the last day of summer never felt so cold, never felt so old

These past couple days have been a bit odd. I don't even know how to describe it.

On Saturday we had our end of year soccer party and I had a really, really good time. Like so good, I'm surprised. But it messed with my brain because it felt more like that was the beginning of summer, not the end. The Autumnal Equinox is tomorrow, so it literally was the last day of summer today. It wasn't very summery weather though. (SUN, SUN, MR GOLDEN SUN, PLEASE SHINE DOWN ON ME!) The weather was so not summery that, in fact, I had to resort to my winter heat-producing ways, which mean thick scarves and warm, fuzzy socks. I find comfort in them, though, so I guess it's not a terrible thing...

I feel like making noise. I want to be locked in a room with only a set of drums and a keyboard for hours (maybe some food, too) - and a yoga DVD - just to make noise. And how do young, bored kids make noise? Pots and pans, my friends, POTS AND PANS. Cool lighting isn't a bad idea, either.

these photos are like my life - AWKWARD BUT I LIKE IT.

Especially this one. Also, Ninja isn't a very good model. I know models and photographers and photoshoot directors talk about keeping things moving, but he moves a bit too much. Okay.....maybe waaaaaaaaay too much.

I know plaid is ALL THE RAGE right now, but it's that ugly, yellow/red/purple/blue/green block plaid....and this is not. So...yeah.

I RAN 10 LAPS OF MY SCHOOLYARD AT ABOUT 2 MINS AVERAGE. IT WAS SWEATY.

I'm sorry my photos have not had much optimism in them lately, BOO HORMONES. But I will try. HAPPINESS IS ON IT'S WAY. *follow, follow, follow, follow the yellow brick rooad*

My hair is in that grow out stage, where all I can do with it is put it up. I'm desperately considering La Roux's haircut, or something of the like. (Her music, too, but the hair is aw-mahh-zzzz-ing.)

And today I realised that I am aboslutely IN LOVE with boxers and sequined hotpants, such as the ones following (I KNOW, OLD, BUT I STILL LIKE IT. I LIKE THE SPRINGSUMMER TREND OF LEATHER HOTPANTS TOO, BUT THESE ARE JUST WICKED).

Also, I know it's a bit old now, but I LOVE the make up below. I don't own (or wear) a lot of make up, but I'm looking for the perfect shade to do this is in.

Outfit:
Shirt - Razzle Dazzle from Winners
