neutered fruit

*i see i really like this pose.

spring break is finally here. for most people, that means going to awesome locales, having consequence-free sex with random strangers, and drinking until they can't remember their own names.

for me, it means sleeping in, watching television and playing the  sims all day, and generally being a lazy sack of shit.

i'm also getting my tats, changing my hair--i actually found purple extensions!--and chilling with my family. going well so far. i just wish my bro and my dad actually got along. 

good burger is on tv. last night, the cinematic masterpiece known as you got served was on HBO. what else? spice world. wow. i can't believe we used to dress/talk like that back in the day.

title inspired by st. vincent. this woman is a goddess, and i can't believe i haven't heard her album, strange mercy sooner. "neutered fruit" is probably my favorite track on the album besides "cruel" and "surgeon." she's good at beautiful builds, and seems to love the harmonic voice, mixed with her epic guitar solos. plus, i'm pretty sure it's about unrequited love, and i could write a book on that.

apres 100

i normally don't care for those milestone posts. like, "OMG! this is my 100th post since i started!" and junk like that. because when can you even act like you're accomplishing a lot? do you celebrate 200? 500? 1000? i just post whenever i feel like it (which is hopefully going to be more frequent) and do what i can.  no need for milestones, but the title is actually my internal thought process thinking of that kick ass regina spektor song "apres moi." 

the week is always hectic. the week is filled with petty problems at work, self-doubt, negativity, stressing over class, my grades, my future, etc. i'm always most pleased when i can crawl into my somewhat comfy bed, cuddle with my stuffed bunny--don't act like y'all don't still sleep with a stuffed animal. it takes the place of a human being pretty well until i cross that bridge--and watch the big bang theory episodes on my laptop. i don't necessarily like to go out and party as much anymore. they usually consists of the drunken antics of college kids set the soundtrack of brostep. no thanks. plus, i don't have that many friends anyway--still trying to work on that--so my solitude is fine for now. though it gets annoying at times, like tame impala said, solitude is bliss.

new ideas on the horizon: new tattoos (the strange and beautiful tat i was talking about in this post. i also want new hair extensions. in purple. i think this girl looks amazing with purple hair.

gawd, i'm weird. also want a nose ring. no septum--ouch.--just a regular captive bead ring in my nose. what the fuck, right? do what feels good to you because other people certainly do what they want.

i'm currently on deadline and writing a story about masturbation for the school newspaper. yes, you read that right, and no i'm not making this shit up. my oversexed ass...what a fitting topic.


it was ball-chillingly freezing yesterday, and not even the layering helped. but i looked cute, so it doesn't matter. 


been so busy lately, and no one is ever around to take a few photos. hopefully this will change. i really wanna introduce consistency to this blog, something that left it a long time ago when the owner decided she was too lame to keep it up.


i've been bumping this song for a while. gotta love SBTRKT, even if i don't really like their album. doesn't the lead singer sound like james blake?

there's this theory i'm working on

beret: H&M
necklace: topshop
top: american apparel
coat: H&M


okay, so this is the theory that i have come up with, when it comes to the hierarchy of clothing stores. it's sort of something like this:

• Rainbow - cheap, ugly, skanktastic clothing only consumed by minorities. Lots of "clubwear."
• Wetseal - Same as Rainbow, but a step above, since everyone knows what it is.
• Charlotte Russe - Still cheap, but somewhat classy. Middle ground between Wetseal and A'Gaci.
• A'Gaci - Forever 21's wanna-be little sister.
• Forever 21 - Acceptable, cheap fashion mecca for everyone, despite the sweatshop claims, supposed copyright infringement, and obvious religious affiliation. 
• H&M - Totally acceptable amongst the fashionista set. Good enough to have designers submit their expensive clothes, cheap enough to solicit visitors with their promises of $5 this and $10 that.
• Urban Outfitters - For the hipsters who think they're cool because they paid $75+ for something that looks like it costs way cheaper. Probably have no idea that the outlet exists.
• American Apparel - They barely ever have sales and expect everyone to drop serious cash on a lame stirrup-legginged bodysuit. Tread carefully.
• Topshop - H&M's cooler older sister. This bitch went to college, had at least four different boyfriends, and a life-altering epiphany that made her who she is today. Fucking expensive, and probably only for the richer set. Expect $50 shorts and $100 pairs of jeans if you so desperately want to look like Rihanna.

boots made for walking

Let me just start off by saying I honestly feel like I'm committing some sort of fashion blogger citation by not posting enough pictures of myself. The reason is because my camera sucks an indefinite amount of ass and refuses to even turn on for me, even though I bought fresh batteries. So bare with me here! I'm trying.

Now that I got that out of the way, let's talk shoes.



Argh. Boots that run my whole life, right next to Jeffrey Campbell. Take a good look at the zebra print ones below.



Next, drool over these babies, black studded Jeffrey Campbell peep-toe ankle boots.



Now look even closer at the girl below you, Nicki Minaj. (I feel like I've been mentioning her waaay too much, but I love her style.)



It appears as if the Young Money female equation has combined the Topshop boots with the Jeffrey Campbell studs and made them look ten times more awesomer! And we thought it couldn't be done. . .

Not to be outdone by Ashish, we also have Emma Cook.



Yes. It's that important.



Also. . . a few nights ago i saw this British film called Tormented. For those wondering, all I do is watch movies because I'm bored as hell. Anyways, the movie is about a group of bitchy teenagers who bully a poor kid until he hangs himself. They think he's dead . . . but he's not! His ghost comes back to give them all what they deserve.



I only checked it out because of Alex Pettyfer. Can you say gorgeous? He was a major douchebag in the movie, but it's still a good one if you want to see a bunch of high school assholes get what they deserve. *silently wonders why she's been watching all these British movies lately*
