Jules Verne; 6650 Fahrenheit blvd; Reykjavik, Iceland, 3949901

i kind of am in love with all things written by Jules Verne. i'm currently reading journey to the center of the earth, which is incredible. it inspires me to want to go on adventures and explore. i'm planning on turning my bedroom into my own little sanctuary; walls will be covered in exotic looking fabrics and photographs, i'll hang my tea bag collection up (long overdue on that), i'll have loads of dream catchers scattered all over the walls, i'll display my tambourines (once i make/get some. i'm planning on making one with sea glass for bells!), and i'll have all my nation geographic magazines sitting proudly on my bookshelf. my curtains will be pretty, tribal-esque fabric and i'll have shell talismans hanging everywhere. it'll be my perfect place. i'll probably never want to leave.

that scarf is so pretty. so is the dress. god i love that dress and scarf.

prettiest hat i've ever seen.

i can hear the music that would be playing.

love love love.

beautiful place.

dream jacket.

i made everything a nice, red font color today because it was just my mood. kind of restless i suppose, but calm and serene too.

*the temperature at the center of the earth is 6650• Fahrenheit. You must go to Sneffels in Reykjavik, Iceland, to get to the center of the earth (according to Arne Saknussem), and it is 3,949.901 miles to the earths center. Jules Verne wrote Journey to the Center of the Earth.

sassitude

Hello! I don't have much to post. I am going to post more outfit posts soon, it's just been so cold and rainy that I've been wearing jeans and a huge wintery jacket. How ironic considering I live in California.

Anyway, today my advisor got mad at me because I "have too much attitude." She told me to do my homework in advisory, and I was like "I don't want to" and she goes "You should do your homework" and I was like "but I don't want to" and then she is like "you should" and I was like "so you're saying I have to?" and she goes "yeah, pretty much. you are distracting everyone." And then I probably did an UGH or an eye roll or bitch face or something, because afterwards she said that my attitude "wasn't great." Whatever. I like having attitude and sass. It's apart of my identity.

I'm also in the process of redecorating my room! I'm currently in search of vintage-y photos of landscapes (basically anything that would be in a National Geographic Magazine, but vintage-y) as well as vintage maps (if you have such things, feel free to email me if you care to DONATE such belongings). I'm planning on plastering my walls with vintage worldly photography, and then getting a map to put above my bed so I can mark all the places I want to visit and dream of travel and the world and the earth every night. My room recently went through a rough patch and barfed on itself, so now I need to clean it.

I've been really inspired by the world and just the naturalness and realness of things. I like things that are raw and uninhibited. I love nature even though I have a bug phobia but I just love the earth. I think that's one reason I'm so fascinated by Native Americans, because rather than conquering the earth like us nasty humans do nowadays, they felt they should respect the earth, and respect the animals and plants surrounding them. They were spiritual and just so fricken awesome. I wish I was part Native American. I wish I could convert to being Native American but that's impossible.

ALSO OMG. I have been so horrible at looking at blogs lately. I'm going to start being a more active blog reader though, especially to those of you who read my blog and we've actually talked and become friends and/or acquaintances! So thanks to all of y'all who actually read my blog regularly because it means a lot and I'm going to start returning the favor!
