The past couple of weeks the weather in London has really taken a dive and it is only going to get worse... (insert worried emoji). It makes me look forward to going back home for winter break, and I was already really looking forward to it. It's actually really strange how much I am looking forward to winter break. I don't really remember feeling that way the last time I went away, but then again I guess I wasn't really that far to begin with.

I am so excited to see my family, I miss them dearly. I wish that I could come back for thanksgiving because it's my favorite holiday, but of course they don't celebrate that in England. A lot of English people don't even know what it is (or at least some of the ones that I have talked to). I don't blame them though, there are English holiday's that I have never herd of. One just passed actually. It was yesterday, it was a day to remember the day that Guy Fawkes almost blew up parliament. So there are fireworks and apparently the have a bonfire to burn a fake Guy Fawkes. It's pretty interesting, but I had to much work to really participate in it.

That was a really random tangent.. Back to what I was saying..

My family. I cannot wait to see my mom and my brother and my dad. I can't wait to get special mom hugs. That's something that is really lacking in my life right now, the hug. I think it's something that a lot of us don't really do very much anymore and it's something that is really taken for granted. We should never underestimate the power of a hug. It can easily make everyone feel so much better. Ahh I can't wait to feel the love of my family. I think that's the thing I am looking forward to the most. Not Christmas, not seeing my friends, not the weather but just that love.

For a long time I have really wanted to get a catsuit. I remember my best friend Sahara let me borrow a black catsuit that she had for halloween. I dressed up as a ghost, but the costume was inconvenient to wear at parties, so I would take it off and just be wearing this really cute catsuit. I have wanted one every since then I suppose. They are kind of hard to find when your a cheep-skate like me. I found this one at Sun Thrift, and I guess it was just pure luck. I find you cant really go into thrift stores with a clear image of something you want, because odds are you are not going to find it, and then you'll be kinda bummed out. The catsuit doesn't really fit properly yet, but I plan on fixing it as soon as my mom sends me my peddle for my sewing machine. Yeah you read that correctly, she sent me my machine without my peddle.. Silly mommy.

$up lovelies,
Over the weekend I did a shoot with a girl named Rachel. She is living in my halls and she is from New York. She is only here for the semester, but she is super nice and super talented. We went to this laundry mat just down the road from us. It was kind of a dark dingy day which showed up in a sort of magical way in the photos. I really like the way they came out, they look very raw.

These glasses are another pair from Giant Vintage Sunglasses. I absolutely love the way they look. They are modeled after the Miumiu Glasses, but they are super affordable and comfortable. I am so happy to add them to my glasses collection. The shirt and top I got at Sun Thrift but at different times. That is one thing I really miss about being back in LA is my many trips to Sun Thrift. The shoes I got at Wasteland in my last trip up to oakland. I miss my Oakland friends a great deal, I am really happy that I was able to take that trip up there. This is the last time I am going to be able to wear my hair like this, because this weekend I am getting it cut. I don't know exactly how short because it isn't up to me (I got picked to be in a hair show), but it's going to be fun and exciting.



Lately I have been obsessed with mood rings, so I decided to only wear mood rings. I really like the look of them because they are always changing colors, but they are never the same color. I think it's my body's way of saying, "hey, your really confused!" Not to say I am depressed of anything, but just being away from home and I guess not fully on my own two feet yet, I have had so many mixed emotions. It's weird to feel so many different, conflicting things all at one time. I know things will get better of course, but for the time being, it's fun to have something like this.

Music- Marvin Gaye- Got to Give it up. I know this seems a little weird, (or at least I feel weird doing it) but my friend told me that I should put the music before everything else because then you can get the whole experience. et me know what you think.

Not much has happened the past couple days. I've still been house/dog sitting. Im still kind of bummed that I had to do it over the weekend, but whatever today it my last day. I am glad that I had some pictures stored up on computer of outfits so I would have something to do though. This picture was taken a little bit before I left for camp. I wasn't really sure if I wanted to post it because my hair is a little out of control, but I guess I'm just going to post it. I got these really awesome shoes off of etsy for like 70 bucks, and Im super stoked on them, they are really wonderful. A tad uncomfortable but they just need to be broken in. This dress I got at H+M a couple years ago. I don't really wear it that often anymore, but I decided to do something different, to match the shoes. The shirt is from American Apparel, they are very good for some nice place shirts, skirts and pants. One of the necklaces I am wearing was found deep in my closet, its kind of strange because it wont just lay flat.


Oh and the last thing, I also created a facebook page, (I know, kind of douchey) but its for my blog, I would love it if any of you guys that actually read my blog would like it. Check it out!

4th

This is my attempt at being patriotic. Now that my hair is blue, I have to stray away from certain articles of clothing because I will look to goth or my worst nightmare of being scene or emo. I decided today I am going to wear red lipstick even though it doesn't really go with my hair. Sometime wearing things that don't go together really makes me feel a scene of originality and power but other times it makes me feel icky. I don't really know why, I guess it kind of just depends on what it is. Red and blue together makes me feel icky, but today its okay because its the 4th of july! AND BOY IS IT HOT. I'm realising more and more how much I really don't like the heat, thank god next month I will be in England were the high is 70 degrees. I made this skirt for Coachella and I love wearing it, I am a sucker for sheer things. The leotard is not a bathing suit, its a leotard, and its from american apparel. Its very comfortable and I really love to wear it, but I have a lot of trouble making it look good with other articles of clothing. I think it looks really well with the skirt though. Its really to hot to be on my computer right now, so I am going to take a dip in the pool! HAPPY 4th!
