omg, it’s sara/iomoo–she still posts? what? how? when!?
after being awol on my wordpress i am finally back! or so i think i am.
before i explain to you about my awolness, if you ever miss me then just follow me on twitter and tumblr–i post there much more often!
i am now a junior at my high school, and i just finished homecoming at my school as junior class president, which as you can infer is a very stressful and time consuming job. regardless it has all been great so far, just veryyyyy stressful, hence no blog posts :(
i finally have been able to take photos of myself after not taking any almost all summer. i was so busy photographing other people for my portfolio, which i will be posting more pics of soon! meanwhile, check out my facebook page, and like it! :D
here is my costume for halloween a few days ago–i was tunasushi, inspired by miranda cosgrove the episode of icarly called ihalfoween! some people didn’t really know what i was but when they figure it out, they liked it :)
the headband is ginger, scarf is seaweed, pillow is tuna, and white clothing is rice!
i really want to revamp my blog and make it more photography/fashion oriented; right now i feel like there is no point to it and most of my photos don’t reflect my actual skills at photography.
right now i’m taking an advance photo class at academy of the arts, san francisco. this is my shoot from chinatown; we were supposed to pick 6 best photos, but here are 9. these were from my beginner class (i transferred into advanced after 2 classes)
i’ll have a big update about everything soon–good news but mostly bad :(
i forgot to put my stupid watermark on these, please don’t use them without permission and all that shit. i worked really hard on them.
so like the title, i guess i should apologize or make up an excuse for not blogging….
but being the 16 year old emotional girl that i am, i’m just going to say that things have been stressssssful! :/
and blogging has not become one of my top priorities i guess.
really important: i was invited to prom, but unfortunately when i went, something happened to my camera and the lens is now broken and doesn’t auto-focus, so some a lot of my photos have come out blurry and crappy :/ i’m gonna get it fixed asap! i just figured i should let you all know!
but on top of all the shitty things, two great things have come up!
1) i am now my class’s president for junior year next year! wooo!
2) i got an iphone! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!
3) even though i said 2 great things, a third great thing is:
you can follow me on instagram!
do it! just look for iomoo :) OR go to webstagram or followgram, log in, and follow me there! woot! i really think you should follow me. do it. now. come on. plz. c:
♣ ♥ ♦ ♠ ♣ ♥ ♦ ♠
so yeah. anyway i have purchased a ton of cute things recently that i felt like sharing, since that’s what i do when i feel forced to make a post to remind you i haven’t died yet! haha. they’re all non-modelled by me, since i look like shit and am not really in the mood to take pictures of myself [that's a first; jk]
this dress is what i wore on my 16th birthday. i am mad in love with it and i think it is the most beautiful thing ever!!
it’s from anthropologie. i don’t know. i just love it C: i also used the photo of me wearing it [from my 16th birthday] as my campaign picture when i ran for president! :D
i bought this amazing striped frost colored splendid henley online back in…january or february? it’s super soft!! it’s kind of long on me but regardless i still like it a lot. typical splendid quality, which is good!)
this next item i’m in LOVE with– it’s the maje hostie peter pan collar sweater! i saw it for like $300 on their website and really wanted it, but it was $300, so clearly i didn’t buy it, but then i saw it on eBay and got into a serious bidding war but ended up winning at like $90 (with free shipping, yippiee!) considering it’s cashmere with real leather arms/collar, i think it’s worth it.
a REALLY long time ago, maybe back in july or so, i purchased the allsaints muses jumper, after oogling over it for almost a year..i love it, it’s really great! allsaints is a wonderful brand. the photos don’t really do the sweater justice, it’s a really artistic and well put together piece!
i bought these red houndstooth free people capris a few weeks ago on ebay. i really wanted them back in 2007/2008 when they were in the free people catalog but never bought htem, and when i saw them on ebay i just had to have it! they are great!
i’m convinced free people started making their pants smaller. i can fit into these just fine but if i try on pants in the same size but in the current season of free people, it’s too small! x: weird
i’m going to disneyland at the end of may for a band trip and i’m super stoked!! i saw this minnie mouse shirt and it was so adorable and cute that i decided i had to have it, even if i’m not quite at disneyland yet…c;
i visited h&m and bought these two delightful items; i think the sweater is some kind of lookalike of something selena gomez wore once. idk! my friend just told me it looked the same. i REALLY like the shirt!! it was great to find.
if you can’t read the shirt, it says “i’d walk across the wildest desert and deepest ocean just to kiss you one last time”. so cute!
i bought this blue free people barbary linen dress a few days ago. it is SO cute!
