Dreaming About: Crazy Wedges

Ok, as a take my tests recently or get my papers back and frantically worry about whether or not I'm going to get into college, I wonder to myself, how did I get to this point? And then I realize, it's online shopping. Well not so much shopping, because although online shopping has been a normal form of procrastination of mine since freshman year, I have yet to actually order something online. But I'm about to take the plunge with NeedSupply. I found these gorgeous Jeffrey Campbell booties, which are not exactly what I've always dreamed of in a bootie (I want them sleeker and taller) but they are a more reasonable version (I go to school in the hills of San Francisco) at a far more reasonable price (only $99 while some other versions are $599). Oh you want a picture do you? Well Here you go: 

I know. Perfect. I would look beyond intense with these shoes. But the problem is THEY'RE SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE. It appears that everyone else already recognized their amazing-ness while I was still deciding if they were ugly or not. I'm ordering them anyways, since they should apparently be chez moi by New Years Eve. How hot would I be? and nice and warm too when looking at those fireworks. Sounds like a plan. 

PS. I just decided that another shoe wasn't ugly/fell in love with it. And now I can't decide which one I want! Any suggestions? Here's the competitor. The Alexa Wedge Bootie. Also by Jeffrey Campbell and is a more elaborate version of the one above. There was a great deal of controversy over it because its a clear knockoff of the Acne Boot that Alexa Chung wore (ergo the name of the knockoff version).

the jeffrey campbell knockoff (god bless him at $195 instead of $655)

AHHH help me decide! I hope I'm cool enough to wear them. 

RIP Daul Kim

So some of you know about the suicide commited by top model Daul Kim about two weeks ago. Daul Kim was an amazing model who graced the covers magazines such as Chinese and Koren Vogue, Korean Harpers Bazaar, and countless runways shows such as Salvatore Ferragamo, Alexander McQueen and Chanel. Despite her many accomplishments, Daul Kim was found dead in her apartment in Paris.

Here's some photos from her career:

As I was looking through pictures of her i found this one where's she's like hiding in flowers, which totally reminded me of one picture I took in a flower field in Normandy...

I guess that's my homage to her. Daul Kim will be greatly missed.

RIP Daul Kim.

Turkey Day! (La jour de l'Ane?)

HEY HEY!

so todays turkey day and I haven't posted anything for ages. That's bc a) i'm reasonably self-conscious and feel weird just asking my friends to go around taking pictures of me. I mean I'm borderline narcissistic, but really, that just cries out big ego. Don't worry. I'll get over it. oh and b) my computer is being a salope and not connecting to my iphone or my camera, so i can't download my pics. stupid i know.

So in memory of the Indians that were killed from smallpox, exiled from their land bc of land/freedom hungry americans, here's some pics from Halloween. I was Pocahontas, the disney movie version.

above is sara (football player), olivia (startrek), and chloe (some sort of angel from an art history painting)

I look borderline retarded in this pics, but it goes well with the day so whatever.

I have some awesome post ideas, so I will be posting again soon

(even though I should just lock myself in my house all break and crank out my apps, english paper, and french paper, FML)

Le Début: On a trouvé une nouvelle méthode de procrastination.

The best way to waste your life it by taking notes. The easiest way to avoid living is to just watch. Look for details. Report. Don't participate." Calvin and Hobbs

Hi, I'm Rachel Eisen and a senior in San Francisco. I decided to make a blog a couple weeks ago after reading that TeenVogue Article. This is actually my second attempt at making a blog. My first attempt was such a failure I lost my account. So why didn't I start up last month, like the slew of girls who similarly read that TeenVogue article? Well, I was so concerned about how to start. What would be the best way to show everyone that I was worthy of a blog. How should I talk? What should I talk about? I did tons of research, wasting my precious studying and college app time obsessing over blogs, fashion shows, online stores, and lookbook.nu.

But yesterday, I decided enough was enough. I had wasted enough time. Yes, it was true I did not have an awesome picture to start my blog off with. I probably don't even have enough time today to make this post half as cool as i wanted it to be (AP classes and Honors English are kicking my ass). But I can't keep delaying this. And as Calvin and Hobbs said above, I can't keep waiting to start, taking notes to make the perfect blog. So here I am, making a fool of myself, and hoping my next post will be a bit better.

Welcome to my new source of Procrastination. Here's some pics from my year abroad last year. They will trickle into my posts in the future.
