Speaking Of...

While we are on the subject of jewelry (remember my post on the earrings?) I looked down today and for a moment, thought I was trapped. The reason for this scare was the copious amounts of necklaces I was/am wearing. Bling bling, yo. So here is my "neck party" as well as the outfit that accompanied it. Taken with my phone by the way...

The rose necklace was my mom's, the tree one I got as a gift last year, and the excessively long chain I got at Urban Outfitters. Altogether, they are quite the crew. 

 As for what I'm wearing, burgundy high waisted pants, my beloved gold vans, and a plain cream tee shirt. Keeping it simple. Sorry for the lack of posts this past week by the way. I'm trying! 

peace out cub scout.

Just listen.

Just listen, they said. That's all you have to do here, now, whenever. No reading necessary! Just listening. Because I'm sharing with you a song that I've been kind of addicted to for the past few days. By addicted I mean, on repeat all the time. Mornin' Noon n' Night. Enjoy...

 

Also, isn't the singer a bit of a Joseph Gordon-Levitt lookalike? Maybe it's just me, considering my friend thought I was half insane when I asked her if she thought so. 

Goodnight.

Old Faithful

 Less than 20 days of actual school classes left! Can you all just give me virtual high fives? I shouldn't get too excited though, these will be the longest 20 days of the year. Moving painfully slow as per typical school fashion. Ha fashion. Anyways, it is during this time, that I always get slightly lazy, sartorial-wise. And so, every year I always find my self going back to the old standbys, stuff that I know will look good even if I have five minutes to throw an outfit together in the morning, with absolutely no time to get creative as I usually like to. But, on to the point of this post, for at it's heart, this post is about one pair of earrings that I got for two dollars a long time ago. They add a little sumthin' sumthin' edge to anything and everything I wear, making them a necessity during this time of year. Hence, I call them Old Faithful. 

Ignore the wild wisps of hair that I've given up on controlling. I'm sorry if my abnormally small ears offend you. I offend myself. Blahblahblah. Anyways, they are simple as can be, and go with everything. Considering I wear them everyday, I thought I ought to feature them. Old Faithful bringing it in. Originally, this post was going to end here, but then this morning I took this picture of my shadow, and look who snuck into it! My good friends, Chuck and Taylor. Another one of my favorites that I know I can always count on.

Hi Chuck. Hi Taylor. This is quite a quality photo if I do say myself. You can tell what time it was because of the shortness of my shadow. I have to go finish an art assignment now for a summer program I'm doing. By the way, go outside today, it's practically summer. Motha nature loves us. 


Peace out cub scouts. 

If the Internet was my Closet...

A girl can dream right? Right? Right? I guess just because someone can do something doesn't mean they should, but that's another conversation entirely. I personally, am one-hundred percent for dreaming, in case you were wondering. Aldous Huxley said "Dream in a pragmatic way". Well, if we are talking pragmatic in the sense of practicality, I believe clothing is very practical. Don't even try to argue nudist colonies with me. Anyways, here's my mash-up of dreams, if you're still with me. This would be an outfit to help deal with the temperamental behavior of good old mother nature. Cue, artfully arranged items:

Acne jacket and tee
Dannijo Loolee necklace
Pamela Love skull necklace
Marc Jacobs bow ring
Dannijo Beatrix ring
Versus jeans
Carven sandals

There you have it. My dreams. #butnotreally. Thank goodness, I have much greater dreams for myself than this, but you get the point. I'm not exactly sure what the "Do it Better" is referring to, however. If you know, share your knowledge. I'm guessing movie reference? Probably not. This monologue has gone too far. Anyways, todays session of "If the Internet was my Closet" has come to a close. 


Sweet dreams. 

Sunday Report

I thought I'd share some of the things that are making me smile at the moment, it's the small things that count anyways, right? So I thought and I thought, and came up with this list of things...


1. What I'm Reading...

It's just so good. Creepy and disturbing, but. so. good. 

2. What I'm Listening To...

A weird mix, I know. But this is pretty much all I have been listening to for about two weeks straight. Favorite songs from each album would have to be: "Apply" by Glasser, "Born to Die" by Lana del Rey, and I can't pick one from Jimi Hendrix! Maybe it would be "The Wind Cries Mary" or "Fire". I don't know what I'd do without music sometimes!

3. LEMON BARS.

Okay, you got me. This has nothing to do with anything but I saw this picture on tumblr and they just looked so good I had to share. If I don't make these soon I might cry.

*4. I also have a major appreciation of Chai Tea, Kleenex tissues, and reruns of The Big Theory at the moment due to my cold...

There you have it. Stuff I like right now. Also, Net-a-Porter, please stop taunting me! I might have to do an "If the Internet was my Closet" post soon. Unfortunately for now, it's homework time. 

Peace out cub scout.

A Round-up of Shorts

Ha. Ha. I laugh at my own jokes. But do you get it? If not, you need to work on your pun-receptors people, a quarter of my wit is comprised of them. Blah blah bleep blop. Anyways...I have one pair of shorts that still fit me from last summer. One. Un. Uno. I'm a growin' gal! So, I decided to do a so called "round-up" of some shorts that I've been looking at for myself, and thought I'd share them with you. Yes, they are affordable. No, not always practical. But who cares? Practical can be defined differently for everyone anyways if you think about it. Just because my intents and purposes demand a different level or kind of practicality than someone else's, doesn't mean that I am automatically impractical, or vise-versa. Anywho... here they are. The list of champions. 

topshop-Multi Coloured Print Running Shorts

Running shorts, but cooler. Watercolor patterns make me so excited. It's hard to see but the ends of the drawstrings have weird little metal beads on them. It's the small things, people. 

urban outfitters-Pins and Needles Lace Tap Short

I've been wanting a pair of shorts like this for a while and these ones looked like they might just do the trick. Knowing me, I will probably sit on something nasty in the lunchroom the first time I wear them but, hey, ya can't always win as they say.

zara-Denim Boyfriend Bermudas in Yellow

Now these, these I am excited for. So many prospects. With a muscle tee, high-tops, motorcycle jacket, and copious amounts of strange jewelry. Say, "Holy Saggy Butt and Tye-Dyed Drop Crotch!" on three. Do you feel offended?

topshop-Moto Black Hotpants

I hereby give thee, practicality. Enjoy. Simple as a dimple. Clean as a spleen. Black as a yak. Frayed as a maid. 

So, there you have it, a roundup of sorts shorts. It's a small herd, but I'm sick and need some sleep. At least tomorrow I'll have some time to work on blogging. I'm feeling a bit of Sunday inspiration. Also, let me know how you would style these shorts! I want the people's voices to be heard! And anyways, I'm always interested to know or looking for new inspiration. Happy Spring!

Just you wait...

Sorry for the mini-absence these past few days. I've been loaded with schoolwork and have barely been able to get anything done! So I figured I'd write you all a little love note to prove that, no, I haven't forgotten about you. Hopefully I can finish up a post I've been working on and put it up tomorrow! Until then, enjoy this picture.

It's so simple but at the same time just...works. I got it off of  THIS amazing blog. 


Now, who's ready for the weekend?
