I've been getting situated with a few things so I may just be a little bit longer..

XOXOXOXOO

RENEGADE CRAFT FAIR 2011.

WARNING:

PHOTO OVERLOAD POST.


currently bumpin: "the love"- a tribe called quest

This past weekend (despite CARmaggedan- even though I kicked it's ass) I attended the Renegade Craft Fair. If you love crafts then you will not be disappointed in this event but be aware you might wanna spend all of your money! haha!

Such a lovely So Cal day with such a lovely crowd, oh California... I love you.

Anyways, here are a few pictures along with my purchases. 

Kelsey, Oliver & I.

What did I get?

Cant't wait till the Holiday show!

Dear Blog,

I wish I had a billion bills so I could have bought everything.

Love, Colleenuhh

4th.

Hope everyones holiday weekend was awesome. Mine was. No joke, I seriously gained like 3 pounds in 2 days alone grubbing on BBQ, cakes & chips- bad girl I knoooowww. But I promise after this weekend things are really going to change with my diet. My goal is to loose at least 15 pounds by end of summer even though my dream (key word: DREAM) is to loose 25.

Anyway, back to my 4th. I seriously think this was one of the best 4ths I have had in a long while, so nice to just relax, eat & have laughs with my family. We even had wheel burrow rides in my yard! EEP!

A few snapshots?:

Lily & Isaiah- niece/nephew

Doesn't my dad look like a badass?! haha & My MOOD! He was so pissed we put that costume on him but we had to for just a little to get photos of how amazing & patriotic he looked. LOL

Dear Blog,

I hope Mood doesn't hate me.

Love, Colleen

For the love of IPhone!

Yes, I do miss my old LG phone BUT I mean let's be real here, what was I thinking not having an iphone?

Anybody know of any cool "Must Have" apps to have?

 Gotta have Instagram:

Polaroid app? For $1.00 it's pretty cool to have.

 I also received my Cakies package today!

It's the "Sally" pin. I think me & Sally will be wonderful friends :)

Dear Blog, Need I say packages rule?

Love, The Happy Customer

An other angel made his way...

I would like to make a shout out to Buddy, my dear friend Bres dog. Dear buddy had to be put down today & Bre is not doing so well :(  so if you can say a prayer for her that would be so much appreciated by me. He was such a sweet dog & he will be greatly missed. Buddy was a very important piece to Bres heart & I am sure he is thankful for the wonderful life she gave him. Now he is in a better place pain free, eating & playing with the other sweet pets. I don't even want to think about Mood dying- such a horrible, lifeless feeling when you loose a pet.

R.I.P Buddy

This song is for you sweet soul <3

Feelin' pretty gangsta

L O L x 100

I actually have been feelin' pretty G I must say- as in "G" I mean Gangster & as Gangster I mean Spiffy haha. Anyhoo- has this week not flown by? Pshh & it's already the end of June pretty much!

WHY?

IDK.

haha. In other news my homie, Jessica asked me to be the face painter at her nephews 1st birthday party & of course I said yes. Since then I have been googling (gotta love Google) different types of animals that are cute yet easy to paint. Man, not to hate or anything but it pulled up alot of "unique" ones :// (haha?)

I promise wee children, I will do my best to make you look dashing ;)

What about this weather? If you live in California are you asking yourself "What the bleep mother nature, what's going on?" I know I am. This brings me to these bad boys. 

Uhmmm- how could you go wrong with $3.97 polka dot tights?! I've been obsessed for a while now &

I just thought I may share in case any of your ladies (or guys) wanted to know. 

Nordstrom Rack. Go.

I also found the polka doted cardigan at Nordstrom Rack (shown in my last post). Little Girls Section. Clearance. GO. :)))))))))

__________________________________________________________________________________

OH!

& look what I found.

I misplaced my eyebrow plucker & what do you know? I find the awesome one I bought some time last year.

TELL ME YOU LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

AGHHH. & it actually works pretty good. 

WIN.

Dear Blog, When life delivers the opportunity to be Spiffy, Grab it & hold it forever! heehee

Love, Ms.Spiffy 

Yes. I am short.

OH WELL!

