So today has been super productive and fulfilling in sort of an existential way, and I'm feeling really content about things. I just scheduled classes for my first semester for my sophomore year, lots of philosophy. So much brain candy! Anddd I finally made some stuff happen when I was being really crafty and inventive. Really excited.
VVV
Head scarves were my favorite, absolute favorite trend last year, but I've always had SUCH a hard time trying to pull it off. I have a tiny head and absolutely the only things I could use were bandanas and this one childish tie dye scarf (Ala Limited Too) lying around my room from ten million years ago. I didn't want to look like I was a 10-year old playing hippy for dress up, nor was I super into just rocking a boring old bandana. I mean, honestly, there are just so many things I want to avoid while rocking the headscarf. I don't want it to look like a headband or a hijab or a cowgirl bandana.... It's just not my personal preference... But today! I perfected it! I had an old half of a cut-up Old Navy graphic tee-shirt lying around and I thought, hey, there's hardly any fabric here, maybe I should try to squeeze it around my little head. And it worked! This look is absolutely everything I could ask for: edgy yet feminine, artistic, bohemian, and not too pin-up-girl. I don't really see the appeal of them pin-up look 100%. It's nice but not my favorite type of retro get-up.
ALSO!
My favorite quirky little make-up trend EVER is the dots under the eyes! Somehow both sophisticated and fun... and friendly. It would work for any style and still be cute as hell. Or hellish. It would compliment a very punky very well. Where did it even come from? It seems very burlesque. -Or victorian? Don't mimes wear those? Except they wear triangles? Either way, it only increases my admiration for this little artistic touch to eye-makeup. So simple yet so dramatic!!! *swoons*

Nailz
I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but I'm quite a nail stylist. I'm thinking about starting my own manicurist business sometime soon just so I can make some money and do what a love, 'cause this is my art.
& Today I decided to do something even more arty (kinda dada inspired)
The colors in this pic really don't do justice to how cool they look in real life... Very sparkly and eccentric, kooky and a lil bit glam. I lovvvee them :) They say "&3}" and "awe". I meant it as in "shock and awe", not as in "awe, that's too bad", justifiably.
