First Day
August 26, 2013
Today is my last day in KC, and I feel pretty bittersweet about it. On one hand I have been anxiously waiting for college since my first day of senior year, and on another I am having mixed feelings about leaving. Yesterday I said goodbye to a job I had been at for 3 & 1/2 years, like WHAT? I'm surprised I didn't cry with the amount of goodbyes I said.
I spent my last day running around doing errands and stopped by my favourite salon ever Paisley & Stripe to get a fresh look for school tomorrow. I wanted to try something that I've never done before so I showed Alex a bunch of inspiration pictures, and we decided on a more straightforward long look with one set length, more manageable layers, and why the hell not a middle part option. I had a great time laughing with everyone at P&S and it was pretty sad to give Alex a hug and say goodbye to the salon until Christmas. I was set on wearing all black today (as usual) but since it's 90 degrees I wore a blouse from a thrift shop, skirt from Love Culture, Steve Madden sandals, and I have For Audrey by Chinaglaze on my toes. Most of my clothes are jam packed into two huge boxes it's quite depressing actually. On a good note, I bought a sick pair of Tommy Hilfiger loafers. (Never thought I'd say that) Wish me luck!

Is it crazy that it's the middle of August already? I move into my dorm a week from now and I have practically rounded everything up I need to make my dorm "livable." Which means making it as personalized as possible. All around this summer has been way too good to me and I am sad to see it ending soon. On the other hand, like most fall lovers I am sick of wearing shorts and want to wear a coat again. Which is why I insist on wearing jeans all the time now. Last week my dear friend Katie from Bello Foto took some shots of me again =) We spent the afternoon thrift shopping while Katie sang me the Dream Girls Soundtrack (on key of course), we rated clothes based on the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and I laughed at her silliness. We also grabbed some cheesecake and I ventured to try Dulce de Leche. Wasn't quite up my alley but hey I'm all for trying new things.
I decided to wear a sheer black blouse from Forever 21 that is sort of hi-lo with jeans from Urban Outfitters, Steve Madden flats, my calculator watch from Target, and a flamingo fedora from Aldo. I ran into this hat, and intentionally thought I didn't need it, but I went back for it because I couldn't bear regretting not getting it. I am going to Florida in a little less than a month and I desperately wanted a hat to rock everywhere. After sorting through many flea market booths in NYC and finding nothing this hat was a good pick me up. I highly suggest finding a hat that encompasses you for summer. For me a backwards fedora with flamingos compliments me pretty well. It was 90 degrees outside when Katie and I shot, the summer makes it very hard to be goth, but I do what I can. Thinking of goth probz if I had a book I'd probably title it, "It's Hard to Be Goth in the Summer." Thanks again to Katie for taking these gnar shots! Can't believe the next time I'll be seeing her is during Thanksgiving hopefully! My nails are Orly Smart Gels in Haute Red. I'm on that gel nail lifestyle flow now.

I found myself chanting, "I got soul but I'm not a soldier" over and over again at the Killers concert in the heart of Bonner Springs last night.
I've always wanted to do a photo shoot in a library, is that weird? I think it's a mix between rebellion and nerdiness which is pretty much epitome of who I am. So when my homegirl Katie owner of Fawn Doe & Bello Foto asked me where I wanted to shoot I said, “A LIBRARY" in a heartbeat, so there we went. Our shoot consisted of way too many laughs and constant paranoia that a librarian would kick us out but luckily to our surprise no one did. We also shot outside and while laying on the ground I saw the moon through the clouds, that's why I named the title of this post, "Katie I Can See The Moon." Mainly because I kept saying it to her through many laughs. Katie is so incredibly talented and I am lucky to call her a close friend of mine. Unfortunately the University of Michigan will be snatching her away from me pretty soon, but we're gonna make the best out of the rest of the summer!
I am wearing a Josephine Collective shirt, Village Collection shorts, black oxfords, and these FLY Betsey Johnson sunglasses I seemed to hide from myself for 2 months. I'm going to have such a hard time giving up shorts when summer is over, but I am in love with these maroon shorts from Village they are so unique. Do you like this nail polish? It's like having macaroni & cheese straight on my nails I am wearing Nails Inc. Neons in Westbourne Grove. I love, love, love these photos that Katie took so much ='( Thanks again love
