More purple hair picturesssss. These are old (obvi) but I am actually planning on re-doing most of my hair this color this week. Sho exshitedddd. As for today, once I finish up a couple of SOS orders I will be dedicating the rest of my time to finding my inner balance. I've felt really out of sorts lately and sometimes it's important to take a step back and re-find yourself and reconnect in a way. It seems most people I talk to nowadays suffer from a general feeling of disconnection. The world around us is so hyper-stimulating, so fast paced and ever changing that it's hard to come to grips with living in the moment and not getting caught up in the chaos and superficial distractions.
My remedy to all of this? Meditation, music, reading and writing.
Also, new Fiona Apple GOLD. gahd I love her too much for words.
(SOS Vintage: 90's striped athletic crop, open/tie back printed tank, black crochet top, cherub print button up/sold/, embellished pink mini dress, multi color printed button up, 'sunset' tee, leopard skirt, 1970's bell sleeved dress)
I have been working hard to actuallllyyy get some new vintage merchandise posted to the SOS facebook page so I can clear out some stuff and make room for new stock and prepare for the website launch! All of these pretty little things are available for sale now! You can see more photos HERE, and if anything catches your eye simply message me on facebook or leave a comment here with the item you want and your email address. Your continued support means everything!
Oh, and this is the first set of recent photos I have posted in fo evvvvaaa. It feels kinda nice! So now you have a better idea of what my hair is lookin like these days. It's constantly changing though, so don't get too used to it!
It seems like I have so much to do (or so much that I plan on doing) lately, and then a day passes and then the next thing you know a week has flown by. Where does all the time go? I am learning to (TRY to) embrace the fact that we cannot control everything, and sometimes it feels like you're at a stand still or that things aren't going quite how you want them to. But when you really stop, take a look around you and take the time to think about the bigger picture everything kind of makes sense. Everything will eventually fall in to place if you stay positive and keep striving towards your goals. When you are passionate about something and you surround yourself with positive uplifting people, you really can't go wrong! I have been meeting so many amazing, kind, inspiring people lately. It's such a breath of fresh air.
I guess another reason I have been deep in contemplation about life and such has a lot to do with the fact that I have been away from home constantly. I have been up in LA (or off on random adventures/trips) for the majority of the past weeks. I know I have stated it a number of times, but I am quite an introverted person a lot of the time. I mean don't get me wrong, I am a fuggin weirdo of mass proportions and when you get to know me and break through my wall you can't get me to shut up. But most peoples' initial reactions when first meeting me is that I am shy or boring or even 'cold'. That last one is the label I hate the most. I am such a sensitive emotional person, I care deeply for people (even people I barely know or haven't met) and am easily affected by the things people say and do around me. I don't know whether it's a defense mechanism I have picked up over the years from relentless taunting when I was younger or if it's just the way I have always been. I like to take people in, observe their habits and mannerisms and try and pick up on who they are. I AM THE ULTIMATE PEOPLE WATCHER GUYS. But to get back to the point, being away from home and out of my little bubble of comfort (I was born and raised in the same small beach town and I tend to keep to myself) has really got me thinking about what I want to do and where I want to go with my future. My boyfriend lives in LA as well as many of my friends and babely blogger buddies AND there are soooo many more opportunities to pursue what I am drawn towards. So basically this all boils down to me coming to the conclusion that I am ready to fly the nest, find my own place, and start the next stage of my life somewhere that will best allow me to harness all of my creative energies. There is still lots to be done before then, but I am really excited for what the future holds. I have already grown so much since first starting this blog, it's really fun to look back and see the progression of everything.
I'll leave you with a song I've been listening to on repeat all morning. Gahd I love Jack White.
WHY have I never seen this until now (being a self proclaimed Fiona fan-atic and all-lolzz) and WHYYY doesn't everyone know about it and WHYY the fuuuuh isn't Fiona Apple more respected as an artist. This girl is some kind of genius, I'm telling you. Every single lyric is so poignant and holds such emotion. Watch awayy, and become a fellow obsessor.
The early cars
Already are Drawing deep breaths past my door And last night's phrases Sick with lack of basis Are still writhing on my floor And it doesn't seem fair That your wicked words should work In holding me down No, it doesn't seem right To take information Given at close range For the gag And the bind And the ammunition round Conversation once colored by esteem Became dialogue as a diagram of a play for blood Took a vacation, my palate got clean Now I could taste your agenda While you're spitting your cud And it doesn't make sense I should fall for the kingcraft of a meritless crown No, it doesn't seem right To take information Given at close range For the gag And the bind And the ammunition round This is not about love 'Cause I am not in love In fact I can't stop falling out This is not about love 'Cause I am not in love In fact I can't stop falling out I miss that stupid ache
What is this posture I have to stare at That's what he said when I'm sittin' up straight Change the name of the game 'cause he lost And he knew he was wrong but he knew it too late But I'm not being fair 'Cause I chose to listen to that filthy mouth
But I'd like to choose right Take all the things that I've said that he stole Put 'em in a sack Swing 'em over my shoulder Turn on my heels Step out of this sight
Try to live in a lovelier light This is not about love 'Cause I am not in love In fact I cant stop falling out This is not about love 'Cause I am not in love In fact i cant stop falling out I miss that stupid ache

