Sun(burn) Dress

Ugh. I don't know if any of you saw the photo I posted of my horrible sunburn I got on Saturday. Yes, I was the stupid pale Irish Girl who sat in the sun for 5 hours without ANY sunblock.

Trust me, I already feel stupid.

On the other hand, I had a great weekend. Saturday I went to a crazy punk rock party (not my scene what so ever), then Sunday hung out with Gabby, later went to a BBQ at the famous Bear Creek Studios with Gabby and Kim.

And right now I am getting ready to go to a Rookie Mag meet up in Seattle. I'll make sure to take photos and post them later. (Also post photos from this weekend too...)

Shoes - Timberlands
Dress - (H&M*) $12.00
Jacket - (Freebie) Dumpster Diving
Necklace - (H&M) $3.00

*So my sister and I for the most part have different taste. She's more preppy and well I am not. However ever once and awhile our taste cross. For example we both bought this dress. This has happened before with a pair of jeans and a pair of shoes.

My girl Kim sent me this photo via my facebook and it's so true. I really just want to be the queen of summertime.

3. Icona Pop

I posted about them before. Their song "I Love It" has become my 2012 summer anthem.

2. Pen Pals

Nate Assmilk is my pen pal. And he is the best pen pal ever. He sent me a lovely gift (will be posting about it soon...) and I sent him a Huf tank as a thank you gift. Fuck the internet: get a pen pal!

Wearable Art

"Fashion is wearable art."

I don't know who said that but boy is it true!

Yesterday most definitely started on the wrong foot and it stayed that way for awhile. However I took all the little things as a sign to be less of a Debbie Downer. My wonderful and extremely talented friend Janae needed some shopping advice. So of course I jumped to the opportunity to help out.

I found her this really amazing sailor dress (which was originally a romper that I recut and sewed into a dress) for $2.00 at Goodwill. After we did some shopping we went to a very interesting art gallery opening. So I wanted to be look like walking art.

Shoes - (Nordstrom rack) $25.00

Pants- (Topshop) $40.00

T-shirt- (Melrose Trading Post) was $17.00 talked it down to $10.00

Today I am working on the last minor details on my first chapbook of poetry. Not going to lie, kind of stressful but should work out in the end. Also here is a video Janae shot at the Twin Shadow show that I edited. It's our first project as Sealevel Pictures. (More details later...)

Sunday Dinner

Yesterday was crazy! (Crazy good of course)

First I had to wake up early to drop my friends off at the airport, ran some errands, then got lunch with Miss Robin Park, then went home and DID NOTHING! That's right NOTHING. I loved it!

An event that is rare and hasn't happened in a long time.

I literally painted my nails, made myself lemonade, and watched TV yesterday. I got a good solid 4 hours of doing nothing, really relaxing. Before of course going balls to the walls at Shaprece's EP release party. Which was mind blowing! If you missed it, YOU MISSED OUT. Such a wonderful and great show.

Now of course I didn't get to sleep until 5:00 AM. So I am trying to take it easy today. Which is why I am going to have a lovely Sunday Dinner with my sister.

boots (Nordstorm Rack) $20.00

dress (J.Mena gave to me) Freebie

jean vest (Found at a party) Freebie

necklace (Target) $1.99

So here is the crazy thing, my hair is really thick. There's a lot to handle, so I just got a hair cut and for some reason it's curly now!!

No curling iron, no product, NOTHING. This is my hair at it's most natural state... It's so strange.

Sunday Dinner Sounds:

Long Live The Newest Queen.

This is some pretty exciting news! (Well to me that is...) My wonderfully amazing friend and pen pal Giselle is going to be blogging for QOTG. She is amazing! Why you may ask? Well, here are just some of the reasons:

1. She's a HUGE comic book nerd like me

2. She makes incredible jewelry (some that I am lucky enough to own!)

3. She is very an innovative and creative artist.

4. She's just over all awesome!

Make sure to check out her tumblr and follow her on twitter! Also check her out on this blog as well as the QOTG tumblr blog too.

The come down.

It's Monday. And my weekend was jammed packed! I mean from Friday-Sunday I got about 13 hours of sleep divided the whole weekend. It was pretty intent! But of course, it wasn't just work.

Friday - stayed in and worked

Saturday - Worked in the morning, got lunch with friends, then went to film a house party.

Sunday - pulled an all-nighter finished details on two new mover & shakers videos, catch up on poetry, and e-mails.

I just woke up from a quick little nap and now back on my grind. This guttersnipe is slowly make it full circle. Give me a nice table in the sun, a cup of tea and chocolate croissant and I'll be good! Now some photo eye candy....
