Brining the sunshine

Yesterday was so grey and cloudy. I decided i wasn't going to let the ugly weather get me down, so i chose to make my own sunshine. I put on the brightest (maybe 2nd brightest) yellow shirt i own. I think it worked. I got to spend the day in Beverly Hills with a dear friend who i hadn't seen since January (i couldn't believe it had been that long). We spent the day window shopping, exploring decorating stores,  and eventually looking at an apartment for her to rent (which happens to be perfect.... praying it works out), and getting dinner at CPK all while dodging rain drops. This wonderful day ended with a gorgeous bright pink sunset as we drove home from LA.

Here are a few pics from the day

Just kidding....
Well i just learned that there is a storage limit for photos. Apparently I have hit my limit. So until i fix this problem without buying a monthly plan i will try and recreate my outfits on polyvore and link you to them. Oh google/blogger how you create problems that i didn't even know were possible.

Doing what i love

I don't know how you spend your free time, but i love using mine to express my creativity. I feel like during the school year my creative juices are all bottled up and pushed aside. When summer break comes along the creativity flows freely. It also helps that my mind is clear and i have all the time i need to solely devote to one thing. Yesterday i spent hours collage-ing in my little nook. I searched the pages of several magazines looking for just the right images and colors. I cut out the images and would arrange them. Then i would rearrange them until they fit with how i planned. For some people this process would be a hassle, frustrating, purposeless, but for me it is fun, enjoyable, and meaningful. Making collages is my favorite type of art. You get to take other peoples work and create it into your own. It becomes a new piece of art. Yesterdays creative session resulted in a mod podged notebook. Possibly my favorite of all of the ones I've done.

I know this has nothing to do with clothes or fashion but it has everything to do with what i love. I thought i would share that little part of my life.
