back corner table, order lobsters and Black Label raise your glasses, here's to living out our dreams




 All I want right now....

There is literally nothing better than east coast seafood and a glass of prosecco - it is so good to be home. Hopefully something more exciting - or at least worth talking about - will happen in the two months before I go back to Chicago.

I've never been this far away from home




self portraits from a documented performance piece - by me 
head piece - horse hair, burlap, wig cap

I have my core final crit tomorrow! This is 1/5th of the whole collection, as it had to be 5 pieces around a concept. I'm pretty happy with it, and the concepts and materials are things I will definitely be exploring more this summer and beyond. 
It's totally insane that freshman year of college is over already. A year ago at this time, I was being sentimental about leaving high school, starting a killer internship with a huge stylist in NYC, and soaking up the rest of our time in our little town with my friends. Going through all the insane shit I went through this year makes me see how lucky I was to have the life I did. Between the amazing education (that is still continuing), the small town that really isn't so insignificant after all (I just learned that Julia Child lived miles from my house for a time), and most of all the genuine people. I've learned more then anything that that combination of life circumstances is extremely rare. It has become increasingly difficult to find meaningful relationships that can even slightly compare to the ones I've had with the people in my community. I guess I took it as normal that the majority of people where I live grow their own food and only buy from farmers markets. 
I am literally counting down the days until I get to go home to all these wonderful things. This really is the last summer. After this, I will have my own apartment, should probably have a job, and most importantly, be working towards and trying to build my future career. That is so fucking scary. But for now I'm going to enjoy late summer nights, the real Jersey shore amazing food, and best of all - good company.... And I will definitely have a drink or two to that.

ruthless




This is the only lonely picture
waiting on my floor
littering my shore
this is the last true burning letter
given to a girl
written by a boy
living in a world created to destroy

but if i built you a city, would you let me
would you tear it down?

but there you go for the last time
i finally know now what i should have known then
that i could still be ruthless if you let me
but there you go and I'm not done
you're waving goodbye, well at least you're having fun
the rising tide will not let you forget me
forget me

this is your ghost that kneels before me
  razorson her tongue, a body full of oxygen
it wont be the last time she'll ignore me
the thinning of my skin, without the strength to go
the winter's setting in, to cover you in snow

but if i built you a city, would you let me
would you tear it down?

but there you go for the last time
i finally know now what i should have known then
that i could still be ruthless if you let me
but there you go and I'm not done
you're waving goodbye, well at least you're having fun
the rising tide will not let you forget me
forget me
forget me
forget me, yeah

ill raise towers and climb them
rivers and walk them
oceans to drown in
you won't make a sound in

but there you go for the last time
i finally know now what i should have known then
that i could still be ruthless if you'll let me
but there you go and I'm not done
you're waving goodbye, but at least you're having fun
the rising tide will not let you forget me
...forget me

-Ruthless, Something Corporate

I am the New Jersey dance queen






J. is a romantic roller coaster
He don’t do anything he supposed to
I like 'em tough and mean
Jim is the worst that I ever seen
I am the trailer park darling
He is the one-time come-back king
He knows that I be
Looking to die
He says baby pay
Respect to the high
He knows it’s a big bad world
knows that I’m a good girl
He understands we sell ourself --
'Cause cash comes quick when looks can kill
- Lana Del Rey, Hundred Dollar Bill


4 weeks and I'm out. Back to Jersey and country living... These photos remind me of our long nights - I'm gonna miss it. But I'll be back in August with a beautiful new apartment and a fashion career to get started.

copy, paste and things get severely blown out of proportion
















turn around it's my turn to let you down
I love it when you....cry baby cry baby cry
turn around it's my turn to let you down
you can drawn in 99 tears
cry baby cry baby cry cry baby cry baby cry
you can drawn in 99 tears
 I <3 Sky Ferreira

Where is summer and laziness and sheer clothing? I think I go to the only school in the country that literally give no days off other than winter break. Unless you count two days for spring break... fml. 6 weeks and its all over.
