Happy Thursday

The weather is nice.

I'm glad the weekend is coming up, and whaddya know, it also happens to be my Fall Break! Unfortunately it doesn't coincide with my sister's or boyfriend's, and my parents will be working, so I'll be on my own. But that definitely has it's perks too.

Lately I feel like I've watched everything Netflix has to offer... that would interest me anyway. I've watched Ugly Betty, Scrubs, Gossip Girl, Orange is the New Black, and Bob's Burgers, and I'm watching New Girl, The Mindy Project, Parks and Rec, and Top Model on Hulu. I've been wanting some good animes to watch, but if you have any recommendations for me I'd love to hear them!

DIY Halloween Nails

Hey guys! In an effort to make this blog a little more interesting for you guys, and because it's October, I made a cutesy little manicure DIY. Of skulls. You'll need white, black, and red polish for this, and I used a combination of toothpicks and a paintbrush.

So here's the basics:

Start with a circle.

Add little notches at the bottom for the skull's teeth.

Add 4 black circles for the eyes and nose.

If you want to add a heart, start with a diagonal stroke like this.

Add another to make a V.

Use black to add lines for the arrow.

Finally, add the ends of the arrow!

Pretty cute, imo. If you try it, I'd love to see your links!

Thug in a Pinafore

My sister told me this beanie made me look like a thug.

Today I have kindof a combo my-outfit/nature-photography post for you, from Sunday when I spent the day with my two favorite people at the State Capitol Park. Luckily, its not operated by the federal government, so we could still hang out there and eat our pizza. There was also like a biker gang appreciation thing going on and all these motorcyclists were on the steps of the building singing the national anthem.

I've got a bunch of fun faces in this photoset! My sister took all the pictures of me (and continues to prove her skill at things that she doesn't care about doing).

My new hair makes everything looks so much brighter! It makes me want to wear neutrals and monochrome.

And here's my best thug face. Where'd my eyebrows even go?

This Week I...

How about you guys!

Blogger Friends!

Omg Happy Friday, guys!

I am so glad this week is over. I hate thinking that way, because I consider myself to be pretty painfully aware that we as humans only get one life, and it's annoying to think I'm impatient for any part of it to pass. But I had a lot to deal with! The worst of which was a critique on my senior thesis from an old teacher of mine. She's a really amazing, inspirational woman, but she does not hesitate to tell it like it is. And she saw one of my sample dresses and was like "No." I think the word "disgusting" was used, and though she gave me a lot of helpful advice, it wasn't a nice meeting. Don't throw me a pity party or anything, though! I know that's just one opinion, and I'm going to keep going with my clothing collection! (I am really proud of myself for not crying tho.)

Anyway, I had a ton of fun yesterday hanging out with my fellow fashion blogger on campus, Sarah!

I was so excited to meet with Sarah! We had a lot of fun talking about fashion and blogging and art-kid stuff!  I took these photos for her, and though I'm no photographer (her boyfriend takes her photos for her a lot, and he actually does fashion photography), we got some good shots, I think! She wears a lot of thrift store stuff, has super cute style, and is like, the nicest person. Why aren't you following her yet? Go do that!

Bring On The Tights

Today I had to completely scrap a commission I did for a friend of Mom's at work. Then I couldn't figure out how to find the book I needed in the library. Then while walking back to my room I dropped my binder. This was the worst because somehow the rings popped open and all my papers were on the pavement! And I'm all "UGH" while people are walking past me like "Excuse me."

But some good stuff happened too. I got some work done. And the weather was nice. While walking back from taking these photos, a car pulled up beside me, full of these big dudes. I was scared, duh, but there were just like "...You need any help?"

I swear I'm tryna think up something creative for blog posts, but I've been so busy. All dat homework and senior thesis junk! I'm just gonna throw conditioner on my hair, maybe paint some, and call it a day.
