And if you close your eyes...

Slowly but surely getting to post more on here. It may not seem like it to you, but I am. Just wanted to do a quick post on some awesomeness I was given recently.

As you may know, earlier this month I turned 22. I feel like I've been celebrating this entire month because I would receive random gifts from people I love, including Veronica. She got me these wolf tattoo tights and I was ecstatic. If you don't know about about my extreme love of wolves, now you do. Smiles.

Aren't they amazing? I went to work in them and a bunch of people thought I had a thigh tattoo. I've definitely thought about a thigh tattoo or just a tattoo in general but I'm still debating on what I would get. But it's a possibility for sure.
Anyway, thought I would share this with you guys. I'll have a real outfit post for you soon.

We jumped never asking why...

I can't believe it's been almost a month since I've posted on this.

Life has been grand in every which way, trying to balance my time between school life, work life, and my social life. It's a struggle but for the first time in a while, I'm extremely happy with pretty much everything. And that's that. I'm just happy.

I just wanted to post about my lady love bester's 21st birthday that happened over a week ago.
Her birthday basically spanned over a whole weekend and I hope she had a grand time. We've been waiting for both of us to be 21 for almost four years now and I just feel like this is one of the many milestones we'll hit together. I never expected to get a best friend in college but here she is. I can honestly say I wouldn't have been able to get through the past three years without her. But enough of the sappy. Smiles.

I got to wear my new favorite dress on her birthday night. A week beforehand, I had treated myself and splurged on some UNIF and I have no regrets. This dress is everything to me and it's even on display in my room. Is that too much?

This last photo is us celebrating at midnight. And it's basically my favorite picture.

Only two posts in October, I know. That's really bad. But the holidays are coming up and I'm stoked.
I'll really try and post more on here because I do miss it when I haven't in a while.

See you soon. xo

Watch me as I glide...

It's that time of year again, everyone! 

It's the time when we look back at the memories we've made this past year, whether it's the adventures or the mistakes, and we wipe that clean and start over. Smiles.

2012 was pretty good for me, unexpected but pretty good. I always say unexpected is a good thing. If everything was predictable, we'd lead boring lives and that's not fun. So I hope 2012 was good for you guys too. Here are my favorite moments.

May 2013 be even better. xo

You do it well...

It's 12/12/12 guys! And I am officially done with my finals and I'm going home tomorrow morn!

Now I have to finish packing. Oops.

But here you go! An outfit post finally!

This past weekend, Veronica and I went to two flea markets in Santa Cruz and had a grand old time. We bought some gifts for people and some other gifts for ourselves. Smiles.

I know it's like the middle of the week and I'm barely posting about the weekend but finals have been shit basically, to put it bluntly. I've really missed talking to you guys about my life and what not though.

Stuck in her daydream...

It's November hooray!

So Halloween happened a couple days ago. Unfortunately it was a Wednesday - Hump Day.

Some of you probably had some jammin' plans however, this girl curled up with some scary movies and lots of candy. It was great.

Veronica and I kinda celebrated last Friday when we covered this Halloween dance event at school for Slug Style. We got photos of the great costumes, you can see them here. Unfortunately, we didn't have real costumes since we were working but why let that put a damper on the celebration? We showed up in serious zombie make up and it was awesome. Veronica did both of our faces for the night. We got a lot of looks when we were there. I would seriously rock this look if it wasn't so disgusting. Smiles.

Yes I know it's the middle of the week, but I still want to tell you about my super fun weekend!
I told you all last week that we had a heatwave in Santa Cruz. Well the next day, it got colder, so it's finally fall here yay. It hasn't been too cold yet so it's pretty nice.
Anyway so on Friday, Veronica and I went on a little date downtown and went to see The Perks Of Being A Wallflower. I'm still reading the book, but I couldn't wait, and it was totally fine. Okay, I am so in love with this movie! I can't even explain it. From what I've read so far, it stayed pretty close to the book, and Veronica read the whole thing and she loved it too. Just go see it. It might become one of your favorite movies.

I felt like this weekend was just all shopping. Wow that sounds really bad, but it really was just a lot of shopping. Saturday was dedicated to Target as you can see. I can seriously spend hours in that amazing place. Their Halloween stuff is out now too so Veronica and I went crazy. We filmed a little Halloween haul over on her channel which is going up soon. I'll link it in this post later when it's up. Smiles.
On Sunday, we basically spent the entire day thrifting and vintage shopping. I was so exhausted afterwards. Shopping takes a lot out of you, I'm serious. First, we went to Bargain Barn, which is just a warehouse full of goodies basically and went through everything. We were very happy with what we found, I'll tell you that. There might be a haul coming on that stuff too. Later we met up with some Slug Style buddies to look for some photoshoot inspiration. I won't give anything away yet, but I can tell you I'm very excited. I can't wait.

