hellooo alll... hiatus over

Winter Break. I figured it might be time to post something.

from: tamgutlich on etsy.

She's doing a cool 2 for 1 sale for all of December so go check her out!

Blah blah one quarter into college. Not really much to say actually. It's a very different pace from high school but I'm sure it'll pick up. Also.. I should get out of my room more. Heh.

Happy holidays everyone!! Go watch some Charlie Brown and listen to Dean Martin!!

heh.

It's been a while...

I'm in the process of cleaning my bookmarks folder... there are literally hundreds of links in it.

So I thought it would be fitting to have a nice long... and I mean LONG... links post. Just to get back into the drive of things...

dutch people dream of the strangest but coolest designs

so I have never liked pop-tarts... but these look enticing...

treehouse dreams

each day

i watch as you fall in

a beautiful

terrible arch

and stand there

watching

as the forces of gravity

drag down your body

and my dreams

and our tomorrow.

School is pretty much done... which means this blog should be more active soon. Check soon for updates!

pianos tinkle at twilight

i am an embarrassment to myself.

heh.

Hello.. long lost blog. And blog readers.

...I am ashamed. No real explanation for this awful hiatus except... life. School. College... laziness....

Yes. Terrible.

Anyway: an update.

College admission results are starting to come in... It's strange. I feel like I'm supposed to be feeling really happy or excited... but it's mostly apathy. Shouldn't the brink of a new kind of life have some sort of thrill in it? Maybe it's because I'm still waiting on my top choice colleges.

Thinking about not leaving California but I still don't think that's really right for me. I want to do something different... get out of the California mentality for a bit. And I think being on the east coast will really challenge me to do more with myself.

We'll see after all of the decisions come in.

Let's see.. what else. School. Has been pretty lawl. I'm not really working hard in anything now except... Government and U.S. history... and... art. Hahaha... but plenty of work on clubs and such.

People-wise, I've been doing pretty well. Hanging out with friends and just having fun. I'm going to miss high school. Well.. some of it.

Turned 18.. nothing new. Should go get my ears pierced again.

AND... currently obsessed with VERONICA MARS. It's sharp, smart, funny, and pretty interesting. Plus... Logan Echolls.. love.

Went to Boiling Crab yesterday.. it was really good. Messy, a bit overrated, but good. Thank you Jessica Lin!

End rambling.

One of my new favorite blogs: http://luxirare.com/. So inspiring and beautiful. The photography is stunning. I wish I had the drive and creativity to just... do all this stuff. The crayon post heart.

More to come. Promise.

failz

I have attempted to post at least 4 times.. but either internet would crash or I would be overwhelmed with other things and fail to post. TOO MANY THINGS GOING ON.

So. This is just a reassurance that I WILL BE BACK (hopefully tomorrow) with a looong post about everything that is going on plus a ton of fashion tidbits.

Apologies for the inactivity...

and...
THIS IS WAY TOO COOL. I WANT TO MAKE WHATEVER SHE IS WEARING.

sheets of rain

from j. crew (brasspetal.blogger.com)

Skewl. I wish I could have strutted around school like this when I was 6. Sadly, I was stranded in the land of baggy overalls and misguided fashion sense. Ah, childhood.

But seriously. Cuffed shorts, mini green bowtie, and flower crammed in a beltloop? Too good.

On another note, it's been raining like freaking crazy. I know I've said this already but AHHH it's rare in Southern California. And did you guys all know... all music sounds better in the rain. I've been just sitting in my car listening to music and dreaming of the future. And the rain looks so pretty on the streets... like flat sheets of it just curtaining on the gravel. Love.



This cracked me up.



More pictures from yesterday's lookbook requested...
so...

(I'll make them smaller so I feel less egotistical...) This was a good photoshoot. Rare.



... I was going to post some fashion editorials I loved but... kind of meh now. Tomorrow. Promise. Along with some etsy features.

Smile, darlings.

Most recent lookbook. Thanks to Yada who went a little crazy with the pictures... :)



Raining like crazy. Smells and sounds so clean and pretty.

I really love thunder. How it rolls and rumbles somewhere in the faraway clouds.

I hate being wet.

... I don't know what that all amounts to... Maybe all I need is a soundtrack of rain and thunder and a perfume bottle of the scent of rain.

