May 26, 2012

First of all, my birthday was a few days ago and I finally got a DSLR!!! I'm super excited about it and I've been going around taking pictures of random things. Here are a few pictures that I really like...

I like how this looks dreamy.

So yesterday (May 26th) I woke up way earlier than usual, as in 7:30 on a weekend. It's unusual because I usually wake up around 11-1 on weekends :P. Since I had time and I wasn't sure what to do I decided to try out Galaxy nails. It didn't turn out so great; I went a bit overboard with the sparkles haha
I've been craving for Firehouse all week so I finally got to go for lunch. I was super happy when I was there. Whenever I eat something that tastes really good I just kind of jump around in my seat and smile.... sounds really weird... lol .. but I guess I'm just weird like that :)

After that, I met up with some of my friends at Starbucks to study for our English Oral, which is in a couple days. I've never been to that particular Starbucks and it was really nice there.

For dinner we all went to Pho (because for some reason we're all obsessed). I've never been to that particular Pho restaurant and I was surprised because it tasted better than the one I usually go to. The pho was a lot fresher and less oily? I'm not sure how to describe it. I don't think I'll be going there often though cause it is pretty far from my house.
My friend has been telling me about this cool boba place since last year and I finally got to go (it was right next to the pho restaurant). They had colorful walls with artworks on it. They also had a spot for bands to play on open mic night. It was definitely a unique place and we don't really see stores like this around here. This city barely has anything "cool" or "creative".

Lastly, here's my outfit of the day.. it's nothing special.

 

sunglasses: free people

shirt: diy

white skinnies: pacsun

sandals: roxy

aloha summer

It's basically been summer for a while here in Florida.

I recently thrifted this top and I'm lovin it! It just screams SUMMER!! and look closely at the buttons.. they look like wood or cork!!! It's just perfect. :' ) .Makes me want to go to the beach and just relax .. too bad I have a crap load of homework and AP exams are in like a few days...not to mention my English Oral ... and of course I have to take exams before school ends. :( ugh. school sucks.

I have a feeling I'll be wearing this often...

top: thrifted

shorts: h&m

bag: target

platforms: urban outfitters

March 23rd the Friday & Impressionism

 This is what we do in Studs...

listen to music....

 ...frown at how boring it is...

...act like we enjoy this class...

... but get pissed because even if we act like it's fun.... it's not. lol

Here's my "photoshoot".

Blouse: Zara

"Monet" Waterfall Skirt: Zara

Shoes: Roxy

Just a little fact about my interest in art.. My favorite painter is Monet because his paintings convey a certain romantic beauty that I truly admire. I think this skirt has that feeling to it; not only does the print itself look "impressionistic", but also, it captures the true essence of impressionism. 

I may not be an expert on paintings and art and certainly not a Monet expert, but this is just my interpretation and genuine feeling towards it. 

Perhaps my love for impressionism made me fall in love with this skirt when I saw it on Zara.com. So I just had to get it, regardless of its price. 

Oh and I was able to see some of Monet's paintings when I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art last week when I was in New York. It was amazing to see his paintings in real life! It gave me strange emotions and sort of inspired me. That feeling when you look at a piece of art or listen to a great song... hard to describe. Maybe I'm just weird. 

Haha anyways... Soon (idk when) I'll upload pictures from my NY trip.
