Beach Day

 It's a shame that blogger deteriorates the image quality so much when I upload photos here.
I took this photo on a Canon 35mm and edited it through Adobe Photoshop. With a little help from one of the few Walgreens that still develops film, they took my negatives and converted them to jpeg files on a disk so I could edit them on my computer.
I love how this photo balances Matt with his two brothers (Chris is in front of the sail boat wayyyy in the back) in a perfect equilibrium.
Needless to say, it was a beautiful day to take pictures.

Just in Case the Whole, Shitting-In-Landfills Thing Didn't Matter to You...

Riddle me this, when did CONSERVATION stop being conservative? It's in the name, isn't it?

One Man's Trash

Went to a hospital thrift store today. Had some really great stuff, super unique and eclectic.



I found this skirt in the children's section (hooray for being 5'3"). It's pretty high waist on me, and it falls at about mid thigh. I can't tell if that's how it was made to fit or if it was supposed to be a really long skirt on a very young girl.

These flour and sugar containers are so Art Deco, no? I have a cool clock that I purchased a while back that would look beautiful with these in my next kitchen.


Annnnd that's all I could carry in a paper grocery bag on my bike handlebars. Definitely need to head back there ASAP. There's a pair of candlestick holders with my name on them.

Gimme Gimme Gimme

I don't really diversify my array of shoe styles. I feel like my shortness just makes me look like a child playing dress-up whenever I wear heels. Flats are too girly, and they never have enough arch support. The only shoes I ever feel truly comfortable in are over sized heavy boots. You know, big enough to kick off easily and to get some nice air flow going.

I used to wear Dr Martens back in my grade school days with my plaid skirt and monogrammed sweater vest. Despite how much I might have disdained that pair I once owned, I am absolutely in love with this pair of 1460s in Navy. Definitely don't wear enough blue on my feet.

If you happen to be a prospective internet sugar-daddy, please contact me about sending these my way ASAP.

Sincerely,

A very broke girl.

You Bitches Can Keep Your Dubstep...

I prefer something you can ACTUALLY dance to. I fucking love this song and I can't believe that I JUST found out that it had a video. It's cool that Dillon Francis and Diplo are actually in it, I feel like you never see that with DJs.

Cities Fall Down on Me

This song scares me and I'm absolutely in love with it. I saw Crystal Castles by accident at Lollapalooza in 2010 and despite admiring Alice for her fascinating stage persona, it took me two years to get into them.

Perfect Day to Sail

Why does film always look so romantic? I shot this on an old Canon 35mm. Sorry about the image quality, blogger will only let me upload 8mb. I think you can clickery clickery click on the image though.

sappy as fuck...

He's so sweet I wanna smash his face with a sledgehammer.

She Done It Again... [insert eye roll here]

Is it possible to lipo the baby fat out of your face and inject it into your ass?

This is a photo of wannabe ho-bag and Pretty Reckless frontwoman Taylor Momsen in FHM Magazine. Think that's anything to be proud of? Consider this: they made Rachael Ray a centerfold too (Anyone else noticing a kitchen motif? How uninspired...) Wompp wommmmmp.

My oh my, would you look at those pot-leaf patterned underwear? What sort of deviant behavior is she going to shock us with next? Egads!

Maybe if she spent less time getting all those extensions glued in her hair and more time actually learning to play an instrument (yeah, simple guitar is nothing to brag about) we'd stop thinking she's a total joke.

I Love This Wallpaper!

New Skirt

Petticoat, to be more specific. But I'm not saying no to wearing it alone. It's reversible, so you can decide to make it more or less poofy. I've been wanting it for a while, and I finally decided I just needed to buy the fucking thing because it wasn't getting any cheaper. (American Apparel doesn't really do "seasons") I'm so happy with this skirt though! The construction is beautiful, well worth the 70 smackers I paid for it.

Best. Valentine. Ever.

Why am I so lucky?

Are You Allowed to Pick Out Your Own Wedding Band?

Not unless you're a whiny, high-maintenance bitch. But hey, a girl can dream, can't she?

Give Yourself Over

I can't help but be absolutely consumed by this video when I am stoned. Thom is brilliant and In Rainbows is quite possibly my favorite Radiohead album.

I Love This Perfume

From Bath and Body Works, it has lotion and body wash and shit that goes with it, but I just use the perfume. It's got a nice warm spiciness to it, but it's also very pretty and clean smelling. And compared to the other perfume I own, it's the cheapest one for sure.

New Shit

Matt decided to wire a button-activated kill switch on this shitty-ass pink Squier:
I painted the Fender-fonted "Fuck You" on the body over the summer. Speaking of painting, the two of us decided to paint the panels on this Fender cabinet neon yellow and pink:


The colors look even better in real life. There is actually a second matching cabinet to that one, so next time I'm feeling ambitious I can paint the other one and we'll have a set. They're such cool looking speakers, aren't they? So old school and classy feeling...

I also hung up these lanterns I got from party city in my room. They actually light up the room a lot better in real life, I just metered it funny so it would look more dramatic.

What's this?

An all-girl band that's actually good at their instruments?


This is Warpaint and their song Undertow

Matt's Birthday

Fuck Instagram:

21 Candles!!

I decided I like slicing the garlic bread downwards like that, to keep it all in one piece while it bakes. I used to just slice a baguette lengthwise.

I hate salad.

Cake is pretty good though.

Reluctant

Camera fail.
