doing well

I am learning to embrace the heel. And but "heel" I mean my boots I got from Target and that's pretty much the only heel I've ever liked. Anyways - I am learning to embrace the heel, I forget how much I love my kicks. My sneakers.

   

They will forever be my true love.

The LA countdown is for real right now. It's kind of wild actually. I am "packing" and by packing I mean staring at my clothes thinking they will magical put themselves in my suitcase and boxes. A girl can dream.

 

Tip - I have the upper part of my ear pierced (I don't know what's it call - my bad) and I've been using these fun studs I got from H&M. They are in shapes of triangles, squares, and ovals. Everyone thinks it's a cuff and really likes it. So try it out for yourself.

on the 3rd day

Lordy, lordy, lord. I am tired! Bet. I can't lift another finger. This weekend was jam-packed with wildness and it truly is bittersweet it's now over.

Today was the Battle of The Word poetry Slam which I was hosting. I was running around like crazy making sure everyone was doing what they needed to be doing and everyone was where they needed to be. Once that was over, it was hanging out in the artist lounge and eating free food.

 

My highlight was seeing J. Cole. I love him! His set as by far one of the best sets not only at Bumbershoot but best set I've seen in life! So powerful and so moving. Played all the classics, played all the cuts. Awww. This was a great way to end the summer.

So ideal!

Check out the newest addition to my kick collection! Got these pretty ladies in Canada. Oh Canada! Also this hoodie I call my Harriet The Spy Hoodie. All about that mead notebook vibe.

Yo. It ain't even fall yet but I can't stop wearing this jacket from H&M. Best $10 I ever spent. And as always: my first says it all. I am fucking unicorn!

  

The LA move is approaching quickly. And all honesty - I can't wait. I love this city but I need to get away from it to truly love it even more.

But of course - Happy Friday y'all! I hope you enjoyed your night and if not, no worries, you still have Saturday.

 

Bought yet another pair of shoes. But hey! I don't drink. So all the money I save from not buying drinks I deserve a new pair of shoes. Logic!

So I ran away. Like for real. Needed to get away from it all. Went on a rode trip, got lost, saw a bunch of movies, wrote a lot, read a lot, did yoga, and ate a lot. Sorry for the time lapse.

Since back on my trip I have grown a lot. Which is weird to actually notice. It's not just me though, people have been telling me. Growing up is strange. Like really strange. And the idea of coming of age is constant. Happens every time we end a chapter and begin again.

  

I've been a little bit of a loner, which is OK. And working my way back to the "real world." Every so often though I like to slip away. For example - I got breakfast by myself armed with only the sunday paper then headed to the Fremont Sunday Market. Ending at my favorite place in the world - the fabric store.

  

Seattle summer = rain in July. I can't get enough of it.

when grey matters

Any true reader who has been with me since the jump remembers this logo! I was cleaning my room and going through old notebooks and stumbled across this baby. The guttersnipe OG logo. I do miss it at times.

 

Everyone in Seattle is getting so ready for the big game this Sunday. I am working that day but have no fear! That is a good thing. The Seahawks always win when I don't watch the game. Go Hawks!

So like I said before I've been cleaning my room. Moving things around and trying to figure out a new arrangement of everything. Which is hard because I get really into then find something to distract me, like my old notebooks, get lost in those and end up watching a law & order SVU marathon. I need to work on being more productive. Ugh.

I have cleaned my closet out, repurposed a lot of items, and find some good stuff to steal. I also have been really big on candles. Who knows.

In the fashion life - I've talked about "street ninja" this fashion trend of wearing all black. I've discovered I can't do it. However I've been finding myself wearing a lot of the same shade. This is my take on a lot of grey aka gray aka silver. Or whatever. 

I am liking this idea. Stick to one color and make it work. Boom! Fashion.
