It's almost friday! Thank god. Today has been quite interesting. I had to file my first abuse claim to etsy today. Im not one to leave negative feedback or lash back at people, but this was getting out of hand! I purchased an item back in early december and still have not recieved it. (I KNOW!) and now he refuses to give me my money back or send me the item. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE MAN. It seriously made me not want to shop online! But, I quickly overcame that and bought this awesome bottle opener keychain from Kate Black!

(I purchased the lime green one)
She's got some amazing stuff and I know that if im not careful, I could easily get carried away on a shopping extravaganza.
Tomorrow is payday and it couldnt have come at a better time! YAY! MONEY!

Pointless 3/19/08

Sales on etsy have been dreadfully slow. Ive been contemplating launching my own site seperate from etsy, and while this may take a while to complete... I still think it could only improve sales...right?!

Nothing too exciting to report for now, Im sorry. Tomorrow I have class bright and early! I've got multiple pictures to develop too. I will surely amuse you then.
:D


goodnight.

I'm great at counting money, making change, balancing a check book.
It's Easy stuff.
But place me in an algebra class for thirty minutes with a board full of numbers and letters with a monotone math professor attempting to explain them... and I'm contemplating how I might look in 15 years and thinking about all the things I need to get done.
Yes, I'm terrible in math. Its not that I truly don't get the math (okay...it might be that too) but I just don't understand the use for it AT ALL in an art major's career. I'm sure I'm not the first to complain about this, in fact- my best friend is in culinary school and has to take it too...and she isn't very excited about it either. But seriously, its a waste of money and time and I couldn't feel more passionately about something. I'm not sure how many times I will fail this class (so far only once) but lets hope I get done with this soon. :)

Today I will attempt to list a few more items in my shop. With the spring weather hitting us, (at least here in cali) i'm excited to add some more funky dresses, slouch hats, novelty tees and crop sweaters. So be on the lookout! Also, lately I've received numerous requests for different items.. So if you are looking for specific type of item let me know and I will keep an eye out for it.
I will be stopping by the thrift store today to see if I find any goodies. :)
Wish me luck!

So.. we had the photoshoot!
We've got a ton of cute new pieces! Im pretty excited to list them all, but with work at 4am tomorrow, I have to call it an early night!
So here is a sneak peek at some of the items that we shot today, and check out the store for just a few items I had time to list!
~Happy st. patrick's day!~

The weather has been so beautiful lately.
Last night it was supposed to rain, that lasted about 10minutes.
The rest of the night was just cold, windy and the occasional flash of lightening.
I enjoyed it a lot.
My boyfriend and I are in the process of trying new things (its an '08 thing). So we went to a restaurant we've never been to- Avila's El Ranchito. It was terrible, to say the least. :|
The food was bland, and last time I checked... mexican food should never be boring.
Oh well. We made the best of our night.
After we went to one of my favorite places in the world.. an old home that has been turned into a tea house in downtown fullerton. Its an adorable little cafe styled shop with an art gallery upstairs and mixed matched furniture throughout the house and backyard. They have board games and blankets on hand and it couldnt be cuter! So my boyfriend and I sat and had some yooja tea (lemon drop)and played connect four and hungout for about an hour. It was tons of fun! Afterward, we drove around hitting up a few stores in the endless search for a Wii. In last attempts we stopped by the neighboring walmart. To our suprise, they told us that they did recieve 9 wii's in that evenings shipment but couldn't sell them until 8am the following day! So this morning my dad stood in line at 7am to get one! :D
It is the best game console in the world! I love to wii bowl! (please note: I hate bowling in real life. haha) Ive never been much of a 'gamer' but this most definately will change that. :D


Today, the clouds were big, puffy and bright white! The contrast was magnificent against the bright blue skies. I want to go outside and take endless pictures of the sky, but Ive got too many plans for my day.
OH! I got an Ipod shuffle yesterday! I just decided on a whim I wanted one, in hopes it will be inspiration to excercise more and maybe start pilates?!

It's the greenish teal one. Its super adorable, and I dont know why I didnt get one sooner.
I dyed my hair the other night too.
It's jet black! I went super dark because I swim laps about 4-5 times a week and I know the chlorene will eat a lot of the color out.. but I still wanted to have all one color.
What do you think!?



