still. a little bit cold.

Sorry for the lack of posts. But I thought since I left you with two DIYs you shouldn't miss me that much.

  

I've been busy. Starting a new job and have been doing a lot of personal stuff. Hard to believe but for having a bunch of blogs, I am still a very private person. Just know, I am a very happy guttersnipe. The happiest I've been in awhile.

Seattle Sunny means a little chilly. Got to play to that.

Another jam packed day. Another outfit that goes with.

And like the true guttersnipe that I am, I know for a fact I've wore something very similar to this. But whatever. I can pull it off.

(Truly anyone can)

It's been a official week of me being home and so much has happened. A week can a long time.

Now this week is all about getting back to a normal work schedule which is so hard after a month of pure fun. Plus I can smell summer right around the corner. This is the first summer that I am really excited for. I am usually a winter girl, but all my friends being so pumped for it is helping me see the benefits of that time of year.

But for now, it's a chilly but sunny day. So I get to wear my layers.

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 was in a massive creative funk. I haven't been able to write. I haven't felt like I've done anything productive. Which sucks because I believe this time of year is prefect for inspiration. Especially this year (you know with the whole Maya Calendar thing)

So I pulled myself out of bed today, grabbed a cup of coffee and headed to the Seattle Art Museum with a notebook and camera in hand. I have to say; I feel so much better.

Take this guttersnipe's advice. I can feel the creative juices running wild.

The main exhibit going on is the "women take over" which highlights women artists from the turn of the century to now. Women artists from across the world. I couldn't take pictures in that part but go and see it for yourself. I personally fell head over heels in love with Barbara Kruger's work.

     

 

I feel a million times better. It's crazy how we get in these strange runts and how easy it truly is to get out of them. And thanks to my new shirt I have a new catch phrase:

Shoes - Vashtie x Jordans

Leggings - (American Apparel) $16.00

on the road again

I am olympia bound. I have a book reading down there. Should be fun!

Heading down early with my sister. See some old friends, get some grub, and enjoy the ride. A mini road trip.

I didn't know what to wear, so I step back and stared at my closet like a fashion zombie. Saw this shirt hanging next to the army print and though it would be a cool combo. Mixing and matching patterns will always give your outfit that extra little pop.
