Fair Enough

I went to the fair the other day and my friend bought a little goldfish (which my mom named Tupac; we named it BAMF...both stuck)
Heres our little aquatic bad ass:
Heres another random picture (not from the fair):
Ive been playing guitar a lot more recently and i absolutely have fallen in love with it. Its something that i actually taught myself, without a paid "teacher"

I think thats all I have to talk about today. I feel out of words, recently. Not something I enjoy very much
Much Love,
Torrie

With a Dash of Rose Please

Ah I havent posted an outfit in a while so...
This is what I'm wearing right now. Even though i literally have nothing to do!


I would normally apologize for the awkward picture...but I've decided that I tend to be an awkward person so why apologize for what I am?
Just a close up for P.E. (personal enrichment)

Ive been lazy lately, not wanting to wear anything but boardshorts and a bathing suit top or a lazy tee shirt.

I didnt get far away from the "lazy shirt" idea with this outfit but oh well.

Shirt is from GoodWill, Belt is stolen from mother (she has yet to find out), and the jeans are from buffalo exchange (i think they are originally from UO)

I dont know what else to write, Im feeling very "blah" lately

Goodbye!

Disneyland!

Dreams do come true! (how cheesy?) but seriously. I started summer out with going to disneyland with my friends. It was so fun even though it was packed.
It was definitely one of the more relaxing trips I've ever taken to Disneyland, thats for sure.This was taken in some 3D theater. Ignore the wierdness of us all!

Us on the carousel. I hadn't been on one in ages! They arent as fun as I remembered...but we made a good time of it


Us on the teacups...well in a stationary one, that is.

None of us felt like being very fashionable that day...as you can tell.
Enough of Disneyland, these are making me want to go back!
tata!

Mi Cuarto

I'm pretty sure that means "my room" in Spanish (one would think that after 3 years of Spanish, I would know...)
Here are some pictures of my room taken at a time when it was actually clean!

Actually these are just pictures of my closet, I lied. Sorry. My room probably was not clean when these were taken.
My shoes...ignore the hooker heels please!





My dresses and some jackets

My jean collection (I dont think that is all of them though)

Isn't it wierd how so many people (myself included) think that they never have anything to wear...and yet here are a couple hundred articles of clothing...ready to wear.
Thats all for now!

Evil? Why, yes.

So today was an uneventful day...exams (even though I luckily didn't have a real one). I went shopping, bought some new stuff...YAY!
Im so tired but i liked my outfit today...except for the shoes but oh well
Shirt is from F21, Scarf from a place in Paris, and jeans are thrifted. Shoes are from a boutique in Boston....

Yeah...another awkward photo....of me in midair.

This morning i also had some DELICIOUS blueberries:
I am so tired of school, i want it to be over right now!!! GIVE ME SUMMER!!!
Oh I'm still attempting to paint and here is my latest oil painting: (Right now im focusing on the transitioning of colors)
And I'm also working with watercolor (its a bit boring but I don't know what else to add!):
Im off to studying (actually probably not; Im a horrid procrastinator!). I will probably just go read my new issue of Nylon Magazine (which i LOVE!)
OH! i also read about this new designer via N.E.E.T. Magazine (which is an amazing magazine, read it!).
Her name is Sonia Tay and she runs a company called Snoozer Loser. They have some amazing dreamy tank tops that are to die for! (at least in my opinion)
Check it out!
P.S. Me and my friend Kat have a new little thing going on. Im going to be more positive and she is going to stop being such a pushover. Hopefuly it will work!
Goodbye

Arctic Beams

Good day!
Its absolutely freezing here (for being a Southern California girl that is.) I want to curl up in a big warm blanket.
I watching Balto. Why? you may ask. Simply put, I have no life.
Golf Tournament thing tomorrow. Yippee....not... I hate golf. It's SOOOO boring but my parents insist i play it.
I didn't really wear anything original today so no new pix.
But here's a picture of the northern lights. Aren't they beautiful??

