Back At School

Hey dudes!

Since we last spoke, I've moved back into school! Moving in is always awful for my anxiety, but my room looks super cool. Classes haven't started yet, but I'm all moved in to my dorm, and I'm excited to start my senior year. I'm taking a drawing class in anatomy (will be sketchin nudes, penises and all), one on heroes and antiheroes (idek), art history on the italian renaissance, marketing, weight lifting, and some senior thesis stuff. I know I'm gonna be bad at anatomy... I can draw nudes all day, but I'm no good at getting things precise and scientific. At least I can bond with my friends over how awkward it'll be drawing that 70 year old model.

I'm also super jazzed to have my air all bright again! It looks so cool in these pictures I just wanna grin. It matches my dress perfectly, and I was real pleased to pair it with my new vintage leather vest and spikey necklace.

I got my first drive-by compliment today on these tights. "I like yo leggins, gurl!"

I shouted back, "thankyou!"

I noticed that my posts have started showing up in my own feed in reader. Are you guys still seeing them okay? Maybe it has something to do with me scheduling the posts. Let me know! I just want to make sure nothing is going wrong.

Working on some art at my desk.

My pretty art wall before I dismantled it and packed it away!

Kit being a cutie...

...and a not-so-cutie.

Sweet glitter dust I found in my Grandma's attic.

Posing in the driveway.

Dramatic sky.

Super-sweet nails.

Also, if any of you guys need some student grade oil paints (or know someone who does) let me know, I've got a ton of barely-used supplies.

What have you guys been up to this week?

Art Lately

Here's some artwork I've been doin lately!

Here's a sassy lady who don't care.

Some ladies in love.

A thankyou card for the helpful people at my work.

And finally, a pair of headers for the lovely Jesi of Willow and Pear! Check out her adorable family on her lifestyle blog...

And her photo blog here!

Be sure to hit me up for any portraits/blog headers you want! I just got real freed up! Check out my shop for details. All the vintage is on super sale, and anything that doesn't sell will be unlisted. Get it while it's there!

Ballin

BOO.

Just a couple little pictures for you today of my outfit: a super girly vintage dress that I tried to edge-ify with black, studs, and leather. What does "edgy" mean anyway? On the edge of what?

I've got a busy busy weekend ahead of me. Today is my last day at work (Halleluiah), Thursday we are moving my sister into her new apartment at school, Friday I'm visiting with my bf, and Saturday I'm moving back into my dorm! How uncool is it that I am a senior still living in a dorm? You can thank Winthrop's tiny campus and my roomates' paranoid mothers for that.

Dress: Vintage

Necklace, Crown: DIY

Shoes: Target

"Belt": A scrap from Grandma's sewing room

I thought my makeup looked ballin today. My Mom is trying to keep me at home by showering me in eyeliner and chocolate, so I've got some cool turquoise and gold stuff to try out this week. I'm going to miss my family (and cat) but it will be nice to be back at school. I can't believe it's my senior year! I can't believe I wish I had more college years ahead.

I won't miss this cat, though.

Strawberry Fields

Get it? Because I'm wearing strawberries and I'm in a field.

I took these pictures in a random field in North Carolina, where my Mom's side of the family lives. We hung out with my aunts and Grandma today, and it was a lot of fun! They gave me sewing tips and treated me to thrift store goodies, so. I mean, yeah, they also complained about old lady problems (namely saggy boobs) but it was a good time!

My Mom and sister humored me by stopping to take my blog pictures (thankyou guyz) and I got my shoes all muddy. Mom was my photographer, and she is ACE at jumping shots. I mean it.

Friggin beautiful scenery on the drive to Grandma's.

Handprinted shirt: All me, baby! Get yours in my shop

Skirt, Necklace: F21

All the Details

Sometimes I wish I was one of those artsy minimalistic girls with all white walls, super chic basic clothes, and a  flickr account. I'm so not, but these photos made me feel like it for just a sec. (Maybe too many smiles here tho).

Some of you might be cringing at this outfit because you can straight up see my bra. If that bugs you, you'll have to forgive me. I was comfortable, and while I have no problem with modesty (sartorial or otherwise), I don't necessarily see the need for it. I like showing off my body sometimes.

This is Tuck. He's my sister's cat, and definitely the pretty boy of the two. He's a total butthead, though, always bullying my Kit and biting my ankles in the hallway.

Did you notice I'm wearing jeans? It's been like an entire year. American Eagle is selling high rise jeggings, and I got these on sale for $30 during tax free weekend. I <3 jeggings.

Yesterday I was out trying to take some decent pictures and this cloud of fucking gnats kept harassing me. I actually ran around the house and they just followed me, and were even waiting by the camera after I went inside to get the bug spray (which they were impervious too, btw). In the taller grass there were a ton of spiders, the crawly brown kind that don't make webs, and while I'm not a total pansy when it comes to bugs, I was getting pretty skeeved out. I saw this millipede lookin mofo and that's when I gave up. Nature, why you gotta play me like that? I'm definitely not a bug person. You might say "Ugh who is?" But there are plenty of them. And my roomate is like their queen.