I had a dazzling day with one of my dearest Bre this weekend & man... I hadn't really thought of how short I was. We actually ran into my grandma (whom I get my shorty syndrome from) & geeze, as she walked ahead of us I pictured myself as an older her. A short her. Don't get me wrong I love my height (I mean who doesn't want a boyfriend that's taller than them & wear heels? heehee) But I can't help to wonder... What if I was an inch taller? Maybe even two? Like I said, OH WELL. Ever have insecurities about your height? I hope everyone is enjoying their Monday!

Here are a few trips of our adventure:

& I also bought this. I have said a few times that Forever21 & I have a love hate relationship... this happened to be a time that we were pretty in love :)

CUUUUUUTEEEEEE!!!!!

Dear Blog,

Who would have known there would be a short mexican sailor in 2011. 

MUAHAHHAHA.

Love, Piquito

LIDDOL ME!

This weekend I helped my sweet cousin get ready for prom. Wasn't prom stressful? Well I know when I went to prom I was on automatic FREAK OUT mode- I just wanted to make sure I looked ;) haha! Anyways- so glad my cousin had an awesome time, she was so grateful of the work I did for her. Yay me!

Here are a few shots I got of her- Work it Cuz!

& LOOK! A picture of me when I was in Pre School! I had to take a picture of it- wasn't I sweet?

Apparently I was told I dress the same haha

Sometimes I amaze myself on my memory skills, I can still remember things from back then.

1.) Making a "sand angel" in the sand and remember thinking I was going to get bugs

2.) My mom picking me up & laying in the back seat of the car looking at telephone poles

3.) A party we had, some girls mom made that pudding with cookie crumbs & gummy worms (dirt with worms) & thinking how cool it was

4.) The "Blue Table" I remember exactly how that table was shaped & that it was always the "cool table"

5.) The Play Kitchen. So cool.

6.) My mom picking me up late from school & she found me in the office crying.

7.) Putting my head down on the table the first day of school because I saw everyone was crying, I tried hiding my tears.

8.) Forgetting my lunch money :(

9.) The boy who peed in class- isn't there always somebody who does?? I've seen a few piss puddle quite a few times in my day LOL :)

10.) ALWAYS being last on the colorful tape lined on the floor. Sucks to have your last name start with a "Y" -__-

Theres alot more but these are a few on the top of my head. 

Dear Blog,

It's so strange to me to think I was once that small. I am proud to say that I am quite happy of what I've become.

Always, Past & Present Colleen

PS. Found this video someone did to one of my favorite songs- isn't it lovely! :(

Hello San Pedro.

This weekend by far was one of the best I've had in a while, I must say it was refreshing getting away from home & enjoying the lovely weather in San Pedro. I went to visit my eldest sister (& new nephew) along with a friend of mine in Costa Mesa (So lucky the cities are close- kill two birds with one stone?).

Friday: I sung myself all the way to San Pedro where I said my hellos & watched "Perfume". Anyone seen it? 
The story is pretty dark & odd- do I recommend? Yes. Watch it & get freaked out haha


Saturday: Drove to Costa Mesa & visited my friend Crystal. PARTY NIGHT. 3 HOURS OF SLEEP. Need I say more? I had so much fun  cannot wait to visit her again.


Sunday: LAZY DAY. Literally showered & sat around chatting with my sister. So niiiice to just lounge around.


Monday: Sadly no BBQ but went to The Camp in Costa Mesa & had the most amazing vegan cupcakes ever. EVER.
My drive home wasn't bad either, can you believe there was no traffic!? 

Oliver <3

It seems like yesterday I saw him come out of the womb! ::tear::
All in all my mini vacation was a complete success & I wish I could rewind time
& re do it all over again.


Dear Blog, Wishing.
Always, Colleen

Keyboard Cat.

This header pretty much explains itself :) I would have never thought that thee Keyboard Cat aka Fatso would become such a hit! I remember seeing his smash hit video years ago & now look at him- he's everywhere. Even on this awesome t-shirt I got on Threadless.

Brilliant.

I even spiced it up with a different cardigan

Dear Blog,

Instant Love? I guess you can say... YEUP.

LOL
