I honestly have no idea when these were taken. I was uploading photos and all of the sudden these appeared. Alter ego?

SpringFest at my college this weekend. Things are about to get weird. :)

P.S. Sorry about the lack of life over here. Writers block must come from piles of school work and exhaustion. For me it does at least.

One twelve page sociology paper.

Three two page communication papers.

One persuasive speech for public speaking.

That's all I have to say. That's all I can say. 

I love you all!

California Here I Come

Today was the first day in a long time that I was able to sleep in. It was glorious. Today also happened to be my nineteenth birthday. As much as I wish I could have spent it in New York with my college friends. It was quite nice to spend time home with my family whom I have not seen in almost two months. I saw Skyfall, and ate a our local, very yummy, sea food restaurant. Mexican Salad with lobster, yum yum ! It's so nice to be able to relax, and have absolutely nothing to do. I don't remember feeling like this since I was just a little girl, before the school work began to pile on. A truly peaceful feeling.

Outfit isn't from today... although I did photograph my birthday outfit. I liked it quite a lot and I cannot wait to post it up ! My local Bronx thrift store has been quite good to me. Anywho, these shorts are my best ebay find ever. There was absolutely no way I was buying them for full price. As much as I absolutely love Free People - their catalogues are so beautiful inspiring - their clothing is ridiculously expensive. When I found these shorts on eBay, I couldn't believe it. They were twenty dollars cheaper, and suddenly only in the slightly pricey range rather than costing an arm and a leg. I was instantly sold. Although I was nervous about whether or not it would be the real product, I was lucky enough to open the package and have beautiful floral cut-off Free People shorts in my hands ! A wonderful online shopping/eBay experience. :)

I am currently watching the Grinch, and tumbling away. Free to do what I please. Sighs of happiness coming from over here. :)

shoes, second-hand, Love Saves the Day

The dress is actually a maternity dress I do believe. I love love love it.  

I found out that those shoes are new on the market. I got them for a great price at a second-hand store.

I am so excited to do a California haul... I buy so much out here ! It's basically my back to school shopping.  

La !

I'm feeling really good about this summer. I don't remember the last time I could sleep in until ridiculous hours, then get up and watch stupid reality tv shows, and then do it all over again the next day. I also get to go to flea markets, go to the beach, go basically anywhere. It's a refreshing ability. 

A little bit about the outfit... I love that sparkly stone necklace. I picked it up when I worked at a summer camp last year; we went to an old mine. It was actually the mine used in Zoolander, fun fact of the day. 

The cardi I typically wear as a belt more than anything. The sleeves are so long I can tie it into a bow. It's much much too hot for sweaters anyway. 

Make up wise, I've adopted very basic neutral looks. I used to do the whole shebang, eyes cheeks lips and then some. My skin rioted, and now that it's recovered I'm much more careful. Pink lips and a light shimmer on the eyes, with a swipe of mascara, and then a swish of blush. 

That's that. I'm in the mood to blog. It was months in the making, and now I finally feel the true motivation.
