helplessness blues

Photobucket

from the title, it probably seems like i’m depressed. the excessive use of blue in my recent posts probably hasn’t helped that assumption but i assure you i’m happy and good as ever! this color of turquoise blue is my new go-to color and it reminds me of summer days spend at the beach (which i will spend my remaining days of high school daydreaming about). this title refers to fleet foxes new brilliant album helplessness blues. if you have not listened to it, please do! it’s so lovely and nostalgic and everything a sophomore album should be. my favorites on the album are the shrine / an argument and helplessness blues.

in other news, i scored this cute little necklace yesterday! i was on my senior class outing to knotts berry farm when i spotted it in one of the indian souvenir shops. it was love at first sight i tell you. since i bought it, i have taken it off only to sleep. so who cares if i didn’t have enough money for lunch… that was ten dollars put to very good use

this past weekend, i had a girls day at the lab. i loved wandering the cool stores and restaurants like buffalo exchange, urban outfitters and gypsy den. buffalo exchange is a thrift store that in my opinion, is the best in orange county! they are a little pricier than the goodwill but i have found some amazing things there, like gucci pants from this season (which were unfortunately too small) and a d&g coat (that was unfortunately too big). we didn’t buy anything today on this outing but it was still fun to look. the gypsy den is a great local hang out and it reminds me of the elephant house in edinburgh, scotland… sigh such good times. the gypsy den is known for their great drinks but my favorite is the vanilla chai tea, which i am addicted to… its a problem, really
