Welcome back to where i'm going to have you.

I literally took this picture, right outside my apartment, and this is how it came out; really bright! So I took another pic and played around with it in my photo editor and then..nothing. This is the best that I could do. 
 
It really just looks like I am glowing, lol. Even Louie is glowing :)  Anyways, the top was another thrifted one from Regeneration. It was $6, and the skirt was from Salvation army for $1.

I will never fall in love with you."

My band of choice today is Shiny Toy Guns. I Lurve them. I discovered them from a friend of mine, Clare, back when I worked at Best Buy. I bought the CD "We are pilots" right away and memorized all of the songs because I played it so much. My friends Dan, and Meridith liked them too, and being as though Kyle had no choice, we all went down the Magic Stick in Detroit to see them play. They rocked the place, and they even came out to sign autographs and take pictures with everyone. That was about three years ago.

 *I actually took this one!!-sometimes, it's okay for guys to wear makeup :) 

There music can be described as "Indie, rock, electronica."  I can't tell you my favorite song because I love everyone one on "we are pilots".  Carah Faye Charnow replaced original vocalist Ursula Vari – for the second album "Season of poison".  This originally bummed me out entirely when I found out. I still have not bought "Season of poison" because it was out on the back-burn for so long. Recently, I have been listening to them from their myspace and lastfm.com and I have to say that I might be getting a copy of it now. Just in time for me to get psyched about an EP they are releasing this summer :)

I like how you knotted the front of your shirt. Have you ever tried picnik.com? It's a photo editing site and they have some features that are free. It's really cool since I'm not all that well versed in Photoshop.

I love that shirt. And I like shiny toy guns too. Didn't know anyone else knew them other than Dave and I!

love your skirt

I'm glad you now like the decemberists. They're a really genius band, but there is so much going in their songs/ so many songs that they can be hard to get into because you have no idea where to start. I always find a new song of theirs strikes me each month it seems. There will always be favorites but they definitely have the ability to grow on you!

Your top is so cool! I love the print.

And I remember listening to Shiny Toy Guns ages ago... their first demo or something back in seventh grade. Wow. I still feel so young haha.

I'd never heard of Shiny Toy Guns before, but it sounds like something I would have listened to in High school (Judging by the Ricochet vid). I'm more into mellow acoustic stuff now :) So excited for you though - I love when you don't buy a band's stuff and by the time you do they have something else coming out straight away :D

Gorgeous outfit. $7? You lucky thing! Oh I can't wait until you get your SLR! Have a great weekend Sara :)

I've been sort of obsessed with "Don't Cry Out" since it came out all those years ago....(which I think is actually only like 3?)

Love all the colors in your blouse! You toned it down nicely with the neutral skirt.

A total douchebag ruined Shiny Toy Guns for me. They put on a good show though!
