The Good, the Better, & the Best: Summer 2011

Aww September! How I missed you. You must know by now I love fall. And as summer is coming to an end I've been mad cheesy and looking back at how good it actually was. I feel like I always think "This summer was alright." But then I look back at pictures and videos and realize "Hey! I did a lot."

Some highlights:

-First summer being 21

-Free styled in front of Donald Glover

-Meet Amber Tamblyn

-Went to Boston and competed as a poet at NPS

-Celebrated my best friend's 21st birthday

-Celebrated my mother's 60th Birthday.

-Went to Karaoke 4 times!

-Was hired to do some great music promos

-Blue Scholars Show

-Sister's graduation

-Made some new friends/business partners

The list really could go on and on.

I have to say I have grown a lot this summer and I am now more than ready for all the opportunities coming my way. I got my trips planned out for LA and New York. So let's do it BIG, shall we?

Timberlands

Pants - (Forever 21) $7.00

Shirt - (Freebie from GOODS for the Ray-Ray Music Video -- I of course cut the neck out.)

Jean Vest - (Freebie) Found it at a party

8 Day Closet Challenge & More.

During some of my tumblr/web surfing I came across this "8 Day Closet Challenge." It seemed like fun and thought it would be a cool way to show you guys a little more of my closet and clothes.

Day 1: Post a Picture of Your Closet

It's extremely messy and loud but I love it! Just the way I like it :)

In other news: Brave New Voices is the world's largest youth poetry slam. It happens once a year. It use to be the high light of my year. But sadly this is the first time in 5 years I am not going. It breaks my heart because it's truly one of the BEST events ever!

But the show must go on without me and I will try my hardest to distract myself. For example... today's outfit:

shoes - (gift for helping a friend move)

shorts - (Goodwill Men's Section) $2.00

Belt - Freebie

White tank top - (Hansen's pack 4 for $5.00)

Blazer - (Value Village) $6.50

Watch Necklace - (Goodwill) $1.99

Although I am not among my closest friends at BNV and enjoying amazing poetry I still have a lot of things to be happy about up here in Seattle. For example: IT'S SUNNY TODAY! This summer has been pretty half ass. Hopefully things are getting brighter. (pun intended)

Been Awhile

Don't think I forgot about this blog. I've been sick and slowly getting over it.

Shoes (Hand-me-downs)

Jeans (JCPenny's) $7.00

Belt (my mother's)

Shirt (Salvation Army) $1.30

Headband (Is actually the neck of a t-shirt I cut. Very useful headband)

DIY Hoop Earrings

I am trying to make this summer a good one. Seeing as last summer, I worked most of it. So I am making a list of things I want too. Here are just some of the items:

• Go to New York
• Try a new food
• Crash a party
• Make at least 3 new DIY's for the blog
• Finish my screenplay
• Go swimming in the middle of the night
• Sleep in my car
• bond fire

Super random, I know, but I am super random. I've already done some items on my list: Watch the sunset on top of my roof and midnight beach adventure.