Aurora Borealis...I guess that's the technical term for it at least.

I want to see that one day.

I want school to be done. I'm glad alot of the seniors are leaving (hehe arent i evil??)

Adios!

Oh The Horror

I just painted my first oil painting and here are some things i have learned about it:
1) oil does not come off in water
2) my brushes are worthless
3) it is much harder than i thought
4) there is no erasing that can be done
5) its a very thick paint

But without further adieu (i sincerly doubt i spelled that correctly):
THE PAINTING (crrrringe)
Oh good lord. Thank God this is my very first one. Im still ashamed of it though.
I hope/pray I will get better because this frankly will not do.
Please don't laugh.
See ya!

We Are Us Only

hello :)
SOOOO the padres game was super fun. Here's a picture of the field:
I had tons of fun with my cousins later that night. Ate delicious food, watched Anchorman (MY FAVEEEEEEEEEEE!!!) and..had fun. YAY!


I wore this in the morning (before the game)



And then i just wore some ruca (RVCA) jeans and this top that you probably can't see due to my long hair:




PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ignore my super awkward faces....i'm literally the most unphotogenic person in the world

GOODBYE

Go Friars!

So tonight I am going to a Padres game with my cousin. It's going to be so fun, I always have a great time when i am around her

Im having problems deciding what to wear though. And I don't know what the weather will be. I hope it gets chilly.

This is Petco Park (the Padres Stadium). I personally think it is the most rediculous name for a major league baseball stadium.

I'll be taking my own pictures tonight hopefully.

Tata!

Mon Cherie

I miss being in Paris. Even though it was a year ago, it was still amazing. Here are some pics from the trip
Of course this wasn't really purple. just a touch up on photoshop.

I miss it!


The Louvre right before a huge rainstorm. It was so amazing...because i got stuck in the "Egyptian" section with my friends, i became more intrigued with the
architecture than the art itself.
The Hall Of Mirrors in the palace of Versailles (I'm proud of myself, I didnt have to look up how to spell that!)
Ah i would give anything to go back.
I hardly had anytime to look at anything!
but at least i got to go, right?
My computer is being stupid so im going to go.
Au revoir!

Voice of the Shell

I wore this a while ago, thought it would share
Yes, i am ontop of a car. I have become more and more aware of how un-photogenic i am!


Just in my front yard on this old knife sharpener my great great great Uncle Willabald owned. Close-up of the hat. Unfortunately, I nearly crushed it the other day.

BYE!

Shake Your PROM PROM

ah so prom was a while ago but i had sooo much fun! I went with one of my friends and it was really cool. It was at the wild animal park.
My dress was fine, (my hair sucked! i hate it now that i look back!) i wore hooker heels, and one of the corsage roses fell out but it was still great!
PIXXXX:
Me and one of my besties, Kelsey! we had soo much fun

I pretended to put the boutineer (sp?) on my date, but in reality, my friend's mom did it



All us girls

Me and the date in this cardboad cut-out thing


ah ok im tired of posting pics
It was so fun, amazing night, great laughs, and tired legs after dancing the night away .
See ya!

I am a pirate, you are a princess

I erased all my old posts. They were lame, i decided.


Annnyhoo... life has been crazy, terrible, fun, amazing, dreamy, fantastic. I'm nearly failing school, so it looks like community college might be right around the corner.

here are some random pictures:

im just wierd...hiding in the grass and all.

taken from the fountain in my pool. I liked the bubbles and the color so why not post it?








going up to Utah, i felt inspired so i took it.



oh, this is a really boring post, sorry. But its going to have to do.

My Blog

Cliche-ly I will say that this is a place where I can let out my thoughts, feelings, outfits, poetry, art or whatever else I may feel the need to add.
This is a place where my views are shown, like looking through a kaleidoscope and twisting it about. That's what i intend to do with life always, to try and see it through a different light and come out with a whole new image.

Love,
Torrie
