procrastination at its finest.

the only little man i have room for in my life. he might be small but he takes up a lot of room.

footnote: this is not my child. he is my cousin. just want to clear that up.

so my school friend turned pretty much best friend is moving to new york in june. i normally dont like to think about it because i know im going to miss the living daylights out of her, (idk why i just decided to talk like a 70 year old woman right there) but im not going to lie i am going to have fun visiting her.

so i would like to own this bathing suit. of course if i had it my way i would have it in color but they only offer it in black or white.

If I could of worn anything in the world ..

i love this outfit. of course i say that every week. the thing i love most about outfit is how simple it is. the dress is simple, the accessories are simple and the shoes are a twist on a classic. i would wear this just about anywhere. if you ever are interested on reading the type on here so you can see where i found all of the components of this outfit, just click on the picture and it will make it bigger.

Too Cute Tuesday! a day late and missing my laurens. check out how cute they were here. sorry for the crappy picture. i was in line to see george lopez live .. im not a huge fan of his but the tickets were free and i was like hey why not?

Color Combination is what Counts ..

just livin’ a bugs life at disneyland.

What I Wore

i am so sorry. i told you all here that i would show you what i wore for valentines day but i have failed you. ok let me let you in on a little secret. how i shoot these “what i wore” pictures is during the week if i wore something that i thought was particularly cute i take a picture f it with my phone so i can remember what i wore exactly and then after about 3 weeks of collecting, one weekend i get all dolled up and take a whole batch of them so then i dont have to do this picture taking thing every week because with having to take 20 hours of school a week it can get a little hectic. like this week. holy moly was this week a hard one. it consisted of red light tickets, locking my keys in my car twice, getting in a 5 car pile up on a major highway and then my camera breaking in the wreck. SAD FACE, i know! so luckily for all you guys i have some cuteness saved in a little blue folder called “blog” on my desk top. SOOO ANYWAYS … this outfit is one of my favorites. i love that little skirt. yea its kinda short but who cares, im young. i better show my legs off while they still look good right? this outfit i would wear out to a bar or even to school (because thats where i pretty much live my life these days) i love paring colors together. dont be afraid of color or not matching. colors are only colors. they all love each other.

earrings: forever21
necklace: H&M
cami: forver21
cardigan: nollie
belt: urban outfitters
skirt: bongo/thirfted
boots: steve madden

i really need to switch up my shoes. its just been cold at night so they are easy. im sorrrrrry! dont judge me!

I would just like to say a big thank you to all my readers new and old. I love that I can share all the things I do with you all. Its like you guys are my own personal set of imaginary friends but you are real at the same time? I know that doesn’t make sense but still thanks for stopping by every once and a while to see what I’m doing, what I’m wearing, cool things I find and everything in between. If you ever have any questions or responses you can always leave me a comment and I will respond as soon as possible. once again thanks and welcome!

If I could of worn anything in the world ..

although this isnt as daring as my original outfit, i still would wear the crap out of it! i feel like this less harsh/nautical outfit could take a normal day and and make it just a bit brighter. to be honest i feel like this outfit fits me better only because i am so not a black-wearer in the least bit. i love color way too much to not be covered in it!

do your part and make sure to be bffs with a black person this month!

Color Combination is what Counts ..

this was taken in a little kite shop that i have been going to since i was young. i took my phone and shot the picture through a 99cent kaleidoscope.

Too Cute Tuesday! after we stuffed our faces at Bj's we waddled out to our school parking lot to snap a pick of our super cute outfits.

Valentines day 2011

(let me answer a few questions you might have)
who? Miss Lauren J.
when? we normally make our reservations at 4:45ish, 5 o’clock but today we were fashionably late .. i mean look how cute our outfits were!
where? the Art Institute room A201. it was hard to get in because the security is kinda tight but we just let them know who we were and they gladly sat us.
why? because her bf lives in utah and i havent had a bf since 2008. yea im real cool. oh and because we spent last valentines day together so now its kinda a tradition!

who was your love day date? did you look super cute? what did you do? tell me tell me tell me!

