fail safe.

Well! Been awhile. I mean a lot has happened.

First off - Happy New Year! Hope everyone had a safe & fun New Years. This was the first one I did not spend in Seattle. I ducked out of the 206 right after Christmas to ring in the New Year in Los Angeles. It was fun! Simple and not too wild, but a good old time.

   

I also missed my guttersnipe anniversary of this blog. Queen of the Guttersnipes is FIVE YEARS OLD! This shit is cray too me. I mean I know I have been on top of it as I have in the passed but I can't think of anything I have stuck out for five years. I mean shoot! My longest relationship is two & half years. No matter what - I am very proud of myself. Way to go blog, happy belated birthday!

 

Not only is it 2015 (which is so fucking weird) I have blue hair now. If you follow me on Instagram you would know that. Loving the blueberry life.

Everything else is going. Keep my head above water, taking things as the come, stay positive, writing, being active, being silly, and doing me. Hope y'all do that same. xo.

5 Things I am in love with... right now

New Year! New things to love! Here we go.

5. Bob's Burgers
I don't know why but I love this show. It's freaking strange, the humor is questionable, but I can't stop watching it. I like weird shit and this show is the weirdest.

4. Rose Gold
I mention this already but it's becoming my new favorite color this year. Maybe it's because my name is all over it.

3. Reading!
People don't read enough. (Reading reddit articles do not count!) I mean books; reading actually, physical, books. One of my favorite places in the whole wide world is Elliott Bay Books. It's like my Breakfast at Tiffany's.

2. Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
I am craving one... right now...

1. Beyonce
The album almost came out a month ago and I still can't playing it. It also helps that she has music videos that are so hard to look away from. *I woke up like this*

  

the last 13th

Hey! Remember me? Ten days later...

I am caught up in the holiday rush. Shopping, working, christmas tree decorating, eating, sleeping, movies, eating again. I also haven't been able to style any posts because of it. But I am back. (For now)

I can believe this year is over because this felt like a year. A whole full 365. It didn't go by too fast, it didn't go by too slow, it just went by. I am of course super nostalgic this time of year (who isn't) however ready for a new chapter, a new year, a new season. The cold snap in Seattle is over but it's still bitter outside.

   

It being the last Friday 13th of the year I am, of course, celebrating it with Beyonce's new album. That's right, Beyonce dropped an album out of NOWHERE. Well, because she can. Because her name markets itself, the internet exists, and then her dedicated fans do that rest. I'm not a die hard Beyonce fan but I do like her! I really love the idea of her fandom. How serious people are about her. It's amazing, overwhelming, and mesmerizing. Plus the album is really good and there's a music video for every song. So for who is a massive visual person, I am loving it!

Fun fact - besides waiting to be on SNL I want to make music videos.

 

Anyway, I still need to be a 3 year anniversary post of this blog. Maybe I'll tie it in with all my highlights of the year. We'll see. I also need to do a Christmas List! Give you guys ideas for that special someone in your life.

These first few days in the new year have been beautiful. Cold but beautiful. What people don't know is Seattle IS the most beautiful place when it's sunny. It's rare thing, but so worth seeing first hand.

DIY x License plate necklace

Anyone who has ever gone through my photos on my phone would think I was strange. Well, reading this blog you must by now know how strange I am. The point being; I have a thing for name a.k.a. "vanity" license plates. I basically use my camera phone for that (and of course my instagram lifestyle) So it makes sense for me to have this necklace.

Supplies:

pilers x gold chain ($3.50 - bead store) x ROSE license plate ($2.50 - Magic Mouse Toys)

 

It's really, just that easy.
