Little Boxes

I love that song by the Shins!...I think they are the ones that sing it anyways.
Well this is what I wore today...no big deal. I'm really just a giant outfit repeater.

Ignore the face...please!
Ok normally I would NEVER put this horrible of a picture THIS CLOSE up...but I was wearing a headband that I enjoyed and thats the only semi-decent pic I took...I made it out of a shredded-up T-shirt.Typical day, chilled with one of my best buds, Kelsey. I was in a fantastic mood. I love when that makes the day oh so much betterI think Kelsey would kill me if she knew I was posting these....Oh well, I think they depict our true insanity quite nicely.She loves that fedora...and yet she has yet to wear it...Oh random pictures: Me and my boyfriend..everything's fine now. Too bad I like him so much. Isn't he a cutie?...Ignore the stupid outfit on himIll post more pics of random things later, my sister is being annoying and demanding the computer!

Bye!

We Speak In Different Voices

Does anyone listen to Saosin? I love that band so much! Check em out for sure!
Ugh here is a terrrrrribly bad picture of me looking about the age of 13 (awesome..not) in an outfit I might wear, should I feel the need to be drab in winter.

Its alright, it serves its purpose of covering me up and keeping me above the droll trends circulating at my school.

I apologize for the bad photo quality; I didn't realize it was so horrendous! Sorrrry!

The rest of these pictures are just random, I think. I got a new bag while in Hawaii. Its extremely busy and makes for a fantastic beach bag!I just drew this randomly in my free time. I've decided that even though I'm not good at drawing, I still enjoy drawing so I need to practice wayyyy more. And so the practicing commenced with the birdcage.Random Lake Powell Picture. Its so amazing out there, I feel so at peace. I want to go there right now, life got hectic all of the suddenI drew this for my boyfriend...well ex-bf now? i guess? I don't know. Complex situations just fill my life right now. But its not bringing me down at all so I'm very happy. It's so strange; usually things like this totally bum me out. But I feel fine and...alive for lack of a better word.

One more picture: Just me with some of my best buds, hanging out, being our goofy selves. They make me sooo incredibly happy and fill me up in just the right way that no boy or perfect pair of jeans or awesome guitar or value of money can ever fill up. I love em soooo much. Senior year is going to rock!

Ok enough from me, I've written wayyy too much. I really don't expect anyone to read this anyways.

Love everyone!

Ex Nihilo

Ay i havent been on in forever! I apologize immensly, my camera was being stupid plus I was gone the entire month of August. I went to Lake Powell and Maui. It was amazing, to say in the least.
I just drew this in my art class the other day. I felt that I needed a picture to accompany the post, however boring it may be.
School started and as much as I would love to gripe about how this year will be a challenge and how busy I have been, I totally haven't. This is going to be the best year ever.
I will have another post shortly; I just felt compelled to apologize for the fact that i have been M.I.A. for such a long time!

Owl Eyes

If I was ever going to be a singer, "Owl Eyes" would be my name for sure. Its so legit!

Anyways, I'm contemplating wearing this to a Padres game on Friday evening. But it may be a tad chilly for that.No, I won't really wear my pink construction hat. I had just found that right before the picture and I thought "Hey, why not?".

I look like I'm about 5. Awesome. Isn't this a cool graphic? I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a spider web. I got it at UO on sale (yay!), the skirt is from F21, and my shoes are just regular old amazing Vans.
Random photos:My sister made dessert tonight. Its some wierd jello and peaches. It looks kinda strange, but it was really delicious!

I drew this peacock a while ago. Its really really light though. I just think peacocks are so pretty. I LOVE the colors of their feathers.

This is my dog, Auggie. Auggie Doggie. I love him, but hes getting old... I think hes about 7? 8? Gah I forget!
I'm going to go to sleep soon. (hopefully!)
Byyyyye!

I Woke Up In A Car

I have been listening to Something Corporate alot recently. (LOVE THEM!)

Anyhoo, I went up to Laguna a day or two ago. I bought SOOOO many clothes. But instead of doing a giant "NEW OUTFITS" post, I'm just gonna post them when I wear them.

Just a snapshot of the harbor. It was really pretty up there, I was happy.
Sorry for the snarl in the picture. I didn't mean to! Anyways, those are just cheap F21 jeans and my new shirt from Urban Outfitters. I like it alot!

