timing

why are we so obsessed with timing? or actually... why am i so obsessed with timing? there's never a good or right time for everything! you know what i mean though right? there's never a good time to break up... when's the right time to talk to someone new... there's never a good time to quit a job you're unhappy doing. there's never a good time to break bad news to your friends.

well you know what? fuck waiting for the right time. i'm just gonna accept that there's never a "right" time for the things i mentioned (or much of anything else really). i'll just accept that these things are inevitable in life. i'm just gonna play the fuck it game (skins season 2, educate yourselves). whenever something feels right, i'm not gonna consider the timing. i'm just gonna say fuck it and go for it.

i mean for someone who is constantly a victim of bad timing, i sure do care a lot. and why? timing's never worked in my favor. so fuck it.

i had this hat made a looooong time ago at woodfield cuz i fell in love with a logo that i rushed to create for an art class.

i reached back like a pimp and i slapped the ho.

i miss my friends.

half-off monday!

every monday, all purchases at my favorite thrift store chain are 50% off! so last monday, i went on a waaaaay overdue shopping trip. 2 hours and $27+ later, i came home with some good stuff:



this is a coach shoulder bag. it's small and is perfect for spring/summer when i don't really like to carry around too much stuff. also cute for just going to a bar. i got it for $6... the metal thingy in the front is missing but i still think it's cute.



i've been looking for a good-sized black bag. i don't even know how to define what good-sized is to me but anyway... this is one of those balenciaga knockoffs, whatever. it has lots of pockets and a shoulder strap and it stand up well on it's own. my big bags are all hobo-style and brown so i needed this one. $5! (i was watching fresh prince on my computer while i was taking pics lol)



i got three gold chains and a really pretty yellow necklace. $6 alltogether


here's the detail for that last necklace.



i fell in love with these wedges cuz of the zigzag-like pattern and i needed these cuz like my bags, all my spring/summer shoes are brown lol. $3!


needed a pair of black flats. i don't know why it's so fucking hard to find plain balck ballet flats that are comfy. these aren't really ballet flats but they have that loafer look which is think is cute... $2!


these are pretty for when i go out but don't feel like wearing heels (which is always). they look practically brand new and were only $3.50

so there ya have it. overall i'm pretty happy with what i got. i can't wait to go next week to look for a pretty vintage tray for my room. by the way, i moved out of my apartment and in with my friend two months ago. i'll take pics soon.


'til next time. keep your head above water

lookin' at my roley, it's about that time.

oldie but a goodie. i'm in the process of taking pics of my recent purchases from "half off monday". what's a half-off monday, you say? you'll see. til' then, enjoy the video *puff daddy shuffle*

p.s. awkard crotch shot at 2:22.

on that girly shit

it's about that time... every year i go through it. no, not the phase where i want to sit at the computer and design 24/7 (although i really do need to do that). not that thing where i wanna buy all the kicks in the city. sans employment, it's safe to say that i'm out of the shoe game for awhile if not permanently. people are ruining the game for me, lol. i'm talking about that time of the year when the grass is green again. flowers are poppin' up. the breeze is cool on my face and not butt freezing cold. the city is pretty and it makes me want to be pretty too. it makes me want to wear pretty clothes and create pretty things.

what the fuck are you talking about, marie?

all winter i've been scrubbed out... wearing sweats, hardly any makeup, hair all in a messytail. every spring i change up my style. experiment with new wardrobe, have more fun with my hair and makeup, and i love to do a bunch of DIY projects. I've been watching a lot DIY on youtube and falling in love with new fashion/makeup blogs so, i'm pretty inspired.

watch out, readers (assuming there's more than one) cuz you'll be seeing a few fashion/makeup/craft project posts. and watchout roomiehomeyfriend cuz i will be fighting with you for bathroom time. it's the only room in the house with ample lighting and a mirror. Unless of course you hang my full length for me *hint hint*

'til next time... may the new spring air mend broken hearts, turn frowns upside down, and breathe new life into your our creativity.

peace, bitches.

p.s. This song always enhances my springtime experience. heh.
