"Pretty on the inside."

 
 
 

"Slut-kiss girls won't you promise her smack
Is she pretty on the inside
Is she pretty from the back"
 
 

"Slut-kiss girls molasses rot black strap
Is she ugly on the inside
Baby ugly, ugly from the back"

It has been disgustingly hot here. I hate it! However, it gave me an excuse to wear this bodysuit I've had for months and never worn. I accidentally got it too big so the straps are always falling off and it's annoying having to fix it. I thought it looked cute paired with this skirt though. This skirt is one of my favorites and I got it at such a steal. Luna B has all UNIF items marked down right now so you should jump on it before they sell out. 

On another note, this is my last week of classes. I am so excited to be over with finals so I can go on my trip to Mexico. I also can't believe I'm almost done with Uni! One more year and I will be a graduate student. Eeeeeep!

"When You WIsh Upon A Star"



"When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires.
Will come to you"



"If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do"



"Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true"

Disneyland, 2014

These are some photos from past trips to Disneyland. They're from different trips, and they were both equally as fun! Can't wait to go back after the semester is over. This heat is making me crave some Dole Whip and some Splash Mountain fun! Three weeks of school left and I'll be freeeeee!

"Seaside"


"Do you want to go to the seaside?
I'm not trying to say that everybody wants to go"


"I fell in love at the seaside
I handled my charm with time and slight of hand"



"But I'm just trying to love you
In any kind of way
But I find it hard to love you girl
When you're far away"

My spring break is over now and I start classes on Monday. This makes me very, very, very sad. I only have 6 weeks of school left for the semester and I know it is going to be packed with final projects and papers. I am not looking forward to it at all! On one of the last days of my spring break we went to Manhattan Beach. It was such a nice day out. Not too hot and not too cold. It was feeling a bit like spring for once! I was looking like such a tourist; fully clothed with docs and all. These jeans are my current obsession though. I have been wanting some UNIF twerk jeans for a while, but they are so expensive. When I came upon these similar ones at the flea market for only $20 I could not say no :3 On another note I tried Lemonade for the first time. A M A Z I N G! Very vegetarian friendly and I highly recommend it. I had blueberry mint lemonade and Bryan had Blood orange lemonade. I am defiantly going back soon!

Here's to going back to school :(

"Sweater Weather"



"Use the sleeves of my sweater
Let's have an adventure
Head in the clouds but my gravity's centered"




"'Cause it's too cold
For you here and now
So let me hold
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater"

Finally on spring break and I have been enjoying ever minuet of it! Yesterday Bryan and I went hiking in Palos Verdes. This is one of my favorite hiking spots. One of the main reasons is because it is so close to my house. It use to be covered in beautiful flowers, but they burned it all down for a study the university is doing. They are starting to grow back, but they are not as lush as they once were. The view is beautiful and the trails are rather easy. If you are new to hiking I would definitely recommend this spot.

Here is the yelp link if you want the directions.

"Fotografia"

         

"Cada vez que yo me voy llevo a un lado de mi piel
Tus fotografas para verlas cada vez
Que tu ausencia me devora entero el corazn
Y yo no tengo remedio ms que amarte"

                                      
     
  
   
"Y en la distancia te puedo ver
Cuando tus fotos me siento a ver
Y en las estrellas tus ojos ver
Cuando tus fotos me siento a ver"
 
        

Expired Fujifilm Disposable Camera
February 2014

I shot another roll for Indisposable Concept last moth. I just haven't gotten around posting it because I have been so busy with school and midterms. That's all over now and spring break is just two weeks away! I was really excited to shoot with my first expired disposable, but I still suck at natural lighting. A lot did not develop or were just too dark that my scanner could not pick it up. Anyways, it was a great learning experience and I enjoyed it.

You can learn more about Indisposable Concept and what they do on my previous post here

"Where is my mind?"


"With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah"


"Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself"


"Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimmin'"

Probably one of my favorite UNIF shirts I own and I only got it for $25 at their sample sale! The looks I get are amazing haha. I was off my babysitting duties today, so I had time to shoot a look. Besides work I have been busy with school, but my classes are so interesting. I could spend all day at the library reading up on all the criminal theories. Surprisingly I have been able to squeeze in some photography time. I miss photographing for my high school yearbook. I've been thinking about submitting my portfolio to the university paper. If I got a spot that would be awesome.

Here's to the end of the week!

"Animal"


"There was a time when my world
Was filled with darkness, darkness, darkness
Then I stopped dreaming now
I'm supposed to fill it up with something, something, something"





"I change shapes just to hide in this place
But I'm still, I'm still an animal
Nobody knows it but me when I slip
Yeah I slip, I'm still an animal"

Shot with a Walgreens brand disposable camera

I recently shot a roll for Indisposable Concept and they are now up on their website. These are just some of my favorites. You can check out my entire roll here. Indisposable Concept inspires people to get back into film by using disposable cameras. The twist is that you have to shoot the entire roll in a week and mail it to them (or email like I did) when your week is up. The results are beautiful; galleries from people all  over the world who have participated. It's a neat experience and actually helps you slow down and admire the beauty that surrounds you. The best part is that its free to participate in and easy. You guys should defiantly check them out and take part of their project! You can learn  more about them here and download the info packet on how to get started here.