I might be starting up Inspiration Wednesday again soon, and posting some Halloween-y things for you too. I want to celebrate it as much as I can this year since I didn't have the time last year.
So yeah, I hope you guys had an amazing weekend too. xo

Here's our haul from Target. Smiles.

I'll only stay with you...

Yesterday was my amazing sister's birthday. We celebrated all week and it was pretty bittersweet because I left for school today. I am blogging in a hotel room as we speak.

Last night, Rosee came with me as my date and we went out for drinks with my sis and some of her friends at King's Row Gastropub in Old Town Pasadena. I've gotta say, it's my new favorite night time place. It was pretty hoppin'. I had a great time and she had a great time and I'm glad.

I was really happy I got to celebrate her birthday with her. Since I've been in college we've always celebrated in Santa Cruz every year, but somehow this year it worked out. I love that lady.

I'm going to miss her a lot. xo

See you all again soon, and I'll be in Santa Cruz then! Smiles.

Here we are, just runaways...

There are things that make me happy. Photoshoots with Rosee Rose make me happy.

A couple weeks ago, Rose and I did a photoshoot just for funsies. Plus I wanted to get shots of my ombré before I cut my hair. So all we knew that it was hot as balls outside. What we didn't know was that it was 102 degrees. However, despite that we had a jammin' time shooting like we always do. She's so great at what she does and making me look good. I think they turned out great.

I hope a summer photoshoot with Rose becomes a tradition for us. I love that lady.

So this past weekend we celebrated my mom's 59th birthday. I love that woman. I want to look like her when I'm 59. She's the best and cutest mom ever. Smiles.

We had lunch in Burbank yesterday and then saw The Bourne Legacy which I enjoyed. Her actual birthday is today so my parents and I had lunch before my dad went to work. I spent the entire day with my mom. It was nice.

Some updates:

- I bought The Hunger Games on DVD last week and I've seen probably fifty times already. Smiles.

- Cool things are happening, cool things like guest blogging and night shoots. Can't wait to show you.

- I've been reading a lot lately. I forgot how much I love it.

- Fall is coming soon. I am ecstatic for knits and boots.

- I'm having a big thrift store shopping day soon with the besties Jeff and Eddie. Yay clothes!

See you beautiful people very soon. xo

I'm trying to get a hold on this...

I forget how much I love blogging until I actually see a blank space in front of me.

I miss telling you guys about what's going on in my life and all that jazz. I mean there's Twitter but it's completely different. I've actually been so busy for the past couple of weeks. We said goodbye to Andy last week but also welcomed Panchy into town. I hadn't seen her in so long since she moved to Portland. We've had so much fun this past week, she's going back tomorrow. Also tomorrow, I'm going to Bakersfield to see my girl Veronica since I haven't gone to visit her yet and she's driven to Monrovia four times already. It's my turn.

I figured I would just show you guys what I've been up to, and what better way than through my Instagram pictures. There have been lots of drives with Christine, slurpees from 7-Eleven, and late nights, which make for an amazeballs summer so far.

xo
By the way, has the Olympics taken over your tv life like it has mine? I love it so much. My tweets prove that. Obsessed.

Oh and this new song by No Doubt is basically the best thing ever. How I have missed them. Smiles.

There's nothing I would change...

Part 2 of the Veronica Extravaganza

I know the posts from Veronica's visit are kind of sporadic and I apologize for that. There's just stuff happening in between that I have to blog about so yeah. So about two weeks ago we went to Warped Tour in Pomona. It was my third year in a row going so it's sort of become a tradition. I've gone with the Andy man every year and we have welcomed a Veronica into our two-person club. Smiles.

I didn't get as sore as I have gotten in previous years from pushing and hitting people because most of the bands we watched this year didn't require that from where we were standing. But my shoulders are basically black. My arms and my forehead were the only parts of my body that got tan. However, I still had one of the best times I've had at Warped ever because I was with my shenanigan buddies. 

My middle school and high school dreams came true since we saw The Used, Yellowcard, Taking Back Sunday, and All Time Low. I was super pissed that we missed You Me At Six since they let us in late. It didn't make shit of sense because doors opened at 11:30am but their set time was at 11:10am. But what can you do?

So in last year's Warped Tour post, I told you all about this little band Andy and I literally stumbled upon called It Boys! and we ended up loving them. We saw them again this year and that was fun. But anyway, the same thing happened this year. We saw this UK band We Are The Ocean and I fell in love, not only with their music, but some of the band members as well. They were at the entrance telling people to watch them and we ended up seeing them. They were great and meeting them was fun, plus they're not hard to look at. Very handsome men. Smiles.

It was such a great time. It won't be the same next year without Andy since he'll be gone on his mission, but we'll definitely be there in his honor. I really want to go back and relive this day, it was amazing.
