Last weekend went from "yay, Spring!" to "dang, Summer already?" in a matter of hours. Whew! Kasmira was nice enough to invite me to a performance of Enchanted April, put on by The Drama Workshop. Reva and I thoroughly enjoyed the costumes and the show! I was out taking street style pictures when I interrupted this dude's smoking break. I'm pretty sure that was a cigarette
A few things I'd like to try right now:Bold lipcolor. I've been experimenting with a cheap lipliner and various lipsticks before I go whole hog buying an electric violet-y lipstick. I'd like to try orange, too.I gotta take better care of my hair. Detangle more often. Maybe try some henna and coconut oil. I've gotten lazy.There is a turban in my future. I can feel it!I'm veeeerrrrry interested in crop tops, despite an

Lovely Zara heels that I WILL NEVER HAVE because you can see their stuff online, but you can't buy it; Ethereal pencil and watercolor illustrations make me want to revisit my (dusty) art supplies; Geometric abstracts in bold colors are my weakness; I may move into this Tibi store
