we are going out

Ok. For the time being, I am going to make this camera thing work out as best as I can. We will see. So please, bare with me. Thanks!

Headed out to go hang out in the town; my friend's little brother is DJing so going to check that out.

 

I am wearing heels.

This is from last night.

Seattle is known for it's music scene and our festivals. One of them is "capitol hill block party" better known in the twitter world as #chbp. It's always a great line up every year but overall I am just not a die hard fan for block party like most of my friends.

Last night however my boyfriend was able to get us free tickets so why not right? We were able to catch the tail end of Flaming Lips and see all of Dirty Projector's set. Ideal night.

 

It's getting chilly here in Seattle which I have no issue with. My dad was going through one of this closets when he found this gem of a sweater. I wore it last night and was really impressed by how many people stopped me to ask where I got it from. I felt so cool! Almost too cool....

 

Fun to give the new age hipster answer; "Oh! This old thing. It's my dad's."

Slacking. That's really all it is.

The effort made to have a fashion blog is a passionate one but there are off days. A lot of off days. But I love it. And I hope as a reader you love it too.

 

(guttersnipe trying to be on her model tip.)

Woke up in a musical kind of mode. Funny Girl, Chicago, RENT, Guy & Dolls, and many many more. But of course my favorite; Hair Spray.

the scale of it

Summer time gets me tired. I just don't want to do a damn thing. Which is a bad thing when I've been trying to do nothing but write. Ugh. Maybe I should stop resenting and just go with it. Do. Nothing.

busy doing something

Hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July.

I am personal not the biggest fan of fireworks. They scared me when I was little and now... well they still scare me. But that is besides the point because 4th is all about the BBQs. The 4th is also my friend Gabby's birthday! So it was very exciting.

Start out at one party, ended at another. And that's the way it goes.

Today is overcast in Seattle. Warm but with a chill. I just realized as I type that I am all about Weather Fashion. Fashion that is based on weather. You kind of have to be living in Seattle. But pretty sure I also just made that term up just now. But whatever. It sounds cool. And important.

 

Anyways; I am cleaning up my room and running errands so I went for a fashionable comfy.

less style

(got this great boom box at Goodwill for $7.00 - ideal for the beach)

I don't know if it's the heat, the laziness, that summer time freedom, or whatever but I am just less motivated to get dressed. I am just not a summer time stylist. I don't put too much effort in my outfits. (Which is a good thing and a bad thing) Good because I am comfy. Bad when you have a fashion blog and you are making choices that are lacking a x factor.

I am more inspired by fall and winter. I think it's because I am a girl of layers and in the summer time it's less is more kind of attitude.

  

I am so happy with life but the summer time state of mind but I am not really doing a lot. Just don't want to do anything. Maybe because I told myself this was the summer that I didn't do anything expect enjoy and here I am trying to fight that idea.

Oh well! Hopefully I'll just get over it and just be lazy.

But in better news; glad to be back to my natural hair color of purple.

  

I bought this dress last summer at Salvation Army for $5.00 but have yet to wear it. I don't know why, it's ideal for summer and super comfy. There wasn't any real need to style it. A statement piece all on it's own.

  

And the sad thing is; I can not part with these little red shoes. I know they are going to die soon but I will wear them until they fall apart. I also have yet to find a great pair to replace them.