What I Wore ..

yep your eyes are not deceiving you. i am wearing fishnets. AND I ROCKED THEM! of course everyone had something to say about them but i think i pulled them off! and thats all that mattered. i think the reason why i felt ok about this concoction was the fact that i paired something perceived as slutty and wore something as non-slutty as i could with over sized clothing. tell me if you dig it or not. let me know im not the only one who thought this was kinda cool haha

glasses: oakley
necklace: H&M
shirt: disneyland
shorts: kirra?
ring: urban outfittiners
fishnets: PARTY CITY WOO!
boots: steve madden

footnote: check in next week to see what i wore on valentines with my hot date.

since it is valentines day i thought i would grow some girly emotions and post cute things. i am normally not the mushy gushy girl who is always in love with someone but i will tell you i am absolutely in love with these images by Max Wanger

WANT MORE?

have you ever thought reading my blog .. "man i wish she posted more" WELL I DO! i originally started on tumblr but it always sucked because unless you are a tumblr member you cant comment and of course i love hearing from you cutie pies. so if you want to see more (only because its a lot easier to post and repost on tumblr than it is here on blogspot) all you have to do is CLICK HERE!

his post are always classics.

Music that makes me wanna shake my booty ..

i could use a rainbow in my life right about now.

If Lauren Ashley was my own personal life size barbie …

this was fun. challenging but fun. of course i thought her original outfit was adorable, or else i wouldn’t post it but if i could play dress up with her this is what i would put her in. miss ashley is a black wear-er. 6 out of the 7 days she looks like she is in mourning (which doesnt match her personality in the least bit) so what i would of put her in is colorful/earthy tones. she is pretty short so she can get away with super short dresses where as if i were to wear it i would look like im missing pants. this girl is also an accessory-aholic. she loves loading up with bracelets and rings so i tried to fit as many as i could on this little sucker. although it might be a bit different to see her rocking her inner chic hippy with this down to earth look, she is the girl who can pull anything off because she has confidence. which is the most important garment in a wardrobe.

i dig this girl's style. makes me wanna pick up the camera more often.

if only i had the time.

Color Combination is what Counts ..

this was over colorado. the colors remind me of broccoli and cheese. man im a fatty.

Too Cute Tuesday! luckily this weeks too cute tuesdays just so happened to land on the same day as “make valentine cookies at school” day! how perfect. Lauren A. (in the striped sweater) and Lauren J. (in the red dress) are both sweet fanatics so of course we had to participate! Lauren A.’s cookie is the one with almost every topping possible and Lauren J.’s cookie is the color cordinated one to the right. mine is the center one because unlike the laurens, im not big on sweets but to be honest it hit the spot.

so i have decided to start each month with a guest blogger for the “what i wore” post. i was going to do it at the end of the month but seeing how i started in a week late this year and im ocd, ill stick the guest blogger at the front of the month. makes more sense. well at least to me.

What Lauren wore ..

Hi, my name is Lauren and i run this little blog right here and this is what i wore. I normally wear all black. It is very flattering and that way I can accessorize the crap out of my outfit. Although this week for Too Cute Tuesday I allowed for a bit of spice (color) in my life. I chose to pair my pastel pink hot shorts with an off the shoulder striped sweater. And of course keeping with my accessory junkie ways I added bangles, lots of rings, a sweet skull necklace, my handy dandy timepiece and topping it off with lil’ pink studs. Adding a fun mix to it were my spectacular floral print heels. While shooting this we had a lil’ too much fun, which explains my awesomely awkward pose. But that’s me in a nutshell.

Shorts: Forever21
Sweater: Fringe
Shoes: Forever 21
Big black ring: Forever21
Upper arm bracelet & feather ring : Lucky
Bangles: Bloomingdale’s, NY, Israel.
Timepiece: Style & Co.
Necklace: Betsy Johnson

this is cassy. i miss the crap out of her. quit living in seattle.

so this is what i did thursday night. my good good friend lauren had to make a product placement video for a fake product. this is the video she directed and i art directed.

so as a lot of you might know i was raised texas. and also as a lot of you might know texas is getting a heavy amount (for texas) of snow. so of course every one and their mothers n my facebook have been posting pictures of them selves in the snow. my friend trent brought up a good point here and i couldn’t help but share.

i didnt want to be this when i grew up and even now, going to school for it, im scared shitless and i wonder what am i thinking? but thats what being a creative is all about.

“The frightening and most difficult thing about being what somebody calls a creative person is that you have absolutely no idea where any of your thoughts come from really, and especially, you don’t have any idea about where they’re going to come from tomorrow.” - art & copy

bored. messing with old pictures i find while searching for lost school projects. i really should be doing home work.

Music that Mesmerizes Me ..

i dig this song. also the video technique is pretty interesting. i dont very much (like at all) about video but i would be interested to see how they created this video and how they edited it.