p.s.
I know I slacked agaaaaiiin this week, many many apologiez, but I PROMISE, I'll make up for it this weekend !
Today is a day for finding beauty in everything around us, being thankful for things we too often take for granted, and showing love to all those who love us unconditionally. Hope everyone has a beautiful day full of family, friends, and (duh) foooood!
I love this song so much, been listening to it non-stop. And how gorgeous is Lana Del Rey?!
She reminds me of a modernized 60's beauty icon with a bit of an edge; like a mix between Twiggy, Julia Roberts, and Silver's character from the current 90210. Oh, the ridiculous descriptions I come up with...
If you enjoyed this song, I definitely recommend looking up more of her music!
aaaand she does it again.
Being that I'm an Irish gahl meself, I was supaa excited that the video was filmed in Ireland.
The fact that the styling is heavily influenced by Irish street style was just the icing on the cake.
I love ya Ri Ri, even if you did get kicked off an Irish man's land for being dressed too provocatively.
I'll drink to thaaaat, yayeeyayuhh.
Thanks to Lucia of Who The Fuck is Mick Jagger(amazing blog by the waaay!) I have found my new obsession; The Pierces. These two ladies have such amazing voices and style! I mean seriously, this music video is so beautiful. Their music reminds me a bit of Stevie Nicks, and anything even slightly reminiscent of my favorite bohemian gypsy layday and I'm won over. Also check out their song 'Glorious'-the video is a hippie lovin 60's obsessor's (I think I just coined a new term heh heh) dream come trueeee.
How can you really feel?
Two of another, none of a pair Nobody move, nobody move Days with the light off, freezing You and I, uneasy, livid Stop, it's too late I'm feeling frustrated I see no sign of fortress I see no sign of fortress Another delay, too many hassles Where do we go, how do we follow?

p.s. Did my first photo shoot with the new camera today!
So excited to share millionz and trillionz of photos with you all <3
(wearing: vintage kimono jacket with detachable backless crop top, random jeans,
thrifted booties, DIY necklace, H&M hat, F21 fringe satchel)
Posting these photos is LONNNG overdue. They were taken (weeks a go) before/during a Panic! at The Disco concert we (my mom, my sister Danaan, and I) took my youngest sister Fiona to for a belated Birthday gift. We had such a great time jumping around like fools and singing at the top of our lungs. Oh, and an added source of excitement and surprise was realizing during the first song played by one of the opening acts, Fun., that the lead singer just so happened to be former front man of my highschool obsession: The Format. I felt like an excited kidlet on Christmas morning. Notttt so great: getting elbowed/shoved/trampled by the insane crowd of pre-teen super fans. I actually think my mom got the worst of it; poor woman.
Hope everyone is having an amazing pre Fourth of July weekend; I've been busy the past two days with starting a new job as a nanny/mother's helper for a family friend and her two girls. They are so sweet and fun, and the fact that my work entails hanging out in the sun and swimming at the beach with them isn't too shabby either. After waring myself out running around with the girls in the heat all day (you tend to forget how much energy you have as a child!) and then stuffing my face with delicious Japanese food from Ichibiris for my sister's Grad dinner; I'm on the verge of simultaneously exploding and passing out on my keyboard. More posts to share tomorrow!

Saturday afternoon outfit. Sometimes one just feels the need to pillllee on the accessories (okay, maybe I have a bit of a problem?.....nah).Wearing an enormous DIY arrowhead ring I made a month or so ago, contemplating turning it into a necklace because it's so freakin heavy. I'm currently wrapped in blankets and jumping at the sound of howling winds..I'm a total wimp when it comes to cold weather and storms. It's just me, my netflix queue, and a hot cup of tea.
