updating

Goddamn, sorry for the inactivity! I've been insanely busy the past two weeks. I'm just finding a spare moment now to just give some sort of update. My birthday was great! I had a fantastic dinner with friends and I laughed the whole time and we took adorable ass pics. Of course they all stole the Instax shots of all of us as a group, but here's some of mostly me and one of me and one other friend.

Been rockin the middle part since this night. Not everyone is a fan, but, as you can guess, I don't care.

Gotten some complaints about looking too mean in pictures... this is just my face... GOD, MOM!

It was so fun and cute love it 

I got some great gifts from my family and friends that are still coming in! I almost feel bad, like, stop giving me presentssss but like, don't stop giving me presents, you know? I've spent almost every gift card I've gotten on makeup ($7 Korean BB Cream. It's dope.) 

I also ordered some dope new black Doc Martens that will be coming in the mail tomorrow I think, and I'm so excited to start using those in outfits. I have a literal boot addiction. I think I own every type of boot under the sun but honestly it's one of my favorite things about myself. Boot squad 

I'm also super extra excited to be touring The New School and Pace in NYC in February. I had a college meeting the other day and a lot of my teachers think I would love Parson's, and I honestly think they're probably right. It seems amazing, but ah-mazingly expensive, so we'll see if 1) I get in when I apply next fall and 2) If someone gives me 40 to 60K to go. laughing crying emoji till I die

I think we're also going to be checking out the MoMA while we're there, which would be so fun and cool, since I haven't been there in ages. I will be making a very detailed post about the trip probably, as I will want all my killer outfits documented and shared with the world. This city deserves only the best of me tbh. it's like so damn spiritual 

I've been doing some pretty great work in my photography lately, here's some stuff from a recent shoot with my NY travel buddy

I was really inspired by Kate Moss' early work in the 90's when she was just a teenager.

Corrine Day

Although I did that one strung-out weird makeup thing, I kept my model looking natural like Moss in her pictures. 

My model was looking very sweet next to Kate's sass level on 100

I'll try not to go this long without posting again! I seriously just need to bump up my GPA tho just a wee bit so I'm feeling the pressure right now, I didn't mean to I swear. I'll post some outfit shit this weekend because I feel like I'm gonna need to look fresh after a week of hoodies and crappy eyelashes because all I'm doing is reading depressing books for AP Literature and crying 

kisses to my bitches 

whats in your girl's bag?

First week back at school. Some adjectives to describe my return to the grind:
-ew
-vomit
-disgusting
-cruel
-sad

I although getting back into my workhorse mentality seems lame right now, the good news is, I'm still alive and my birthday is coming up in a few days, and I will officially be the Dancing Queen. I'll probably make a birthday post with my birthday makeup that I will meticulously plan out, as well as a birthday outfit. Because thats me. ALSO, the new season premier of none other than Broad City is HAPPENING on my birthday. Shoutout to GOD for making that happen this year. You're an actual baller, dude.

 Quick update, I've been looking into getting a new hair straightener that will actually work for both straightening and making those cute beachy waves, and I've been hinting to my family to get me the NuMe Megastar for my birthday. It's gorgeous and works tremendously according to the NuMe Instagram account and countless user reviews. The best part is that they usually have so many promotions going on, all you have to do is check out their RetailMeNot page and use one of their many codes for discounts usually around 70% off. ($160 flat iron magically becomes $70) They also post promotion codes on their Instagram once in awhile. I recommend their website to anyone who's looking for really high quality heat tools like wands and flat irons that can be made much more affordable with a little couponing.

So theres your infomercial.
Moving on,

To have a lil something to distract my fellow babes who have also returned to school this day, heres a  cute & nice official What's in My Groovy Fringey-Ass Disorganized Bag (If You Care) Post.

Here is my dope bag

 So, here you can see my lippy obsession isn't as bad as I make it seem, but really, these are just the tip of the iceberg of what I carry around. That Josie Maran lip/cheek stain is a lifesaver. So moisturizing and flattering (and tastes amazing). Burt's Bees is a given. Not sure why I'm carrying around the super dark purple lipstick. Never know when you need to step it up to vampiress status. And theres a boring but cute & flattering nude/pink Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick.

In the shade 80. And chipped red nail polish is IN this season.

 Here are my other random items. My adorable pouch there is responsible for holding stuff (obviously), and a lighter in case I need to light some candles wherever I go. You never ever know. My portable phone charger is also included here (so helpful, everyone should invest in one). I love it so much and it gets warm when it charges things so its great in the winter. A little tiny bottle of Chloé perfume, for when I just need to spruce it up, and of course, my keys. (Fun fact: I'm so intensley attached to my car keys, when I lost my tie-dye lanyard my boyfriend bought for me on the streets of New York, I cried for at least 10 minutes. I love my keys.)

And I like to travel with my Instax and some film if I'm going out and want to capture some cute teenagery moments.

That's that for a quick post, I plan on going out on a shoot tomorrow inspired by Kate Moss's "heroin chic" era of the 90's. Check back tomorrow or in the next few days for how those turn out!
