I’m All Out of Faith

Wow two posts in one day (technically it feels like another day for me because of the way I sleep) must be some kind of miracle. I guess it’s because I’m stuck in this hotel room doing pretty much nothing but painting my nails, reading mags, and preparing for this weekend. These were hastily taken and hastily edited so don’t judge. This was my airport outfit and I guess it was a hit with the public. I was just going for comfortable but cute. My plan to wear my favorite hat isn’t going so well. I like to wear hats on the plane and my hair needs to be relaxed but I don’t know where to go in the city I live in yet. Haven’t had time to figure that out because I haven’t been there.

I’m wearing the Jeffrey Campbell LF exclusive Poland’s I found on eBay. I have to leave feedback still, I don’t understand people that don’t take care of their shoes. Is it really that difficult to use some leather care on your leather? I don’t know description says worn once, price sticker still on it. To me they look like they’ve been worn more than once. You can’t tell in these photos which is basically how the seller photographed them (minus being on a person). I guess it’s because I used to work at Aldo and had to sell people stuff to take care of their shoes that I’ve become ms wtf is wrong with you clean/take your GD shoes or maybe it’s because most of my shoes cost over $100 and I don’t like wasting money. It’s not that I wouldn’t have bought them anyway because the damage isn’t that bad that I can’t fix it but I wish she’d been upfront.

Looks like I’m visiting Orlando for a weekend in September. I don’t know why I’m only staying a weekend…when since I work for myself I could stay as long as I wanted. It just seems that that’s what people do…they go for weekends. I have a fun styling job downtown on the 19th with a photographer I’ve been talking to for months now so it’s cool we’re pseudo finally in the same place at the same time to work things out.

On a jet plane

Wish I could say “don’t know when I’ll be back again” but I do and this like so many trips recently is a completely unwanted. Restless on the plane in a window seat (yeah…) and playing with the camera. This is the least offensive picture. I’m now in Atlanta, GA until next Tuesday. I’ll be working with Froggy’s Photos at the largest sci-fi/media convention on the east coast (DragonCon).

I figured there would be tears shed at some point this weekend but I didn’t think they’d be so soon.

Ya cool peace out

Recently…

Things have been hectic around here. It’s not really an excuse for not blogging but it kind of is. See I moved from Orlando, FL to Hollywood, FL on the 16th. A 3 hour drive that took all day to pack for and by the end of the night when we were finally leaving…well let’s just say a hummer had to come to the rescue. So I got into the new place at some ungodly hour in the morning and partially unloaded the car and started unpacking. See Tuesday would be my only full day to do anything as Wednesday I had to catch a flight to Chicago in the morning. Without going into it, Chicago was mostly awful with fun sprinkled in here and there since I got to see my friend who lives there. I couldn’t wait to come back to Florida.

While I was there I was really uncomfortable because I barely packed clothing for myself, I mostly had clothes for styling shoots. No bueno. I brought one pair of heels and three flats. I know it’s like I was body snatched. On Tuesday the day before I had to fly out, Kelly took me downtown so I could hunt down these platform heels:

Actually initially I wanted the polka dotted pair and I’d figured oh if I like the daisy print I’ll just get both. Well I ended up not liking the polka dot version of these at all. They looked dirty in comparison to the stark white on this pair. I’m so glad that I didn’t just buy my first choice online and held off because I wanted to see the quality (it is Forever 21 after all). Gonna stop by Aldo Shoes and get an insole/get them to tighten the strap for me though. I don’t know how to say they run since I’m an 8.5 and I’m wearing an 8 with obviously a little space. My feet don’t slip out when I walk though.

While window shopping online for the shoes I saw this necklace…I hesitated on the shoes and went down to my hotel lobby for a bit, came back to the room decided to just checkout and the creme colored was sold out. I was ticked so I ordered nothing. I didn’t see the black online initially. After seeing them both in person I couldn’t decided and bought them both. I wore the black for the first time today and broke it. It’s fixable though but I was like DAMN, I’ve been wearing this for barely an hour now.

On the 3rd will I buy these shoes without seeing them first visit to forever21.com I saw these:

I’ve been looking for a pair of leather or faux leather (I don’t care as long as it looks good) pair of shorts for awhile. It’s harder than you think. I have a pair but they’re regular rise and too short for all the time usage. These are high waisted and just long enough to wear in front of someone’s mother haha.

I know from reading this it looks like I went on some crazy Forever 21 binge but I didn’t I swear. I also visited Aritzia which we don’t have in Florida (I keep trying to write Orlando) and I got two pieces. They don’t have a e-commerce website so no pics sorry. I don’t wanna take them myself. I was gifted ever issues of the Scott Pilgrim comic. Woo. Also came home to:

It could be so perfect…

The shot in which I realize…hmmm I need to go home and cut my bangs. These are random photos taken of me at a photoshoot I went to this week. Woke up way to early in the morning for this shoot, grabbed the first thing I saw in my closet on the floor then grabbed my mini makeup bag and bounced.Everything I’m wearing is super old too. Aside from the bag.

I did my makeup while Troy was shooting 1st looks, all I had though was mascara and different colored eyeliners…I guess I could have asked the makeup artist for eyeshadow but I’m shy and I don’t know her at all and she seemed shy too so I made do with what I had.

While the model was changing Troy and I were bored so he randomly started taking pictures and then it was like oh snap that’s coming out really good…hey I can use these for a blog post. I hadn’t realized that I’d managed to look decent today. I originally had a hair thingie going across my bangs but took it off when I started doing my makeup and forgot to put it back on after.You can still sorta see the indent in my hair where it was. Sigh.

Looking at these pictures I realize that this outfit kind of makes me look chunky. I don’t know what it is…maybe the angles…maybe my stance but I swear I’m not chunky.

2 years too long

My bestie came to visit me in Orlando this week. I haven’t seen her in 2 years. We originally met on Myspace back in the day and then met up in LA and spent a week there, then met up in NY, then I went to visit her in Maryland all in one summer. That was an awesome summer, friends and japanese rock bands. We’ve managed to stay best friends without even seeing each other. We used to myspace all the time and then text and all that but now we facebook and twitter. Twitter is where it’s at for us, we tweet each other like it’s a messaging service like aim. I enjoy talking to her every single day though and we can keep updated on basically every moment of each others lives in 140 characters. Phone unnecessary since we both hate talking on the phone unless it’s a cry/rage fest.

Dinner at Outback with my other fave person. My photographer/post titler Troy Huynh.

Can’t really see our outfits but know that we look fierce. Lace uppers are Forever 21. My inner bralette is Silence & Noise, Filthy Magic Swallow Detail Shorts, Jeffrey Campbell Potions
