My Blog?

My Name is Susie, I'm 17 years of age and live in the lively city of Portland, hence the name. I'm brand new to the world of blogging so let's give it a go. I'll try to write about what I know which is dance, style, music, being young, and the terrible world which is high school. Stay tuned and maybe I'll catch your fancy.

Back to School Vol. I


Listening to: Upward Over the Mountain- Iron & Wine, Terrible Love- The National, Going to Queens- The Mountain Goats, The Youth- MGMT
(Oh, and I'd like to address the issue that my delightful new playlist to the right- has some serious errors due to the fact that the people who submit to playlist.com are morons. So please know that the mistake of calling Arcade Fire, "the arcade fire" and misnaming several other bands, was not me. Enjoy!)
At last! Fall/Winter '10 collections have arrived! Being a Portland native, my comfort zone consists of overcast, chilly air, and frequent showers. Therefore, I couldn't be more pleased to see the heat waves cool down to the coziness of fall. One of the highlights of fall/winter in Oregon would be the delightful apparel, such as over sized cardigans, knit tights, thick leggings, and leather footwear. My wardrobe for fall will most definitely include all of the above, especially warm winter sweaters and knit socks. Unfortunately, with the weather comes a new school year, Junior year, to be exact. While I'm thrilled to be moving beyond the dreaded years of underclassmen status, I can't help but feel that high school will never, ever come to an end. Though all the adults in our lives say, "high school is just a blip in your life, it will be over before you know it!" I still feel the resentment of counting down the 172 days of my year till it will be summer again. Missing the freedom and spontaneity of summer, but not the weather, all I can do for now is hope I have enough to look forward to in my busiest school year yet. I'll try to keep blogging, even with my little free time. In the mean time please, enjoy these photos, compliments of Talula and TNA (as always), as well as various vogue and lookbook.nu, they're sure to get you in the mood for fall fashion.
The Petite Portlandian.
