Form Fitting

This outfit was inspired from this tumblr photo. I knew exactly how I wanted to wear this outfit and where. I can't be the only person who "sees" where a specific outfit should be worn. I really enjoyed styling this outfit, however it was way too humid this day to be wearing it. It's just so hard to wear appropriate clothing when the weather changes every other day. Although I was incredibly excited to wear this outfit, I did have some insecurities. It's not that I care what other people think of my clothes, but I care when they comment on it- specifically cat-calling. I was a bit self-conscious because I was aware that this dress hugged and accentuated my curves, but I just didn't want to have to hear anyone say anything about it. Of course I did get some comments in the street but I need to learn to answer back and tell them that it is not okay. I dress for myself, not for anyone else's pleasure. Also, I need to figure out what to do with my bangs.

The Great Googa Mooga: Saturday

I won Saturday tickets to The Great Googa Mooga in Prospect Park. Googa Mooga is a food and music festival where restaurants and other food vendors line up serving one special dish. As you try to make the difficult decision of which food to try, you can enjoy live music at any of the three stages. I was excited to get Saturday tickets because I had been dying to see Pearl and the Beard. They were so fun, beautiful, and exciting live! I also enjoyed an abundance of food. The problem was it was really quite expensive. I tried a spicy mac-and-cheese, a jelly donut which was also filled with foie gras, which I was unaware of and immediately thew it out (such a waste), I also had a macaroon for the first time (it was DELICIOUS!), I had three tacos cochinita pibil, which were absolute heaven, and finally a red-velvet cream cheese-ice cream sandwich. I sure know how to treat myself!

I also saw Father John Misty. He had some pretty killer dance moves and funny jokes.






hehehe





Hell yeah I enjoyed that.

DIY Ain't No Wifey Tank

The famous Doll Skill "Ain't No Wifey" tank has been making its rounds around bloggers and models. When Jessica saw it on my tumblr, she said she wanted to make one. For her birthday I decided to put my DIY skills to use and make one for her. I should warn you though, my DIY version is not really like the original version and I may have messed up slightly, but that's what makes it special no? Well, I guess if you don't like it, then don't follow my instructions- or alter them to fit your needs. That's what DIY's are for anyway!

What You'll Need:

- Xacto Knife

- Computer, Printer, Ink

- Paper

- Paint brush

- Black fabric paint

- Newspaper

- White Tank Top (mine if from H&M)

Step 1: On a word document, type the words Ain't No Wifey in bold, 130 size, and font Abadi MT Condensed Light (this is the closest font I could find to the original font). Print this onto computer paper.

Step 2: Other DIY blogs say to copy the printed text onto parchment paper so you can iron it on and avoid my later mistakes. Follow their steps. I placed the paper with the text on top of a thick newspaper. I then used the xacto knife to out the letters out so I would have a stencil. 

Step 3: Place the newspapers inside the tank top, under the section you will paint over. Place the stencil over that section.

Step 4: Using your paintbrush, take small amounts of fabric paint and paint over the cut-out section. If you use regular paper like me, you will find that the paint will seep through and onto the tank.

Step 5: Remove the stencil carefully and let the shirt dry. Mine didn't come out exactly as planned but my dad said it looks worn in and he prefers it that way. If you want yours to come out perfect I suggest following Step 2. 

Summer Lovin'

Finals week is coming up really soon for me and I'm just getting incredibly excited for summer. I have so much planned and I just hope it all gets done! Here I leave you with some photos, music, and gifs that are getting me pumped for summer.

 

Most photos are from tumblr, two of the coney island ones are mine.

Spring Fling Year 2

Spring Fling is basically a big carnival put on by my university at the end of the spring semester. It consists of lots of rides, games, free food, club and group tabling, funnel cakes, fried oreos, music presented by organized groups, and this year Yellowcard played. I really wanted to make the most of it since I unfortunately/happily won't be here next spring fling.

I was so excited about my cotton candy!

Opening band from my university. They won battle of the bands and the prize was that they got to open for Yellowcard.

DJ Kap Slap. I really can't get into electronic house music or DJ sets. I'm sorry but it isn't real music.

So much respect for Yellowcard. I really want to thank them for everything they did. Their equipment was left in Miami due to plane connection complications so they went to the local Guitar Center to get equipment for the show, they put on an AMAZING show, and lost their voices for us. It was just super nostalgic and fun, especially when they played Ocean Avenue.

Tres Leches Sobre El Cielo

The title of this post is actually and inside joke Kendall and I have, but I will attempt to explain. Since I have recently been obsessed with the novel and film of Tres Metros Sobre El Cielo, I have not stopped talking about it, watching it, and forcing friends to fall in love with the story. For my birthday, I made a Pastel de Tres Leches. Kendall mixed up the two and combined them to call the novel Tres Leches Sobre El Cielo and naturally, I died of laughter. I'm sure it is much funnier to us than you, reader, but it was one of those moments where you just had to be there. Anyway, for my birthday fiesta I made lots of delicious Mexican food including: tacos de papa, tostadas, guacamole, pico de gallo, platanos, and I even bought Sangria soda. Everyone enjoyed it all, for which I was so grateful. Sarah and Jesse also bought me a piñta which we dubbed Javier and then soon beheaded. Also, special thanks to Kendallah for being so supportive and an amazing best friend! I'm so lucky to have the sweetest friends.

 

My baby-boo.

They didn't come out perfect like my mom's but they were close enough. 

Yummm.

Sangria soda!
