Once upon a time....

Once upon a time...

On a far away college campus...

Lived a girl named Alice...

She was bored and unproductive...

(fake mustaches are fun)

She spent her time...

shopping... (etsy & UO...)

blog surfing... (Rockstar Diaries, Design*Sponge...)

facebooking...

and wondering what she should do with her half done paintings...

(I think I'm going to add more colors... the grey is too depressing...)

Eventually, Alice wrote her papers and got good grades on them.

The End.

Picking up the brush again...

For the past two mornings, I've gotten up to work out...

then I get back to my room...

and I just visit my daily blogs...

then...

BAM!

Inspiration hit and I just walk a couple feet to my easel...

and I create these...

Not sure what inspired them...

but I'm happy.

Cheers,

Alice

I'm not a .. quitter?

I don't quit things.....

but when you have to quit something to succeed somewhere else....

it's one of the toughest things for me to do...

because I find the smallest reasons to stick to them...

I'm trying to quit a couple of my clubs so I can focus on a passion of mine...

I know that it will be for the better if I quit...

but it's soooooo difficult for me to "break up" with them...

I hate letting people down...

but I guess I have to be selfish for a little bit and take care of myself first...

How do you break up with something that you know you don't need/want anymore?

At times like these, I just look at my Sartorialist book and fashion blogs to just mentally get away from thinking too much.

Pretty things just makes me happy

Cheers to guts!

Alice

Eat Cake!

Helloo allll....

I just celebrated my birthday and it was fantabulous!!! I'm 21!!!

My friends are amazing :)

The semester is starting.. although classes haven't started I'm swamped with my non-class stuff... love the rush though!

Because I've been busy I haven't done a lot of art related stuff but hopefully that will change soon.

I'll keep you updated with goodies!

Cheers,

Alice

I see you everywhere...

Almost every morning I go through all of my favorite blogs...

it helps me start my day right...

and so far these blogs make me wish I had a shelf full of cameras so I can take fun pictures!

I so want the Diana F+ or the mini one so I can take photos like these:

or a Holga of some sort

... so I can take pictures like these:

Ahhh camera envy.... you get me every time

Cheers,

Alice

Watching Lifetime...

I've been watching Lifetime all break because.. well.. I'm bored.

I'm sitting in the living room with my magazines (just cutting out the stuff I like as usual)

and watching Grey's Anatomy (love McDreamy lol...)

and every now and then a movie will come on and I would just leave it on there.

I definitely feel very girly watching Lifetime but it's nice to balance out last semester

(I hung out with my guy friends.. a lot of guy friends)...

This jump into Lifetime land has put me in a stage of .... just thinking... eh... sometimes good stuff... sometimes bad stuff.. mostly random stuff

I kind of want to build a fort...

I really want a puppy (I love the image below)...

And I'm loving Taza and Husband blog...

Just adorable and

I cant say that I'm not jealous of their pictures...

Lifetime is definitely bringing out the girly side of me.

Cheers,

Alice

Psych on me...

Hello everyone,

Guess what? I'm NOT going to Europe.

I guess things just happen...

As you know, I am upset

.... but I'm trying not to dwell on it any longer because it's no use.

I'm all ready but no where to go...

Just going to watch some Friends and eat some cake...

all via

I hope everyone is doing well... I'm going to stay distracted and not think about it. The silver lining will come soon enough.

Cheers (to how ridiculous things are sometimes),

Alice
