Insta-whore

1. kBBQ + Sushi = stuffed dead Roya (it's a delicacy in these parts)
2. Paint chips stolen from Home Depot to be used in a special project I have planned
3. David's Tea is a perfect example of creating your own customer base - before they came to town I DIDN'T EVEN DRINK TEA GUISE. Now I'm obsessed.
4. The hipster goddess that is my little sister.
5. A painting said sister drew. I hate her for being flawless (Oh well, at least I'm older. Right?!)
6. New scarf from Urban Outfitters that I creeped for like a month before buying since I like most sane people have an aversion to 30 dollars scarves. But alas, I caved.
7. #ARMPARTY (self-explanatory and yes, I had to. Sorry.)
8. Space Invaders mural on a house on my street. How come my house isn't this cool?
9. My mother being her lovely self
10. Zara booties that will haunt my nightmares.

I suspect I am rapidly becoming one of those Instagram people who everyone hates but as such a long time Blackberry user I need a few days to revel in the **amazingness** that is Android. that's right, I finally upgraded to a Samsung Gaalxy S3 after spilling nail polish remover on my last phone (RIP Blackberry) and I haven't put it down since I got it five days ago.

In other news, I got back from Lollapalooza about a week ago and it was seriously the best time of my life. I mentioned in my last post that I was heading there alone as my plans with my friend who was supposed to accompany me fell through - to anyone who is thinking about going to a festival or on a trip by themselves, do it. Don't hold yourself back or have regrets about things you wanted to do but didn't because you didn't have someone else around. I had an amazing time at Lolla - saw artists I had been wanted to see for ages, met some incredibly cool people, and got to experience the lovely city of Chicago. My one recommendation would be to stay somewhere like a youth hostel if you can - it was a great, friendly environment that helped me make a lot of friends.

I would post pictures of my time at Lollapalooza but the reality of the situation is that I was either too busy dancing to take any or looking like a hot mess in the few that I did take. You'll just have to take my word that it was amazing - or even better, go check it out yourselves next year.

It's Been A While

I could give you a thousand reasons why I haven't blogged since February - busy (ridiculously so), broke, lazy, insecure. But as I started this blog as a commitment to myself - both to develop my personal style and be consistent with a personal project (something which I suck at doing, in case you haven't noticed) - I intend to stick with it.

I'm back now, and I'm done questioning and underestimating myself. I'll expand on this more later when I'm feeling a little more articulate.

So Long, Farewell, auf Wiedersehen, Good Night (but only until May 1st.)

Going on hiatus until May 1st, as it is exam period and I generally dress in only comfy (read: ugly) clothing when studying for finals as I am generally locked up in my room or the library. Most depressing time of the year. Not to mention I will also be moving soon and a lot is happening at the moment.

Only pretend online shopping is keeping me alive:

Then I realize that I'm poor and do not have $400 to spend at Aldo, and I get even more depressed.
As is life.

I'll miss blogging dearly. Can't wait for summer - no more school, way more time for blogging.
See you all then!
