Oxfords, Oxfords, Oxfords!

                                

I have just recently fell in love with a kind of shoe that I really want!  They are called oxfords.  I think traditionally they were black and white (but I'm not sure), but now a days you can find them in many different patterns and colors.  I think I want mine to be black and white or two different colors of brown.  I do not want them to be all the same color. These might look like men's golf shoes, but they are much more feminine than that. They are a type of shoe that can be casual formal and casual or at least that's why I like them so much.  I also love Oxford University's campus, but that's totally different.  It seems these days is that all the shoes I have are either a pair of converse or a pair of ballet flats.  But these are classy and fashionable and you could wear them with almost anything! Well I just wanted to share this.  I am thinking this might become a fashion blog, but I am not sure yet.  I have plenty of other things to talk about.  I am going to try to scout out for a  pair of these tomorrow during Black Friday.  I have never been a Black Friday sort of person, but I am sort of liking it. Well I hope everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving Break (if you live in America). C'ya Later!

Yay for Musicals!

                                          (^that's Wallie)
I saw "Les Miserables" last night and it was pretty good. I was confused for most of the first act, but I thought their singing was amazing! Also when seeing "Les Miserables" you get to hear the all famous songs "I Dreamed a Dream" and "On My Own".  Another amazing thing is that they sing all throughout the whole play, nonstop. I mean how do they do that!? Singing is so tiring in the first place. It would be even harder for the characters that hardly go off the stage. Though I don't think I could appreciate it as much from where I was sitting. My friends and I were sitting on the right side and there was this big black thing that would block our view every once in awhile when someone was speaking over there. My friends were to nice to complain about it, like I do. I can still say that "Sweeney Todd: Demon Barber of Fleet Street" is my favorite musical and then "Wicked" would be right after that. But I feel like I can check "Les Miserables" off some sort of list of seeing musicals, though I would probably like to see it again someday in a better seat. Well I have to go and do homework that I failed to do yesterday. C'ya Later!

Hey Musical Writers Out There!

Well I have an idea for a Musical and I really need some help with it especially people who have experience with cancer. Since I am in school I don't get much time to write it so I would love to get other people involved in it, because I need more than one perspective and more stories. I wouldn't even mind if you knew someone who produces musicals and would like to tell them. Though I don't think many people actually read my blog out there in the world. Well just leave a comment if you or anyone you know would be able to help.

I need to get my license...

It's saturday and I am so bored and I have to do homework. Though I am so bored that it seems like I just can't bring myself to doing my homework. I feel like I am doing nothing with my life right now. I know I am just in 10th grade, but I feel like I can be doing something more...productive. I still have more than 2 years till college. I really just want to leave my life and start something NEW. But it seems like there isn't any escaping any time soon. I just want a drastic change in my life (something good of course). Well I guess I will just end the note with posting a picture of one of my cats.

School Starts tomorrow...

Well, back to school again. Maybe unlike others, I am excited to go back. See people again. Be in another play. Meet new teachers and all that stuff. What I like about my school, is that we don't even have classes on the first day. Well to get to my point I was going to point out some things that you might want for your back to school look this year (well at least girls and women). Different colored pants, especially RED. They give a spark to your outfit. A sort of youthful look while it's in a flattering skinny jean style. I already have gotten some red pants of my own from Urban Outfitters that cost $29.00 plus tax. Pleated skirts and dresses from an off white color to black with neon colored stripes. I got my pleated skirt at H&M and it cost around $22-$24.00 (I bought it in london, so I am not sure about the conversion). I also saw them being advertised in TeenVogue in the vintage collection part of the issue called "The Comeback Kids". I am not too sure if Vintage ever went out of style, but it surely is coming back.teenvogue.com/style/market/feature/2011/07/retro-inspired-looks#slide=3 I truly love getting 60's and 70's type of clothing, like bell bottoms, converse, and loose long sleeve blouses. I own a pair of yellow bell bottoms. I also have a striped v-neck that I can put with it and it makes me feel like I'm Jan Brady from "The Brady Bunch". I will hope to post a picture of it. I hope everyone has a great first day of school. C'ya later!

My First Blog Post

Ok so this is my first blog. I don't really have a main reason to start it. I thought in this first post I would introduce myself. Why hello there! My name is Katie, originally Katherine (and still is), but I don't like to be called that. I have a sister whose name is Alice. I also have 3 cats Snoopy (the youngest), Wallie (the middle), and Duchess (the elder). And my parents are not divorced, though it seems so many are these days. I live in Alabama, yeah the south, but I'd say I don't have a southern accent. I love glee, Harry Potter, and Narnia. I like history, maybe I will major in it some day. I also like acting, but most of my acting career has been at my school, where I have tried to be in as many plays as possible. I am also in my schools choir and chamber choir. I take piano lessons. I really hope to be able to play broadway songs from heart someday. I also want to live in England when I am older. I'd really like to go to college there too, preferably Oxford. I just visited it and fell in love, but I've had this dream for awhile. I also had cancer when I was younger and left me with a limp. I try to live my life and raise awareness of it. I support The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, because my dad runs in the Team in Training races and is a coach. I was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota moved to Memphis, Tennessee and then moved to Peachtree City Georgia and finally came to Alabama. Well gotta go, C'ya later!
