♥ ☆ ♥ Dream Come True ♥ ☆ ♥

EEK! I just finished applying to college (literally minutes ago)! I'm dying of happiness, I can't even express how much less stressed I feel all of the sudden. (Though waiting for a reply feels like death)
My friends and I are going out tomorrow night (even though it's not in celebration of me finishing my apps, I like to pretend it is, because it's perfect timing) to a nice dinner and I'm going to the White Elephant Sale again, which I'm super excited about since I actually have money this year. 
I cut my bangs again a little while ago, which has since proved to be a mistake, but when I first cut them they looked HELLA cute (see below photos for proof). I'm too impulsive eek it's becoming a problem. 
Anyway, look how cute these outfits are (not going to be modest, I look hella cute wearing my fuckin adorable skirt, Meadham Kirchhoff socks and jelly shoes, like each of those things are a dream come true. I can't.)


This is a piece for my AP Art Concentration of my friend Natalie (I'm so excited for how the collection is turning out)

This is another piece for my concentration of Eryn. I built this terrarium myself! I, like, cut the glass and soldered it together and everything. Plus I planted the cute af cactuses in it eek

LOOK AT MY DAMN JELLY SHOES ARE THEY NOT THE MOST PERFECT THINGS??? (also my aunt bought me some stuff from the Meadham Kirchhoff/Topshop collaboration and I can't even deal with how perfect it all is, god look at those fuckin' socks)

I did this painting over break, idk there are some things off with it, but I still like it so

My mom sewed all this Robin Sparkles stuff on my jean jacket for when I was Robin for Halloween, and I never took it off cause it's perf


I took these videos of my old journals a while ago, and never posted them here, but they go with this post, so here they are, finally



Another journal video. I forgot how good this journal was until I pulled it out to take this video
Hope you are all having a lovely weekend :)

Outtakes

The theme of the month on The Pulp Zine is Time Travel! Since Ava was around for Christmas, we got together and I shot some pretty rad photos of her.  The photos are up here on TPZ, but since it was a three day shoot, I got a bunch of photos that didn't work with the narrative/theme that were still really cool and I wanted to share, here are some of the best.
(outfit post coming soon I promise!)

Happy New Year! This year has been sorta crazy for me, and it's gone by way too fast.

As it's the new year, I feel like I should share some of the amazing moments of this year: 

 I went to the England and saw the Harry Potter Studio Tours
 I met Ellie and Ophelia when visiting England
 I finished these two journals
 I sang a solo in my schools a capella review//  I went to NCS with my track team
 I got accepted into School of the Art Institute of Chicago
 I finished my summer journal also. 
 I became a contributor for the Pulp Zine and debuted with this post^
 I finished an art piece for my AP art concentration
I finished another piece for my AP art concentration
I went to Italy with my family

As well as being the first day of the new year, it is also the third year anniversary of this blog! As a commemoration to the last three years, here is a progression of my style from 2011 to the present: 

2011:


2012:


2013:


It's been a fantastic three years, and even though some of the early outfits are embarrassing and what I wrote then is much worse, it's worth it to have something so well documented. I'm sure it will turn out like my journals, where enough time makes it funny instead of embarrassing. 

Idk it's late. I can't do much more talking, I'm too tired. Happy New Year!!
