My school started yesterday, which happened to be my sister's birthday so I had no time in between getting ready for both of those events. It's the weekend (yay!!), so hopefully, I can squeeze in a bit of posting! I have a book report to do (already!!), so I'm a little busy with that. I will try to get posts in during the week if I can spare enough time, and almost definitely the weekends and Fridays. Have an awesome school year everyone!<br /><br />And...<br /><br />I want to know what you all wore to your day back...feel free to post the details of your outfit =]<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">p.s.

His pop-art illustrations consisted of simple things such as a bottle of Coke, Campell's Soup cans, or a banana. He is also famous for paintings of then-modern-day icons Marilyn Monroe and Liz Taylor. Here are examples of his magnificent work:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.martinlawrence.com/warhol/marilyn23_large.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.martinlawrence.com/warhol/marilyn23_large.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><br />"Marilyn #23" (screenprint)</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.martinlawrence.com/warhol/life_savers_353.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.martinlawrence.com/warhol/life_savers_353.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"Life Savers" (screenprint)</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.poster.net/warhol-andy/warhol-andy-100-campbells-dosen-2602634.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://www.poster.net/warhol-andy/warhol-andy-100-campbells-dosen-2602634.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32239528-115741196774286102?l=opulentlavender.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>OpuLavhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09417838172804846076noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32239528.post-1157334146140451142006-09-03T18:34:00.000-07:002006-09-03T18:42:26.370-07:00Since my school year starts this Thursday (to my dismay), I got to do a little bit of back-to-school shopping (which cheered me up)! I started off in <span style="font-weight: bold;">Gadzooks </span>(a branch off of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Forever 21</span>) and bought an oval clip hair accessory, two thermals, and a pair of tailored shorts. Then I headed over to <span style="font-weight: bold;">Abercrombie and Fitch</span> where I purchased a bright, dark blue polo top. I then made my way over to <span style="font-weight: bold;">American Eagle Outfitters</span>, and purchased a pair of jeans (they have amazing jeans, that fit your look, body, <span style="font-style: italic;">and</span> budget!) and a cropped knit jacket by their new line <span style="font-weight: bold;">"aerie"</span>. My next stop was <span style="font-weight: bold;">Hollister</span>, where I picked up a cami and jacket. My last stop was <span style="font-weight: bold;">PacSun</span>, where I snagged a belt, a pair of cute sweats, and a tunic-type top.<br /><br />Next stop: <span style="font-weight: bold;">H&amp;M</span> !!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32239528-115733414614045114?l=opulentlavender.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>OpuLavhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09417838172804846076noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32239528.post-1157076367559251412006-08-31T18:58:00.000-07:002006-08-31T19:19:43.843-07:00Okay, we can all probably admit to owning one (or two or three...) pairs of chic ballet flats.
