UO Records

The other day, I went to a Urban Outfitters in Washington DC (sadly there is no UO nearby where I live). While looking through their awesome, fantastic, magical stuff, I came across RECORDS. Okay.. this might not be a big deal for you, but for me IT WAS A HUGE DISCOVERY OKAY? At first, I felt kind of dumb for  not knowing that they had them... Then, I started carefully looking through the different records. UO is just such a killer store! They even had records of new bands such as Foster the People, Florence + the Machine, and Adele...yes, Adele.
Another reason I like them is because of their album artwork. Sometimes I do.. let's say: "judge a record by it's cover". hehe.. But really, some of their covers are true pieces of art.
I've firmly decided what I want for Christmas this year ;)

New Order

Father John Misty - Fear Fun LP

I do not have a record player, so I'm probably going to buy one at an antique store or at eBay for a reasonable price.

A POWERFUL Tunic

At the end of the year, my school gives out the stuff that students have left behind in classrooms throughout the entire year. In the huge pile of books, clothing, pencils, and jewlery, I found a really, really, REALLY nice flower print SPRING (silk) tunic (I can't believe no one came to pick it up!). For some strange reason, when I wear it, it really makes me feel confident and awesome. It's like it has magical POWERS! It's funny because I found it on the day before the final exams, when you NEED to feel confident and awesome :)
To change the subject, I finally changed my header! (yaay for mee!) Changing the design of this blog is super fun, so I do it all the time (unless..of course I like how it looks ).
Here below, I posted some pictures from Internet k-hole. That site (honestly) has so many  random pics...but I am absolutely in love with it! These photos (below) were taken around the 60's and 70's.
I think we can really get some inspiration from their styles.

So, that's about it for now... I will be STUDYING this entire weekend and next week...but I'll definitely make some time to post ;)

Have  a great Friday!

Just Another Spring Day

     I'm thinking about changing my header image...I might go for something simpler right now, because I think it's a little too crowded... So, what's been going on lately? Well, exams are next week and I still have to study for them like crazy (hmm) My teacher handed out an Algebra I review sheet today, and honestly, there were things on it that we haven't done in centuries )*sniff, sniff*
     At our school, we stop wearing uniforms in high school. And guess what? I'M GRADUATING THE 8TH TOMORROW! (HURRAY! for meee) so that means that I can now start wearing my own clothes to school! (which I haven't done since elementary school) SO sometime during the summer, I'll go to a thrift store and do the shopping there. You're probably like"WHAAAT?? YOU'RE SHOPPING AT A THRIFT STORE?? EEWWW" *cough* but it's actually really awesome (thank you once again Rookie!). You can get great clothes for really great prices (so basically that means that it's a WIN for me).

My currently favorite song

"eet"

Anyway, it's kind of incredible that I've actually written more than 10 posts on this blog. I've always tried to keep my blogs up, but always failed (except for this time :)) Tavi really inspired me, and I'm extremely grateful that there are brave people like her in the world who inspire other people to try new things.
Some spring vibe pictures from Favim and Patternity before leaving:

Fairytales and Princesses

     Couldn't blog this weekend because I went to my mom's friend's house in Washington DC. Her friend has four year old twins that are turning five on Monday. Their birthday party was today. Watching them play reminded me of my childhood, and how happy it was. It reminded me of that world with no limits. Where I could be a princess, live in a castle, have magical talking animal friends, and live happily ever after, where in reality, it doesn't work that way... It's sad to think they at as we get older, we tend to not be as imaginative as we used to be (in some cases)... Like these girls were BURSTING with imagination! Everything they saw was magical and bright. I'm really happy I got to spend time with them, because I haven't been around many five year olds.
I cannot publish this post without posting a couple of pictures related to this subject (hehe). So here they are below.

So BEAUTIFUL!

All of the pictures from Favim.

     Also, went to a UO in Washington DC, and discovered that they had records of new bands (in my mind, that's like the awesomest thing). I feel so stupid for not knowing that before... Well, at least now I know what I'm asking for Christmas this year!

Zine Cover

How is it possible to talk to someone for hours and hours about anything , and then log on Blogger and have nothing to say? (I'm so ashaaameeed!) Really...
Let me just start by posting (finally!) a picture of the COVER of my zine.

Drawn with a sharpie and called 14 Years. It contains photographs and memories collected throughout the fourteen years of my life. I started the first two pages but haven't had time to finish the rest, so that's all I have so far. I might sell them for less than $1 each (including shipping) when finished :)

Fall Collections 2012

Just examining the FALL 2012 collections on the Vogue website. I have to admit, I haven't really been involved in fashion much until these couple of months, but I've always liked the the idea that one can express themselves with different outfits. Go individualism!

Below: Miu Miu

Alexander McQueen

Chanel 

Future+Past

I haven't posted the pictures of the zine yet because of my lack of time..but not to worry! I will be out of school in about two weeks (yeeeahhh). We finally all got our yearbooks yesterday. It's incredible how fast and school year passes by...

Also, I've been snacking on Rookie lately every night. I love that magazine! (it's my fave <3)  It discusses just about EVERY PROBLEM teenage girls face. It's like a guide to LIFE! (this is why I'm tired every morning :p but it definitely worth it!)

Finally, I would like to share a video of Madonna preforming "Material Girl" on stage. I was searching her music on YouTube and this came up (it's worth watching). I just had to share itttt!

Toodles!

Short Playlist

Hey hey hey! This is going to be a short post because I have to study for 2 tests... so, before I go:  HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL OF THE MOTHER'S OUT THERE! and also, I was exploring the web on Friday (again) when I found some really nice songs I would like to share. I'll buy them as soon as I get a new iTunes gift card (but I want them nooowwww).

Here's a short playlist of the songs:

You really get the feeling of them when you close you eyes :) Well, got to go! see you again soon!
