Colors Lines and Form

A small while ago I went to the LACMA art museum for the first time! I always loved art museums...ever since I was always taken to them on rainy days...I used to love Degas so much...I thought the graceful ballerinas were so inspiring! I love the peaceful space of museums and the idea of a place that celebrates beauty...and they often have great cafes! Nowadays some of my favorite tyoes of art are: illustration, pop surrealism, definately impressionism ( I dislike art with too many dark primaries), traditional paintings of fabulous Marie Antoinette style dresses, and art that uses lots of light and space. What's your favorite style of art? 

These lightpoles were so fun to take pics with! So many other people were as well!

The hot and clear blue sky

I really liked how full of design the museum itself was! This is part of a spidery sculpture of black beams

From the amazing cafe...a moonpie! I most liked the brioche though, and they have amazing natural fruit sodas.

Spaghetti! Kids and older folks alike loved it! It was actually a total highlight, but the plastic was shockingly hard and fealt a bit like it was slapping you as you walked through!

Fun selfie! 

This guy walked into my shot, but I think he made it better...this looks somehow symbolic...

There were so many delicious trucks and everyone looked so stylish!

Metropolis... It features whizzing cars that toddlers seemed transfixed by

My purchase from the very nice store! i-D magazine! With amazing Tavi and Petra Collins( who liked the photo on instagram!!!) 

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu! She always inspires me to be as cute as can be! I love the kawaii japanese aesthetic so much!

Lovely~

I wish I could have taken pics of my favorite works but I always hate when people do that and get a bit in the way! It was really relaxing though and I saw a lot of great work...new artists, Van Gogh, and also some skillful classics! I hope you'll have a nice and inspired day~

Let's go down to the flea market 

Went o the flea market! Sorry for not posting in awhile! I really hope that I can improve this blog even more and put more interesting posts~ I've been busy crafting haha! So many projects...yet I still don't feel like doing anything...So it was an early, cool day when I was taking these pics but later as the shopping proceeded it began to SWELTER! 

Jesus...there were quite a few Jesus portraits...

How hipster

Ughh me....

Dress: Buffalo Exchange

Socks: American Apparel

Shoes: f21

Love the vintage look and all the pattern!

One of my purchases for 1 dollar

I hope you have a good day and happy searching if you go to a flea market yourself~

Stripes and Sunshine

Hello again! I haven't posted quite do recently as I've been working on some art, like making inked watercolor designs, which I might post later, as well as reading... I finished Insurgent, and though I wasn't wowed much by Divergent, this one had a plot twist that was really original! So now I've gotten Allegiant and we shall see what I think of the series as a whole. Today after yoga...which is basically the only sort of exercise I'm interested in.. I'm not a sports person, I went up to a room in my building that has some nice open windows that let in streams of light...I think it was quite good for photos. 

*squints at the sun*

My outfit:

Top- a sort of cotton-y, linen-y shirt from a French lady's clothing stand...funnily, a woman who designed sweaters remarked to me how much she liked the cut and design...as do I! 

Shorts- Forever 21...so soft and easy for lounging about with a cute slouchy cut

Belt- Genius Outfitters

Cardigan- Gap... I've been layering this thing with everything basically

Flats: Old Navy

Headband- Claire's

Leggings- some random mini Macy's in a Maui hotel...

Awkward selfie

I've done a small diy, btw...repainting an old bulletin board of mine for a classier look

Ultrecht acrylic paint from Blick, layered practically 100(not really) times on the cork

Look, much better...a bit of the blue shines through and it looks a little shabby-chic

I hope you have a good day :)

Waiting for the Mountains to Fall

 I went to the Twilight Concert Series at the Santa Monica pier! It was pretty nice, though kinda chilly and there were tons of people picnicking and whatnot. The performer was Yuna, a really good Malaysian singer! She seemed really nice, thought he stage was far. She makes a lot of floaty hand gestures~ she actually asked if it was alright for her to sing more! and said things like "Perfect!". It was nice to go, but with the crowd being people standing still or lovey dovey couples, my mom and I ended up leaving a bit later on...it was quite dark out and it was a casual beach concert. However, Yuna's singing voice was as lovely and strong as in the recordings! The post title is a song lyric from the song Mountains, by her. I did get some nice pictures, btw, which I thought looked very summery. In fact the beach was gorgeous. While the sun was setting, the sand around the pier billowed up and glowed and the sand on the ground was riddled with canyon-like indentations from feet that gave off shadows, while at night, the Ferris wheel glowed! I couldn't get any photos of Yuna though with he glaring lights, and the video was too big to send from my phone.

The sky 

Twilight Concert stage

My tights from Asos and the pier floorboards...watch out for splinters

Accidental photo, but still nice, I think

Me making a weird face featuring panda eyes, haha!

                 I hope things are still summery for you~

New Things

Wow that was a terrible title...please bear with me! But it's appropriate as I have, one, gotten a new haircut, and two, a new phone! I got an HTC One....previously I've been using a little "dinosaur" as others have called it.... One of those flippy phones with actual button...*gasp!* It was a fine phone, but I was due for an update, and my Nikon coolpix has been an absolute chickenbutt when it comes to focussing...and this phone is known to have an incredible camera function, which the pictures below can demonstrate. As for my haircut, I went to the amazing training salon for Toni and Guy, and got a super fun and cheap haircut. The people were really nice there, too. Later on I'm going back for a dip dye(peachy pink)but for now I got an inverted curly bob! So different!

so short! Also, a new shirt from Ann Taylor Loft. This photo is also my new blog bio photo

This was a camera test....I just took a little photo of a tree in the lot of an oil-change shop....you know,      for cars...check out the Instagram worthy filter!

Adorable "spa water"...cucumber, mint, lemon....go try it~

The back is so curly! P.S. I didn't dye my hair darker, it's just wet

Organic berries from a market...with fresh homemade whipped cream! I drew on it with the phone's "draw" function

An outfit photo from a few days ago...super light dress from a shop on Abbot Kinney...16 dollars! Reminds me of Scandinavia...also a little necklace with a stylized "E" from a friend!

One of my many tea mugs...a little guy from Hakubondo, a Japanese book shop

Another photo of the dress. The top is a thin material and the skirt is actually two light layers of presumably, linen

Lastly, candy....I love strawberry puffs!

Have a lovely Summer day, I hope!

Red, White, and Blue

Well now, this post has very little to do with the 4th of July, which by the title, you might assume. On that day(America's b-day) I literally just ate ice cream, saw an funny little parade at 9 AM, and talked to friends. But, this post has been so named, for color scheme!

These strawberries(aka best fruit ever) were so sweet~

My patriotic outfit....those f21 dungarees I keep wearing, and a tee that says "history" from a stand...it has a sparkly eagle!

See what I mean with the red, white, and blue? Drinkin ' a Pepsi~

More berries! Strawberries are such a summer fruit!

Coke or Pepsi ya'll...today it's a Pepsi...

Hope you liked the pictures! Have a relaxing day, ideally....
