Hey Cool Kid

What is in my bag?

• my sister gave me this vintage Michael Kors bag for my birthday.
• my bf gave me this video nano (16 G!) for being a Kaka (world cup joke) last month.
• the last graphic novel i read called Refresh Refresh, it's about these young guys who live in a small town where many people have gone to fight in the Middle East. There's angst, there's sex, there's tragedy.
• my gifted Misikko flat iron. sometimes i carry it around for no particular reason .
  

Well i am taking a summer course and working this summer so it's pretty difficult to post all while planning my move from the nest in September. But here's a list of fun things i'll be posting soon:

• Fresh & Onlys/ Northside festival coverage
• Dirty Betty Vintage Giveaway !!
• new shoes and new clothes
• more new music !

Once I Was Pretty, I Was Pretty To Anyone

NEON INDIAN AND WILD NOTHING @ MHOW

but first a note to whom it may concern (and you with the glasses): haven't been posting at all lately and i feel terrible but i am having some relationship troubles, camera troubles, internet troubles. Plus, it's the World Cup right now and i'm mexican so I've been watching the games. Couldn't care less about what i am wearing.

on to the post:

Life in NYC has been a whirlwind of summer shows and late nights. I went to see Future Islands play at Silent Barn last week and didnt think twice about going into the crowd and dancing until all of my stuff fell on the floor because my bag broke open. Thank god i salvaged everything, but i do still have your i.d. Chelsea Yang, who ever you are! hope your NYU loans aren't too extreme ;)

didin't manage to get pictures though, but i have pictures of the Neon Indian show. it's a bit wild how popular they got in the last year.

Here's what i wore:

wearing Motelrocks Jeta Dress, h&M bra and sandals from endless.com

seriously in need of my old photographer grrr.

Here is Neon Indian:

crowd shots:

and Wild Nothing:

Neon Indian was great but i was expecting a little better, I feel the Wild Nothing set was cut short. and i believe that Neon Indian didn't play Should Have Taken Acid With You. It was good but could've been better. Still reminiscing about the Washed Out show. But we'll see if the Northside festival is any better ( google it because i'm through linking everything for today).

if you like Neon indian you'll like Future Islands who gave an amazing show.

i swear to god they don't get me at all...

Saturday night at home...... planning to move out for the first time. Anyone have any stories or advice ?

Summer time is always a time to re-assess your makeup bag.

Here's a clue: skip the foundation, skip the dark liner (especially on your lower lid).

NYC's bold humidity will simply wipe it from your face and onto your shirt, the bastard.

Keep it simple....way simple.

I like to stick to classics.

I read somewhere that the perfect shade of lip color should match the inside of your lower lip.

I find these lip smackers do this for me.

Me and my sister swear by them, as does my seven year old cousin Angie, besides i can't abide by anything super glossy or lipsticky during the hot summer 80+ weather.

and love this American Apparel lacquer in "Mouse" shade , although i hate to look down at my nails and think furry rodent.

(i'm doing the wrong thing and painting over my chipped polish teehee)

looks much like Chanel's Particulière, no?

.....real outfit posts coming later this weekend.

I promise i have tons of unheard great new indie music for you guys that i haven't looked through. My ears have been taking a break. But this is something from the 80s that i've been loving.

it could easily be anything coming out this year, I've hear this sound so much lately. still not sick of it.

Cute female vocals, get me every time.

The Boy With The Tiger, The Boy With The Girl

Ah, to rest and rest and rest. To come home from school and work and just lay on my new loveseat.

The love seat is a funny story actually. I walked into the furniture store one day and ordered a loveseat for my bf's new place, came home and said oh guess what you just bought a new love seat dear.

It's not as crazy as it sounds though; i knew he would love it and he totally does.

.

I was drinking my Honest Tea today and read this quote (printed on the inside of the bottle). It really meant a lot to me at this point in my life so i'm going to put it on here in case it will mean something to someone else.

“Peace is not a little white dove. It is you and me."

- Rigoberta Menchu Tum


and this beautiful song might mean something as well, written by a beautiful soul that chose to check out early:

Yonlu- A Boy And A Tiger

I've been feeling rather reflective lately.
