So this would be my first ever outfit post. I am in no way a fashion blogger, nor do I have or ever will have enough fashion sense to become one. I don't have the patience, money, or creativity to do all that, but I do enjoy a cute outfit when I see one. I got the shirt, skirt, and tights over break and felt the need to share them with the world.
I felt so awkward taking pictures of myself. Also, since I don't have a camera stand, I had to stand at really weird angles so I knew the camera got the whole outfit. That's my reasoning for looking like I'm about to fall over. Yes. I wore this today because I felt the need to welcome "spring quarter" with a "springy" outfit, hence the skirt. It was a bit nippy still so I had the black jacket which kind of detracted from the whole spring thing, but oh well.
skirt - forever 21 // shirt - target // tights - nordstroms // shoes - urban outfitters // jacket - mama
Still have puffy cheeks a bit but managed to hide them. And since it's a new quarter with "new beginnings" (I picture some cheesy professor saying this), these pictures have made me realize, I need to go to the gym. Not having a facebook and a bajillion pictures of yourself online makes it easy to forget these things.

As my spring break comes to an end, I have mixed feelings of sadness and extreme excitement. Even though I spent most of the week in misery from the wisdom teeth extraction, I ended up having a really relaxed break and spent some quality time with my family. I saw two of my best friends from high school (who I could trust not to laugh at my face) and finished Mockingjay!
Yesterday was probably the best day though. It was raining cats and dogs aaaaall day long. I'm not a big fan of rain. Or winter for that matter. So, to escape gloomy misery, my sister, Irene, and I headed to the mall. I replaced all of my ripped tights and bought two skirts & a dress from Forever 21 for under $30!!! Oh, how I love that store. Then we pigged out on a Cinnabon. De-LIC-ious!
The skies cleared almost the exact minute we pulled into our driveway at home. We decided to go for a walk and I saw that little beauty in the picture above on the roadside. Just lovely. Later we went to a $3 movie and saw Tangled...again...teehee. Just a perfect day with my sister.
Anyways, as I sit waiting for my laundry, I'm starting to plan out my new quarter that starts tomorrow. Looking forward to a photography class I decided to take at the last minute and possibly hosting my own radio show on the university radio station. Umm.....awesome! Also, with Picnic Day (a GIANT school festival/party), Whole Earth Festival, trips to San Fran, some concerts, and sunny weather, I am stoked. Oh and let's not forget more calculus, biology, and organic chemistry. Yay. -_-
Adieu! Let the rat race begin...again.

The sun is out! I am going to take advantage of this lovely brief encounter with the sun today, put on a flouncy skirt, and go out on the town with my sister. We're going to take a bike ride to midtown and have a lovely cup of coffee to celebrate this fine Friday weather. Hope you are all having as lovely a day as it is here!
P.S. I'm going to try and start posting pictures taken by my own hands in the next few posts. However, my cheeks are still a bit puffy and have developed yellow bruises as big as baseballs. In all honesty, I'm a bit embarrassed to go out in public, but I can't be a mole for this whole recovery process...

I'm back! Sorry for being gone for so long without any real explanation. Originally I needed a break from the distractions of the internet so I could focus on some decisions I was making in life (school, boys, my motivation, the usual college student girl stuff). Then midterms and finals came rolling around, so I decided just to continue my leave until they were over. And here I am, on spring break!
So, what have I been up to during these past couple of months? Well besides studying and trying to buckle down with school, not much. I haven't seen much of my band friends (remember the boy problems?....well there you go. Note to Self: Artsy-fartsy-musician boys may be fun, but cannot grasp reality or handle commitment.) However, after that I ended up making some new friends, reconnecting with old ones, going out on the weekends, and just enjoying life again!
I saw some pretty good movies that I never got to write about on the blog, so go watch these:
Tangled
Never Let Me Go
An Education
Watched the too short but hilarious show, Portlandia and both seasons of the hit British show, Misfits. SOOO GOOD! It's definitely rated R though, so you've been warned. I don't think they can put shows like that on American tv. (I also listened to a lot of Lily Allen while watching this show.)
And last but not least, today I got all four of my wisdom teeth pulled out. Yay -_- But I'll be spending the remainder of my break in bed, reading Mockingjay, by Suzanne Collins, the third & last installment of The Hunger Games. So excited! Hope you all have a lovely start of the week :)
P.S. I won these earrings in a giveaway on My Lovely Little Suitcase. So thank you Lane and Diane of The Rusty Schwinn! Can't wait to start wearing them :)
