Dancing through the fire...

Yes we are well into November and I'm barely posting about shenanigans from Halloween.

It's been a busy couple of weeks with midterms and working and all that good stuff. I feel like I'm always making excuses on here and it makes me mad. 

I love talking to you guys about my life and showing you what I'm up to. I promise this month will be better. So here's a little quick post from Halloween night.

There wasn't much time to take pictures since we were havin' a ball but I did the best I could. We mainly just hung out in downtown Santa Cruz which was insane since they close off Pacific Ave. on Halloween night. I hung out with some awesome peeps at the Red Room and it was great.

As for my costume, I knew I wanted to be a zombie of some sort because Veronica is amazing at doing the make up for it and also why wouldn't you want to be a zombie? Duh. Plus I didn't really want to have to buy a costume so I just looked in my wardrobe and found a lumberjack outfit. Plus it was functional and comfortable enough to wear downtown, walking a lot and gettin' dranks and all that jazz. Smiles.

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

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.

Then they dive in it...

So I told you a couple weeks ago that I was going to do some fun Halloween projects this month with Slug Style. I've only been part of the club and going to meetings for a couple of weeks, but it's been really fun so far. It's nice to hang out with people that share the same interests as you and to get inspired by people's ideas that you've never really thought about before. We're starting to get our shiz together about becoming an official club on campus since we're still kind of a baby at the moment. But I'm really excited about what's to come and all the projects we're going to do this year.

Last week, we had our first photoshoot of the year and it was pretty much a success. We all came together  and worked hard but also had great fun. When we were in planning mode, I took the role of stylist with a couple of other people for the shoot. We all went thrifting downtown to look for pieces to style. The shoot was obviously planned for Halloween but the actual theme was "wearable witch" which was right up my alley. Every look we styled I wanted so badly, even though I knew most of it wouldn't have fit me. However, I did somehow end up being one of the models for the shoot because of people not showing up and what not. Yeah, that's me in the hat. Go me doing two jobs!
Veronica did the make up for the shoot (on her birthday no less) and she did a great job. We celebrated later that night with burgers and milkshakes (what else?). Oh and we also did a little impromptu photoshoot that night. It looked so creepy outside, we just had to. Anyway, I thought I'd show you some behind the scenes shots Veronica and I took before and during the shoot. The last one is a little preview I posted on Instagram. Can't wait to show you the final shots. Smiles.

I'm trying to get into the hang of blogging again, at least once a week. It's just been really hard recently especially because I had midterms this week.
But I love you guys and I hope you are having a great October! xo

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.
