SHOES! And Other Things...

As it is the beginning of a new week, I have a new quote. I think this one is really motivational and reminds me that now is the only chance I get at making today worth something. Don't wait for life to happen. Make it happen.


Yesterday is ashes; tomorrow wood. Only today does the fire burn brightly
-Eskimo Proverb

Alright, so the weekend is over. Oh my god, I wasn't sure if I would survive. Of course it was the first week back to school so all us college kids wanna do is get crunk. By that, I mean I was intoxicated for three days straight. I also managed to eat a whole pizza by myself. Trust me, I paid for that later. My Gluten-Free diet was messed up completely and consequently I feel like I have a massive hangover, plus my insides are doing back flips. Not Fun....though the drunken revelry was absolutely hilarious. The reason why I went "all out" with partying this weekend is because I am starting work at Starbucks this coming Thursday, which means no more partying for me since I will be waking up at the crack of dawn on the weekends. I am excited to continue working with Starbucks, where I was working in Seattle for the past two years. It seems like a fun store with a lot of fun people in it!


On the Fashion side of things, I made a few very awesome purchases! At the consignment store I found a pair of turquoise cowboy boots with studs and leather fringe. They are absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to wear jeans and a cute top with these, or even a summery dress. I just loooovvvee them!


I also bought an adorable pair of gloves from U. O., since I left my other pair in a taxi. They are long gloves with a flip-over mitten top. So I can be bare fingered for texting or gripping stuff, but flip over the mitten part to have warm mitten hands! I love it! They were missing a button so I got them for 25% off retail. And they are bright red, super duper cute! I wandered into Goodwill and made another good find. I have wanted a sweater dress forever but I am too much of a cheap skate to buy one from retail. I found this oversized sweater, from the "Tricot Express" brand, which is long enough on me to be a dress. Unfortunately it is a horrible oatmeal color. I bought some dye and I will experiment with that. I might do it tomorrow morning, but I will document it for sure so you guys can see how it turns out! Another favorite I have are Cameos. They are antique carvings, usually in stone. Usually they feature a woman's profile. I absolutely love this vintage look. I bought a beautiful ring in Nordstrom Rack for only $20. I love it so much!




For my drawing class we have to make a mask and then draw it. Well, I got really into the whole mask making process. I used the plaster soaked cloth strips to make a base mask. Then I used the mirror my roommate broke and covered the mask with the pieces. I think it is way better than Lady Gaga's own mask.
