"Immortal"





"Spent the last month feeling bad ’bout myself
I couldn’t speak anything of real hope
And the day came when it hit me like lightning through my veins
A sudden change in my groove, in my walk"


"I am living my life as if I had powers
And tonight I feel immortal
I said tonight I feel immortal
Tonight I feel immortal"

Have you ever woken up in the morning and told yourself "today I'm going to get shit done"? Well that was me this morning. I woke up early, went to a job interview, ordered some school books, and cleaned my room. I had the day off from babysitting, so I took advantage of it. I got a bunch of errands done and I even got to make this post for you guys. The best part is that its still early so I can do whatever I please with the rest of my day.

This shirt really summed up my attitude. I am so happy I ordered it! It was between this one or the "Don't Pray for Me" top. I think I'll buy that one next. If you haven't heard of High Heels Suicide before you should definitely give them a look. They have simple graphic tops that make a huge statement. They also constantly have sales. If you follow the creators instagram she updates it on news of the clothing. I know Dolls Kill carries some of the things, but not all. The top is of the softest cotton and has some distress detailing on the collar. Perfectly light material for supper hot Summer days like today. This is why I'm in my room and not outside ha!

Here's to a great week!

Happy 4th of July fellow Americans! I hope you guys had a great day celebrating. My day was so much fun. I was originally scheduled to close at work, but lucky for me one of my coworkers wanted a shift and she took mine. I was so relived because I really wanted to spend the day with my family. We had a little BBQ at my house and everyone came over. After, we watched Wold War Z illegally haha. The fireworks were fun because it was jacks first time seeing them and he looked so cute. He's my little cousin btw....I know a lot of people think he's my kid just because I'm Mexican haha.... Any who I had a great time with my family. How did you spend your holiday?

Yesterday I took Jack to the mall because he didn't want to nap and I passed by Cotton On. I usually don't shop there because I think their clothes is rather plain, but they were having this big sale. You know I can't resist a sale! This lace skater dress was only $10. I like it because its really light for summer so I won't get too hot in it and its simple so I can dress it up, down, or in this case layer it. I don't really like wearing dresses because I feel like I'm going to flash everyone so I wore my Nike compression shorts under. I highly recommend you get some if you feel uncomfortable like I do. It's a good deal because you can run in them and use them as spanks. They're also really thin and come in different lengths. 

Well, good night!

To the three people that read my blog I'm sorry I haven't posted anything up haha. I had this whole plan over summer and how it was going to be so amazing, but it really blows. I haven't been able to do anything. I always close and I never get weekends off. When I do all my friends work or have better things to do then hang out with me.

I promise I'm going to try a little bit harder to post up regularly. Not that anyone cares, but I really like doing this. I'm not trying to be conceited, trust me I'm the first to admit I'm not at all photogenic. I'm planning to quit my job by the end of summer and I'm going to be working on original pieces made by me. My sewing matching is at my grandmothers house so I haven't been able to use it, but once I'm done with work I'll have more free time to make things and make my post a little more original. I'm also going to be using other models....I know you must be getting tired of my fat face lol.

Well I got this shirt off Urban Outfitters. They had free shipping last week and this shirt was on sale for $38. I hate UO, but it was a good price so I jumped on it. Also I heard UNIF is having a sample sale this Saturday and I will be attending it. The location hasn't been released yet, but follow their instagram and you'll find out soon. I'm wearing shorts btw you just can't see them because my shirt is supper big. It's a size M. I know there shirts run so big, but they only had M and L left when I ordered :(

I think this is the longest post I've ever written. My bad!

So now I leave you with one of my favorite Blink 182 albums EVER. Good night. ❤

"At the Library"


"Hey there lookin' at me
Tell me what do you see
But you quickly turn your head away
Try to find the words I could use
Don't have the courage to come up to you"

Girls like you that I never had"

My favorite part of the entire ship thus far! The library was so pretty I wanted to stay in it the entire trip. It was really relaxing and quiet in there. They also played some cool instrumental music. I want a library in my home so bad, one day I will though! This was on our first night abode the Carnival Inspiration. We dressed up to go to the clubs that night. We ended up not going....I don't remember why though. Regardless we had a fun time :)

I got this dress on sale and they have free shipping in the U.S. the detail on it is amazing, but I recommend it for small busted girls because it can run a little small and tight around that area. These photos make me miss my trip sigh :(

Hope you guys are having a great week!

