Howdy Hi Hey Hello!

This is my uncle Tom [also featured here]. Tom has been really supportive of my blog, and is always asking if things are "starship worthy". [It makes me like the title of my blog even more.] I have gone on a few road trips with him and he is always willing to check out the local thrift stores with me. He kindly agreed to be my photographer during our excursions on this trip. He is the best :D

I posted a few photos from this day [here] if you want to see more of the beautiful landscape.

Keep it real and have a good rest of your week ^-^

velveeeet

Hello! I am going currently on a road trip to Sun Valley, Idaho. [hopefully I will see my sister!] So I will be less bloggy for a bit

So I went to my dance class like any ordinary day & this girl said "Isabel! I have a gift for you!" then she handed me a cute little paper bag that had an amazing BLACK VELVET FULL BODY SUIT! It is basically a unitard that is super rad & perfect. She gave it to me because whenever she wore it I would always go crazy. She told me she didn't like it that much and I loved it so she thought I should have it. so basically. best. week. ever. 

[Sorry that this is so boring, but since I am in the process of moving I had to pack it up and ship it off so I didn't have time to plan something cool out with it..]

Lazy Sunday..wake up in the late afternoon

HEY! Yesterday I was just dying over all these amazing colored hair jobs.. I think that I will dye mah hair when I move back to Minneapolis [26 days!!] I am thinking of bleaching it & maybe dying it light purple with darker purple, blue, and teal intermixed.. or perhaps I will keep it brown and then add red, or add some other colors.. basically I don't really know yet. 

I slept in today till noon todaaay! I wake up at 8am or earlier everyday, so that was a nice little gift to myself. mooore sleep! I looove sleep. 

Anyways I didn't have anything planned today so I made a video explaining how to tie a turban really easily. 

check it ouuuut:

also check out this post that my friend Patrick did [about me] on his flickr.

He is a good photographer so if you have a little bit of free time.. look at his stuff!

Haiiirrr troubles

Hello! So I will be doing a giveaway this week, so look for that in the future. 

I worked all morning/afternoon selling chocolates. Afterward I hung out with my cousin, Eli. We watched V for Vendetta.. which is an excellent movie.. As you all know I have been having hair issues lately. I am trying to grow it out, but in the mean time I want to have some kind of chaaange!

I wish my hair looked like this:

Velvet Studded Hearts

Dyed-Hair

Dyed-Hair

Scavanger Type

 ok so, what do you think? Is there ANY way I could dye my hair in a cool way like these people? I feel like since my hair is short it has the possibility of looking gross, cheap, trashy, or weird if I dye it in a bad way..

I hope you are having a rad weekend!

change, change

Hello! Blogger was broken yesterday but it seems to be all good now. hopefully.

Lately I have been wearing scarves in my hair almost every day.. this is because my hair is in a super awkward stage. I am trying to grow it out, and it is now in the mop/beatles stage. 

 It was beautiful out today..

sunny & warm with a light breeze :)

turban - mom's old shawl

top & skirt - ARC Value Village

wedges - Urban Original

Don't try wearing new shoes without socks right after you get them.. you will get huge blisters >.<

yaow.

Have a nice weekend!!

I think I am going to start a revolution.

Helloo! Blogger is deleting posts and has been acting weird for the past couple of days.. so I will try to recreate a deleted post for you..  

I have been trying to identify key themes in my personal style.. and I think the best way to describe it is: grunge-hippie-90's-layered-gypsy.
ummm.. yeah. maybe? I am not sure that I like that definition yet. 

turban & jean vest - ARC Vale Village
sweatshirt & tights - Target
dress - H&M