don’t ask why, but i had been looking for these exact argyle socks for a million trillion years. i kept finding the right color but with a yellow line instead of pink, but i finally found the pink ones! it’s allllll about bein patient, haha.
and i bought this dotti sweater a really long time ago also, maybe october or something? i really liked it because of its creamy color, but mostly because of the 3 adorable buttons on the shoulder! i had been looking for a sweater like this for a long time and finally found this one after seeing it on le blog de sushi’s blog! she is lovely :)
so that is my giant haul for now!
i will try to get in another post soon, perhaps after i get back from disneyland, or sooner
it’s been a looooooooooooooooong time since i posted one of these.
i stopped by target 2 weeks ago and thankfully my local store had a lot of jason wu things left! but only in big sizes :( so i ended up getting this pink polka dot blouse, which i really like. it has a rip in the back, but it’s not very noticeable!
awkwardly posed with me is my sick hello kitty foldable bike thing…i got it in like 3rd or 4th grade for christmas from japan. sweet life!
for a final project for my math class (not the actual final, but a project!!) we were asked to do something creative in a hands on form. most people took the easy way out and went for a crossword puzzle with geometry theorems and the like, or a dictionary, but i was the only person (i think..) in all 3 of my math teacher’s classes to do a SONG!
i worked pretty hard on it and i’m happy with the way it came out. (for the record, i’m not a huge justin bieber fan or a ‘#belieber’ XD)
it would be SOO awesome if you could watch, thumbs up, comment on the video, and subscribe!! and if you really liked it, share it!
it’s pretty catchy if i do say so myself–i promise it will get stuck in your head! :)
lyrics:
[verse 1]
I love my math class, but let’s be fair
Geometry’s hard and it is a scare
I want to pass but, where should I start?
I need to learn quadrilaterals to be smart!
[verse 2]
Algebra’s easy, Lombard, quit playin’
“Special Quads”? What are you sayin’?
“Kite, Square, Trapezoid”, I guess these do apply
I’m learning right angles and paired sides for the first time
[chorus]
And then I thought, rec-tang, rec-tang, rec-tangglee
Like rhombus, rhombus, rhombus noooo!
Like kite, square, kite, square, kite, square ohhh!
P-o-grams and T-zoids apply, apply
Rec-tang, rec-tang, rec-tangglee
Like rhombus, rhombus, rhombus noooo!
Like kite, square, kite, square, kite, square ohhh!
P-o-grams and T-zoids apply, apply
[verse 3]
Square not congruent? Naw, I would say Never!
Opposite sides are parallel, goes on forever!
And do not be a fool, rectangles are angle-equal
They’re parallel with pride, but only on opposite sides
[verse 4]
Trapezoids are opp-parallel sides, but not isosceles:
Sides equal in length and angles from parallel sides; such a tease!
This kite’s going down, down, down, down,
Angles equal where meet, diags bisect middle-bound
[chorus]
[rap/bridge]
When I was 15, I took geometry
There was nobody that compared to my teacher
except math came between us and the quads came above!
Parallelograms had me going crazy, oh I was starstruck
Opposite sides parallel, equal in length—that’s good luck!
Tests made my heart pound
I skip a beat when I see rhombuses on the sheet, and
On the board in the classroom
But I really wanna learn its properties, so
Angles equal, right, that’s blazin’
Four sided shape, amazin’
Parallel, equal length, non-breakin’
Bisect to right angles, I’m sayin’
[chorus]
[ending thing]
Know ‘em all, (yeah, yeah, yeah x2)
I know ‘em all, (yeah, yeah, yeah x2)
I know ‘em all, (yeah, yeah, yeah x2)
I know ‘em all, all, all,
I learned ‘em all!
thanks for watching, i hope you liked it and that you will share it, and possibly subscribe to me!
hey all! so i don’t really celebrate christmas or hanukkah or anything, so i figured this would count as my holiday/christmas haul. i kind of went crazy with shopping, but i didn’t actually do too much damage :D
i bought this hometown heroes OMG shirt that is originally from urban outfitters, from ebay for $18. i’ve just always really liked it, and it’s really soft. c: [awkward lighting, sorry]
i also bought this green free people hoodie from ebay! i used to want it when i was in like 6th grade, but i wasn’t allowed to buy free people things when i was in 6th grade…so when i saw it on ebay i was really happy!!
it’s kind of too long but it’s warm so i’m happy :D
eagle.
i didn’t actually buy this shirt–it was anonymously gifted to me! long story short i didn’t have to pay for it. check it out, it’s a shirt of mick jagger of the rolling stones, by a brand i am now obsessed with called ‘house of the gods’. it’s such a cool shirt. it’s longer in the back than the front, which i’m not used to, but it’s a cool look. plus it was free! :D
finally, my mom was out shopping in little boutique/knick knack/gift stores with me this past weekend and we stopped by a giftcard store that was selling adorable aprons.
