moving day is tomorrow. it signifies a lot of things for me, emotionally, physically, and creatively. i feel like it's a brand new start; like i'll be taking my first step into a completely new life... one that i've always desired but could just never quite get. 
 yesterday i spent about 6 hours straight re-doing this blog's layout (thank you mad), designing the weird header you see above from a photo i took 6 years ago + my handwritten blog name + the eye from holy mountain. i don't think it's technically "good design" or whatever, but because i somehow merged all of those elements together and made it by myself, i feel that it's very reflective of me and what i put into the world and on this blog, imperfections and all. i know i'm getting super deep and introspective on blog design here- my apologies. 
 what i'm TRYING to get at is that the redesign is sort of like a rebirth. the content of this blog is going to be a hell of a lot more diverse and creative. i feel like since my environment is going to foster creative energy, as i'll be living with two very incredible people with phenomenal taste, that i'll just be consistently inspired to show more of my real life instead of just staged outfit photos... thus, making this a lifestyle blog. 
 as i think a lot of bloggers do, i'm posting this as some sort of public promise, making it harder to go back on. i feel that once i put something out into the universe (internet) for everyone to see, that i'm now obligated to follow through and do it instead of just daydreaming. 
 i hope you enjoy what's to come... i couldn't possibly be more excited and relieved to be embarking on such a beautiful new path.

speaking of beautiful, this Serena Maneesh song+vid is fucking AMAZING.

holy fuck. i've been feeling the exact same thing about my blog. like, really super bored of just doing outfit photos, and wanting to make it more cohesive with the parts of my life that are far more interesting than what i wear. that was a long confusing sentence, but i'm tired as fuck blah. dude enjoy the new house! i'm stoked for this rebirth. CONGRATULATIONS/muchos good vibes.

The house is right off of Glendale blvd, sorta near where Alvarado crosses Glendale. (excuse my lameness with echo park landmarks). It's so sweet and I'm moving in next Saturday! So unbelievably stoked.
