Spring Transformations, Lookbook, and Catharsis Updates.

Hello everyone.

I had a pretty good Spring Break. I did no work at all and instead I hung around with my boyfriend. I got some thing done since I was home, like getting my hair cut and new contacts.

I've been transitioning to natural hair since May of last year. I had braids in for most of the time until I came back from my semester in Dublin. From December to March I had weaves in to protect my hair from the cold. I decided spring would be a great time to cut my hair so I can wear it out naturally.

It didn't really come out how I wanted because my stylist straightened my hair to cut it. She didn't cut all my relaxed hair off, just the ends that were broken and damaged. she said she'll cut the rest when I come back. I hair does look pretty good short though. I can't wait to see how it looks once it gets wet. My kinky hair will come through!

Catharsis is doing well. We've raised $630 and we expect more donations to be sent through mail. unfortunately, if we don't raise $1,000 in 25 hours then IndieGoGo will take 9% of what we raised so far. It kind of sucks but at least we'll have most of the money we'll need. Alexa and I have been working on getting the production book done so we can submit to the production supervisors at Tisch. The shoot is less than a month away.

I returned to Manhattan today. Th weather has been so nice the past couple of days. I'm really into not wearing pants so the warm weather has been great for me. I can't wait for summer! I've been really into shopping for the spring and summer season. I bought some cute floral dresses from Forever 21 and I'm currently trying to find a nice pair of brown wedges.

I bought this dress from Forever 21. I can't wait to wear it!

When I came back to my room I found my House of Holland Super Suspender Tights came in the mail! I ordered them all the way from England on a website called Tightsplease (www.tightsplease.co.uk). I loved the suspender look of them and I had to do some internet searching to get them. I know Urban Oufitters has them for $28, but I bought them for $19.97! Plus shipping.

I took some pictures with my new tights on and posted one on Lookbook. I joined Lookbook awhile ago because I loved the outfits people posted. I've always been a little insecure to post my own looks, plus I don't have a super fancy digital SLR camera.

I had a grungy look going on today. I was wearing black jeans with my studded boots. Both the Led Zeppelin shit and the plaid shirt I got in Dublin. The plaid shirt is from H&M and my Led Zep shirt is from a small vintage store in Dublin. Led Zeppelin is one of my favorite bands.

I should be in bed right now. I have so much work to do for Catharsis and I haven't started writing my paper for my video game class.
