I fly through my mind, I take the way I've known...

Sometimes I forget about hobbies, this weird thing humans do when they happen to get break from life and being adults.

I recently had a chat with one of my bests from high school and we both are in that place where all we feel like we're doing is working and sleeping and it's something I do not like at all. I've realized (with a little help and a nudge from a loved one and just thinking about where I am right now) that I need a hobby that's not related to things I do on the daily. I consider blogging a hobby, even though I may not do it often. Also wearing what I wear and taking the time to choose certain outfits and taking photos of them I also consider a hobby. But again, these are things I do every day. For work I'm on a computer 8-9 hours a day which can get old after a while, which is why blogging has been getting put on the back burner even though I very much enjoy doing it.
I've been writing a lot and thinking about things to post on here about, even if they may not be style related. A wonderful YouTuber I happen to be best friends with (and miss very much) said in a video that writing everything down no matter how silly is a great way to stay yourself even though everything outside of that is chaos. 

 So a couple weeks ago, I did two fun things and had amazing days because I was doing things I enjoyed. The honey and I went on our first trip to Disney together and it was magical and all kinds of awesome. That one is self-explanatory, I cannot wait to go again.
That same week, I did an art thing, which I have not done since my birthday in January. Sometimes I forget why I chose to be an art history major in college so reminders of that really make me happy. My sister and I took a trip to Silver Lake to see what everyone and their mother have been taking photos of since April. If you follow me on Instagram, then you know I went a little cray in taking photos of Projection by artist Vincent Lamouroux. Basically, he took a dilapidated motel, lovingly called "The Bates Motel" on Sunset and covered it entirely in a whitewash, including the palm trees. And of course, it has attracted lost of attention as anything new does in Los Angeles. It's a great disruption and contrast of the way we see things and also a cool backdrop for my photos. I loved that we got to see it when it was gloomy out.

Forget about the world...

We all know Halloween is coming soon, but I have yet to decide what I am going to dress up as. I have a couple ideas, but if you know me, then you know I can't make decisions for the life of me. There are so many things I want to be for Halloween but unfortunately, Halloween is only one day and I have to choose just one main one. If you don't know what your costume is yet like me, I have some inspiration for you today.

So I love Disney movies and the way they make me feel when I watch them. Even at 20 years old, I would buy anything that has the Disney princesses on it, especially Snow White. I was Snow White for Halloween in my junior year of high school and that was fun times. Now I'm not going to be a princess this year, but if I were, I found a cool way to change it up.

I first saw these on Tumblr and then did some Google magic and found where they actually came from. It's a set of art drawings entitled "Twisted Princess" by this artist Jeffrey Thomas. He basically took every lead female from most of the Disney movies we all know and love and warped them and made them look extra creepy and badass and it's fantastic. There are nineteen drawings in total. They are really amazing, definitely worth checking out. I can't post all nineteen on this so here are some of my favorites.

You guys should definitely check out the rest of them on Jeffrey Thomas's blog by clicking here.

Hopefully this was a good Inspiration Wednesday for you guys. Talk to you soon. xo

Don't judge me on the song choice guys, just sharing my guilty pleasures with ya'll. Smiles.

Feet upon the ground...

Hello my dears!

I thought I would finally post something this month since we're about halfway through September already. A lot of stuff has been going on, I've been spending time with my loves, packing for school, and just finishing out my summer as best I can. I went to Disneyland yesterday with my sister and Geo to celebrate her birthday and it was great fun. I will post about that really soon. It's my last week in good old Monrovia so I'll be a busy bee.

So some news: I chopped all my hair off and it's really different but it's new and I love me some change. If you follow me on Instagram, you probably have seen it already, but I will post a picture of the before and after at the end of this post.

Today I've decided to just show you what's been going on in my life through Instagram. Smiles.

New hair yay!

I'll see you guys really soon. xo

What do tigers dream of...

TGIF.

Today was the beginning of my last weekend in Santa Cruz until my sophomore year at UCSC. I absolutely love that I have no class on Friday so I slept in and it felt great.

First, I went with Veronica to see her art piece for her drawing class on display along with everyone else's art at Open Studios and we took some fun pictures.

Let me just mention my outfit; yes, I am wearing a blazer and hat in June. Yeah, Santa Cruz, it's June, get your weather right.

Then - ice cream and The Hangover Part II.

It was actually super funny, but of course, not as good as the first. Loved seeing Mr. Bradley Cooper doing his hot thing on the screen.

Yes, I would say it was a great day.

By the way, I am loving my bangs right now.

Is it any wonder...

This pleasantly beautiful day was filled with art and then later with family. My art history class went on a little field trip to the Getty Villa in Malibu and used the intellect we learned about different pieces of art. I used to laugh at those people who knew the artist and time period of a piece of art, and now I am one of those people.
After the trip, my parents and I went to my cousin's first birthday. I totally ate too many Elmo cupcakes, and red cake. I basically love sweets.
