April Favorites

I follow a decent amount of fashion/beauty oriented girls on youtube and I find that they often do a video at the end of each month saying the things they really loved that month. Since I am not a youtuber (yet), I thought I would incorporate the idea into my new blog instead. Here are some of my favorites from April:

I've been really loving these three songs from Aphex Twin. Yes, only three songs, not an entire album, although they are all from the same album. The first song is Finger Bib. I was scrolling through tumblr one night and it popped up on my feed. I wasn't listening to anything at the moment so I clicked play and I immediately fell in love and listened to it for two days straight. This song makes me feel both sad and happy. The second song is Cornish Acid. I haven't been listening to this song as frequently but I really like the way it sounds. It makes me want to dance, mostly, but also makes me feel a bit nervous. The final song, that I have been obsessed with these past two days is 4. It makes me feel hopeful, like when you come out of a bad place in your life and you are finally feeling hopeful for the first time in a long time. Here it is (don't let the creepy face deter you from listening to this beautiful song):

Earlier this month I was on the hunt for some new boots (looking for boots in April, ridiculous, I know). I had been receiving a lot of emails from this website www.urbanog.com and I decided to look there for some new boots. I was thrilled to see so many beautiful shoes and after a few days trying to decide which ones to order, I settled on these:

They are absolutely perfect and I have been wearing them to death. Can I just say how impressed I am with Urbanog? They are always having amazing sales and discounts and they have beautiful shoes that are not ridiculously expensive. And, no, they aren't even paying me or sending me free stuff for this! I was just really impressed with their website and wanted to share!

I have also been obsessed with Cadbury Creme Eggs. Why don't they sell these things any time other than Easter? Admittedly, I went to the store the day after Easter and bought about six Cadbury Creme Eggs on top of the five or so I had already gotten for Easter. Maybe I am a bit more than obsessed...

Finally, this beautiful picture of Dita Von Teese that I found on tumblr. 

She is so glamorous. I only wish I could be 1/4 as glamorous as she is. Give me all the (faux) fur in the world please!!

Sorry this was a bit short and lacking photos, I'm new to this!! But hopefully you enjoyed this anyway (not that anyone is reading this yet though haha). 

First of Many

I often find myself reminiscing about being sixteen. Sixteen was a good age for me. I was finally beginning to heal from a bad experience in my life and I was throwing myself into life more than I had ever done before (or have really done since). I had a blog on a website called piczo, which has since shut down, but I actively wrote and uploaded pictures to that blog and I even had quite a bit of followers! I was also taking a lot more pictures of myself and the things around me (and not just with an iphone either). I experimented with my clothing more and it was the first time a boy had ever expressed interest in me and I was entirely wrapped up in it. Although I had plenty of bad times while I was sixteen, I was also doing so many different things, from being creative in ways I am usually not to experiencing new things (such as boys). I often wish I could go back to being that way again. I want to find myself again because so often these days I feel lost, which I guess is normal for 20-somethings, but I still often find myself looking at other people's lives and feeling like mine is so vastly different in all the wrong ways.

I guess you could say this blog is an attempt to find myself again. A big part of my life when I was sixteen was that piczo blog and I guess I am hoping by creating this (and maybe sticking to it this time) I will rediscover parts of me that I have lost or maybe I will discover parts of me I have not yet found.

Let's get started then.