Today I got back from my five day cruise. It went to Catalina and Ensenada Baja, Mexico. It was so much fun! The ship was amazingly beautiful. The free food was the best! The only thing that sucked was that I got really sick on the last day. It was the day at sea and the ship parked in the middle of no where and there were so many waves the ship rocked back and forth. I couldn't even walk without feeling like I was going to puke. I spent that entire day in bed :(

Well these photos are from our night in Baja. We visited down town after the beach and dinner. It was such a pretty night. It was a nice and clear, but it was so cold! The sights were cool and the shops were fun. It was pretty late and most of the stores were closing so we went back to the ship after about an hour. You tend to stick out like a sore thumb walking next to a white guy haha. I didn't want to get kidnapped! The only think I bought at downtown was a bag of hot Cheetos :)

Have a great weekend!

Iron Fist Sample Sale

Yesterday I went to the 2nd ever Iron Fist Sample Sale. I missed the first one because I had to work, so when this one landed on a day I had off I had to go! They had it in the back of this really snazzy coffee shop in LA. I think it was still part of Korea Town, but it was really nice. I'm thinking about going back there to have lunch and coffee soon. I got there at around 8:30 and there were 4 people already in line. It was suppose to start at 12, but they let us in an hour early! Everything was $15 and under. Keep in mind it is a sample sale so all shoes were mostly size 6, some 7 and 8. The clothes was all size small and some medium. They also had a lot of purses, wallets, sunglasses, belts, and more accessories. Here's what I got:



I love the detail on these heels. Everything from the little hearts on the leather to the roses with sugar skulls in them. They are perfect for summer! Originally $60 and I got them for $15.


These heel are my favorite! You know I'm a sucker for anything with studs. The lace detail makes it look so sweet. These are $70 online, but I only got them for $15!


This is a close up of the print on the skirt I got. Im so in love with the tropical edgy look! The coral color looks really nice on tan skin. It also has pockets! This skirt is online for $40 and I paid $10. This is also the same print on the bikini I got. It's online for $50 and I paid only $10. I can't wait to wear these pieces on my trip to Baja Mexico with my love ❤


This is the print on the blouse I got. I wanted the dress with this print, but the didn't have it. :( I still really like this though! It goes of around $30 and I got it for $5.

So now you know why I love sample sales. You always get the best deals. Follow Iron Fist on Instagram for the announcements to the next sample sale. I had such a fun time I can't wait till the next one! Have a great week!

"Love Cats"


 
"We move like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we lovecats
The way we talk
The way we stalk
The way we kiss"



"We slip through the streets
While everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and sleeker
And wider and brighter
We bite and scratch and scream all night
Let's go and
Throw all the songs we know"



Nightcat Dress by UNIF from Karmaloop

Are you guys cat people, dog people, or both? My parents never let me have a cat :( I've grown up with dogs my entire life, so I guess I'm a dog person haha. Although I'm hopping to having a cat one day! I really love this cat night dress from UNIF. It fits snug and has rad cutout features. I got it on Karmaloop for only $38. Such a great steal! It was on sale plus I used the new rep code they gave me and saved an extra 20%! Karmaloop has such great deals. Go on now and start saving, just use the rep code AF182 to save big!

Some other exciting news is that next week is my last week of school yeeeee! I am so happy for this semester to come to an end. I'm that much closer to reaching my goals and dreams. Soon I'll be in the lab using my forensic skills. Gives me the chills thinking about it. For now though I have a forensic analysis 20 page paper to finish and a 10 page correction paper to start on that's due next week. Homework is never finished until finals are over with.

Are you guys as excited for summer as I am? Hope you guys have an amazing weekend!
