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

Shine bright...

If you're reading this, yay to you for surviving the end of the world and being a badass!

Sorry for the lack of posts on here since being home.

It's just been family time here so I haven't had any time to post anything. I got home and the very next day I had a sister weekend which was amazing. I'll post about that soon hopefully.

I thought I would just give you guys some holiday spirit with the photos from the Fashion Team's holiday photoshoot "Handful of Glitter." If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen some sneaky peeks that I posted while it was happening. One of our models didn't show up and again I had to fill in, but I didn't mess it up! The photos turned out great and we had such a great time shooting. Smiles.

Happy holidays everyone! Hopefully I will see you all before Christmas, but if that doesn't happen then I wish you all an amazing holiday! xo

With one pretty song...

I'm sneaking in a post today since the rest of the week is busy as hell for me. Plus it'll be a nice addition to your hump day.

I'll be fine by this weekend though. Maybe I'll even have an outfit post for you. Smiles.

Anyway, I thought I'd just show what I'm into right now, clothing wise. Ooh this can be an Inspiration Wednesday! Haven't done one of those in a while.

By the way, I'm thinking about making my hair this silver blue color. It'll be difficult though, so I'm not sure. What do you guys think?

See you soon!
I have some Slug Style stuff coming soon and bits of my wish list will start going up next week. I can't wait to go home for Thanksgiving. xo

Feeding my flame...

I thought I'd finally show you guys how the fall shoot turned out. Sorry I haven't had time to post any outfits on here lately. Midterms have been annoying as usual and a lot of stuff has been going on.

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

I'd make my move...

"On October 3rd, he asked me what day it was..."

I do this every year and quote Mean Girls on here because I mean, you just have to, it's inevitable.

I realized I never posted about my sister's Disneyland birthday extravaganza, so I will be doing that now. I think it's perfect timing too since it was all Halloween-themed when we went, even though it was still the middle of September. Now it's finally October and Halloween is coming really soon. I need to figure out what I'm going to be.
It feels like I went to Disneyland like last week, I miss it so much even though it was hot as balls that day. There has been a heatwave in Santa Cruz the last couple of days so that really got me reminiscing about summer. I also miss my sister boo so this post is very well-timed. Plus I haven't done an outfit post in forever so here's one to get you through the day. Smiles.

I'll have some Santa Cruz-y posts coming up soon, I had to finish getting settled into my apartment and all that jazz. Also, classes started last week so I've been getting used to my schedule. A lot of fun things are going to be happening with Slug Style and Halloween coming up. I'm super excited.
See you all very soon. xo

P.S. A big ol' happy birthday shout out to my kindergarten buddy Jimmy Jam who turned 21 today! Love that guy. Smiles.

Paint my spirit gold...

Wow, I need to post more. Only two posts from September and today is the last day. Not good, Victoria!

Anyway, as you know, I am back up in Santa Cruz for my junior year of college which is really scary to say. Almost time for me to actually be an adult. But yeah, I'm living with Veronica again so I'm really happy about that. We started class last Thursday so it's been a pretty laid back weekend.

Some news. We got a Forever 21 up here which I knew would be a bad idea because I bought some stuff from there this weekend. Spending money, one of my many problems.
Also, I recently was asked to guest blog for the UC Santa Cruz street style blog Slug Style about back-to-school tips and trends to try. So you should go check it out here. They post pictures of the great street style seen around campus, and I'm trying to get more involved this year.

So the best season of the year is upon us, autumn, and I wanted to show you all what looks I'm looking forward to rocking. I love fall because it's on the border between warm and super cold. Some days it could be chilly and some days it's pretty nice and warm outside. You just never know, especially here in Santa Cruz. I'm just excited for this season and the coming months.
I guess you can look at this post as an Inspiration Wednesday of sorts, even though it is Sunday, but inspiration nonetheless. So enough of me talking, here's what I'm loving for fall.

As you can see, I've been really into grunge looks lately. You should see what my Tumblr looks like it's insane. But yeah, I'm kind of in lust with it. I'm a 90's kid so it's kinda in my blood already. Oh, and yes, Lua from Le Happy was shown twice because honestly, girl can do no wrong. Love her.

Hope you enjoyed. I think I'll be on here a lot more this month. I just feel like I'm letting you all down with the posts I've been writing recently. Hopefully that's not the case.
Again, check out Slug Style and my post here.
