Meditation Corner













I've spent the last few days putting together this wonderful meditation corner in my room. I was feeling a little bit too controlled by the internet and technology, so I decided to put away my laptop for an entire day (and I lasted for most of it - I'm shocked!) I thought I might be slightly more productive without it, and I suppose I was, a bit - I went running for the first time in a long time, read some, put this wonderful corner together, meditated a lot, spent way too much money, and spent way too much time playing hide and seek with my cats. I think the day was a success, anyway. At least I have something to show for it.

Anyways, now I'm in bed wondering what cats dream about - because the cat in the photo, Butterscotch, is asleep next to me and she's making a strange clicking noise that I've never heard before. Is she dreaming of snacking on a mouse? A bird? Is she grooming herself? If only I knew! I suppose dreams, particularly the dreams of animals, will remain one of life's biggest mysteries - for now. 

I made the shorts cut-offs recently and I'm very pleased with how they turned out - I've been destroying way too many pairs of shorts lately - they're going to end up all looking the same! 

What I'm wearing: shorts: thrifted, DIY, combat boots: urban outfitters, sweater and bag: thrifted, jewelry: vintage, forever 21

And here's a song from one of my favorite bands:

St Vincent





So here we go, St. Vincent was my first concert of the summer, and it was incredible! Annie Clark has to be the most beautiful woman in the world. She's insanely pretty (if you don't believe me just click here), and she's AMAZING live. If given the chance, GO SEE HER. I had the privilege of seeing her play in her hometown, Tulsa. I hadn't been to Tulsa since I was a child, and I loved it. The people are so friendly and stylish and the city is a really nice size. Shearwater, a band from Austin, was the opening act, and they were also very good live. It was a wonderful night.

And here's my outfit of the day: I went thrifting today and found these sandals for $3. (I believe they're from forever 21 but I could be mistaken) I also bought some other neat things that I can't wait to wear! 







It seems like every time I wear platform sandals anywhere I get an incredible amount of comments on my height. (I'm 5'10 normally). I had 3 people say how tall I was today - strange! 

what I'm wearing: shirt, bag, shoes: thrifted, dress: awear, socks: forever 21, necklace: random store in Barcelona

Alabama Shakes





Currently obsessed with this girl - her voice is unbelievable. Even if you aren't into this particularly type of music, you have to appreciate it. They're coming to Kansas City in August and if I have the funds I will probably try to go. I can't imagine hearing a voice like this live.


I'm off to Tulsa, Oklahoma for my first concert of the summer today! I'm incredibly excited for it, though I'm going alone because most of my friends are still in class or weren't willing to drive 5 hours to see this particular musician. Crazy people! 

I'll post photos and/or videos of the show tomorrow! :)
