[By the window] summer reading list

Everyone should try and make a summer reading list. I know, I sound like some teacher or writer and in a little way I am. 

Truth be I had a hard time getting into reading and thank goodness I had loving English teachers that didn't demand that we read from a certain list of books. They did have a list of books they wouldn't take credit but for the most part we where free to read what we want. This did lead me away from reading classic books. And truth most classic books have some sort of movie version so why was my time reading the book. But now when I watch them I wonder what details where left out. I feel a good movie won't be including the details. You want more details, one hopes that you will be inclined to read the book.

So this summer is the summer of classic reading. The classic books that my parents always had a copy of, a easy readers version with pictures and them original version. Me, I would look at the picture book versions from time to time but never read them. Thanks be I have found all these books for the iPod book app for free. So no worry of library rentals or money to pay them. (No money in the pocket book for me)

Pollyanna

Wizard of Oz

Daddy long legs

Hedi

Little princess

Secret garden

Anne of green gables

Alice though the looking glass

Little lord Fauntleroy 

Sherlock Holmes adventures

Many of these books are part of a series of books but I just want to get the first ones read. Might squees Robin Hood and Tom Sawyer. I think I might do little book write ups and art for each in the coming weeks. 

[By the window] My summer movie list

Let is be known this isn't one of those best summer movie list. No, this is a list of movies I always find I crave to watch at the begging of each summer. Here are the top ten of my summer movie cravings.

1. Tiny toons How I spent my Summer Vacation

I grew up with tiny toons and at the start of ever summer I bike to the local rental store and pick up this movie. Always wanted to have an adventure like Babs and Buster. 

2. A chipmunk adventure

World travel movie seemed very summer time thing to do and also it be by tiny toons at the rental store.

3.Parent Trap

 I enjoy the old version and the new one and it takes place at a summer camp to start. So a very summer movie.

4. Tom and Huck

.... Jonathan Taylor Thomas is hot... -blush- ok next

5.Camp Nowhere

Every kids dream camp. And Christopher Lloyd is just awesome and fun.

6. Don't tell mom the babysitter is dead 

This movie was on the no watch for a while but then it was removed and I fully enjoyed it. I mean, sneaking into a cool fashion job, totally awesome. Although my summers where more like the happy burger scene.

7.rookie of the year

Baseball and summer go hand in hand in my mind. Although is really sucks when you live close to a baseball diamond that has no walls and some nights forgets to turn off the lights and you have work at 5am.

8. Sandlot 

I think there are very few my age that can not place this movie on the summer watch list. Cool note, I have been to the place they shot the fair scene.

9. Troop Beverly Hills 

 I rented this movie so many times as a kids my brothers wanted to die. :D but I did stop watching it and only of late picked it up and yes it's a cheesy fun movie.

10. North

  Yes, a totally panned movie but I enjoyed and yes, mostly because of Elijah Wood. But all the star cameos are fun to watch as well.

 

[42 cookie] Is it warm now?

The weather final turned warm where I'm at and I'm so happy. 

This weather totally gets me into summer. wait, it is summer now!? YAH!!

This brings me to summer plans and ideas. Its been on the brain all may but its time now to place that plans into action. How many times do we make summer plans and get nothing on the plan list done? Or am I the only one who never gets my summer plans off the ground. Well, I am a dreamer so I tend to dream the days away and never get the work done. Bad me. But I might as well make a list and see if I can get anything on my list done.

Summer actives usally are these...

Reading books and then writing my own stories.

Going to parks; local, national or amusement.

If not that, enjoying a green yard and drawing.

Summer Movies.

So this week I am going to make it summer plans week. 

Times a wasting.

[Frills and Grace] Springs Dreams

Today's Topic's : New make-up and wig, Cute Lolita Articals and summer dress favorite. Also, I got a iPod touch and now on twitter, instgram and snapeee. I will do app review at some other time.

First, new wig and make-up.

My new pony tail and bang clip. I original just got the pony tail hopping but realized my own hair color was to dark so quickly ordered the bangs. I use my own bangs to give it more volume. The bangs clip in great but the pony tail it a bit tricky if you don't know what you are going. It said it was a clip but in my mind, its not. Its has two combs and a draw string. I braid my own hair and place it in a bun then I place the hair combs into the buns. So now I have a lovely bun and bangs. I normal just have very fine hair so this is nice and I like the look it gives. Reminds me of a character I've drawn for years.

Second, the two artical reads of the week that I'm enjoying.
    1. Tokyo's Rebel's Trip to Baby the Stars shine Bright Store. Click Here
         These two girls, so cute. I ADORE Midori Fukasawa dress.
    2. Harajuku Lolita Experience Tokyo Fashion
         Got Tokyofashion app on my ipod and its awesome because its up-to-date. I enjoy street snaps. Its  more of the real fashion.

Three, its summer lolita fashion is in stores. So here a few of my top favorite dresses that if I wasn't unemployed, I'd try to get. 

1. Victorian Maiden - Rococo Bouquet Sailor Ribbon Dress
2. Innocent World - Mary Bell Onepiece (reminds me of Mable from the Pirate Movie)
3. Alice and the Pirates - Love air mail appliquéd junper skirt (sadly sold out)
4. Baby the Stars shine bright - Juicy Baby love Love berries
