on the fence



Knox

I've long since given up on saving up for the balenciaga bag. At the moment, I just can't justify spending 1k+ on a bag. The Roan bag, by knox is significantly more in my price range, but still expensive for a broke student ($600).

On the other hand, I'm in dire need of a sturdy, functional everyday bag. And this bag is just so damn sexy. Hm.

Can it be winter now? Pretty please?

vacation recap


To sum it all up, seattle was cool, alaska was beautiful. Both were super COLD (around 50-60 degrees F), which was weird for me cause I'm used to scorching hot augusts.

So even though I brought my slr to vacation with me, I was WAY too lazy to lug it around with me so I just resorted to using my crappy little point-and-shoot camera.

If you're in seattle, definitely check out the underground vintage mall in pioneer square. Though it might be a bit pricier, it's worth checking out as it literally is room after underground room of antiques and random old paraphernalia.




And, Alaska was just...alaska? It was pretty unpopulated, as I expected. Most towns are completely landlocked, and have fewer than 2,000 people living there. As much of a no man's land that it was, I guess it largely contributed to the charm of the state. Seriously, I'll let these pictures speak for themselves.







Heres a crappy little video I compiled. It MAY give you a seizure. I have shaky hands.
