SHARK WEEK

Uh. I don't know what my hair is doing. Ew? EMO-BOY-EW?

Above, sweater: Old Navy kids. White: Target. T-shirt: Hot Topic. Skirt: secondhand, gift. Tights: BP Nordstrom. Shoes: Steve Madden via Ross.

Anyway, I declared this week SHARK WEEK HARRY POTTER WEEK for my wardrobe in anticipation of the sixth movie.

Also, I like sparklies.

Also, this is shameful but I have yet to see the movie. This will be changed later tonight. In the meantime, I have to finish Half-Blood Prince and study for my midterm. Timing fail.

naturally

Above, sweater: grandmother's. Necklace: Urban Outfitters, gift. Thermal you can barely see: JC Penney. Outerwear: mother's. Jeans: Levi's via Costco + DIY. Shoes: Payless.

Was feeling uncharacteristically somber (color-wise). Watched the beginning of the Japanese version of One Missed Call and ate too much hummus, pineapple fried rice, Cheeto Puffs, etc. with some epic theater kids.

things I forget

1) Gray is not just a matrix of scattered black dots.

2) Life is fragile.

That was a few days ago. I am sad to say that only four out of six parts of Eugenia (this sounds so wrong) are still living, the budding flower pictured above has withered, and aphids are wreaking havoc. I think everyone should grow plants (before they have babies) so they remember how easily things die. Eugenia has been transplanted into four separate little pots currently residing in my backyard (as of fifteen minutes ago). I hope she can brave the elements, but at least now she has room to grow. (It was really sad, pulling out the little dirt clods and seeing how the roots were growing into a rectangular block, cramped as they were.)

Another thing I forget is that seeing things grow is really exciting.

...GO, EUGENIA, GO!

alchemy

Empty greasy balm + (Wet 'n' Wild + Burt's Bee's) = much easier application of hot pink lippie, now with extra grease (this is a good thing for such a strong color)

Empty Burt's Bee's pot + Aquaphor + nude Sephora lipstick + strawberry juice + cherry juice = FAILURE

It was re-a-lly disgusting.

See the fruit juice percolating at the surface? I also didn't take into account the fact that cherry juice darkens over time. I should've used beets. Applied, it looked like... a nude lip but extra fruity.

ABOVE FAILURE + Benefit's Bahama Mama + Wet 'n' Wild in Blackberry = meh

The texture still leaves a whole world to be desired (there are pockets of fruit juice which burst and bubble to the surface if punctured), and the color's pretty boring, but at least it's not oozing anymore.

...right?

it's sucking the marrow from my bones

I have a new favorite pair of tights. From H&M, $1. They are shiny and not sheer. Have a backseam. Reinforced toe. And are the perfect color to replace my old stretched-out ones.
