Lately I’m really able to appreciate the people in my life. Everyone is so different from one another in so many ways and are amazing at so many things.

Today’s outfit was an interesting combo. I’m starting to realize I have nothing but grey, white, and black clothing, so wearing green I guess is pretty epic! Also  with this realization, today I purchased canary yellow tights! I can’t wait to try them out!

Yesterday I started a chictopia account! I absolutely love it! The girls on there are so sweet and so far it has been a lot of fun and extremely inspirational.

I have some of the most amazing and beautiful friends in the world. I am so lucky to know and have them in my life. Last night my friends in All the Day Holiday played at the Firebird. If you haven’t heard them, I highly suggest it. They are wonderful, fun, and encouraging people and I’m happy they get to sleep on my floor when they are in town. Michael, they’re tour manager and photographer and I always find ourselves on some sort of photo escapade. Last night, at around 3am, we decided to go on a photo adventure! We turned the ISO up to 6500 and hit the cold streets of STL just outside my apartment and shot until we filled the card way too many times. After having way to much fun and trying to look serious for “i’m way too cool to smile” photos we finally got to sleep around 4:30am just for me to wake up at 7am. Ew.

I’m having fun piecing different things together in my closet. I feel like a little kid playing dress up.

Here are a few of the photos from last night.

It was supposed to be a serious picture but I kept laughing. I tried to compose myself but he snapped it. Too much fun!

Tonight I finally met the lovely and wonderful boys and girls that consist of the band, Deas Vail! Brandon’s band has been long time close road buddies with them forever. He has talked about them ever since we met two years ago but every time they were around, I was either out of town or had to miss them for other random reasons. They are on tour with Owl City and were set to play at The Pageant, just a few blocks away from my apartment. It couldn’t have been a more perfect! I met Brandon, Ethan, and Wes for dinner after work and we walked down to The Pageant, psyching ourselves up to be around of 11-16 year olds that swarmed the place due to Owl City. Right as we got there, we were told the show had been canceled. Boooo. The lead singer of Owl City’s body decided twenty minutes before the show, it wanted to have kidney stones. Everyone was pretty bummed out. I’m sure Mr. Owl City was probably bummed above all (I hear Kidney Stones are brutal).

After some ho-humming we found ourselves at a thai place. Everyone I met tonight are beautiful and amazing people. I love being around people that are driven to do what they desire to do and have open hearts to new people and experiences. I’m really looking forward to the rescheduled show.

Today was a nice break form the frigid cold! It was in the 50’s here in St. Louis. This outfit was comfortable and easy… until the downpour… there isn’t anything like wet and cold tights!
