Stuff Lately // Early Fall

   Hey!

   Youse guys! It's faaaaaallllllllll!!! Yeah man, that Autumn Equinox business went down a week or so ago, and I've been craycray about the season's changing ever since August, so you can only imagine how many scented candles I've bought and pumpkin-flavored things I've failed at baking.
  Anyway, it's been a while since my last SL, so this one covers everything from then to yesterday.  P.S. Sorry the quality is a bit disgusting grainy, I was trying a new software and it failed to deliver that high standard you just expect from me (hardeeharhar).
.S.S. I'm officially obsessed with making collages ok.

 Watching: DEXTER COMES ON TONIGHT!! I urge you strongly to watch it. What else? Well, pretty much every fall show premiered last week/will premiere soon, so the ones I set my DVR are Mike & Molly, 2 Broke Girls, New Girl, The Mindy Project, Modern Family, The Middle, Elementary, The Big Bang Theory, Copper, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Vampire Diaries. You can bet that I forgot many of them. Yeah I watch a lot of TV ok leave me alone

 Reading: a banned book for English. I haven't picked one out yet, but it'll be banned, and it'll be a book. You can count on it.

 Eating: Everything pumpkin-flavored. The end.

 Doing: Going to Hastings today to rent all the Freaks & Geeks and a Peter O'Toole movie, then seeing Hotel Translyvania. Tomorrow is ortho then the zoo to see a baby giraffe. Thug life.

 Listening: to a lot of Ingrid Michaelson, for whatever reason. And Mumford & Sons of course!! Honestly though, I'm kind of let down with their new album. Obviously it's gorgeous and perfect but it's just so hopeful. I miss the depressed, angry guys! Oh well. I guess you can't be unhappy forever. :)

 Buying: Flannel from Target! It's all so nice and fall-y and cute! Also, Ulta recently had 40% off my favorite brands so I stocked up.

 Oh, And Also: I won't be doing a "September in Review" kind of deal, but my favorite posts this month are What's in my Jansport Pocket and My Everyday Make-up Routine & Make-up Tips.

 Fall-y Stuff

 From left to right: 1) Pumpkin whoopie pies; 2) kitty-carved pumpkin (Pumpkitty? Catkin? Name undecided.); 3) a bunch of cool Halloween stuff at Tarjaaaaay; 4) tried/failed painting sugar-skull style (points for alliteration though)

    Other Stuff

   From top to bottom, left to right: 1) Katy Perry movie! (if you preordered on Walmart you got an autograph too. so you already know that's what I did); 2) my Latin class project-- basically we do whatever Greek/Roman-related we want, so I attempted sculpting the Greek Mask of Comedy out of Model Magic. My sculpting skills aren't what they've never been; 3) Ulta stuff; 4) my dream car!! a Volkswagon Cabriolet! except they're all manual and that's just like impossible for me so all I can do is admire from afar; 5) LOOK AT THIS HARAJUKU MINI SWEATER OMG OMG 1920'S GIRLS YOU GUYS; 7) Shipley's Donuts is an apparently-famous little joint we found one day while thrifting far away, yummmmm!; 8) Andy Warhol soup cans, you know how I do; 9) Tim Gunn designs for Barbies you guys.; 10) good shoes make for good times (quote me ok)

 
  What've you been up to?

Hello September

 Hey!

 

via

  You guuuuuyyysssss it's September!! Before we start celebrating this early-fall month, please notice how I didn't quote a certain Green Day song in the title. Noticed? Okay. Let's keep going. So, September! Yay! July is summer, August is still summery, September is early fall! I can now burn my pumpkin candles and get excited for Halloween! (It's never to early for the best holiday okay?) Here's five things I'm looking forward to (besides this three day weekend!) this month!

 

 September 1st :: the new Doctor Who season premieres tonight!!

   Note: if you watch the show (don't blink!), you should know Amy and Rory depart permanently around the Christmas episode. The producer guy said not everyone "makes it out alive", so I'll probably stop watching the show forever right before that episode, due to my inability to accept change. Also, if you don't watch it, you should. The first episode sucks but the rest are amazing! :)

 

September 21st ::  The Perks of Being a Wallflower movie is released!

  ... in select theaters. :(

 

   September 24th :: NEW MUMFORD & SONS ALBUM!!

 

  September 25th :: the show New Girl returns!

 

  September 28th:: Hotel Translyvania hits theaters!

 

 

 Those are just a few of the things I can't wait for this month. What's September got in store for you?

Stuff Lately // 8.26.12

 Hello!

N'SYNC dolls at the thrift store. I wanted Justin but if I bought one I couldn't just not buy the rest.

   If you've been a regular reader during the summer months, you'll notice I've seriously slowed down posting since that easy livin', warm weathern' time. This is just due to lack of time. So no worries, I'll still be posting a lot, just not everyday. I mean, where else will I post my sweater and pumpkin-scented candle emotions this fall? Like, duh.
 Anyway, here's some stuff that I've been into/doing since those lost days of summer.

 Watching: I just watched last week's Copper on BBC America; not too bad so far. Finally watched Midnight in Paris last night!! Serious wanderlust. :( Oh, and Perks of Being a Wallflower and Hotel Transylvania look like the best movies of the season, caaaaannn't waaaaait!! They're out in September.

 Reading: Troy by Adele Geras; Masquerade by Walter Satterthwait (I just found out it's a freaking sequel, but I already started reading it, so.)

 Eating: IHOP has Red Velvet Pancakes now. You can bet your buttons I went as soon as I found out.

Doing: Taking care of Walton. Remember? My baby cactus has been losing its baby leaves (what are they called?), so I've been watching him very carefully. Also: thrifting!! First few times since December; it's good to be back! haha. Oh, and I've set up a mini art wall above my TV!! I'll post print/picture details in an upcoming post (full of Etsy art I wish I had. holla.)

 Listening: "First Day of My Life' by Bright Eyes is freaking fire. And 'Skinny Love" by Bon Iver, man. Oh, and "100 Years" by Five for Fighting may not be the newest song ever but I've just started listening to it obsessively and it makes my heart hurt.

 Buying: This exact scarf from Target (omg it's called menswear inspired why do I always love boy things omg). It's so cute and I found all these new (to me) ways to wear it! Yaay!! Oh, also: Booties! I finally picked up a precious pair of booties at this store A'gaci (if you look it up, note: I don't usually shop there, but it was by F21 so I figured I'd run in and see if they had any cute booties. I feel like I'm saying booties a lot. Booties.) Now I'm all set for fall!

 Pancakes, Walton, Booties, Art wall.

Ignore that Cheer bear okay it's from the glory days 1st grade.

Fall Nail Trends

 Hello!

   Just popping in to mention an article I found today -- Fall Nail Trends! This might be ridiculous to anyone ever but me, but I'm totally obsessed with doing my nails (and fall, too), so I was weirdly excited to read it. Anyway, here's the article.
