sunny day haze

I've been pretty happy with my life recently, and I just can't help but want to look at things in such a bright way. Speaking of bright...it was so sunny today that I decided to goof around in the backyard but the sun proved to be the match to my eyes. 

My blogs are starting to be more 'outfit'-ish posts, but they are nothing of the "fashionista" sort, it's just me being comfortable.

So this is what I wore to go to the mall today; posts with more substance will come later :)

(I love my Sam Edelman Zoyla booties...you can tell by how much I've worn them already)

(Stole my sister's sweater)

(A little pleating)

(& a little bit of hardware on the jacket)

(Soaking it in while it lasts)

(Ciao!)

Have a great weekend :)

dancehall queen

Forgive the post title, I've been listening to Robyn and only Robyn for about a week now, especially since I saw her in concert on Tuesday (2/15). She was beyond, but I'm pretty sure the whole world knew that already.

Moving forward, today went up to a nice 60 degrees-windy, but still a refreshing day. I decided to snap some shots of my ultra comfy attire. It's super simple, the way I like it.

(So hard to keep my eyes open with all of the wind blowing, especially since this is on the balcony in a high rise)

(I should probably clean my purse, right?)

(Favorite rings I own)

 (Appreciation for the little details)

 

(Toms- they're for a good cause and so lightweight...even if they make your feet look a little weird)

(I know it's so blurry, but there's something old-school about it, no?)

(Overexposed)

(Peace)

(& I leave you with my messy hair)

Have a lovely night <3

long locks

It's been such a long time! I'm terrible, I know, but it's refreshing to come back on here. I spend infinitely more amount on Tumblr getting lost on all the beautiful art that's on there. It's almost like going away into your own world. Moving forward, I'm not making a real "outfit" post or going into detail as what's been going on in my life, but I'll post something that people comment/ask me about a lot: MY HAIR. Let's begin by letting you know that I don't comb my hair. I know that sounds nasty and gross but it's not bad, seriously. I just let my hair air dry. The only time that I fix my hair is for a special occasion, even then I'm truly lazy. Here are some images to help you understand what I'm talking about:

REGULAR 'do-nothing' HAIR

FLAT IRONED HAIR

 CURLED HAIR

Okay, so there you go, but this post isn't to show off my hair or anything, it's to let you know that it takes me 0-10 minutes to do any of these things. I don't feel like I should spend hours on my hair when other factors (such as wind/heat) mess with it. But I do feel like hair says something about people.

So here is my dilemma, I want something new. I've had red hair, orange hair, black hair, brown hair, pixie cut hair, really long hair, blunt bangs, no bangs, undercut (shaved)....where do I go from here? I feel like getting a bob with dark blue hair with blonde tips...I know it sounds scary but I like to try new things.

I'm always stuck when it comes to being extreme. Maybe I'll just shave it again.

Anyways, as I always say: REAL POST LATER.

last of days

I'm back! :) Can you believe that there's only 2 days left until 2011?! It's insane! I've been sick for the past couple of days, but I went out into the cold to take some pictures because I was feeling lazy just staying in bed like a little girl. Gotta' credit my cute little nephew for helping snap some shots of me, he's the best. There was definitely a lot of wind action going on today.

      

 I know that plenty of people make resolutions for the new year, and one of my cliché ones is to lose weight, haha :P BUT this year I'm not making a list of things that I need to improve/enhance. I just want to live the year freely and rich of memories that will last me a lifetime. There are times when people feel like January 1st is a reset button on life but the truth of the matter is...you control this imaginary button and can press it whenever you want. Reset all the negativity, anger, hurt...walk forward and achieve everything that makes you beautiful. You don't need a new year for a new resolution. 

As always,

peace and complete love.

simple

( I should really start putting in my lip ring stud instead of just letting my bar peek out, oh the laziness )

It's December 25th 2010 and that means it's Christmas! or any other holiday that you celebrate around this time :) I've been on break for over a week now and find myself wasting time sleeping, a lot! It's time to go make some plans with people and enjoy my city but as strange as this sounds, I feel like I've become really attached to Champaign. Weird. Anyways, another thing that struck me as odd was that my capitalistic hunger was not in full effect this holiday season. I, actually, didn't ask for anything so there were no presents underneath the tree for me or anyone else in this family. We just go to the mall, pick up what we want and we call it a day- and this year, me and my sister didn't even pick up anything crazy...two shirts, at most and some makeup, haha. I guess that's when it hit me that I have everything I want and need. Relief. I still need to wrap my bestie's gift(s)/birthday present(s)- it's been a long time since I've seen her!

Om nom nom time and then off to read a book or something intellectual, haha.

studio beats

(My roommate and friend MinJoo snapped this photo of me on my bed around September/October)

Finally finished finals! and you know my advice for pulling through it? A good pair of headphones!

I'm happy I invested in these bad boys (they're the Studio Beats by Dr. Dre if you were wondering...pictured). If I could, I'd run out and buy everyone a pair so that they can see I'm not crazy when I'm jammin' out too hard to them. They got me through endless papers, study guides, books, days of not sleeping, etc. 

Once I re-energize, a real thoughtful post will come through, but for now, live off the beats or die from the dancin' :)

clean it up

I need to get my hair shaven again. It grows out so fast!

Back to studying for finals.