Well, Ive got lots of stuff to do--errands to run and such. Ill write soon.

Well, Well.
Today was a rather fun day. I went down to Newport Beach for an afternoon estate sale. It was hectic, and although I didnt find any vintage clothes- I found some super fun sunglasses, pins and pendants! (ive got pictures!) I will be adding stuff to my store tonight.. PROMISE! haha
While at the estate sale, some lady tried to make light conversation with me while waiting in line (which seemed to last forever)and she brought up how she too sold vintage clothing and accessories online! For some reason, I instantly felt threatened and exposed. It was weird. I felt as if I wanted to scream; "This is my territory!" and then sit for hours justifying it. It was really really weird and awkward. We obviously had very different senses of style but it still wasnt very comforting. It definitely made waiting in line--that much harder.
Post estate sale shopping, I hit a few thrift stores on the way home. Not too much luck there. I found a nice head scarf and belt for myself (woo! me!) but nothing to sell. Im going to dye my hair tonight! Im super excited! I have had this, what I like to call, Orange Sherbert chunk in my hair for too long. I bought black.. but it fades nicely to a deep dark brown! It'll be refreshing! This sunday I scheduled a photoshoot with lovely model miss mona! She is getting her hair cut (once again) tomorrow. Its going to be adorable, as always.
Ive still got loads of math homework to do before tuesday. Ive got to get it started!
eeek.

(This is not everything I got--oh! &I accept DIBS!)

awesome glasses with low strength magnification


ADORABLE sparrow pin


Wicked Eye Pin


BOSS Vintage Shades

I find myself sitting in front of my computer screen once again. I swear, if only etsy could pay all my bills- I would do this allllll day. Once I have listed a few items (currently doing so) I will head over to the neighboring goodwill. Im in the mood for finding some treasures! :] (warning: THIS MOOD IS ADDICTING) I buy so much for my Vintage store, that I never seem to update my own wardrobe. Dont worry- (bc I know you are) I will be embarking on an adventure shortly, to fulfill all my shopping desires. Afterward, I think I will go to the gym since its been a few days since Ive gone. (Ive been busy and sick...excuses excuses) I will be sure to update you upon my arrival with good (or bad) news about the night!

Happy Thursday!

Well,
I have completely redesigned the blog. I didnt like the black anymore. I wanted something more simple and casual. I was trying to come up with an explanation as to the type of style I find myself influenced by lately, sort of.. The Outsider's-esque but the only words coming to mind are: laconic.
See also: natural.
See also: post-punk late '70s

Daisies, the color white, high tops and tank tops. Spring is here, with summer around the corner. Let's let it all unfold organically--clowning around encouraged.

So my film camera stopped working.. which sucked. So I decided to go to the camera store to figure out why... left the store about $150 later with a new camera.
I WAS PISSED!
I wasnt expecting to buy a new camera! Im not even in the greatest position to be doing that... but I have a photo assignment due tomorrow... and I HAVE to.
:(


This seriously put a damper on my day/expenses.

oh! and I wasnt feeling well this morning and contemplated taking some airbourne when I remembered this. Figures...

These past few days have been QUITE long.
Work, school, homework, ETC!

Today I helped out with an organization called; "Starlight Foundations". They basically are a support group for children with cancer or other similar life altering diseases and illnesses. It was a really cool and fun event and I met a lot of really nice Disney Actors and Actresses and as well as movie actors and actresses. (including the ADORABLE Dakota Fanning) It was a fun day! Lots of really nice and genuine people, which is always a great reminder when you tend to always be surrounded by precaffinated people at 4 in the morning. haha!
Tonight im going to try and list a few items in my store! IVE GOT TO GET THAT FINISHED!! Oh! I also listed a pair of Vintage 1980s Original Ray Ban Wayfarers on Ebay! So, if you are interested... take a look here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200206362571&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=010

We have had some amazing times!

I feel like I got a lot done today, although... nowhere near enough.
I was offered a job for an advertising company as a student web designer this summer.
Im pretty excited, and Im sure the pay would be great.

OH!
Come this thursday, we will have tons more vintage in store!
I AM SO EXCITED!
Ive listed a few items today, not as many as I would like- but still some none-the-less.

I hope your sunday was as eventful as mine was.
