disposable and instant

taken with a disposable camera and fuji instax 7S.

kyle and I had our 2 year anniversary last monday, and then later in the week we made a quick trip to kansas city for a few days. We saw wonderful friends and family, acquired lovely vintage hats, a guitar for kyle, and walked outside with no coats or bundles of layers.

à joue contre joue

the blue coat is meant to be this lovely one, by vivetta. I want those little kitty pockets so badly.

it's terribly cold in minneapolis, all i can do is stay inside and dream of the day when kyle says
"honey, we're moving to california!"
but not a gross part of calfornia. a nice part. by the beach and sea lions.

I added a formspring box over there > on my side bar. ask me anything!
it's anonymous.

castles and curls

happy new year !
(just a wee bit late).

What I'd like to do in 2010:

Organize and keep track of my inspirations
Learn how to knit
Perfect my french
Get accepted to a study abroad program
Wake up earlier
Mail more letters
Start selling items in my etsy shop
Read the bible everyday
Do something really different to my hair (any suggestions?)
Be more adventurous
Read more
Eat as much local & organic food as possible (after seeing Food Inc., it makes me so weary of regular food)
Take ballet classes
Learn an instrument
Take a photo every day
Make girl friends

ooo it's a vid post!

As promised, here's what I've recieved for Christmas, or purchased shortly after!



Chanel biography
Lolita- I'm on page 25 and love it so far.
The Aesop For Children with illustrations
Beret with bow from UO
Heart tights from UO
KORRES lip butter in Pomegranate- best lip product I've ever had! I never wear color on my lips but this is really light and feels so nice.
Dumpling Dynasty Beauty Kit (then I show a mirror from inside the kit)
Powder blue 20ish hat from UO
Rodarte for Target dress!

I think the thing I was most excited to get was the Rodarte dress, since I had anticipated it for so long. The top mesh part is kind of itchy to me, and when you move around the fabric wrinkles and makes your skin look all old and creepy. I love the rest of it though! What was your favorite gift?

here's a teeeny snippet of a video we're making, featuring some really adorable clothes from 1918 vintage.





Tomorrow is my 21st birthday. Kyle says he has a surprise to reveal to me tonight so I'm very, very excited.
I'm not sure what we're going to do..maybe ride the new train! I supposed it depends on what the surprise is. hmmmm...

Stay tuned because kyle & I are making one of these very very soon (:

I hope everyone had the most wonderful christmas! Kyle and I had a lot of fun opening gifts under our little tree. I'll post what he got me later.




Winter break is the best break of all time.

narration

(my final color photo project-- viewing the large size is much better)

so many more posts soon! Kyle and I are back from his parents house, so I have free time galore. So much to show you!
What are you hoping to get for christmas? I'm getting so excited.

oh hello!

wowowowow it's been ages since my last post! I apologize but this past week was my last for the school semester, so I've been crazy busy with final projects. Today is one of the best days of the year, being the beginning of winter break.
I have so many new projects, I don't know where to begin posting! I'm so tired though and have to get up early, so I'll just show you one of my newest projects for now:







This is a dress I made for my Lithography final, made from crepe paper with lithography print. It's wearable!, but pretty difficult to move around in without it tearing.

Sweet Roxanne tagged me for this. Sorry it's taken me a bagillion years to do!

1.Where is your phone? in my school bag

I can tell you something funny Kyle did though-- I woke up to hearing him say "I can't reach it", as he lifted his hand in the air. He then started rubbing the side table lamp, and said "must use the force", and then grabbed my head! hahahha

Kyle and I are going to Spearfish, SD tomorrow for a week to visit his parents. It has beautiful mountains and we pass a giant jackalope! I'll post lots of pictures and more of my final projects when we get back! I'm also thinking of doing something crazy like dying my hair blonde on something.
Are you venturing anywhere for winter break?
