too lazy to function

Oh geez, oh man! So much has been going on lately in the magical land of Texas. I've begun planning what I'm going to bring on my Europe trip, filling out scholarships, watching plays over the weekend, cleaning vintage clothing, and the list could go on! In the midst of all of these events, I'm reminded of how happy it makes me that I have less than 30 days of high school left. If you haven't noticed already, I abhor high school. Yes, I have a small group of friends and theatre (which is basically done with now...so technically I just have my small group of friends), but that is literally it. I'm sick of all these dramatic teenagers and am filled with an immense amount of exhilaration for summer to start. Speaking of summer, I have a job interview at Old Navy tomorrow for a summer job! If you lovely people would send some shout-outs to the universe I would greatly appreciate it. Among everything else, one of my friends and her mother gave me 16 garbage bags stuffed with vintage clothing!!!!! I'm still in shock that they just gave me all this stuff, because there are some real gems (including shift dresses from the 60s, go-go boots from the 60s, faux fur coats, etc.). I've washed about half of the clothes already and I hope to put some stuff on Etsy and of course, my antique booth. Recently, I've had over 200 people like my new facebook page and I'm so pleased! I'm thinking about doing a little giveaway within the U.S. once I hit 300- so tell your friends about the Mad Mod Shop!

I've been taking pictures lately, but with my phone because I'm too lazy to function (not really...but yes really). I need to start disciplining myself to take more photos with my camera again for a couple reasons: 1.) because I really enjoy it and 2.) because my phone camera sucks in comparison. Anyways, the sunglasses are from Blue Velvet Vintage, the vest and skirt is thrifted, and the purse is from Replay on 19th.

 The BEST burgers in the world is at a little hole in the wall called Burger Boy by the antique mall. They also have the bessssst milkshakes in the world (plus you can get any flavor you want). I love going there and taking my time to eat, because it's the best place in the world to people watch. The joint is ran by a cute little hispanic family and their customers come in every shape, size, and color! // My parents are in Italy right now, and my dad decided he was going to take Mick Jagger(instead of me, haha) with him. All week he has been sending me photos of Mick with winemakers, on gazebos, etc., but by far, this one is my favorite! It's of Mick in the city center in Verona.

everything is so pretty

 It is finally starting to feel like Spring. The cold fronts have finally gone away and everything outside is so vibrant and green. I just can't get over how pretty it is today, and I hope this is only the beginning of a beautiful season! On an even brighter note I found the perfect shoes for my Europe trip in June! I have come to discover that it is excruciatingly difficult to find adorable, comfortable shoes. Luckily I found the perfect ones from Clarks (I'll put up a picture eventually~ They aren't super exciting, but damn, they are hella comfy). I just remembered an even brighter(er) thing: I sold the most vintage clothing thus far last month at my antique booth!!!! It wasn't that much, but it was definitely wayyyyy more than I am used to so I was very excited. 

 The most amazing goodies from Saffa! I ordered the Moonrise Kingdom notebook from her a while back, but it got lost in the mail so when she sent me a new one she also added some stickers, a patch, and a freakin' Royal Tenenbaums notebook!

 The denim vest is a little project I'm currently working on. I'm trying to have plenty of custom/up-cycled items for the big Pop Shop in May~

Some new granny booties I got a while back for the play (just not getting them back and I plan on wearing them everywhere). The scarves behind the boots are all vintage and we a gift from a fellow antique vendor!

Well, I don't have anything else new to ramble on with...I hope everyone is having a super, fantastic, awesome Monday! 

why should I care If I have to cut my hair?

Yup, that's right! I cut my hair on a whim last night (actually my sister did, but you know what I mean). I really wanted to in January and do a "new year new hair" thing but I couldn't because of the play I was in. Friday was our last performance so I couldn't resist to cut my golden locks! At first I really didn't like it and I was like "Oh god what did I do? I can't do the messy bun anymore oh god oh god what happened to my beautiful long hair!?!??!" I think I was so hesitant at first because all of my favorite bloggers have such long, pretty hair...but even though it's only been one day I really love this cut! I'm also thinking about dyeing my hair strawberry blonde, but I'm not sure yet. It's been lingering in my mind for a while now as well as this haircut so who knows what I will decide to do!

I've been super inspired by fashion photos on tumblr and things on etsy. Like there are so many fashionable and talented babes on the internet! I've been trying to control myself into buying things that are only super unique, really colorful, or something I actually need. That being said I haven't bought anything (besides cheeseburgers) in almost a whole month. Which is really awesome because I'm usually a shopaholic (like you guys couldn't tell haha). Anywho I hope you enjoy the photos below as much as I do!

Okay, wow, hi everyone! Long time no blog! The last week has been super emotional and busy for me and I apologize for my absence but you know how it goes sometimes. Last Friday was the second round of my theatre competition and unfortunately we didn't advance (because I'm pretty sure one of the schools cheated but that's a different story for another time). I was really upset all weekend because I love this play so much and it's my last one until I graduate high school BUTTTTT sometimes that's just how it goes and I'm okay now. Other than that I've been super scatter brained with college stuff, scholarships, and trying to get a summer job. I applied to old navy and their starting pay is $10 an hour so hopefully I get it! Send some good job juju my way~ Im excited because I found ascholarship for student who show an interest in sewing and I'm working on a Victorian collar for that! (Will provide pics when it's done)

Let's see...what else is new? I finished the show, Hemlock Grove on Netflix and OH MYLANTA talk about emotions flying! Overall it was a very good show but the season finale was just too stressful. I also discovered the hilarity called Cannibal! The Musical. I was sort of afraid to watch it but it's actually one of the funniest low budget films I've ever seen! I haven't had the chance to take any decent photos so below is a slew of stuff from my insta. (#professionalblogger)

everything thrifted except for my Gerry pin from the Pulp Girls

Last Saturday was trade days in new waverly! Unfortunately it wasn't successful for me AT ALL but I still had fun and met some really cool antique lovers and dealers. So in the end it was worth it~

This past Christmas my dad got me a Mick Jagger action figure and I'm pretty sure he loves it more than me haha! This past week he was in San Antonio for business and end up taking a day trip to the Alamo with Mick. He took a lot more photos of Mick and I'll be putting them on here from time to time for shits and giggles. 

I cannot even find words to describe how EXCITED I am for Pop Shop in May! I've been planning a funky layout and banners for this big event and I hope anyone in the area can stop by and make it! Remember I'm always up for bartering too. Also my Facebook page for the Mad Mod Shop has reached over 200 likes! I'm thinking of doing a little giveaway when I maybe reach 300 or 350 so stay tuned for that! (If I do a giveaway it has to be within the USA which SUCKS but I don't have money to ship free merch put of the country.)
okay, less about me: How has everyone been?? Leave a comment below to tell me something great that has happened to you recently!!
