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.

The Mexican Shop - Evanston, IL
801 Dempster St

Great little store... the owners close down for 3-4 months out of the year to go down to Mexico for already made or supplies to handmake most of their jewelry. They also sell vintage sunglasses and other kitschy accessories.
