painted walls



dress/lace scarf: borrowed // cardigan: target // floral scarf/pokemon badge: matt // eevee brooch c/o denton's inventions




Since getting my Eevee brooch, I figured it would be a marvelous idea to wear it with my pokemon badge! When I was little, my brothers and I would sit around our little 12 inch tv and watch pokemon, and only after we were hooked did our mom not let us watch it. As little kids are though, we kept watching it, but only when she ran errands or when we snuck out of the room late at night. Man, we were rebels. We even had some pokemon action figures and I would play in their room and we would go on fantastic adventures of saving the world as Swampert or Charizard. Of course, now that my little sister is old enough to watch it my mom lets her (the youngest kid always gets away with everything), but I get to watch the newer episodes with her. It's not like the original though. *sigh* Nothing beats the classics!




Nowadays, the only time I'm even near a tv is early in the morning for my fitness class, and even though only sports or the news comes on, everyone is glued to the glowing light, probably because they're exhausted and it's their only connection to the outside world. My friends and I have managed to stay sane all thanks to hulu and netflix. We've already finished watching Sherlock and are still working through Community, with a little bit of X Factor and The Voice thrown in. I just love late nights in the dorm room when we are all gathered around the laptop laughing or crying at some tv show.





Well, it's another holiday today! I'm planning on going to my first Halloween party ever and I can't wait! It's going to be a blast. I hope you guys have a great and safe holiday.

wishing for winter



day 303

Not much to say about today. The usual occurred: I had an okay idea for a 365 but then I accidentally slept until it was already dark outside. Thankfully Mai was walking in our hallway and agreed to let me take a picture of her. So at least it's not me in a photo. That's a plus, at least. But anyways, tomorrow is Halloween!


I choose you



shirt/tights: borrowed // tank top (undershirt)/shoes: target // skirt: forever 21 // eevee brooch: c/o denton's inventions // earrings: thrifted




And another brooch has been added to my ever expanding collection! This little pokemon was sent to me by my Michael's cashier in Alaska, of all places. Denton makes really awesome knitted and crocheted things that just blow my mind. You can check out his blog here to see his other creations and even request an item!

As for me, I really love my little Eevee. Every time I look down and see him, he makes me smile. It's like carrying a real pokemon with you everywhere!




And aren't those earrings just the craziest things you've ever seen? I'm pretty sure the previous owner was a crazy cat lady grandma, and every time she wore those earrings her cats would bat at them. I like them because they are just crazy enough for me, but still not too crazy.




Hope you guys have a fantastic Tuesday!

carry on, my dear



day 302



Model is Abby. She kindly agreed to model for my 365 today!

I think I'm finally starting to figure out how to create photos in the style that I love the most. That's not to say I'm going to force myself to stick to one photographic style, but I'm just happy I can finally pinpoint the aspects I love the most.
