hey all!

for the first time ever, i missed a blog post. ngl it feels totally weird but i am trying to tell myself that its okay but it feels like a huge downward spiral, because i want my blog to be around as much as possible. i have been totally busy worrying about school, college, life and more! but pinterest has been super cool for calming stuff.

so i put together a little post of my favorite pictures of dogs from my favorite pinterest board.

follow my board dogs for dogs on your feed all the time:

here we go!

hey all!

its 2/18/18!!

i’ve been totally busy and that is why this post is up so late! i didn’t really know what to write, but hey i decided i haven’t gone the personal route in awhile and i really wanted to catch up with you guys on my whole journey as a SECOND SEMESTER SENIOR (oh my god, still can’t get over all of this) so here we go!!

i have been getting alot of things together in my personal life and sorta starting to get wrapped up/organized for my big move to college (which i haven’t decided quite yet on, i am still thinking/waiting and making personal decisions regarding that) and honestly, at this point all of that is starting by organizing the things that i have and tossing the things that a) i don’t need or b) i’ve grown out of or c) are just trash and its been a ton of realizing for me, and teaching myself how to organize as an adult (woah kate, don’t get too far ahead of yourself you are 2.5 months away from being 18) but my school is ~lowkey~ bombarding the senior with the fact that we WILL BE (more or less) living on our own in like 6-7 months!!

with all of this self-actualizing, there have been a few things to destress #1. eat candy (which i know can’t do because i gave up candy for lent #rip)!! #2. go on pinterest and #3. work out. the third is what has been helping me a lot after school and getting focused in on the important stuff!

but stress has been something which feels really debilitating lately because i haven’t really wanted to go to school because i know i will be more stressed out, either my school (they are trying to help, i know i know!!) or my classes (with more work, especially philosophy, that class is just HARD because its a TON of brain power which i don’t feel always so confident with during the week). but its sorta hard to get motivated because all i want to do is sleep all the time and watch netflix but i need to get school work done, artwork done, focus on summer job plans and clean my room (guys its bad, real bad). i can’t feel anything but helpless about the whole thing, like there is ALWAYS something to do, even when i get home so i go down to relax but no way, i have homework which i end up putting off for a few hours to either make dinner or just sit in my bed wondering when i am gonna start my homework.

honestly, this sounds terrible, but i have also found it really difficult to blog lately, not because i feel like i don’t have ideas (because i do!) but i feel like i haven’t grown, and i see all of these people out here hustlin’, blogging as a full time job and i just think, god i do not have enough time/energy/motivation/money/body confidence to blog as much as i do. and i care SO MUCH about my blog – and my content that i want it to look great, and be growing but it feels like every time i work hard enough i am not moving as fast as i would like to, but hey its life.

i will continue making beautiful content for all that are here, and everyone else who may be here soon.

thank you all for sticking with me through all of this, and feel free to comment any reactions down below!

hey all!

sorry there was a *false alarm earlier today, this posted without any words because i forgot to save it! but anyway! because it already feels like it should be spring here ( i mean its been like 80 degrees here and its DYING) so i feel like i need to start getting into my spring looks now at least after valentines day so i can get started for this season!

once again, a note to all my readers – this post does not mean i own any of the above, or that i will buy any of the above. it just means that i like it visually and (unless noted) i do not own it; all that i will write about is stuff i hear from friends and other users of the product as well as the visual aspects of the product which i will mention in the comment below!

so here we go!

/bodysuit/  topshop ring pull bodysuit  /skirt/ denim belted skirt /sneakers/ nike air force 1 ’07 sneaker /belt bag/ gucci matelasse belt bag /earrings/ edwardian ear crawlers /other/ tortoise hair clamp 

here’s a cute little street style look. i love hair clamps, and they are super in right now, i especially love tortoise (always) because it looks great in my hair! i also am in love with this bodysuit for a transition from winter into spring because its long sleeve but is a light fabric and can be paired with a really cute bralette and unzipped or just under a nice leather moto. this is a super unique looking skirt, its a darker jean fabric which is great for the season transition, not trying to get too light too soon. i LOVE these nikes, i want them so bad but i am highkey afraid i can’t pull them off, i love the little touches of red and are super cute with these sheer socks with the stars. i also love the look of belt bags rn, and i wish i could have this red gucci one, but its a little over my price point (i also love this one its a little faux gucci style) and finally these edwardian ear crawlers are fantastic and my other favorite earrings besides my hoops.

this look would be a perfect brunch look and awesome for any casual event

hey all!

january is one day from being over. what? how? i can’t believe it! so i am gonna do a month in review every month with photos from my phone that i found that i thought would be interesting for you guys to see.

here we go!

from the beginning of the year:

i told y’all that i was volunteering with the tournament of roses, and i was able to go to the VIP tailgate for the rose bowl game. it was super cool, i got to eat my heart out and take this really cool 180 photo! i also worked of course but it was so fun!

i made a bomb charcuterie board. i even wrote a post about what i use in my board YOU CAN READ IT HERE and i just treat-ed my self which was highkey awesome because i have been running and or walking every day and trying to stay healthier than i have been.

in my getting healthier i have been trying new healthy foods, walking more (and running y’all) and continuing to eat foods that are interesting but also eating my favorite foods (like ice cream) because of i, high key love, it SO much!

it was my sister’s 20th birthday on the 20th so i shared this old photo of us two because its super cute and old!

i also got honored by the our lady of the angel cathedral in los angeles for my artwork. it will be up for awhile, so if you feel so inclined you may go see it while i am being honored! i made the top one with all the writing, and it says “be who god meant you to be and you will set the world on fire” which is my favorite quote from st. catherine of siena.

other than that, this month was filled with good eats, good exercise, and a good attitude as i started my FINAL SEMESTER of high school (wow its so weird to think i am already a second-semester senior!).

have a great day all – and tell me how your january was in the comment section down below!

xoxo
