teeth

Hey, cool cats!
It's been too long! It's been a whole year! Okay, not really, but you know I had to pull a joke like that. Last week I had my wisdom teeth removed, so I have been recovering ever since (and am still not fully healed *frown emoji*). That being said, this was the first actual outfit I wore since my surgery. I feel like it's a lot different than what I usually do, but in a good way. Absolutely nothing is new with me, besides the fact that I now have four less teeth in my mouth, and I'm disappointed with the Golden Globes (except Michael Keaton!!!!), but I just wanted you all to know I'm still alive! And will be posting regularly again soon.

Goodbye and Good Riddance!!!

Happy New Year, everyone!
It's not quite next year yet over here, but it already is in some places (and there is no way I can make it to midnight, because I'm exhausted). I hope everyone had an amazing and safe night. I don't know about you cool cats, but 2014 was not so great for me- actually it really sucked (for the most part). But out with the old, in with the new! That being said, I am so excited for 2015!! I'm really scared, because there is so much change I'm still getting used to. But I am more than ready for what lies ahead in this new year. Above is the only photo I got of my outfit today, due to the fact that I worked all day. But I honestly can't complain, because I love my job. It's just a bummer, because I had such a great outfit (with teal palazzo pants!!)... That just means I'll have to wear it again, right? Besides, I do not fear being an outfit repeater.

For my last post of 2014, I decided to do something a little bit different. I've collected one photo from each month this past year. Some are favorite outfits, some memories associated with the original post, etc. It was really tough to choose, but I hope you all enjoy! This blog has grown so much this year, and it's going to grow even more this up coming year!
January I discovered the singer, Natalia Kills. Although I don't listen to her music that much anymore, I am still so in love with her sense of style and bad ass vibes. I honestly don't remember a lot from February. But I do remember this amazing outfit! I feel like it might need to make a comeback.
March was pretty chill. (Yup, that's it.)
 April was so great, because of Easter! Usually I do something semi-boring with family, but this year I got to spend it with friends. I honestly think about this memory a lot, and I really miss that day. This month is also important, because for the first time in almost four years I changed my hair! 
  May AKA I graduated high school!! I also dyed my hair a copper-ish color and had my first taste of technicolor hair dye. Can it get any better than that??? June was weird. I don't remember much from this month (except Europe), but working a lot.
 So, um, Europe!! I technically went in June, but made the post about the glorious adventure in July. So you know, why not?! This was such an amazing experience, and I still can't believe I went! I honestly cannot wait to go back either- ESPECIALLY France.
Pink hair! College! Oh my August, was crazy! This month was so emotional for me on so many levels.
 
September was really hard.  I had to grow up a lot since I was living on my own. I was really depressed that month and most of my days were filled with panic attacks, bad diets, and long naps. I can't remember for sure, but I think it was around the end of this month when I realized college was not for me. At least right now in my life. 
 October wasn't very good either, but I discovered I make one hell of a Beetlejuice! November was really weird. To sum it up, I never cleaned and I ended up sleeping on old ramen noodles for almost an entire week (this was not intentional by the way). December! Where did it even go??? I swear, this month flew by so quick. Just yesterday I sat thinking, "How is this month already over?" In a nutshell, things are starting to look brighter!

Okay, this year I have decided to not make any New Years resolutions. This is due to many reasons, but the main reason is quite simple: I think it's really stupid to have resolutions for yourself for a whole year. Really and truly, everyone should have resolutions for themselves everyday. I'm sick of not pushing myself to my full potential, and it stops here. 2015 here I come!

hair crazy

Hey, dudes!
I hope everyone is having a relaxing week. Besides it's the last one of 2014! My week has consisted (so far) of working, watching Breaking Bad, and getting ready to re-launch my etsy shop! That's right, I'm finally putting The Mad Mod Shop back on the internet. I'm coming at it with a totally new angle, and I'm very, very excited to say the least. Look forward to some amazing vintage pieces and unique handmade accessories!!!
In other news, it's finally cold outside! It's one of those things where I'm really excited about it, because I love layering everything, but at the same time I hate it because I get cold so easily (and I end up wearing 3 sweaters and a parka. very fashion backwards instead of forwards, hah). Either way, I'll take the cold over nasty, humid weather over any day.

So I've been dye-ing to do something new with my hair. Ever since I cut it and dyed it pink I have gotten easily bored with it... like most things nowadays if we're being honest here. I'm not exactly sure what I want to do, but I'm really leaning towards something peachy or sea green. For the cut, I have no idea what I want, but I want something new! I think it's becoming tradition that I make a drastic change for the new year. *insert winky face emoji*

Hope you all are doing well!!!

all i want is everything

 Merry Christmas, babes!
I hope everyone had an amazing day whether or not they celebrate this holiday. I also hope you enjoy my sad attempt of a ~Christmas-y~ background as well. In my head it looked a lot better, but after I hung it up I knew I was already in too deep. Somehow I still kinda like it so it wasn't a total waste of time. Overall I had a really nice day. I saw a bunch of family and friends that I hadn't seen in a long time and spent the rest of the day with my parents and sister. It's just so weird, because it felt so different this year. I don't know how to explain it, but it just wasn't the same. I got some really nice gifts from everyone, and I'm just really grateful I have some amazing people in my life. There's not a lot in my life right now, so the important one's really mean a lot to me.
A present from my dad. As some of you might already know I'm kind of really obsessed with Nasty Gal (I just wish I could afford it, ahaha). That being said, I'm super stoked to start reading it!
The other gift from my dad, which I'm still totally shocked about! I've been drooling over these boots for a few months, and now that they are mine I can die peacefully. Just make sure to bury me in these boots!
