My Morning Jacket - Off the Record

HAPPY MERCEDES BENZ FASHION WEEK BOYS AND GIRLS.

What a wonderful time of year. So if I lived the life I would have chosen for myself, I'd be showing my shit with the Academy of Art University buuuuuut I'm not, and that's cool. This is the first time I'm not pumping my fist up the sky screaming "why?!" (not that I actually do). Instead I'm just looking forward to when I can join in on the fashion fun. Obviously, I'm very jealous of everyone and anyone who is going into the city today and yadda yadda yadda, but I know there will be a time and I'll just have to be patient.

But in light of this fabulous week, I decided I'd actually try to look nice everyday (just for this week of course). So here's my outfit from today.

SKIRT: Walgreens, $2; SHIRT: Forever 21, $2.50; SCARF: AEO, $6.99

Unknown - Track 7

Just a few observations from the past couple days...

- A girl in my Human Sexual Behavior class had two seizures. It was one of the scariest things I've ever seen and just another example of how my muscles just stop when something like that occurs. It's like every sense is magnified but I can't move or think. Anyway, I won't go into detail about the whole scene because it's not necessary but it was another moment where you just go Wow, it could happen at any moment. I wonder what the procedures are when something like that happens on an Express Subway.
- I saw SIX girls wearing the same shirt today. I think it's from American Eagle Outfitters. Ridiculous.
- There are too many girls on campus walking to class in high heels and umbrellas. It's over 100 degrees every day. A black umbrella will not save you. You have blisters all over your feet! For what?

Sage Francis - Cafe Girl

That polaroid up there is from 1979. So this guy Hugh Crawford took a polaroid EVERY DAY until he died, which was in 1997. I'm pretty sure he first started in '79 but don't quote me on that. He's pretty fantastic.

The "23" was a 'Shut the fuck up' moment.

This was taken on August 1, 1990.

This was taken November 9, 1989.

I watched The Secret Life of Bees this afternoon which was pretty awesome since I've been wanting to see it all because of Hilarie Burton. Any words I could say to describe it wouldn't be enough. I think I cried 70% of the movie.

The Decemberists - The Wanting Comes In Waves

So it has become very apparent that these knee-high socks are all the rave. I bought a heavy pair that were grey with a blue and green stripe at the top two winters ago but never had much courage to wear them. Last summer I bought another pair that wasn't as heavy and grey with a nice cut-out pattern, and still have not brought myself to wear them. I guess I just needed to be reassured that I wouldn't look too much of a Catholic schoolgirl when wearing them. I can't wait to clean the dust off of them and let them see some daylight!



P.S. Wish I was in NYC for this fabulous night.

Photo club is trying to decide who should come either give a lecture or portfolio review or whatever and we're making suggestions next time we meet so I was thinking the photodiarist but Joel Meyerowitz is already coming and I don't know if the club has as much NYC pride as I do. Whatever, I'm sure anyone will be awesome.

M.Ward ft. Zooey Dechanel - Rave On

So my life has been pretty fucking fantastic. I have a great job, interesting classes, a beautiful apartment and the best roommates I could have asked for. I'm joining the Photography Club, Psi Chi (Honors Society for Psychology), and the Arizona Outing Club this year. And what makes it all even better is the fact that I can afford it. Also, this weekend was one of the best that I've had since entering college. I also have a pretty sweet boyfriend who is so damn talented that everytime someone mentions art of any kind, I can't help but mention something Joe has done that relates. I'm in love with everything.


For two nights in a row, Kristin was a BLOOD.
