For my own style, I love vintage. 60's and 70's are my favorite. I love baby doll dresses and the soft colors. I try to mix a little bit of modern into that; maybe I'll wear it with boots. At my school we wear a uniform, but we have one day a week we can wear whatever we want. ~Elle Fanning

You think you are prepared. You think you have done everything you're supposed to, study hard, work hard, keep yourself out of trouble, and then, whoosh!

Something that will either change your life for the better, or end it forever. Chaos. ~James Michael