But... nah. I think I'll tolerate the wetness.

uhm.
Not too much to say... as you can tell from the lack of posts recently.
Saw my first horror movie yesterday... it wasn't that bad. What better way to watch a horror movie than squished between someof your favorite people, and under the warm fuzzy covers?

:)

Hummm...
So I want to start writing again. I haven't in really QUITE a while... like half a year. So. I've got something in my head... thinking about it. It will someday show up in here.

Intriguing, black, punk, and beautiful. Need to DIY this:

lookbook: you wanna dance with me...?

It rained today. It was my favorite kind... the misting cool-but-not-cold kind. The kind when the sun comes out after and makes you smile and laugh.




Wearing: lace cami | grey pleated skirt | black tights | brown studded boots
Lookbook.

First one in a while. I miss dressing up. Although there is always the lure of jeans and a t-shirt. Which reminds me... I want more tees. Shopping... time to revamp the closet.



Time for some random links:

Pretty sleeves.

I know Styrofoam cups are awful for the environment.. but this is AMAZING.

An eagle can kill a young deer and fly away with it. What?

So quirky and unique! Check out these humorous tights!

Photojournalism.

Chambray and studs.

That's all for now.

Smile dearies.

lusting sheer cotton

An actual fashion post instead of a random photo vomit post.

DESIGNER: Therese Rawsthorne

I stumbled upon her line a couple days and have been meaning to write about her. Because she. is. amazing.

I love how her clothing has this modern, very strong look, yet is also carelessly feminine. The use of natural, plain colors in soft textures and folds in not anything particularily new I suppose, but the way Therese Rawsthorne renders her ideas into clothing is truly very elegant. However, the undone, supposedly careless look of all her work gives an impression of effortless ease. Her work is a great study in contrasts.





all photos: thereserawsthorne.com

Love the last two especially... the slightly sheer cotton tumbling off the model's frame. Gorgeous. And then the seductive bustier with the weekend sweater look. Love.

Therese is a relatively new designer, putting on her first fashion show in April 2009. I'm definitely expecting great things from her in the future.





Time to ramble about my life...

School is alright. Barely any homework except for APUSH... and I just am TOO GOOD at wasting time. I'm working on that... trying to work on my blog and fashion and etsy stuff. Scholarships too... Plenty to do. Siz hours in front of a computer doing god knows what is NOT GOOD.

Pretty excited for second semester. Time to leave behind all of the crap from previous semesters, and just... remember the people who really matter, the people I will really miss when I leave. There isn't much time left and I really want to make use of every second. I can't wait for just a lot of time with friends, one-on-one yogurt dates, or ice cream runs, or coffee breaks. Yes, I'm quite a foodie. Hopefully enough people will be free enough so that I have people to hang out with.

I will miss high school. But I think I'm ready to leave.

Speaking of food... have gained quite a few lbs. No idea why... maybe stress? (at what?) Emma and I are embarking on a serious exercise regime so we should be good.

Sunbursts are so pretty.

Anyway, painted my nails a firetruck red... I'm going to take that as a sign for more cheeriness and laughter to come. Cheers to a new year everyone.

I haven't done this is a while...

Etsy Feature: necklush - infinity multi-strand circle scarf, cowl, and necklace

I love these. They are so versatile and well. They just look cool. Not to mention they come in like a gazillion prints. Gorgeous and a really creative idea. They are featured in a ton of magazines and pulbications, so check them out!!

and if this world makes you crazy...

Today was a strange day. Some days are just melancholy.

Music is beautiful.




I don't know... not much to say. I'll throw on some photos...

These girls are so cheery and full of life! And their braids are gorgeous.

I love meadows.

Sheer cloth + glasses <3

Beautiful hair.



Will update etsy soon... maybe tonight. Giveaway from my store soon!!

tomorrow, fall faster towards me

Three hour naps are perhaps not the best nor most productive way to spend the night. This is something to keep in mind.

AHH... sometimes it's important to be patient, shut up, and bite your mouth. Lesson learned.

Anyway, first semester is drawing to a close. I can't wait to spend some time with myself and friends and such. There will finally be time for me work on stuff I love to do ... like my fail etsy and this blog. I keep telling myself, only 6 months. Only 6 months. I can't wait.

The sunrises and sunsets have been beautiful these few days. It's the most calming, seductive part of my day. I would marry the sky if I could.

Inspiration for the next 6 months: (random photos I've saved over the last... year or so)
