I know it's been ages since I last posted on my blog. Things haven't been so hectic as they seem, it's more been a lack of motivation, which is way worse. I just came back to London today from easter break in LA. Over the break I went to Coachella with my brother, my good friends Gino, Dylan, Natalie, Zoe, Stephanie and Jasmine. It was sooo much fun!

This was my outfit for the first day which I made entirely by myself. The underwear is hard to see in these pictures but they are a matching pink material with little white sheep on them. The dress was made from a super sheer material to show off the cute underwear I made. In the day I wore these sandals by Vagabond, but as it got darker I wore my white Y.R.U. platforms.

The best performance the first night was by Girl Talk, hands down. My brother and I went fucking crazy dancing to it, I almost ate it so many times. During that performance my brother and I got our picture taken for LA Weekly, but of course they didn't tell us what the article was going to be. I found out on Sunday that we won cutest couples of Coachella. Talk about awkward. This is actually my brother...

I'm back home, and it feels sooo good! The weather down here is really nice, I can wear only one jacket instead of three. I got this jacket a couple of years ago at sun thrift. I fell in love with the embroidery of Native Americans on front panels of the coat. I love embroidery. This dress I also got at sun thrift. It is a pink silk slip. I think it's really interesting to wear slips or silk night gowns in public, because its something that used to be really inappropriate to wear outside of your bedroom, but it is made beautifully. It's a shame that it was inappropriate to wear outside because they are so beautiful, and almost no one would be able to see them. I really like to wear them out. I also love fishnets, I haven't been able to wear them in London because it's always way to cold (another reason why I am so happy to be home).

Music- I think this video is really interesting because it's shot on VHS. It has a home movie vibe, I love it. Blood Orange is also one of my favorites, so if you have the extra time, you should check out his stuff.

What is it about overalls that makes us feel like girly 6 year olds again? I got these beauties at a rummage sale under a sketchy bridge in London. I went by myself and wasn't very familiar with the area, there also wasn't an address so that made things a little tricky. Someone told me to get off the tube turn left and then another left and then walk to a bridge and that is where the sale is. Sketchy? I followed those directions, but when I got to the bridge I didn't see anything and felt a little on gard. There was a sign pointing down this little alley way next to the bridge and that is where the sale was. I ended up being one of the only ones there, but my oh my what a gem of a sale. There were 20 racks of clothing all second hand, and you picked up a bag (small or large) and you payed 10-20 pounds and you could fill up the bag. I spent 20 and got the large bag, and I got the best stuff. The person that was running the sale was so friendly, he let me slip in some more clothing then the bag would allow. I thought it was so nice of him to do that.

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.

So this is the reason why I am sick today. I went out yesterday with my new friend Justin from Texas. We went down to Brick Lane because on Sunday'd they have a short of flea market. It was really very cool, I found a lot of really cool stuff, but only ended up buying a 2 pound watch and a faux fur coat for 15 pounds. I wasn't appropriately dressed for the weather in London because rain. We were walking around and it was only about 58 degrees and then it spontaneously started to rain. I guess that is just London though. We were both a little bit ill prepared and we ended up getting a cold.

Today this cold has knocked me on my ass. I have been so lazy and not productive. I have literally just been lying around and watching the office. Hopefully this is just a 24 hour bug, because Enrollment is on wednesday and I need to be at my best.

Music- Best Coast, Dreaming My Life Away
