It was so...

It was so...

Hot Today! I am a person who just does not love the heat- at least, not when it's humid. I prefer to stay in a nice air conditioned room relaxing aka doing nothing. Hung out with a friend and we got to meet and shoot some awesome people today for a new street style blog in Boston-not exactly original but it's all in the people you shoot. It's going to be amazing!Anyways, I'm going to start posting a string of random outfits to see where I stand. I spent a ton of money this week-gotta watch those spending habits! I didnt buy any basic stuff so half of my closet is still incomplete. Next time, I swear that's what I'm going for first.

I was going to wear jeans...again, until I had an inner conflict over them and decided to switch them ofr a skirt. The result? black on black, and I swear it does not happen on purpose. I guess I'm just an undercover goth. I wore some ankle boots to school but switched them for heels because everything looks better with heels and I dont have great legs. All is fair in love and fashion though,eh?

The Sartorialist

Ok,I miss blogging. So I'm gonna start blogging again. I was getting my daily sartorial fix when I saw the above girl. There was something that made me think exactly of another outfit she was photographed in. As for the first girl, who could forget that face? Ok, maybe it wasn't by face.Those outfits are amazing but the first thing that drew me in were the shoes. It's amazing how they different the outfits are with the same shoes. I dont think anyone could wear striped socks and sandals and not look a little crazy, except that girl.

See ya, can't wait to meet ya

Ok,so this blogging once a week thing isn't really cutting it and I really feel inadequate without the visuals. I am one of those people that are just expressing themselves visually. Words are incoherent to me without pictures sometimes. I'm going to lay off posting until I get my camera and can really start in corporating my life in this blog. I'll be posting again next month,for sure!

Somewhere In a Far Off Destination

Somewhere In a Far Off Destination

I feel these days as if I'm living with little purpose in the present. My life feels bittersweet as if I'm missing something and to be honest, I have no idea. It feels as if my days are all starting to blur together. The worst thing is that I've felt this way as long as I can remember. I live day to day just hoping the day will be over and that I can have another break from school or from the social aspects of life.Why social?It's just that so many people have gone in and out of my life and with them went a piece of my heart and a part of my trust. I want to meet people and I love learning about them but how can I when so many have let me down?Human relations are so awkward and I feel it with every conversation or gesture I make with other people. I'm still trying to figure out if it's just me or the world.
School is tiring and I hate going. I have a small group of friends that I adore but I always feel the need to be better than I am. I'm pretty quiet in school,definitely not the most outgoing of the bunch.It's going to change but it doesn't change the fact that there are people I don't care to see and work I don't want to do. Honestly, theres nothing much to do about it except to live it out. In less than two years I'll be graduating from highschool and I have no idea what I want to do. All my life I thought I wanted to do art, but now I'm questioning myself. I've always loved it because I'm good at it but I don't really create at home. However, I create art at school and at my job. I think my job is one of my most cherished things. It's not everyday you love a place you work at. I won't have this job forever either but I'm excited to go other places, too.
I know that being an artist is hard but I had thought it and decided I would work my ass off and achieve my dreams. But now, other thoughts have been tugging at my mind. Will I really make it? How long will it be? How will I make it with all these amazing artists?How do I deal with the competitiveness?Will I be a nobody all my life? I know the answer to these questions and I'm going to reassure myself that of course I can make it. It's all about hard work and determination. I have to network,too, and while it won't be easy, it's a challenge worth taking. As long as I stay true to my art, it will be original. No one is exactly like you no matter what you think and no one is really all that original anymore. Life's way too short and I overthink things way too much. It's time to cut a little slack so I could breathe and actually live instead of being a slave to the pessimism and fear I hold. It sounds so corny but with ultimately I can only make myself happy and I have to treat myself well. No eating garbage, no thinking barbage, and no talking garbage.Life, Here I come.

It's A Wrap

It's A Wrap

Yesterday I received the skirt of my dreams and unfortunately it wasn't exactly a dream. So sad because I loved the print. However,it was shorter than I expected and the size was actually to big in the waist.That isn't too bad but the main concern was the fabric. It was wayyy lighter than I thought and super clingy. Still cute,just not worth 58 bucks.So that's off to the mailbox...

Next purchase? Something from piperlime! I always spend time drooling over clothes and shoes online so when I saw that Ms.Shoo from SheBreathes was doing a piperlime giveaway, I entered in a hearbeat and I won!Really exciting stuff considering the last time I won something was probably when I was 10(a stuffed seal at the local fair ,haha.) But yes, SheBreathes is an awesome blog with an awesome layout showcasing designers and artists that you may not have seen before. I've found many a designer's work that I love due to this site. It's pure eye candy so take a visit!(screenshot:taken from shebreathe's website)

($65.00, necklush ultra)
And speaking of sites, I love to visit and drool over, can I say that I love Etsy?I have a infinite list of favorite things but right now I'd really like a Necklush: ($40.00,necklush - natural with magenta print)

This would do double duty as a necklace/scarf for me. They're available in a nice varety of colors I love neck adornments for some reason- I have a bajillion necklaces and scarves(ok,exaggeration) taking up space in my closet but I'd still like more-the more, the merrier =)
