Not So Indian Summer
 |
Ever since I moved to the East Coast, I’ve been asked a baffling question everywhere I go, “Are you part Hispanic/American Indian/West Indian?” Back in the Midwest, the general consensus is if you look black, then you probably are and asking otherwise is a waste of time. My answer to this question is usually a confused look and a sweet “nope” followed by a girlie chuckle, if that’s possible. I’m starting to understand why people ask my heritage, because not do I usually wear my hair very straight, but I like to put fun headbands in my hair making me look more Native American, than I actually am.
Today, I decided to feed into my fake heritage (do you think I could start claiming American Indian? Ha!) and I fashioned a feathered hat pin into a clip I could latch onto my headband. I had actually broken the feathers a while ago, but I finally found my handy-dandy glue gun and fixed it so the feathers weren’t all limp and sad-looking.
After changing about a million times because its cold in my house and really hot and humid outside, I decided on this cute strapless number I got from Target last year or the year before. When I bought it, I wore it once and decided I didn’t like it, but now I’ve changed my mind once again and have decided its cute. What do you think, cute or not?
I’ve sort of been MIA lately because I think summer is making me crazy. My work schedule gets hectic, and when I’m not working, I just want to chill out by blasting music and dancing like I’m crazy— I promise its so much fun! Lately, I’ve been blaring a lot of old albums by the Fueled By Ramen artists, I have a bit of a fangirl affection toward them. Vain & Vapid tagged me a while ago and the task I have to do is figure out my favorite 7 spring/summer songs, and I promise I’m going to do it, but I’m not sure which songs are going to make the list.
I’m off to work— I hostess at a local restaurant— but before you head off to other blogs, I wanna know: what are your favorite songs are right now? Maybe this will help me with my list!
I think - really cute and fresh )))

Oh girl! Love the indian princess look. Well more like an indie indian princess. You need a name of some sort to go with that. Maybe something like Quivering Feather or something…
Yeah so favorite songs:
That’s Not My Name by The Ting Tings
Smile by Marsh
Where Happiness Lives by Magnet
Go Girl by Pitbull
Nude by Radiohead
Amsterdam by Peter Bjorn and John
Elevator by Flo Rida
I love the dress, and the headband is adorable, it’s even a little bit flapper-ish. As far as music, I love the Kings of Leon, Mighty Six Ninety, and the new Coldplay.

I love that name, though can I be Chief Quivering Feather? Ha Ha! The Tings Tings and Radiohead were going to make my list but I could only choose 7 songs. I hate limits!

It is a bit flapper-ish isn’t it. I can’t really get away from that style, and I’m not really complaining. Kings of Leon are awesome, and I love the new Coldplay album— I think I’ve heard of Mighty Six Ninety, but I don’t think I’ve ever listened to their music. I must get on that!
