LArt

Today went to the LA Art Show with my homie Nick. Took a lot of photos; too many actually, got a lot of much needed inspiration but yet didn't get enough.

 

So... I am going again tomorrow.

falling days

Last night was the last night of summer for me and my friends. Some went back to school and the others started new jobs. So we made the best of last night. First, went to see two of my favorite bands in Seattle, The Flavr Blue and Fly Moon Royalty, and without even trying ended up being in music video.

Now... I can't wait for fall! I just don't know how to dress for summer. I don't like to show too much skin and being as pale as I am, summer is no friend to my skin. I love fall.

  

However, moving to LA I got to get use to summer. Or start liking how to dress like a true Cali girl.

 

I've been wearing these boots a lot lately. I love my sneakers but heels do amazing things to the legs.

Boots (Target) $30 x Pants (TopShop)

Shirt (ZARA) $20 x Shirt (GAP) $20

borrowed a whole lot of

My biggest fashion advice or tip is stealing aka "borrowing" clothes from my mother and sister. The best thing about the ladies in your life - they all have great fashion too.

This lovely jacket is my mother's. My mom has always had a great eye for style. Her color has always been and will always be black. She, unlike me, can pull of the "street ninja." Black on black on black.

  

These pants, well, I stole them from my sister a long time ago. She still hasn't noticed I have them, so I guess that's fair game and I can call them mine. Right?

   

Also - these are "fancy" sweatpants. They are widely expected as fashionable because they are cuffed. Yes, cuffed. (Or that's at least what someone else told me. Who I do trust!)

screen time

Anyone who follows my Instagram knows about this news:

So... now I've been writing. Like crazy. Like beyond crazy. Like my eyes are killing me from starring at my computer screen for too long. But thankful, hard work has and will pay off. Don't you forget!

On the flip side - I found this great shirt today!

For those who don't know I've been friends with Mary Lambert since we were 14, angry at the world, writing poems together. We even went on tour together about two years ago. Since then she has been busy  killing it in the game. I love her and so freaking happy for her. It's so wild to see her career take off.

   

I sent her a picture of me wearing this shirt, to which we both agree only a true fan would understand the awesome vintage-ness of this shirt.

Also on that note... Pre-order her new album like RIGHT NOW!

feeling to keep

I can't lie. Pipe + Row got me feeling myself!

  

Today I started my first boxing class. Why didn't I start sooner?! I feel so much, have a pep in my step, and got out some much needed aggression.

For me, I go into the gym looking and feeling like shit. However I aim to leave feeling good and better about myself. Loving my body and trying to stay in a better head space the rest of the day. One way to feel better is to look good.

  

 

If you get anything from this blog, besides learning how to shop for the low-low, I really just want people to love themselves better. Whether it's going to the gym, to museum, seeing a movie, or writing on your own blog. And I want people to be more confident about the way you look. If you think you look good and you feel good, screw everyone else's thoughts. They ain't worth money so why listen?
