repeat offender

As I'm sitting here, thinking of something clever to write for my post I can't help but think: Man, I'm really diggin' these British artists--I'm also thinking that I should watch Sex and the City from the first episode...especially since E! plays it daily. See how my mind jumps from one random thing to the next? So, today's weather has been stagnantly gloomy giving me little to no motivation in dressing up or doing anything proactive, for that matter. When this happens...I become an 'almost' repeat offender. I wore the same shirt and shorts I wore to a friend's birthday last weekend, oops! Who cares, I spent more time thinking about what I wanted to eat than what to dress up in. 

Besides the daily cheap-quickie-outfits I post to entertain myself, I wanted to speedily hit on a topic that's been flying all over the place. Confidence. I, admittedly, have been going through a time where I feel like I wish I was taller, definitely wishing I was skinnier, and praying for awesome looking skin--but it hit me like a ton of bricks: why was I letting these miniscule things stop me from being confident in other areas of my life (ie. school, going out, etc.)? I really let these things put a halt on my social life (not completely, but it definitely affected some of it). Then I sit here and listen to other girls say the same things and I give them advice...hypocritically enough. I think it's time to start taking my own advice and living my life with no aesthetic constraints. Everyone should feel beautiful. Everyone has a right to be happy with themselves. 

Now I present to you my questionable outfit, haha.

When tights get 'wrinkly' it looks funny.

My beautiful ring from the Dominican Republic!

Trying to read my favorite magazine ever! But the wind was not letting me...

See how windy it was? See how my hair is trying to mimic the 'Ombre' hair style, but it really is just 

roots taking over.

I just love this shirt, it's so different from anything I own.

           

I leave you with one of my ALL TIME favorite singers (Jessie J) and one of my favorite songs 'Who You Are'. So inspiring.

Enjoy!

for a minute, I lose my senses

   

Since the last time I updated, I celebrated my 21st birthday! It was a spectacular weekend with beautiful people and so many memories were made. I'm so thankful for everyone and everything. Ever since then, however, my body has seemed to be extremely tired. I can't get my sleep schedule back and my focus isn't there, at all. With that, I completely forgot that I had class today...which is weird since I woke up around 6:30AM to finish my essay for the class. Seriously, where is my mind? I frequently catch myself asking this question. On that note, I woke up with 5 minutes to speed out the door, and when all else fails...black tights come in to save the day! I'll keep repeating myself, over and over, this isn't about me trying to show you and tell you this is how you should dress, this is about me just showing you who I am through photos and mini stories. Going back, tights are saviors, seriously. Picked out my favorite and comfortable pink shorts and a throw-over sweater-type-tee, black boots and flew out the door. I really need to start organizing my life a little better. Clearly my lazy ass took these pictures after I came back from class...and then went back to sleep--evidence can be directed to my eyes being closed in all of the pictures my face is in. 

 

There has to be irony in the fact that I burned my cross ring with a lighter.

& this came out unexpectedly

Excuse my messy room

Cheers!

(Drop Dead) Beautiful

 I have SO many things I want, but these babies seem to be at the top of my list:

Christian Louboutin- 'Clou Noeud'

Another obsession I have to kick for the moment. Until I figure out how to deal with my online 'window' shopping addiction, I'll leave you with this wordy post, and think of something more interesting to post. 

Goodnight to all of the beautiful people all over the world!

Breaking Spring

I’m disgusted with myself. Over two hours of ‘drooling’ over two pairs of shoes that have been sold out ever since I can remember (see: Acne Atacoma wedge & Miu Miu Sparrow Mary Jane pumps)- my mom can’t even handle being next to me as I mope about not being able to get those babies. I still think back and wonder if $650 was reasonable…probably not…I’ll keep wishing.  I just don’t know what unhealthy obsession over tall heels came over me. There must be a height complex that I’m dealing with, but they’re just.so.sexy.

Looking past my sad introductory story, I’ve been on spring break some odd days and the weather is not too thrilling, after all Chicago IS notorious for its inconsistency, but I’m not going to complain. As I was lounging around, I realized that 1) I haven’t blogged on here in a while 2) I hadn’t put my new ‘blouse’ into use & 3) I needed to take new pictures of my sister/myself. Waiting for her to get out of school was a battle with the smidge of sun that was out this day. I don’t think I’ve ever done my makeup as fast, or had my sister do my hair in such a short period of time (note to anyone with long, thick hair: buy a 1 inch flat iron and do messy curls in 7-8 minutes…you’ll get compliments all day).

So here we are, and yes…there’s RGB editing/alteration to my photos…obviously not everything in my backyard has a bluish tint, even though that would be very insane and bizarre= exciting.

Poor girl, she wore shorts (Guess leather/pleather?...great deal) in super windy conditions, so I gave her my long-sleeved oversized H&M polka dot shirt (one of my favorites)…I wanted her to wear her black ALDO kickass boots, but to each their own…and she wanted to be more ‘springy’ with her belt. I can’t control her. I can’t control her. Haha. On the other hand, I opted for a way warmer alternative: deep purple velvet leggings (take THAT to all the people who said they’d just lay in my closet), with my American Apparel 3D Flower Mesh Jumper (so inlove with it…words cannot describe this materialistic bond). Unfortunately, I brought home unconventional shoes, so my Jeffrey Campbell K-Genius shoes it was.

* drumroll please *

(I'm laughing like an idiot and my sister just lays against the car like a BOSS)

                            

(This was my attempt at my sister's "'pose" against the fence. Except it looks like I'm dancing)

                   

    

    

           

(This angle made me look taller :P)

(I look a little out of it, but I liked the jaded/faded thing going on)

Fin!

Jeremy Scott's Genius

To be quite honest, I haven't been putting in effort as to what I look like for the day. It's just roll up out of bed and go. While looking like a girl who doesn't care about anything- and I mean anything (yes, it goes way beyond how I look), I continuously drool over one of my favorite designers of all time. I am shining light to Sir Jeremy Scott. He is brilliant and his newest collection for the upcoming F/W line makes me want to feel good all the time. Time to get past this hazy faze I'm going through and delve into this imaginative world again- maybe it really IS time to go on and die my hair.

As a broke college students lusts, here are some photos to keep me internet window shopping (PS: I got all the images from Google):

I understand that I may be late with it but I still have an obsession with it, and it's live and kicking.
