houston is heating up and the time has come. the time to throw those black skinny jeans on the back burner (yikes) and bring out the shorts + tanks. a little terrifying to part ways since i have 4 pairs of the same black jeans that i pretty much wear daily but it is totally necessary to brave this weather. below are bits and pieces of things that i need, shoes that i love and wear daily (regardless of season), a natural gloss that care for my lips, and an easy throw on tee that will never do me wrong. ( Smiley Cut Off Shorts by LL, dirty sneaks, a simple lip by X. + a basic tee ) easy + breezy. what are your favorite spring/summer wears?

bang bang, h-town

days feel like whirlwinds and i am just a piece of scrap whirling around. i am constantly learning new things and meeting new people; doing new jobs and venturing out. so much to see; so little time. this is true. i’ve never felt so excited about learning and just … doing. but i also have never felt so tired

one of the many adventures today after school, jewelry repairs, splashing in puddles, and so on…. involved a girl, ink, a silkscreen, and a squeegee. finally, i broke in the silkscreen (DIY style) that a very inspiring individual gifted me. i think we did a trade or something, but he had this custom made with our Abbie Drue Designs logo by his friend Sean of Caught in Customs…..ramble… and it was a success. i banged out 20 tees. they were mostly white with black print and then black with a pink and grey mix. my friend was a little hesitant on letting me mix the colors because he didn’t think it would show up well but it turned out nice. thanks G1.

action. action. action. people, get up. act. do. create. learn. share.

i heard from an old friend today who is pursuing her passion for photography while going to school in arizona. i remember the last time we were together, we were at her house probably in 6th or 7th grade, wearing rubber bracelets from Hot Topic, had mouths full of metal, getting high on redbull, pizza, and life,all while rocking out to Greenday’s American Idiot album and scribbling our names (and possibly our lovers) on her bedroom wall. did i mention we thought we were really cool? because we did – and we totally were. anyway, we have decided to do a little art swap. i’m sending her a custom ADD stone necklace in return for a MH photography print. it was really hard to only pick one but after browsing through pages of photos i finally found one. if you check out Madeleine Hanlon Photography here or on Flickr you’ll be able to see why! here are some of my favorites.
