This Bart Simpson get up is a Jeremy Scott knock off that I got on ebay for a really good price of 40 dollars. I love Jeremy Scott, but I don't have the money to drop on his clothing. I found this almost a year ago and I thought it was perfect, I had to have it. I love patterns like this, its not something you see to often. I know being a fashion follower or a blog fiend you notice a lot of people wearing clothing that is really patterend and people clashing patterns really well (or at least thats the kind of stuff I see a lot.). I tend to think a lot more people actually dress like that, then there actually are. I almost never see people walking around wearing all patterns. I mainly see people wearing black or grey or things from higher end retail brands. It's a little boring sometimes and it got me thinking:

Fashion is a form of self expression and I think it is so much more fun to dress crazy and colorful and different, life is to short to wear boring clothing. I think it's better to stand out then to blend in, so be bold and daring!

Sometimes I go back and forth on this though. A lot of the time I don't care what other people think and I dress the way I feel. Sometimes even dressing a certain way will improve my mood. Every once and a while though I feel like I just want to dress "normal" to be "pretty" to the rest of the world. It's a strange feeling really. I feel like that is a common feeling for a lot of people and I think it's because everyone has this little part of them that almost needs approval of others. I can admit that sometimes I feel like I want other people's approval but most of the time it doesn't matter to me as long as I can make myself happy. In the end the only person you have is you, and you need to be able to make yourself feel good. Love yourself for who you are, and others will love you.

I guess those are my cliche words of the day..

This past weekend has made me feel so at ease because it seems like things are finally starting to fall into place. I have started my course at Uni, and I am excited about something for the first time in a long time. Today we went over the course load and our time tables, and I feel a little stressed but mostly just excited to learn and really show everyone what I am made of. I have this overwhelming feeling that I am going to wow my professors, and it feels so good. I finally feel like I am in the right place at the right time. I have never felt that way before.

Over the weekend I met up with this Wonderful photographer studying at London College of Fashion named, Tish Jarrett. She contacted me via email to colab for a shoot. I was super stoked because I have these awesome new glasses from Giant Vintage Sunglasses that I wanted to have captured for my blog. We went to this really cool courtyard of an apartment complex that was entirely filled with graffiti. I would have liked to get some more pictures there wearing different outfits, but the inconvenient thing about living in London is you can only bring what you can carry. I did however get to sneak in one more look that I will be posting tomorrow! Tish was a really nice girl and a really talented photographer. If you want to see more of her work you can look at her site here.

Music- I haven't really been on the look out for new music which bums me out a bit, but I will be scouting for some next week, so I can give you some new stuff to listen to! Face to Face- Daft Punk.

Yesterday I went to a water park with my brother and my two step siblings. I used to really love water parks, even though they are pretty gross and you are most likely swimming in a mixture of little kids pee and water with a lot of chlorine, but this time it wasn't really that much fun and I don't really know why. My brother and I went one two slides and then we went in the wave pool and the lazy river. The water was really really cold, so I think thats why we only did a few things. The ground was also insanely hot, I definitely burned the bottom of my feet. There were other slides that we wanted to go on, but I was more hesitant because I remember the slides that didn't have inter-tubes really hurt your back or your front. Ryan and I got a lot of junk food, so that was pretty cool. We got weird looks from everyone, and I think its because of my hair and Ryan's rose.. Also a lot of people were talking about us and I'm pretty sure that they knew we could hear them. People are so strange.

Isn't this skirt cool? I got it along with this top at my most recent trip to Sun Thrift. I think thats one of the things I am going to miss the most about California. These shoes I got a while back on Etsy. They are kind of snug so I don't really wear them that often(They are also really unique, so it can be difficult to match them with outfits.). I found it entirely fitting to wear them yesterday though, because of where we were.