one of my new year’s resolutions is to bake more; i’m ADDICTED to watching cake boss and next great baker, so i figured i should actually bake myself if i’m going to watch it on TV! so i saw this apron and i’m going to use it to inspire myself to bake. i’m on the lookout for a good red velvet cupcake mix that i can use for my first cupcakes…..let me know what you use, if you bake! :D
again, awesome lighting, i know……
anyway, i still have a ton more parcels coming my way but i will keep those for another post in a few weeks for MY BIRTHDAY!!
unfortunately i have finals the same week as my birthday so i will have to be studying for those :( i’m very happy with myself and how hard i have been working compared to last year, so i want to make sure i maintain good grades (especially in chemistry…damn!)
hello readers! i hope you all had a lovely holiday–mine was very quiet but nice :)
recently i found out about an awesome new brand called mad love, which is an australian based brand that has the cutest graphic shirts ever!! their designs are very unique, and i can definitely see this brand catching on soon :) they’re a lot similar to wildfox couture and lauren moshi, in my opinion, which is why i love them!
so the shirt that i bought is called the ‘mr hearts circle tank’. here are some stock pictures!
i fell in love with it immediately. it’s so adorable! i also saw it in girls life magazine’s december 2011 issue on miranda cosgrove:
i thought i was doomed to find it, because since mad love is a fairly new brand they don’t sell their own items in a webshop [yet] and all of their carriers didn’t have this shirt in stock :( i was so sad. but then i happened to search ‘mr hearts tank’ and came across a little google search that led to a store called meg & wally, based in australia. eureka!! i thought it was too good to be true, but it was perfect because the last size they had in stock was an XS (a size AU 8).
i ended up paying $84 AUD for my shirt after shipping. the shipping was a bit much but i think it was still worth it.
C U S T O M E R S E R V I C E ★★★★★ 5/5
i didn’t want to check out directly off the meg & wally site because whenever i tried to, my bank company would keep trying to ‘activate’ my card and ask for my social security number which was frustrating. i emailed meg & wally and asked them if i could check out over the phone instead and they gladly agreed! unfortunately my phone was messing up and the international calling didn’t work, so instead they emailed me a form to type in my information and send back to them; they said they used to use this service before they had an online check out, so it was safe.
C H E C K O U T & S H I P P I N G ★★★★★ 5/5
like i said above, meg & wally‘s customer service was super helpful, making checking out go swiftly. within moments of my email back to them with the information on the form filled out, they told me they would post my shirt out the same day! [this was on december 12, 2011]
shipping took quite a while–the parcel arrived on december 24, 2011 (christmas eve), and considering i paid $25 for shipping i was a little confused, but the package arrived in great shape so i don’t see a fault in it :)
P A C K A G I N G ★★★★ 5/5
the packaging. was. WAY TOO CUTE!!!!!! the actual bag they shipped it in was in that waterproof-plastic type material, and there was also a layer of transparent plastic as well. i opened the bag and it was like a christmas eve miracle!! the shirt was wrapped in brown paper with a meg & wally sticker on it, followed by two ribbons wrapped around it, with another meg & wally logo card, and some candies and a tea packet. it’s SO CUTE!!
the shirt was kind of wrinkled when it arrived, but i blame the fact that it was in the packaging for two weeks, not because they didn’t do a good job folding it :)
Q U A L I T Y ★★★★★ 5/5
WOW! the shirt is soooooooo soft. i can’t even explain it, the cotton is so soft to the touch. the material is slightly stretch but since it’s a loose top i’m okay with it.
[sorry i look so grumpy! XD]
F I T T I N G ★★★★ 4/5
it fits like a dream! it was a little bit too loose at the arms; without a bandeau you can definitely see my bra. if there had been an XXS, i would have ordered it, but i definitely would not have gone with a S because it would have been far too big. unless i wanted a dress type fit, then it would have been fine :) (for the record, i got an XS)
D E T A I L S ★★★★★ 5/5
great details, bold color, the shape is very abstract, i like it!
the details in the packaging was amazing, everything was so well put together, i felt like it was not just an order from me, but a gift to me from meg & wally :)
O V E R A L L 10000000/5!!!
overall i appreciated the service from meg & wally, and the quality of the shirt from mad love. i look forward to buying more items from them, and when i do it’s definitely going to be via meg & wally!!
check out meg and wally’s store in australia at:
Shop 2A 115 Cambridge Street,
