obi sash + i'm alive, promise!

 I'm alive. I promise.

May, to a college student, means homework.

And finals.
(And procrastination)

So my mom was really nice and bought me a new swimsuit! I lovelovelove one pieces and I've been on the look for a good one for a while now. I stumbled upon this little number and I had to have it. Of course, it came with an obi sash and "instructions" but, obviously, I am terrible at following them so I have no idea if I tied it right or something. I promise I'll have another update...soonish! This time, documenting my adventures in Florida!

LOVELOVE, JULIA

IV.  and then sushi for dinner.

V. International Pillow Fight Day.

VI.  Strand bookstore.

VII.  Max Brenner's for chocolate fondue.

XI.  Chinatown for comfort food..

XII.  STRFKR teasers.

(look out for their feature in Fluorescent Adolescent Magazine's debut issue, out in late May/early June!) 

ETC.  and some other things...
(that happened without photographic evidence)


• i had to bring my camera in to be fixed. it set me back $200. (BROKE COLLEGE STUDENT)
• i'm going to FLORIDA/DISNEY WORLD/HARRY POTTER WORLD for my Spring Break!
• i went to the dentist. that lady has a vendetta against me. she clipped my lip.
• i ate more food.
• okay that's about it.


 Wow. That was the longest week I've ever had. And it's been especially long since I've updated which is SUPER TERRIBLE of me. I know. I know. And, if you've read the bullet points above, this silence is going to be prolonged for a little while because I get to go to Florida from the 15th to 25th of this month! Which is a yay for me, and a nay for all you curious readers. Sorry! SO SORRY. I feel really bad because I've been keeping a journal (like a real one. It's Hello Kitty and has stickers, so it's pretty legit), but I haven't had the time to actually blog about it. I like blogging better because it has pictures and I'm more of a visual person than a verbal person (as you can probably tell). I hope everyone's lives are much more simple and less hectic than mine. I am such a homebody. I wish I could just sit at home on my butt and do nothing all day.

I need to go shopping for Florida! Which means I want to buy a pair of TOMS! You guys should help me narrow down my choices.

OLIVE, NAVY, OR ASH?

LOVELOVE, JULIA

1. Yes, I am terrible for not updating for like...two weeks. Or something like that. I wore this outfit to an interview with Express. I asked my dad (of all people) what he thought about my outfit and all he could say was, "It's too gray." But that's okay. Oh, and did I mention, it was/is hailing, sleeting, raining, snowing after a brief spell of the 70's. Isn't that terrible? And I wore flats, too. Let's just say that I kind of sort of maybe slipped after getting off the bus to get home. Not. Fun.
   
   
2. For all you sneakerheads/hypebeasts, check out my friend's clothing label, AIREAL APPAREL: Official Site & Tumblr.
   
   I don't know what the quote/phrase/saying means, but the heart is cute!
   
3. During one of my (many) late night study/homework sessions (aka: I procrastinated), my dad made me a midnight snack! Also, can you believe that I fell asleep last night after a 15 minute nap around 2 a.m while doing my paper? I wrote the introduction. I woke up at 7 a.m (while having class in three hours) and churned out the fastest paper I ever wrote. I can't believe I pulled it off. Two words:
   
   NEVER. AGAIN. (Maybe.)
   
4. I WENT SHOPPING. I KNOW. I KNOW. IT'S SO BAD. But here are my new babies! Tommy Hilfigier boots. They are awesome. I can't wait to wear them in the spring too. The best part about them? THEY HAVE TRACTION. So I can wear it out in the snow and frolic.
   
5. Pink cropped sweater. Dove print blazer. Pink lace dress. Mint green and pink skirts. I can't wait for spring.

Now I have to sew skirts for a performance on Saturday. At least I don't have class tomorrow. So tell me about your week, you guys! I'm super curious! SERIOUSLY. TELL ME ABOUT YOUR WEEK. Or I'll cry. And that's totally not cool. 

UNTIL NEXT TIME, LOVELIES.

i'm sorry for not updating as much.

life is busy. school is busy. i'm a busy body!

the seemingly warm weather lets me believe i can go out with no tights.

(too bad i've been stuck at home with the stomach virus)

dressing up makes me feel better.

i also cleaned out my closet, which is how i found this top.

it makes me feel

like a wood nymph.
