Stains are a pain. Wear black.

I was sitting in History today, staring disdainfully at my hot chocolate stained, perfectly ironed, white button-down when I realized: I'm a klutz. White is not a color that I have any success in. So instead of writing a painfully dull history paper, I am lamenting my school's dress code and the fact that I have only 1 navy polo. Since navy is as close to black as we're allowed to get, I will be buying more polos when I have the chance... and once this paper's done.

C'est la vie, so just go with it.

Ok, first post. Here it goes:

I have decided to start a blog about anything that enters my mind. Knowing me, those things will probably have to do with fashion and travel. Fashion has been a passion of mine since I was little, and instead of dressing up my Barbies, I would ask my grandmother to help me sew lace and fabric scraps onto their existing outfits. I ADORE traveling. I have been to over 25 countries in my life. My favorite places are Paris and Portofino. The culture, style and especially food (yum) from other countries have influenced me greatly, and I am forever thankful that my parents have decided to give my sister and I the opportunities that we are given (regarding travel, education etc.).

I am one of those people that is incredibly opinionated but usually keeps my mouth shut. I firmly believe that life happens, and moaning and whining over whatever may occur is a waste of time. It's the 'C'est la Vie' philosophy (A.K.A. That's life, so just go with it). Also, I talk/write like an English professor (save a few grammatical or spelling errors), which I know is tres irritating. I am nearly fluent in French, and a complete Francophile, so if I use an unhealthy amount of French phrases, please excuse me. I like computer science, world history and physics (though I rarely understand the latter), and much to the shock and awe of my friends, I religiously watch BBC world news.

Well... Now I am tired, but I like this blogging idea. It might work out after all.
