Neckbrace

Do you ever wonder how the universe began? How we, as humans, are miniscule little beings breathing air to live a meaningless life to the universe? We're not giving anything back. I'm referring to the universe as a whole. It's like, there's a world, just for us humans, and we judge each other by our accomplishments, but that's only in our little bubble. Does that make sense? It means nothing in the larger, real sense. It's weird to think about it like that. Afraid to flirt with that guy across from you at the beach? Whether or not you embarrass yourself and face rejection or feel flattered by his enthusiasm in you requesting to give him your number, it means nothing. If you two end up having children, it still means nothing. If that child discovered the cure to cancer, it STILL means nothing. Nothing. The universe will continue. This massive, universe that reaches unfathomable sizes will continue to breathe. I would say grow, but I don't know how large the universe is, therefore I would be lying. This blog means nothing. The internet is nothing. It's another useless piece of junk humans got a hold of to occupy their meaningless lives. Business, money, power overall is an awful thing made of nothingness. Jeez. Sorry to be so pessimistic. Whatever. I want some cheese fries.

Stare Into The Sun

This week has been full of DIY projects for myself and Miracle Eye! These shorts, orange floral crown, and the flowers on my shoes are a few of the many things I had been procrastinating to get to. Procrastinating might not be the right word due to the fact that I'm almost never home. But when I am, I take the definition of the word 'lazy' to a whole new level, and that's a good enough of an excuse for me (because I'm always busy with Miracle Eye, friends, or concerts). Life is short, go out all the time, and when you're not out, embrace your inner coach potato-ness (no, don't listen to me), and watch season after season of My Strange Addiction or good ol' True Life for a self-esteem boost (listen to me on this one) OR I Almost Got Away With It to learn what NOT to do when you're trying to smuggle in coke from Venezuela (i'm kind of kidding).

I don't have much to say other than that, and if you didn't read any of this, here's a sentence from the Miracle Eye Facebook page that sums it all up: Happy Friday everyone! Boy am I glad that I don't have a lot of friends, that way I can stay in and decorate shorts tonight instead of getting trashed -- Musings of an anti-social clothing designer (yours truly).

Short-sleeve olive sheer maxi top - coming soon to Miracle Eye

Necklace - Etsy trade

Floral crown - DIY

Shorts with gold fringe - coming soon to Miracle Eye

Shoes and sunglasses - coming soon to Miracle Eye

Handmade moon bag - Colombia markets (grabbed it when I visited last month) 

PS I felt really inspired by someone I had already been following through Lookbook, but just recently became slightly obsessed with: Cheryl. Her look is a bit more 'dark' and 'witchy', whereas I put this together with a lot more 'desert' and 'sunset' vibes. Either way, check her out cause she is rad as hell.

GIRLS ARE BETTER AT EVERYTHING (EXCEPT FOOTBALL)

My friends and I came to realize that girls are literally the best at everything but football during our short talk before passing out in bed. Speaking of girls being awesome, I met Tavi a few days ago (this is what I wore) at the screening of Clueless from 8-10 at Space 15 Twenty! She was so down to earth and sweet, and not awkward at all. It's very inspiring to meet someone my age who has far surpassed me in life accomplishments thus far. She is so intelligent and I love Rookie Mag so much. It is undoubtedly the best thing to happen to the internet. Anyways, I've got so many GOOD new outfit photos waiting on my computer that I can't wait to post within the next few days! Stay tuned.

Miracle Eye Summer Lookbook: SEEK & D-STROY

There ya have it. My favorite photos from our loooong, 39 photo filled, summer collection lookbook. The collection featuring over 40 new designs launched on Monday, July 23rd! Check out the full thing here, and take a look at our short video lookbook as well! I suggest you watch it in 720p (HD). It really creates the full effect. 

We took a day and a half to shoot the entire thing, and I want to sincerely thank everyone who was a part of it. All my models, my parents, and the people who took part in helping me edit photos and generally improve the website all over, including a new logo, thanks to a certain special someone from darkvice.net. Thank you thank you. I especially (even though I just mentioned her), want to thank my girl from Dark Vice for skyping with me for thirteen straight hours (my first REAL all-nighter where I saw the sun come down and rise back up the next morning), then messaging each other for another six hours the next day. I went 48 hours with no sleep, all for Miracle Eye. My last two days in Colombia were spent confined in my cousin's room skyping with Sophie on upgrading stuff, including the new slideshow, the homepage, and the logo. I strongly suggest anyone who ever needs help with coding, or needs graphic design work done, GET AT HER. She rules. If you don't need any design work done, follow her blog. Her photos are insane, and her style is equally unbelievable. Lastly, thank you Sophie's awesome boyfriend, Reiss, for not hating me (I think) for taking your girlfriend away on a week(end) day while you were watching Midnight in Paris alone + kind of confirming to me that Colombia is extremely dangerous + that the show Cops is SO terrible that's it's good. THANKS, DUDE.

This last photo was taken on set on the first day of shooting by my mom in a quick sec before I handed the girls the outfits for the next location. Thanks, mom! 

Do you see a familiar, *small* face on the left of the photo? ;-)
