coming up for air

I've been sick these past days and I think today is the first day I actually feel better. I've been sleeping, watching netflix, downing vitamins, eating pho, and drinking peppermint (with honey) tea non-stop.

But this evening, I went out on a very lovely sushi date with my friend Robin. Then went to a poetry slam. I needed to get out of house. It was a great and easy start back into the real world.

Also, I don't want to speak too soon but I have exciting news! Besides my east coast tour though. 

*(Although her taste is questionable at times, these were spot on. Well I mean... I did pick them out. But she agreed!)

don't be too bummed.

 

My beloved and beautiful laptop Stella has died. It's so sad. She was 7 years old ("vintage" in Apple terms) so I think it was about time. Just sucks because this computer was a beast. It had been dropped from a two story building, had water damage AND was ran over by a car. Oh, Stella. How we've been through so much.

On the "brighter" side I got a new laptop. On the non-brighter side I am broke because of it. I also spent 3.5 hours in the apple store. I was going crazy. But hey! You win some, you lose some.

 

 

But I am not going to bummed because I am home, got a grapefruit, movies and a bag of carmel corn that I do not have to share with anyone! It feels good.

Yes I am one of those girls who rocks coco butter. The boys always stop me.

 

The people at the apple store where highly impressed by my iPhone case and my jordan's. One of the guys said I was the coolest customer of the day. (Which sadly didn't get a you a discount.)

Side note: I love this sweater because of the elbow patches I added too, how cozy it is and the flicks of neon color in the thread. It's the littlest details that make things that much better.

I am home (for now.) but then I am gone again. I like traveling because it reminds me home much I love being home. Hopefully I'll be back for regular postings now.

I am doing laundry and I woke up this morning and thought "I really don't have anything to wear." Thankful though I was able to find something.

is something new?

Blog Make-Over. I updated and changed the blog. Hope y'all like it because I do! It's very clean and simple (unlike my personal style) but that's what I like about it. It's straight to the point which is a style blog. I am really happy with the new logo (once again that might changed) but I did the design myself.

I am at a point in my life where a lot is changing, friends, life, jobs, books, shows, style, seasons. So why not this.

bad to the bone

I went out dancing last night with some friends. Seattle goes hard on Mondays. (Well only a couple places in Seattle go hard on Monday.) NOW my phone & wallet were stolen but I am trying to stay positive. What goes around comes around.
