corners

I know that i start out every post with "sorry I haven't posted lately" but I mean it. Sorry. I've had a lot on my plate because I'm in high school (yuck) but I've made some new friends. 

Any who, this post is going to be about my room at my dad's house and a few updates. I've decorated it to perfection. Well, to me it is. I tried to go for "on the set of a teenage movie" and "disheveled museum." Also, when I was obsessed with early Tavi Gevinson, she used to post pictures of the hollows of her cabinets after she turned them into shrines. 

Brilliant.

I kinda did that? You'll see. I also found a few vintage items that will be featured below.

Cool beans, let's start.

View of a vintage 80s science text book that I stole from my dad.

I collect little plastic items and stick them in boxes that I find from the thrift shop so that's what this is.

Animals, figures, hair clips.

Mini soldiers, artificial bugs, dinos. 

An old mirror/grief thingy from my mom. There's a picture of someone I don't particularly know but it looks victorian.

Some books on my shelf, a mini tree to get in the spirit! And cute plastic 90s butterfly hair clips.

Mac DeMarco hat (it doesn't say "Viceroy" or anything I just think it's something he'd wear) and a poster that I made, a few Christmas star lights BECAUSE THE HOLIDAY IS NEAR!

A blurry photo of my musical setup.

Close up.

Vintage text book in corner, pilgrim shoes to the bottom right, a map of France from the 60s, 2 punk patches from etsy.com, a vintage French poster from the 60s which is unrelated to the map idk how that happened, a vampire weekend poster because Ezra Koening is truly my god, and last but not least, a golden angel ornament from Dollar Tree.

Creepy doll face from etsy.com (from the 1940s)

Some collages I made using old teen vogues and rookie collage kits, a vintage lamp from a thrift shop, and an old lightbulb that adds spice to my room. It really lights everything up HA puns.

A vintage, used postcard from the 1950s and a glow in the dark star. The selfie was an accident but looking' good Alex.

Shadow play.

OKAY a lot goin' on here...

Early 00's Pink & Purple bike accessories are hand me downs from an old neighbor, there are gems from an old dress that I ripped up from a costume, a pink heart charm from an old hello kitty necklace from ages ago, a guitar pick that I found on the bus floor and kept because I thought it was a good memorial to 6th grade, a shell from my mom, a leaf pin from eh a thrift shop. An old mp3 player from like the 90s that I took from my mom. It's sitting on a blockbuster card. Seriously, a museum guys.

Stuffed bear... Don't know how that came to be. Marge Simpson from the dollar store,  pink triangle box that holds my makeup is from a thrift shop, and the key chain is from my 8th grade dance.

Wow. a lot. 

Fake pear to remind me of Rene Magritte, heart mug from thrift shop, journal is a diy from a very early post. Light bulbs from thrift shop, and angry plastic army men from Dollar Tree.

2 vintage science text books also stolen from my dad. Black lace choker from my mom.

A selfie I took. Even though It's way too bright I still like that effect, ya know? Also my hair is looking fantastic there so I couldn't not post it, honestly.

WELL OOTD! Pilgrim shoes from thrift shop, socks from Urban Outfitters (on a sale because who has the money, honestly?) Wool, tartan skirt also from Urban Outfitters sale., and a red tank top from Target.

Playground Love

Poetry and drawing in the corner by moi, an old cherry coca cola bottle because I thought it was cute, post card from a museum, the photograph from Middle School (let's not) and married people from a thrift shop.

OKAY QUICK LIL' APPRECIATION POST FOR THIS LIL' CUTE MEXICAN JUMPING BEAN:

My friend, Mark Tortilla Bob Ross Nice Pond, is such a great person I decided to put a LITtle appreciation post for him. Truly one of my favorite people. Also, Donald Trump if you're reading this he's not actually Mexican don't deport him just yet. Okay back to the stuff:

More of my outfit. Wow, poses. On the bottom picture I have a brown suede button up layered bought from the thrift shop, but you can't really tell because of the filter. OOPS.

Another corner of my room, my collage kit, bubbles, a box of records, my bag from a thrift shop, and that french victorian mourning art piece thingy again.

MY OH MY.

A Beatles food tray from a souvenir shop in Florida (where I live), Henry the rat, a heart gem from Target in 2011, glimpse of a flower crown, a heart bag full of sea shells from a beach in Florida, an angel pin from the thrift shop, a plastic horse from my old babysitter, a ticket stub from a trip to New York, a fake snake that I found in a box somewhere, a safety pin with beads on it for some reason, a mini easter game, and a little peak of a CD album.

Inside of the vintage text book.

Closeup.

More of my colonial shoes and a peak of these socks which I'm in love with.

For some reason this picture is upside down and I can't turn it. Just call it art.

An article from "Teen Ink" and although I have been published, I don't have my poems displayed, I put up this story about love that made me lachrymose up on the side of my desk.

View from the window sill. I have soda pop bottles scattered around my room for their aesthetic qualities just go with it. I have a plastic army man and a bug battling off in front of a 70s postcard of Hong Kong found at a thrift shop, a tube of messy lipstick, a campbell soup mug which was there because I was drinking cranberry juice OKAY I'M OLD (15 years), and a silver platter. I don't think it's actual silver because it was 4 dollas from a thrift shop but it's cute and holds my mascara. 

Another close look at my outfit. The pictures are all out of order. I try.

An unused candle from a thrift shop, my flower crown and a sea glass crown from another earlier post. A collage done my me hanging up. I think everything else was explained earlier I don't know there's a ton of stuff here.

Skeleton buddy from Dollar Tree and Roy Lichtenstein art from "BRAD '61" art book that was 6 dollars at a local book ruin. 

Danse macabre.

Closer look.

The top of a shelf with a skull from thrift shop, a musical doc tin thingy from Germany (my mom's ex boyfriend was German and he left a lot of stuff behind), and a View Master. An antique <3

AND that's all folks. I hope I was alright explaining everything. I just really wanted to show you kids what my room looked like since I decorated it to the extreme supremeness that it's at now. Getting cocky there, watch out. Also, if you read all of this, thank you. 

Hope you had a goof Thanksgiving and stuff. Have a phenomenal Christmas! Well, Kwanzaa, I don't know what you celebrate but make sure you're alright. Listen to WILD WORLD FROM BASTILLE ALSO IT'S THE BEST.
