It's not much but it's a nice place to put my passion on display.
:)

SUCCESS!

I recently handed in a resume at one of my favorite thrifting spots,
in one of my favorite areas of town.
I wrote out an affirmation and told everyone to think good thoughts for me....

and I got the job!!
I start tomorrow. I get my own little locker and there's a very relaxed dressed code.
No uniform! No fuss! And I get to do what I love the most!
My job involves picking donations to come into the store, organize, and ring up customers.
I'm very ecstatic. It's time to save up money for my own place to share with my girlfriend and get my life going!

9 to 5 life here I come!
:)

Fashion Thought

DISGRUNTLED FASHION.

It's everywhere nowadays.
Ripped tights and shirts. Torn jeans. Dark,smeared make-up. Studs mixed with delicate pieces. Teased hair and purposely "trashy" fashion.
Does this trend derive from the need to stand out in this generation?
It's leaking into high fashion.
It's popular among celebrities, designers and everyday citizens.
Personally, I must admit I am an offender of this trend.
There's just something endearing about a mixture of a well put together outfit with a ripped item or two.

I think it's safe to say this trend isn't going away for a while.

Approve or Despise?

A tribute to Floral Print

Lately, during some thrifting adventures..I've noticed something.

I have quite the obsession with vintage floral prints.
I can't help it! I really can't.

Floral print dresses!




Floral print leggings!


Floral print shirts!



Floral print skirts!


Floral print romper!


I may need a new obsession soon.

Top 4 Inspirations and Obsessions

Top 4 inspirations/obsessions of the week:

1:music 2:fashion 3:tv/movie 4:random

1.In all honesty, I cant get enough of my friend paulie's "ghetto mix" it includes some classics like "get low" and "my neck, my back" by khia.so good for driving.haha.in addition I recommend listening to kerli, kayti got me hooked on her.really eclectic variety of genre's all from one twisted, dark lady gaga look alike.so good.



2.I'm looking into some really comfortable[& of course fashionable]items for summer.my goal this summer is to be totally comfortable and put together all at once.I need more printed dresses, skirts and some great sandals.



3.Without a doubt. CRIMINAL MINDS.Iv'e been watching it daily.im obsessed with the story lines and characters[in particular reid.i totally wish he was one of my friends.] sorry law & order, I've got a new favorite.


4.Well this week Kayti and I have been getting pretty into biking.It feels really great, and it forces me to drink more water! double success.

just a thought

the bipolar weather in this sunny town is making me yearn for rain and wind and snow.

summer will be warm and here ill be in "sunny san diego" wishing for the cold.

one day, one day.

ive been thinking a lot about the future and some plans i have.
i have so many things in store for me.i can feel it.
i want to start a business.i want to do something surprising, new and successful.
i want to travel and save money and meet people and have a cute little apartment in a city that matches my ideals.

i want my room to look like this

and my mind to look like this

i think i may be antsy again..i have that slight need for change and that desire to make something new happen. im not quite sure whether its a good thing or bad thing.
accepting what i have VS expanding and learning
i suppose a balance of both would be the ideal
:)

the truth of the matter is

whether you like it or not, human interaction is the antidote.

the thing that cures the fake, the hole, the lost, the memory, the urge, the need, the ache, the wonder, the misconception.

simple look and slight smile....
laughing and thinking with common purpose.
thats it, thats the antidote.
whether you realize it or not.
when it fits youll know what i mean.

i love you kaytlyn kozar.3 months and 22 days doesn't quite seem right.i feel like ive known you my whole life.i feel like time doesn't justify the entirety of our connection.

"before i met you,
i used to dream you up and make you up in my mind
and all i ever wanted
was to be understood.
you’ve been the only one who could.
i could never turn my back on you."

subtleties and dreams

I'm looking forward to a relaxing day :)

I'm going to therapy in just a bit. Following that some down time at a coffee shop. After that were going to pick up some ceramics that we painted last week.Finally a facial at "haute" with kayti and my moma. I think the rest of the day will be spent organizing my new room, catching up on some homework and maybe more time at a coffee shop.

[taken on my way to temecula]
I had one of those vivid, almost frightening dreams last night. I cant even begin to explain it, but it made me want to start a dream journal. I used to write down every little dream when I was younger and it made for some of the best stories ever. My mom analyzed my dream and thinks that I need to make decisions and have more power over myself.

inspiration of the day!

Ive been seeing these boots everywhere.Why don't I have them? I honestly feel like my wardrobe would be complete{for the moment} if I had these! They would be the perfect addition to an outfit with a nice combination of floral print and a high waisted skirt.
Why isn't Christmas in April?

Je t'aime San Francisco

I've decided to follow through with this blog! I plan to post more often and share my thoughts on everything from art to experiences.
A few months ago I went to San Francisco and I got so inspired by the architecture, people, fashion and communities there.
I just recently acquired the pictures I took from the trip.

Hello World,

This blog is going to be a collection of my inspirations, my personal photos and art work[not very often], my thoughts and whatever else comes up. I really hope to pursue photography.It's truly the only thing that has been a constant outlet for expression and self gratification.Following the history of fashion and current fashions is just for fun, but it definitely holds a sense of comfort and interest for me.I'm not quite sure where I'm going, but I'd love to travel as much as possible.I want to soak up every ounce of different cultures,experiences,influences and personalities as i can.

I'm Blake, and I am excited for life :)
