are you a nasty gal?

alright. heres the deal.

so basically for months i have been drooling over the alexander wang rocco bag as im sure basically everyone has.

then...i was doing my usual online shopping therapy when i came across nastygal. ive heard about it before but never really browsed it. but then the purse gods came and lead me to this...


yeah thats right. a knock off.

im impressed. i mean its not leather but i dont wear/carry leather anyways. unless its vintage. basically, im beyond stoked. see you in 5-10 business days baby.

heres more drool-worthy items:



















ps. i dont think ive ever been so tempted to use my visa.

pss. resisting....not for long though.

unknown



Don’t fix it if it hasn’t broken yet
Don’t regret it if it hasn’t happened yet
So let’s go,
A tiny spark to set it off
And explode.
Ignite the dark,
illuminate the unknown,
But since your heads in the clouds,
the best advice I found is don’t look down.

yes, i blog in class.


hello reading week.

seriously i need this break.
ive been getting stress migraines or something i swear. so many deadlines. but i guess this is technically what i want since it is a key factor in the career itself.

ive been so busy that ive been slacking on friends/hobbies. it is unfortunate. but this week will hopefully be my chance to relax and catch up.



heres one of the projects i recently finished.
such a relief. you have no idea.

keep in mind this is my first attempt at motion graphics.
i think now, im going to start posting my work on here. just to keep track of my progress and possibly get some feedback.



note to self: catch up on 365.....fuck.

"I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different "kind"
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines"

zero




there was nothing.

nothing else to say.
nothing else to feel.
nothing else to see.

we have nothing.

but at the same time there was everything.

everything i didnt want to say.
everything i didnt want to feel for you.
everything i didnt want to see.




overdue



apparently i forgot i even had a blog.

i never post anymore. school is taking over my life one short film, poster design, and sketch at time. i cant wait until "reading week" so i can finally get some solid sleep* in.

speaking of sleep*, my birthday is next weekend and i am closing in on two decades of life. yes twenty. isn't that awful. id rather stay young forever. but i guess twenty isn't that old. but twenty is almost 25, which is almost 30, then next thing you know im 40 with two kids and an alcoholic husband with a beer gut. hopefully that doesn't happen and adam brody** finds me somehow.

*sleep=drinks + lack of sleep
**or any other guy that fits my "interests" for that matter


in other news,

i came across this website, SHOP W.A.S

this girl has amazing talent. man i gotta get back into D.I.Y. the cross necklace is amazing and im still debating whether or not to shell out 50 dollars of my "hard" earned retail job cash.


yep, its beautiful.

im expecting to win the lottery soon, even though i dont buy tickets, which i guess is essential in winning.

where do i get seeds for a money tree? reply back please.

im serious.

lovely



“These were the lovely bones that had grown around my absence:
the connections - sometimes trenuous, sometimes made at great cost,
but often magnificent - that happened after I was gone.
And I began to see things in a way that let me hold the world without me in it.
The events that my death wrought were merely the bones of a body
that would become whole at some unpredictable time in the future.
The price of what I came to see as this miraculous body had been my life."
