i'm coming up on infra-red, there is no running that can hide you, 'cause i can see in the dark.

DIPLO FOR ALEXANDER WANG

this is my face right now (source: hark, a vagrant by the amazing incredible kate beaton. basically my favourite webcomic of all time. ever.)
so this happened. i really have two things to say about this:

1. i fucking love alexander wang

2. i fucking love diplo. i know i've linked this before but he is the best part of the video
3. diplo is so hot. the female model, i don't know who she is simply because i don't really give a fuck. she's pretty but nothing special.

4. i can't handle alexander wang. i keep seeing girls with his AMAZING bags and am so fucking jealous.

no glove no love, if you don't believe me get your dirty hands off my umthondo wisizwe!

going to embark upon one of my midwinter weight-loss escapades.

yes those are scars on my legs. yes i did those myself. but regardless of how deep they were, they healed, and they're going to stay healed. which is why i don't mind showing them.

i do mind when people see them and judge me. i'm not saying i had reason to do something like that to myself, or enough reasons, because in my opinion there are not enough reasons in the world. but it's done, i did it. and i'm not ashamed, i'm not embarrassed.
this is a quick post because it's late, i'm tired, and honestly this is just something i put together to go out for a cigarette. i'm on the phone in this picture ha ha ha

shorts - from h&m two summers ago, they were on sale in barcelona for five euros. they are one of about two pairs of shorts i own.

sweater - from search and destroy, which is probably my favourite store of all time. it's on st mark's place in new york and unfortunately doesn't have a website, but it is the most amazing thrift store of all time basically.

it's actually not a "thrift" store. i can't really afford to shop there most of the time. but i got my paycheck in and picked up a few pieces, which i'm sure i'll showcase here over time.

socks - from american apparel, $16. i have three pairs of these in light grey, grey, and black and honestly that is not enough. these are amazing. super warm, very basic and very cute without being as douchebaggy as tights tend to be. last seen here in black.

this post is really wordy, i apologize. i'm in a verbose state of mind i think.

here is what is happening right now and why i am not posting:

(i am doing this post because i just realized there are people following me [people i don't know in real life] [real internet people!!] and i dont want you guys to think i am a bad blogger)

1. because school just started, that's important. i don't want to fuck up this semester... even though i have 8 a.m. classes for three days in a row. (and no i did not fuck up last semester dont chew worry)

2. i have to work. i do some writing type stuff (nothing creative, i am not so lucky) which takes a bit of time.

3. world of warcraft. although i just hit the level at which i need to buy burning crusade, so wow might not be a serious problem for a little bit.

4. shopping

5. it's winter. i'm fucking unmotivated. next time i can i'll drink a strong cup of tea with four sugars and post like a madwoman.

and i know what youre saying ''BUT YOU JUST WROTE THIS LIST WHEN YOU COULD HAVE POSTED SOMETHING REAL'' but i am in my pyjamas.

someone took my photo for a fashion blog today so i think maybe i'm doinitrite?

i'll link to it if it gets put up.

my friend miguel took the pictures in this post on fashion's night out. waaaaay back in september.

i connected speakers to my suitors at the discotheques, and they don't know the difference. are they men, or are they memorex?

gratuitous-ish, but wanted to show you that i'm just wearing a bra underneath the lace. going hardcore after 19 inches of snow!
tights - urban outfitters, probably around $15, super cute and i hardly wear them and i don't know why.

bracelet - gift
top - lace "onesie" from h&m. i hate the onesie type things i know they are called leotards but come on they have snaps they are a onesie. but sometimes i just cannot resist.

velvet skirt - still debating on how much i like this. it was $7 on sale at h&m and i've been crushing on it since it was full price, but i feel like it looks kind of bulky and weird and makes my hips look even huger than they really are (which is, let me tell you, quite a feat). which is why i wore it with basically nothing on top, i figured something bulky and something minimal might go together alright.

also, i watched clueless today and that may or may not have inspired things a little bit.

ashes to ashes, funk to funky, we know major tom's a junkie.

i NEVER wear my hair like this, my bangs are a security blanket, but i decided what the hell and attempted a basket-case-from-the-breakfast-club-post-makeover sort of thing.

geddit?

dress - $40ish from h&m, which is a lot for a dress (for me) but i really really liked it and i fit an extra-small so i thought because it was being all nice to me i'd buy it. h&m doesn't have a webstore :/

belt - $10ish from h&m

headband: $4.80 from forever21, here (i hate forever21 so much as a concept but its got such cheap shiiiiit)

socks: $15 from american apparel, find them here and last seen here

shoes: on clearance at target, dolce vita brand. i think i bought them for less than listed here but there they are, and they're 50% off regardless :)

it's not right for young lungs to be coughing up blood

earmuffs - search and destroy vintage - $12

coat - goodwill - $20

belt - boyfriend's

skirt - from house of kashmir in state college, pa, around $20 or so
slip - forever21 - can't find online but found in most of the stores i've been to for around $15