OH! I saw this amazing documentary called "The Crips and Bloods: Made in America". It was so fascinating. They talked with actual gang members, they went through the history of how these gangs came to be.
Its so interesting, I highly suggest everyone watches it. It really opened my eyes to how actions that I do to other people can affect them for the rest of their life.

Just watch it.
I hope everyone has a great day today! I'm probably just going to stay home and clean and then HOPEFULLY go hang out with one of my friends by her community pool...with hotties!

The Getty

I'm baaaaack! I went up to the Getty and Laguna for a couple days. I'm going to be honest, I didn't like the getty all that much (and I love art!). But there were some very interesting pieces in there.

These are just random pictures taken in different locations at the museum. The picture that shows LA peeking through the columns makes me wonder why people think Los Angeles is so amazing. To me, all I see is smog, crowds, and noise.

This is what I wore that day. Just my UO jeans, a thrifted Topshop shirt, some random sandals found in a store in North Carolina, and a thrifted bag. It's kinda boring, but oh well

I had fun though, even though it was verrrry hot!

I'll post about Laguna in a second!

Hold On To Me

Hey there! I just had to share this movie I saw last night called Since Otar Left... . It was really good. I highly suggest renting it. (It's in Russian and French, though. Just to tell you.)Its really good. WATCH IT!
Today I am going up to Los Angeles with my cousin, hoping to get some thrifting in! (We are going to some aquarium, I'm happy because I haven't been to an aquarium in YEARS.)

I just love this picture, so here it is! If only I had gotten the sunset.

Lately my outfits have been SO boring. In the morning, I sit there just staring at my clothes. My mind has run dry (like it does ALOT of the time). Hopefully if we go thrift shopping, I will pick up some snazzy items!

Lotsa Love

Torrie

PS I do NOT take credit for Since Otar Left movie poster

An Amazingly Realistic Video

I saw it. I finally saw 500 Days Of Summer. It was great; I thought the acting was good, the storyline was good and best of all: It wasn't on of those movies that bullshits you into thinking that just because you really like someone, you will end up with them.

It kept it real. At first I was sad that they weren't going to end up together, but I was happy when they didn't.

....Here is a picture of a papyrus plant....I'm still not sure why i decided to take it, but I thought it made an intersting shadow so I thought "Why not?"
I shall post outfits later (hopefully)

Have A Good Day!
Torrie

P.S. That 500 Days of Summer poster is NOT of my design and I do NOT take credit for it.

Swamis

So I went to the beach (as promised) but I didnt take pictures.... I know, I'm terrible. So I decided to quick take a few snaps of my outfit at home today.This is just a simple dress from F21, a thrifted purse (which i ADORE!) and my grandmother's sunglasses.Just another nearly-the-same pose.
Today was a surprisingly great day. This family came over and even though all of the kids were younger than me, I had a great time!
I took a nap, read a book, wrote some poetry...sucessful summer day, I would say!

I just found out I am going up to the Getty on Sunday and spending the night in Laguna so I'm excited! I also am going up to LA (hopefully!) with my cousin on Saturday to do some thrifting and museum hopping.
Great summer, for sure!
Lotsa Love, Chickadees!

These Giant Seahorses

So I went up to Julian (this small quaint little town) recently and bought some deliscious apple pie and a few other things. It was very fun...and very hot!

I bought this necklace; isn't it cute? recently i have been in LOVE seahorses. I think they are adorable!

I bought this hat (even though i already have one very similar). I couldn't resist. This is why I have no money!

I also went to the lake with my family and had an amazing time. This gross-looking moss was covering all of the "trees" so I decided to take a picture.I painted this a while ago; just a reminder of something that is so incredibly important to me. Without my friends, I would probably be nothing.

I'm heading out to the beach tomorrow so I will hopefully have an outfit posted!

Love Lots,
Torrie

Yeah, Like Tigers and Walnuts

Today was the worst day I have had all summer...I'm not kidding, I did absolutely nothing...NOTHING!!

Well, I did go to Barnes and Noble by myself and just checked out music. I love the band Something Corporate right now

Zis is vat I wore:

Boring, I know. But it fit my mood. My shirt is from pacsun and the skirt is from Target .

Ignore the awkward hand position...I have no idea, I think I was moving back my crazy medusa hair.

My mask from homecoming last year finally came in handy!...well not really but oh well.

This used to be my absolute favorite movie when I was about 7 years old (I was a strange child!)

Clark Gable is absolutely dreamy!

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day...even though nothing is planned for this entire weekend. Ah this is depressing!

Goodnight, chickadees...even though no one is reading this!
