CHILDHOOD


I talked to my best friend Sonja yesterday, which was amazing!! She moved to Germany and is doing cool things there, but I miss her loads. 

Have a good Wednesdayyyy! wednesdayhumpday!

Today I decided to wear lots of things that one might not normally combine.. this is what I came up with:


 This top has cowboys & wild west scenes on it. It used to be my brother's pajamas when he was maybe 4 or 5, there were matching bottoms. 

 It is SO much fun to walk like this on creepers.. just sayin'


 Isn't this jacket rad? I just got it at Value Village about a week ago!!!


 [lookbook]
fringe bag necklace & beaded necklace - from mom/childhood
cowboy top - brother's old
dress & jacket - thrifted
tights - Heartbreaker
creepers - online

woohooooo. I decided I am going to just dress like this everyday.. I am going to start pairing weird things together (leopard print, american flag, black, studs, pink, (faux) fur, plaid, floral..all at the same time..) because this outfit just made me super happy.. 
Lately I have been inspired by little kids who wear all their clothes at once, as well as my good friend Jake's wardrobe, and also from r.a.n.d. as well as Lexi from Quirky Explosion.

Peace.

Bitter Heart

Hello! Happy weekend everybodyy!!

Last night was gorgeous. A group of friends and I biked to a midnight showing of The Room. Which is a cult movie.. so people were shouting out additional lines, hurling plastic spoons at the screen whenever one of the many spoon paintings was shown, and tossing about a football whenever they played with one in the movie. Then we biked back to our school, it was such a beautiful night and the weather was amazing. I LOVE BIKING IN THE TWIN CITIES!!!

Today I biked around and I found a good spot to take pictures.. but not without the usual awkward fashion blogger moments.. (people looking at you like you are weird, feeling super aware of all the people around you.. yeah. funzies.)

plaid button down - dad's
lace top - Heartbreaker
shorts & belt - Arc's Value Village
creepers - onliiine


I dyed my hair on Tuesday night with manic panic! yayay. 
Oh! My picture was in the fashion section of my school newspaper!
Also.. shout out to Larissa whose birthday was yesterday!!! She has super rad style so you should check her ouuut.

The title of this post comes from this song off of Mason Jennings' new album. He is amazing:

Heyyy there. I hope everything is going well for you all! 
Today is two of my best friends' birthdays, and tomorrow is my best best best friend's birthday. So many happy birthday wishes going all around the world.

I have been more busy the past few weeks than I have ever been in my life, literally. My new college is so rigorous, I go from class to class, and do homework constantly.. I am trying to meet people too, but it is much easier than it was last year in Portland. yay!

Here is a picture from one of the many college events I have been to this month.. I am with my friend Ilana:
I have been listen to Lykke Li so much lately, she is so lovely and her music is perfect.. I am going to see her in concert in November, IAMSOEXCITED!

I told you I was thinking about doing more videos, and so I did one:

My roommate took pictures of my outfit today, what a nice gal.

I bleached my hair on Saturday, can you tell :)
Watch out, it is about to change again... yayayayayayyyy!

Hi Hi Hi. Sorry I haven't been posting as often, I am just trying to get in the groove of my new life.. This post is going to be kind of an odd assortment of media. I hope everything is going well for you all, and that you are enjoying life.
