Olsen Twinns

Hello! So I finally got a job. So far it is good. The only problem is I keep getting anxiety attacks. I have not really had a problem with anxiety before, but they are hitting me quite often recently. Sometimes I wake up and I am sweating like crazy, and I've had really terrible dreams a few nights in a row. Thank goodness for my friends who are able to help me come down from the midst of an anxiety attack. I think I might want to get medicine for them if they keep happening. One minute I am fine then all of a sudden I realize my heart has started racing. Mostly I just try to focus on breathing and try to avoid thinking about the pit that my head and heart are falling into. Do any of you suffer from anxiety? Do you have any tips?

Here is me on Saturday:

shirt - from Mickey from the band OLSEN TWINNS
shorts - Target (kids section)
turquoise rings - from New Mexico
big multi-stoned ring - my mom made it for me
other rings - from Madeline

I got this shirt from my friend Mickey. It is from his band Olsen Twinns. SUCH a good band, go check them out! SERIOUSLY! You will not be disappointed. I used to bellydance with him as part of the Olsen Twinns set.


Ok well have a good week!

peace.

Runaround Sue

Hello! Still needing those good vibes for job hunting :/
On a happier note, I have been listening to the Mamas & the Papas station on Pandora, and I HIGHLY recommend that you do that as well. Basically every song is perfect, I often listen to the Alt '90s station or the Pitbull station but this one is now my favorite. I don't think I have skipped over one song! Go Pandora, go!!

This is me when I was hanging with my parents the other week.. good times.. I miss them now :( I wish that Mpls and LA could just merge together.. but you know, that is impossible so.. poop.

top - Tunnel Vision

vest - thrift

bag - gift from Larissa

shorts & shoes - ebay

This shirt is for sale on the Tunnel Vision website. I borrowed it when my parents and I took a day trip to Long Beach/Venice, CA. What a crazy place.. little canals like the actual Venice (complete with gondola rides) but in Southern California! haha.

On another note, I've finally updated my Etsy! So now these shoes are available:

PLZ SUPPORT ME! I will stud them however you like, and I can do lots of different sizes, just email me! Spread the word!! :D

Have a good week!

The post in which I wish Madeline a very happy birthday

I decided to do a blog post on Madeline because it was her birthday (on Friday). It seemed creepy to go through all of her blog posts and "steal" my favorite images, but I knew nothing could beat the creepiness factor that I had already achieved a year and a half ago: having her pictures as the background on my computer for half a year (that happened. haven't told anyone about it until now). SO to lessen the creepy factor I just went through her posts up until I stumbled across the last picture you will see on this post. When I saw that picture I literally said out loud "those lips". That was the sign that I needed to tell myself, enough is enough. (I already had over 20 pictures selected... as you can see I narrowed it down to 11) Anyways, creepiness aside, Happy birthday Madeline. You complete my little LA family and I am so happy you are in my life.

Happy, happy birthday Madeline. You are truly amazing. For those who do not know anything about Madeline I suggest you check out her blog.

Heatwave

Los Angeles has been hit by a heatwave and it is SO HORRIBLE! I am not big on crazy hot weather, and I have literally been sticking to my couch, needing to shower after walking ten feet, and to top it all off my neighborhood has become infested with skunks so we can't open the windows too much or else my whole house will smell of skunk spray. -_- 

Oh well! Enough complaining! Life is great in LA other than not having a job. I am still on the job hunt, OBVI! If you can keep sending those good vibes my way that would be awesome!! But in the mean time I have decided to re-open my Etsy shop! I am going to be selling (self) studded (knockoff) converse, and silver boots (like the ones I have (here)). I am going to be pricing everything at very reasonable prices so be sure to spread the word. Hopefully by the beginning of this week I will have re-opened my shop and everything will be hunky-dory.

Here is me, yesterday in the less intense part of the heatwave, but in the heatwave nonetheless:

everything thrifted

Like my hair? I totally love it - as Selena pointed out it is the perfect mix of Yolandi & Ninja (who I saw on Thursday night...AMAZING). What do you think?

(Die Antwoord)

Have a great rest of your weekend, and a good week! 

Peace.

Zef side represent

Hello students. Have you ever heard someone use the term "zef"? Do you have no idea what this word means? If you care to learn, read this post and become educated on what the term "zef" means. 

thanks Madeline for editing these photos:

 top, belt, shorts - vintage

shoes - nike

hot girl - Rachel

Someone asked me anonymously what "ZEF" is. Here is the best explanation:

Urban dictionary defines Zef as:

"South African term that can be likened to 'Kitch' or 'common'.

Zef style has strong 1980s influences and is stereotypically associated South African caucasians of low-middle social-economic status. However, it not nesessarily a derogatory term.

"It's like wearing high heels with a tracksuit. Being truly zef takes guts."

"The ultimate South African style'"

Do you get it? This post is full on dedicated to zef fashion and zef style. 

Also, I am seeing DIE ANTWOORD on Thursday!!!! I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!

hope you have as good as a week as I will have....

HEH HEH HEH

peace.
