So instead of going to the football game this Saturday some friends and I decided to take photos in the woods next to my house. I'm so happy with these photos, because they just have really great fall vibes and the sun piercing through the trees is just freakin' beautiful. I'm kind of in love with the dress I'm wearing for a million reasons. I bought it on clearance from Urban Outfitters for $10, and it's probably the most versatile, comfiest dress I have ever owned in my entire life. Annnnnd the shoulders are cut out and I just think that is too cool. Ugh, the weather has been so perfect lately. The hottest it's been is 75(F), and I wish it would be like this all year round. 

If you haven't heard, Lou Reed died today... It's really bummed me out today, because he was such a legend, and has brought me so much inspiration through writing and music. Unfortunately, there's not much we can do except continuing listening to his flawless music and share it with the world, because that's what he would want.

holy bat skirt, batman!

I'm totally in love/proud of this bat skirt I made! My theatre teacher was getting rid of a bunch of fabric, and I found this beauty peaking out along with a few other Halloween fabrics. I made the skirt based off of another one I've made, so it's a little janky, but there's nothing safety pins cannot fix! Unfortunately the blue/purple has almost completely faded in my hair, but that just means I can apply at some jobs now (most places in the country aren't fans of "fake" colored hair apparently). So far I plan on applying to Starbucks, because that's the only place I know of near me that's hiring (with the age requirement at 16). I don't really want to work there, but I need a job besides my antique booth, and yeahhh. But there's nothing more in life that I want more in this world then to GRADUATE ALREADY. I'm 1000% done with high school, and I want to start my life already. I know when I get out it will be a lot more difficult, but in all honestly, it's worth it. What do you guys do to get past your school days blues?

GUYS IT IS FINALLY FEELING LIKE OCTOBER. The weather is cooling off, it's been sprinkling all day, and the sun isn't out. I have never been so excited for weather in my life, and I can really get into the spooky spirit now.

I had a Halloween party with some lovely friends this weekend (where I was Gilly from SNL)! Look for the rest of the photos on The Pulp Zine sometime soon ;-)

Just some really nice October vibe photos by Damon.

meet me at the cemetery

I can't even put together proper sentences to describe how excited I am for Halloween. I'm slowly getting into the October feels (even though the month is halfway over). I started pulling decorations out for my Halloween party this weekend, and all of a sudden I AM SO PUMPED I always forget just how much I love October and the (second) best holiday ever. My dad got a projector so we plan on watching the Rocky Horror Picture Show outside on a big sheet and I AM SO EXCITED. My theatre teacher gave me a bunch of Halloween fabric (because she was going to THROW IT AWAY!!!), and I decided to make a skirt out of some of the fabric- so keep an eye out for that! Another thing great about this month is that you can eat ALL the candy you want, and can't be judged. 

Okay, some of my favorite blogger babes are always in the Halloween spirit, and I just love them to death because of it. 

Spookypuke is probably my biggest creepy-crawly inspiration ever. I mean look at her- she is the living, breathing Halloween!

Throughout the month I plan to talk about more blogger babes, and LOTS more inspiration. For now enjoy this spotify playlist I CAN'T stop listening to! 

it doesn't even feel like october

OH MY GOODNESS, it feels like I have been gone for years (although it was just a week-ish). I have been sooooo busy lately, and I'm just now finding time to blogging. It's actually been so hectic, I didn't realize it was already October! The weather in Texas has suuuuuucked all month, because it's either rainy, humid, hot or all of the above. Where I live there aren't a lot of houses that decorate for Halloween, and that bites, too...On the bright side I'm having a Halloween party soon, and I plan on showing Rocky Horror Picture Show and making s'mores while dressed as Gilly.

 Vintage roller skates I bought, and now I'm not sure what to do with them...Maybe I'll finally learn how to skate!

 The least messiest part of my room right now.

VIP passes and wristbands from events I've attended this week!

 

Pictures I took in Louisiana I've been meaning to scan (which I will probably never get around to)

Even though the past weeks have been a drag, this last week really made up for it. Not only did I get to see Walk The Moon in concert (and meet them!), but Dark Deeds At Swans Place or Never Trust A Tattooed Sailor (a melodrama play I'm in, and I've helped make a lot of the costumes) was a success, ANNNND I went to the food truck festival today! So even though I've felt like a useless blob for a while, it finally paid off. Because of school I felt like an emotion-filled sack of meat, and I realized no one says how I'd been feeling better than Marcia Brady. Although she's probably the most annoying character, she's definitely the most quotable, and by far the most fashionable. I no longer feel like I'm stuck in a rut, but the hours in a day seems to be shrinking, and when I'm not busy, I'm exhausted. The past few days I've been having an internal battle for what I'm going to choose as my major in college...For a while I stuck with fashion merchandising, but I realized that's not the thing for me. I'm now leaning towards technical/design theatre, because it involves a lot of things I'm interested in (costume design, playwright, acting, set design, etc.). Who knows what I'll decide on by the time I actually get into college. I just hope I pick whatever is the best for me, and that it makes me happy.

Me and some friends with Walk the Moon!
