Stuff I love Sunday!

This cute little dress. So adorable for a little girl, but seriously. I need one of those in my size.

The Head and the Heart can do no wrong. They made these stickers a while ago, and while the majority of the time I favor Portland over Seattle, Washington will always be home. This decal always reminds me of my favorite THATH lyric, "you're already home where you feel loved." They need to make more of these puppies because my laptop feels sad without it.

The blog Sunshine and Carousels has probably the most awesome cupcake recipes I have ever seen. I want to try every single one of them before the summer is over. For my first one, I think I am going to make the Berry Lemonade cupcakes. Those look like summer time heaven.

If you have not seen the 3 part interview series Stephen Colbert does with Jack White, shame on you. Its on Hulu, it is hilarious, and you will love it. I mean, I loooooved it. When I am bored I go and watch it. Jack White is extremely attractive. Ugh.

Triumph!

Tonight I am going out with some of my favorite people in the entire world to do one of my entire things in the entire world. Who are these people, and what am I doing?!? I am going out with some of my best gay friends and we are going to a drag show! I seriously love and respect drag queens so much, they are beautiful and fascinating and talented and hilarious. I can't wait, this night has been a long time coming. So for tonight, I have been trying to figure out what to wear, it is a crucial part of my night to be dressed perfectly. If you know me, you know I hate wearing jeans. So it was quite shocking when I decided to put on the one pair of jeans I do own. I bought them at the beginning of senior year. When I put them on, yeah, they were a little snug, but damn, I liked it. So I might be brave and wear them tonight. and who knows? I am inspired to go out and buy some new jeans! What is this world coming to!?

Sheer joy in my face after wearing these puppies. Thanks to photo booth, they look black, but they are really just a dark indigo blue. Pretty nice stuff.

Also, I never wear heels. I am not good at walking in them at all, I look like such a fool. But I found amazing black velvet thick heeled pumps at Urban Outfitters on sale, and I had to get them. They really do look amazing with the jeans, and I think my tattoo looks badass.

I've read from numerous bloggers that if you have problems finding jeans, you should go to Levi's. I have had problems with jeans my entire life. Being short and not pin thin leads to weird issues. I usually find that my jeans are always too long, and sometimes too big in the booty, which is depressing. But Levi's has soooooo many options. They have petite jeans, which is a god send for little midgets like myself. No more going to the seamstress to get them hemmed! Also, they have amazing skinny jeans, because lets be honest, who wears boot cut anymore? So not hip.

A little DIY

Since I have come to the realization I won't be getting a summer job, I've decided to become crafty. Literally, I am going to spend my time doing crafts until I die. I've been sewing tote bags for a while, and I am picking that back up. Once I have perfected the bag again, I will probably be selling them, so if you are interested, hit me with a text. I am also scouring the web for fun project restyles, I have been so inspired! I only hope to one day have enough creativity as Veronika from Tick Tock Vintage. She is amazing!

I was just at the fabric store yesterday, and I tried to buy some suede, but it was about 20 dollars a yard! whaaaaaaat. Going to a thrift store to get fabric swatches from random clothes is such a smart, cheap alternative.

come on, this is seriously amazing. It just goes to show you that with a little DIY hard work, anything you can get at a thrift store can be transformed into something cute. I want to try!

also, I am convinced this is one of the most beautiful songs eveeeer. I can't stop listening to every live version of Conor J O'Brien on youtube. So good!

4th of July!

I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July, mine was interesting. My dad is quite the pyro, and he played a little prank on me in the morning. He bought a huge smoke bomb, and lit it under my car, so when I went outside my car was smoking like no other, it looked like it was about to explode. I couldn't get mad at him because it was his birthday, but Terry. I will be getting you back.

My sister and I decided to make fourth of july red velvet cupcakes. They were made from scratch, were super easy, and turned out quite delicious. They were a little too bright red for my liking, but it seemed appropriate for the holiday. We topped em with some home made cream cheese frosting and they were all gone by the end of the night!

I went to one of my best friend's houses for a party. Sadly he wasn't there because he thinks he is too cool and went to Florida, but I still had fun anyways. There was much pranking, mischief, and drinking involved. Which is always the case when it comes to my family. After having to take my dad home ( lets just say he had a little too much fun) we lit fireworks and all that other fun stuff. My sister and I tried to take cool sparkler pictures, but we didn't really know what we were doing and were too lazy to figure out how to do it right. They were on the verge of looking extremely cool though.

My sister looks like a wizard. I love that picture.

Stuff I love Sunday!

I scoured the interwebz, thought about things I love in my life currently, and found this is what makes me happy! And I hope it makes you happy!

Goldendoodles. I really, really, really want an English Bulldog and name him Dude. But this precious little shaggy thing makes me rethink everything. If I had a Goldendoodle I would name him Moe. This guy just looks like a Moe. I think it is his eyes.

Steak Tartare. Now, some of you may think this is nasty as hell, and I wouldn't blame you. I mean, the concept of eating raw meat is a little frightening. I tried it in France for the first time and fell in love. Tartare is one of my favorite foods ever. I like anything raw really. Tartare is served best with a quail egg yolk, that you pour on top and mix in. MMmmmMMMm. I took this photo at French Bistro in Portland, which sadly, has shut down.

Almost every girl I know loves Audrey Hepburn. But I've taken a whole new liking to her. Of course I have seen Breakfast at Tiffany's, who hasn't? Now, thanks to all of my free time, I am reading the book by Truman Capote. I love, love, love it so far. It is fun to have a clear image of Holly Golightly in my mind when I am reading. I also love her eye makeup in this photo.

Tyler the Creator's tweets are priceless. There are no words. Following him was a good choice.

Last but not least, a little playlist of music and artists I've been enjoying at the moment. I think my favorite song is the one by CocoRosie. The song is so creepy, but at the same time, super relaxing. Slip on some bigass expensive headphones and lay on your bed and close your eyes and listen to that song. It is bliss.

Happy Birthday!

Tomorrow is the 4th of July, which is also my dad's birthday! Exciting! I am making him a really nice gigantic picture frame for his new office, and I think he will love it. I am using a lot of pictures he has never really had a chance to enjoy, because they are on my computer, so I hope it is special to him.

Last night, before I went out, my friend and I enjoyed some less than stellar mixed drinks. ( I am talking ice, cranberry juice, lemonade and bacardi just blended together, not so yummy.) While sippin' on those, we were watching Animal Planet, which had some show on about cute dogs. This was the winner of the cutest dog award, and I just about died. Enjoy!

Bit of Style

BREAKING NEWS. Right now I am all about neutral accessories paired with bright dresses. I mean, I would much more inclined to do so if I had the funds to purchase said neutral accessories, but you know, I can imagine myself doing so. Anyways, I took a little break and picked out some of my favorite things on the world wide shopping interweb, and threw them together in a messy jumble for you to look at. Enjoy!

MIX THESE

WITH THESE

and I will be in superficial fashion heaven. Nothing wrong with that!
