                   Sorry here's a picture with my iPad, no matter it was for my Instagram.

I've been thinking about school a lot guys (well girls), about this second semester in college.

Man is life different from high school days. You're whole life is different, not in a bad way,

but you're on your own schedule and no ones guiding you every step. So while I'm not moved out and working full-time to pay for school, it's still a time where I am adjusting and creating my own lifestyle. Finding out what meager things keep me happy.

                        It's still a bit messy but it is not a fast process that just happens overnight. I do still pay the bills I acquire through the months, though it's easy to forget things. Forget to do the things that make you happy. It's so funny because those are the things that help you shape out the way you want to live and you'll still forget! It's so easy to get wrapped up in so many other things life throws your way. The little things like this blog, or Lookbook, magazines, bookstores and even just thinking of D.I.Y projects (etc.) will turn around my days. 

                       I'll always try to incorporate these things into my life. Creating, learning, skating, it's a part of me. Making a lifestyle after high school seems like more of a general term to me. Especially since you make your own lifestyle and "boho" or "chic" is not really 

specific enough. What plans are you making toward the life you want? What do you do

to keep yourself happy?

 P.S Sorry for the rambling but school starts back up tomorrow and I guess I had some things to get off my chest. Any opinions, replies ? 

Flashback to The Holidays

                                                    Random Shoe- Mikes foot 

                                                   Combat boots- Macy's

                                                   Sweater leggings- Walmart

                                                   Oversized Jacket- moms closet

                                                                   Snow 

               

                     Sorry for the even worse quality picture but It escaped my mind completely 

that I never shared my  Christmas presents with you! Now, my family isn't very big on 

celebrating together but we all still drop. off presents and this is what I got! 

                      A recipe book for macaroons, shoes from Forever 21 and Alice in Wonderland 

from Mike; A Nikon Coolpix L620and Foam subscription from my mom; Gift cards from my aunts and uncles;  an Ipad case and nail polish from my brothers! I know it's not a lot but I appreciate everything I got, and got more than I needed. That is not at all what the holiday is about. 

                  Sadly I gave my presents out before even thinking to take a picture of them all! Except the picture I drew, it's Ariel from The Little Mermaid for a tattoo my best friend wants, She was surprised that I agreed and almost succeeded. My friends and family's faces were literally priceless! This was the first Christmas that I could afford to give them nice things myself. Although I got a bit carried away on the Black Friday sales but It was totally worth all the money! 

                     More importantly, the best gift was my moms gift; the one my two brothers and I got her, Snow. We split buying my mom a puppy from a breeder that she'd LOVE. For a couple years she's been wanting one and feels like she's been a bit lonely. We all help take are of Snow but she loves my mom so much and makes her a great deal happier! 

           Tell me about the best gifts you gave and received, I'm really interested to hear !

Double Date

                                                     Mike & I trying to be casual 

                                                        shoes at Magic Mountain

                                                     ( Mike, Calvin, Taylor & I )

                             

                             

                             

                              

                                                     Taylor & I being silly

    

     Sorry for such a personal post, but I just had so much fun on our double date!

Don't be discouraged ladies and gents (mostly ladies) I made sure to dress up for you! I'm 

wearing a bow collared tank from Forever 21, a mustard yellow cardigan from Target,

my leggings are from a local thrift store and my brown Peter Pan boots are from closet 

de moma. (Haha her closet is still pretty fun to play dress up in!) 

     The couple we went with are co-workers from work, they're actually really nice 

people. Mike was overwhelmed with excitement since we don't have many mutual

friends. Taylor has similar qualities and interests as me, so I'm hoping to convert her to 

more online duties than Instagram. I know she must be full of ideas! She'd be splendid 

at these things. Maybe she'll even partner up with me, so fingers crossed guys!

                           

                                                                                                     xoxo

                      I have no idea why I love Mickey and Minnie mouse so much lately, but its just so juvenile that it makes me miss my younger years but just so classic that makes me feel sophisticated for some reason.

                      Its hard to really grasp the idea of growing up, I mean you're 18 and supposed to go to graduate, college and know what you want to do for the rest of your life. I mean I have an idea what I want to do, but it seems like so much pressure. I don't want to be pressured, don't you just want to sit at home and do kid stuff sometimes? (Nap, color, draw...etc) I WANT TO PLAY OUTSIDE.

                       When we're younger, our biggest struggle was figuring out who was feeding you. And us, as typical children, wanted nothing more but to be grown up. "When I'm older.. all my troubles will be gone." Well we didn't expect time to go so fast.

                    Just my thoughts today, anything to add loves?

                       (I love this topic, so I most likely will talk about it again)

At Peace

                Am I the only one who goes to Barnes and Noble or a library to sit there and read all day? I go, get a Vanilla Bean frap and sit on the floor against a bookcase to just be consumed with the atmosphere. Maybe I'm just weird but it just gives me security and keeps me at peace. I have a mini library at my house but it's not quite the same feeling. It's muse to life just as a hike in the woods can be in the summers or spring. That's just my opinion, sometimes the smallest things can create happiness, remember that.

        More than just fashion history books find their way to my hands, I also LOVE adventurous story lines. The Hunger Games has been my most recent series obsession but Alice in Wonderland is definitely on the agenda. Adolescent years, I read Harry Potter, A series of Unfortunate Events, Junie B. Jones and more.. (Haha I was quite the busy bee) Are there any other good reads anyone could recommend or want to discuss? 

                                                                                                            

                                                                                                          -Fashionably Me

It got WEIRD

        I am beyond giddy to figure out that it's actually cool to not match and be weird/corky. You guys don't understand (or maybe you do) that middle school and early high-school I was 

even more outrageous with my style and people really made fun of me for it. Now it's a popular trend to actually have your own mind made up for what goes on your body (crazy isn't it?) . Not that       I'm complaining, it's sort of refreshing in a way. 

      

      Although more recently to me, it has seemed to confuse the teenagers. Some have gone back to wanting to dress the same but call it non-uniformity, people seem interested in hobbies that have always been attainable. Maybe it's the idea of being 'at peace with one self' if these hobbies (like painting, reading, incense lighting,drawing..etc) are done ? But how can you be at peace if you're not actually being your true self or the best you can be as an individual ? 

       

      I don't know, I'm weird these are the things I think about, I'll probably write something along these lines again soon. I'm not completely on one side or the other, so opinions, comments ?

                P.S. I love playing with fonts :p

First Bleached shorts!

           These are actually the first pair of shorts I've ever made (crazy right?) I mean they aren't perfect but considering that I made these in twenty minutes for an article in the school paper. It was unbelievably easy, even for someone not into crafts or anything (my brother). I normally pair high-waisted shorts with a loose top and some crazy colored cardigan, but that's just me. Try it and tell me how they come out !
