 I FINALLY got a camera of my own! (I've been using my sister's Canon Rebel ever since the world began) It was a graduation present (but really & truly my fav grad present was from Cass and it's John Waters' autobiograpHY EEEE!), and I'm so so happy. Now I will be taking photos of EVERYTHINGGGG. So get ready, folks.

 L.M. Strange also graduated this weekend! Today I went with her and her parents to the airport, because she is traveling to England to stay with her boyfriend. It's soooo weird that I won't be seeing her every week, but they'll most likely meet up with me when I'm in London.

Okay, so I kind of went nuts on the photos, but you guys will shortly understand. This new antique/boutique shop opened in a neighboring town, and I am in love. The place is called Annette's and it is filled with magical handmade decor, jewelry, antiques, and clothing that is vintage inspired. We passed this glorious building on the way to graduation (oh yeah I didn't take any grad pics because it was hotter than heck and I'm lame so sorry), and knew the moment we saw it we had to go. So yeah, the pictures really explain it all! 

 Praise the Lard!

 Two of the most beautiful skirts I have ever seen! Maybe I'll come back and get one...

 Accurate map of Texas.

 This Jesus statue was about eight feet tall, and I need it in my life.

That bowling sign!!!

 ALMOST bought this mask, but I had to stop myself (because I really need to save my money).

 [insert heart eyes emoji]

 I really liked the shape and deconstruction of these pieces...

 There will always be a place in my heart for vintage press on wallpaper.

 Pins I bought from Annette's for only $2 each (TYBG for vintage reprint pins)!

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SWIMSUIT EVER. The price hurt my soul, but my dad insisted I couldn't live without it (which I am FOREVER grateful). I've never been comfortable in swimsuits for many reasons, but thanks to this swimsuit I want to swim and never leave the water! The best part about this swimsuit it that it was made in San Diego, CA,  and I'm pretty sure it's going to last me at least 10 years.

If you haven't noticed, my life post-high school has noticeably improved. How has everyone else been? Tell me about your last weeks or high school/college/whatever in a comment below!

WOAH TOMORROW I AM GRADUATING. Okay, as you guys already know, I'm super pumped. Alright, onto bigger and better things: which is a lot. First off, I saw Maleficent with my mom and grandma today, and WOW GO SEE IT RIGHT NOW. It was really amazing, and I hope one day I'm a bad bitch like Angelina Jolie, alright. I also had sushi for lunch, and have a gluten free pizza waiting for me in the fridge. Overall, today was really amazing. Plus I discovered the wonders of Pac-Sun (pictured below). 

I've started drawing and writing again. I always feel like a poop head when I don't do either or, and I'm glad I'm making myself do it again. I'm really into colored with markers, cutting out shapes, drawing people, and song lyrics right now. I just hope I stick with it this time (and I plan on keeping a journal when I go to Europe next month)! The last journal page I did yesterday, because during Senior sign-out day at my school I realized who my real friends are. While I was standing in the scorching humidity, I realized I was a "convenient" friend to most of the people I used to call my friends (which means whenever they have nothing else to do they call me). It's sad and shocking to realize this, but I'd rather have a small group of really great friends than a large group of acquaintances. Now the real world is beginning for me...

 Cheetah skirt from Urban Outfitters, vintage lace jacket, pineapple hat from Forever21, and guess who won Best Dressed at their school this year??? Haha, that's right: me! I'd like to thank my haters, my parents, and John Waters for such a lovely award.

 Striped overalls (for my Beetlejuice costume for Comic Con) from Forever21, Lazy Oaf beanie from Urban Outfitters, eye necklace from Pac-Sun, the most amazing sunglasses EVER from Pac-Sun.

 Aztec print high waisted pants, sunflower shorts, crop top, and bras all from Pac-Sun.

The most adorable, best present ever from Cass!

My favorite graduation card from my Aunt and Uncle.

I can't believe I'm finally typing this, but I am finally done with high school. No more tedious, bull shit work about sentence structure, no more dip puddles in the hall, and did I mention: NO MORE HIGH SCHOOL!!! It's super surreal, but definitely one of the best feelings ever. I'm so scared for the future (mainly the money part), but I am so freakin' ready. Ugh, I have no other words to describe my happiness, because I'm still in shock. Okay, less about my happy gushing. Lately I have been SUPER inspired by pastel colors, the 1950s, idgaf attitudes, cute couples, and of course, flowers. Below are my some photos I've been referencing a lot lately for outfit inspiration. I have also decided this summer I want to make a lot of clothing for myself (because I'm in love with so many designer clothes but what is money)! So hopefully I'll stick to that goal, and make some bitchin' pieces in the next few months.
