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.

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.

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

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

It's time to begin...

I'll keep this a little brief because I didn't really have anything planned to talk about today. I just felt like blogging. I feel really bad because the month is almost over and I haven't blogged once.

Life lately has kinda been a little blah, so my upcoming posts will be about some things that happened over the last couple of weeks. I need to update you all on that stuff.

Anyway, so last Sunday I was doing a little shopping on Melrose for a dress to wear to a wedding we were going to, and as I was walking past some shops, a lady stopped me and asked to take a photo of my outfit for her website. The store Love Melrose launched their website that day and I was featured for my street style along with three other girls. 

It was such a little thing but I felt special because I take every day as an opportunity to express myself through what I wear and I felt that my work was appreciated. I've never been featured on a website before. It was nice. Smiles.
