of us together.

Also, last night Sawyer had a little photo shoot. I took the cutest picture EVER of him. Thought you'd like to see :)

He looks odd but I think its cute!

Day 22- Lakewood, Homecoming, Queen :)

YAYYYYEAAY YEAAAAH! Sorry about my excitement! I'm just so happy I don't even think I have stopped smiling yet! This blog will be kind of long just a fore warning. For the start of Friday, the spirit week day was Lakewood. I stayed at my friend Kelsey's house so she could braid my hair. Not just two braids, but about 34..

I received so many comments on my hair! I got to get out of school around 12 because I had to get the gym ready for the PEP ASSEMBLY! Our President was gone, so we were really kind of jumbled. Finally he showed up (he had tennis states in Portland) and everything was back to normal! Today we also voted for Homecoming Court. During the Pep Assembly, They called the court up to the front of our student body and we got introduced. Everyone waved and I got called last and I did a leg kick haha. I thought it was really funny.

Last night was the big night as you all know. I started out my night by rushing to the football field with Kelsey, Destiny, Shealin, and Aisha! I didn't get to wear my dress to the game because I was in the Homecoming skit! The skit went great and we won! It was pretty funny too! I'll share a video of it later on next week :) Then right after I was done with the skit I quickly changed into my dress, in the bathrooms at Unity Field. For those of you that know what Unity Field bathrooms are like, they're disgusting. All I can say is I've got dedication to my class, and I'll do anything even if I have to change in a nasty bathroom, haha.

All of the court members walked allllllllll the way across the football field at halftime. That was quite a jog, especially in heels. The handsome young man I was walking with happens to be a football player, so he was very sweaty. Very very sweaty. Also that means I did not get to sit with him on the field. After the football game is when they announced the winners. They announced King first, and it was Mr. Nicky Payne! Instantly when he got called I was very happy for him, but then he left my side to go receive his things and I was by myself. Yes, I was nervous. Then the principal announced Alexa Stanton. Instantly I threw my arms up to the crowd. There's a wonderful picture of it, click this to see it.

I got wonderful pictures with all my friends and family after the game. If you have me on facebook, you may have seen that my status said "has never felt so loved". This was because a friend of mine, Spencer Palmer made a sign for me that said WE <3 ALEXA. When I saw this sign as I was getting ready for the float skit I was very excited! When I walked out he held it up high and proud and I went over there and realized he brought markers and had the whole student section sign it. Also a lot of my family from Detroit came to watch! And other family members and I just want to say thank you to everyone!

Last night was the big Homecoming Dance. Best dance eva! Nick and I did our big king and queen royalty dance, haha. We danced to the song Without you by Chris Brown. We slow danced then busted out the fist pump when It got fast. I think we blew some peoples minds, they didn't know how to react! Haha. Hayden Ack Attack was the DJ and he did an amazing job. My date was Erik Musbach :). Dinner was great, the dance was great.

This past week has been one of the best weeks of my life. Maybe even the best week. My birthday was the best and I am very thankful for everyone that took part in it! Also for everyone that signed that poster. I love you all!

Day 20- halloween

Today was theme day. Halloween happens to be the theme of our float this year! Juniors were Christmas, Sophomores were Thanksgiving, and Freshman were Valentines Day. We chose Halloween because it's October and almost Halloween time!! :)

My super spidey senses sure were tinglin' today! There were some very creative costumes today I must say!  During my 3rd hour our Recreation class went to Goldstar Outdoors to shoot bows. It was.. shall we say, semi productive.

 My pal Abu Bakar and I.

My pals Brynn and Shannon!

I ordered McDonald's in my Spidey Costume :)

I don't know if you have realized yet or not, but these posts this week will mainly contain pictures that I have taken throughout the day. I sold Homecoming tickets today during lunch. I'M SO EXCITED FOR HOMECOMING! All of it! I am in the skit for the float as well might I add. Friday and Saturday will be full days for this fashionably unique girl.

Day 19- 80's fitness/ birthday

Whoop Whoop! This fashionably unique girl is 17:). Being 17 also means I can drive past 10pm, and with more than one person in the car, and.. well that's it, haha but I'm still PUMPED! Today was also 80's fitness! My oh my were there some crazy outfits today. A lot of people went to Goodwill, Walmart, their closet, etc, for their clothes. But me on the other hand, had my mum go to my grandma's because she used to work up at the gym. Then she hit the mother load. There were approximately 10 leotards, 10 pairs of leg warmers, and 10 leggings. So the outfit I wore today, was legitimately from the 80's. every single part of it (besides the shoes)!

Like I said, today was my birthday! I started it off by going to my friend, Aisha's house and I brought her some of my "mother load" of 80's fitness apparel. We took some pretty funny pictures this morning. 

As I walked into school, my friend Danica gave me a little bag. In the bag was a pink watch I wanted from a gift shop in our town:) It's pink! Thanks to Danica, Derrica and Jude! It's a pretty good feeling people telling you Happy Birthday in the halls :) It just makes ya feel important! Today we had a meeting for our homecoming court! I'm really excited to get ready with Courtney and Destiny (they're also on court!) at my house before the game! 

At lunch my friend Nick gave me a MSU zip up hoodie and I was ecstatic:) My other friend Spencer made me cookies! Well his mom made me cookies but it was his idea, haha. My pal Kelso colored me a picture! My homecoming date Erik Musbach bought me candy at lunch (good improv). I had to work today until 7 and a lady came in with half a dozen roses for me from my baby bro, Soy Sauce! How cute is he? I had a Birthday Pie tonight and my parents got me a Nook! I'm so excited about it! So I'd like to thank all the people I mentioned for my gifts:) It's greatly appreciated! Also thanks to my Grandma Jill, Grandpa Randy, Grandpa Al, Grandma Diane and Grandma Judy,  for the money I received :) 

Now I will just share a couple photos from my day ..

Thanks for reading today's post:)
