Because it's all so clear...

So I guess October in Santa Cruz means being incredibly hot as balls outside.

Veronica got a couple shots of me with my trusty water bottle before class yesterday. I'm still feelin' a little sniffly and gross so this is the best I can do.

Updates:

- I've started my Christmas Lust/Wish List. It's going very well. Smiles.

- I found a great blouse at Salvation Army yesterday and all clothes were 50% off. I can't wait to wear it.

- I've added a few inspirational wedding dresses to my wedding folder on my computer (we all have one, ladies it's okay). I should do a post about it one day.

- I have some new obsessions: Jenny Packham and Tyler Shields' photography. Enough said.

- Oh and new crushes, Will Arnett and Colton Haynes. Love.

- The Vampire Diaries is on tonight. And you know I love me some vampires. I would love to do a photoshoot like this.

Anyway, I think it's time for a trip back home. I'm sick as well as homesick.

Talk to you soon. xo

It's a Simple Plan kind of day. Smiles.

Sing a sad song just to turn it around...

Last weekend of my first year at college in Santa Cruz meant do as much as we can in the city in one day.

I guess you can say Veronica and I had the best and the worst day ever.

We went shopping around downtown yesterday, looking for things to buy and we did. I had a good haul from Salvation Army of course, and an awesome necklace from Crossroads Trading Co. I can't tell you how much I love that store.

Friday night, we went into Urban Outfitters and Veronica and I found a gorgeous nail color and I had to think about it but we finally bought it yesterday. Mine was a cool periwinkle blue called "Crowded" and hers was a peachy apricot one called "Hangover." We took pictures of them at Pizza My Heart where we ate yummy pizza. The guy in the corner of the picture was this cutie who was dressed pretty classy with a coat, newsboy hat, and glasses, reading a book outside the restaurant. Cutest thing ever.

Which brings me to our outfits. Layers in June. It was raining and windy and cold. I was wearing a depths of the winter outfit and I did not like that one bit. Is this how Santa Cruz works? Hot in February and cold in June? Well, alright.

Last part of the day, Veronica's car was towed in the Trader Joe's parking lot which I thought was absolutely ridiculous. We were there for more than three hours so we were towed. I wonder how many cars they tow a day. A parking lot is a parking lot. So that whole tow thing does not make any sense to me.

But yes, a bittersweet day.

There's a fire starting in my heart...

Veronica likes to take Hipstamatic pictures of me.

One is from a couple weeks ago and one was from today. I think they look pretty cool.

I can't wait until I have my own iPhone so I can take my own Hipstamatic pictures.

But anyway. Today, we went downtown. I didn't want to spend any money (any more money), but of course I bought something once again.

I got a great vintage blazer from Salvation Army. It's like my 12,000th black blazer but it's different. I say that about all my blazers. This had white lapels that look like lightning bolts. I couldn't just leave it there.

I can't wait to wear it. Smiles.
