crosstown – kilo kish lyrics

hey guys! first post in a long time.

this is my new favorite song! kilo kish is actually my current  favorite artist.

there are no accurate lyrics online so this is the closest interpretation.

enjoy!

♬  ♪ ♩ ♫

it’s not that i don’t want to
have you
i think you know i have to
grab you
get inside my cab too
after you!
(you pay)

black dress
and the moon shine
candle lit air sounds about right
flipping my hair at the stoplight
high flying
take your time on a rainy day
sipping coffee in a foggy way
can’t clear my brain
know what they say
girls go insane!
(i need my medication)
sunglasses in the evening
cocktails with olives at our meetings
everything’s repeating
come see me!

let’s get real f*cked up
we won’t know which way’s up
crosstown on the bus now
how’s that sound?
urban vacation
take me to a place when
we never mind the looks on their faces!

now that you’re with me
now that you’re with me
now that you’re with me
now that you’re with me

YSL on my lips
put your hand on my hips
leather at the head rest
our sunset
afternoon champgane
collared shirt
and dress plain
take your photo
don’t tag me, though
airport layover
arm across my shoulder
do you know what comes next
but don’t expect
we can get f*cked up
blah blah blah blah

✰ i honestly don’t even know why you would even leave the house, just drink wine and look aimlessly into each other’s eyes ✰

SWEET 16TH JANUARY HAUL

so the 20th was my 16th birthday and it was a blast! even though i was really upset in my last post, things have taken a turn for the better, or at least for now.

i’m really scared that february will suck because i’m always ‘superstitious’ that bad things happen in february, but idk…so far things are okay.

here is a HUGE haul of all the things i bought after christmas that arrived in january in time for my birthday, plus some really old things i forgot to blog c:

super old from octoberish, but here is a free people rayon dot dress i bought off ebay for around $40. i really like it, but the waistband always rides up when i wear it because my torso is short, so i have difficulty styling it…any advice?

this is a pleated lace dress i bought from topshop with a low V back.
i’ve mentioned on my formspring a trillion times that i’ve always wished for this 3.1 phillip lim silk flower and pleat-embellished dress, but it’s $900, so…

but then i saw this lookalike on topshop that i was stalking in case it came back in my size, and luckily it did AND it was on sale for $35 when it used to be $75!! so i jumped to it and i’m glad i did, because it sold out immediately after!

on the site’s stock picture it was more of an ivory but in person it’s tanner. i like it either way tho!

please excuse this absolutely shit quality photo of me wearing it…i look great i know..T_T

this is a house of the gods shirt i bought from urban-eclectric! i saw it on miranda cosgrove and, as you all know very well now, i love her style and when i saw her wearing this i was dying to have it! they are the only site that carries it, and it was on sale, so i bought it :)
house of the gods is one of my new favorite shirt brands, their shirts are such great quality!

the shirt features deborah/debby/debbie harry, aka blondie!

next is a free people ‘we the free’ crocheted jersey shirt. it’s a cool orange color with crocheted sleeves, with little embellished(?) flower things. i really like it!! the black shirt underneath is also free people but i bought that over the summer XD the best part is, it was only $15 and it was originally $110 on the free people site! wooo.

i also bought this minnie mouse shirt from target as a sleep shirt. it’s slightly cropped but i bought it a few sizes larger so it fits loosely! whoopeeee!

my free gift from sephora for my birthday!! it’s a lip duo from the brand fresh. these are the best chapsticks i’ve ever used!! :)

and finally, one of the best purchases i’ve ever made: the lucky brand jeans canvas carry-all bag.
it is so perfect. and gorgeous. and sturdy and huge. i LOVE it. no words, people. no words.

and even though i’m going to make a separate post about my birthday and pics, here are the things my friends gave me as presents :)

ryan higa as hanate! LOL

yeah, i…don’t know. HI PATRICK LOL SO CUTE

i’ll go more in depth about it in my birthday post, but it’s ironic that i got a forever 21 giftcard because i got kicked out of forever 21 on my birthday!! like i said, another time :)

‘remedial’ because one of my friends apparently has a different present that is in the mail or something? idk haha!

so derpy i love it!

such a pretty bracelet, i love turquoise!

okay, SUPER AWKWARD AND FUNNY STORY ABOUT THIS PICTURE!!!!
so one of my friends and i have the same birthday, and we basically became friends last year because we found that out. so sometimes at lunch when we’re bored we go to the library to watch SNL skits or jimmy fallon snippets because we’re really popular. and so i recently showed her the thank you notes segment of jimmy fallon and she LOVED IT! (who doesn’t!) and so i bought her this book and kept telling her i had a surprise present for her, and then randomly she told me she had a surprise present for me that was coming in the mail.

so then the monday after my birthday, we exchange presents, and mine is wrapped around the book but her present to me is wrapped in like 5 boxes so that i wouldn’t know what it was, and…

WE GOT EACH OTHER THE SAME THANK YOU NOTES BOOK BY JIMMY FALLON!

TROOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLLLOL. it was LEGIT the weirdest and stupidest thing that has ever happened to me. many lols were had that morning.

anyway. so one of my friends followed a collar tips DIY by honestly WTF and made me these cool pins that attach to your collar!! they look really awesome with my flannels.

thanks for reading this haul post! i promise i’ll be more interesting in the next few weeks.

please subscribe/follow! love all of you

pixie knitwear geometric sweater!

here’s a sweater i ordered a month ago or so that i never got around to posting!

i didn’t really feel like posting them but i had such a shitty day that it seems like there’s nothing better to do…:(

this is a sweater i specially ordered from pixieknitwear.com; they are the SWEETEST company EVER!

i basically found the sweater in only M/L on modcloth.com, and after contacting them wondering if they had any more smalls, they directed me to pixie knitwear directly.

at first, i contemplated ordering the M/L, but i saw a photoshoot of the jumper on the modcloth blog and felt like asking the girl in the photos for a more honest answer, since i knew that modcloth would obviously just tell me to order the jumper from them. i emailed vicki, blogger for themagpiegirl.com, and she told me she had a S/M and it was already pretty large. therefore, M/L was out of the question.

so i emailed the company pixie knitwear and asked them if they had anymore, since their site said they were sold out. lo-and-behold, vicky responded back to me (not the same vicky! this one works at pixie knitwear XD), and told me she had one more for me!! they immediately put it on the site, but i couldn’t afford it and the next day they took it down. i thought someone had bought it and was terrified, but turns out they took it down so no one else would snatch it up! :) so they put it back up for me and i was able to purchase it.

i LOVE how they call it a jumper!

anyway, it arrived really quickly in about a week. that’s fast to me, seeing as they’re from the UK! and after shipping it was around $45, and it was like $30 or so. i kinda forget, i ordered it a few weeks ago!

anyway, check out their shop, facebook, and twitter!

indie (or typography?) tote bags?!?!

hey all! i’m backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk haha. finally finished up everything on the other blog i was working on, which is (once again) called MirandaStyleSource!

anyway, not the point of this post.

i’ve been noticing those indie tote bags everywhere! either with cute drawings on them, or obscure sayings on them.

nonetheless…i still want them. @___@

here are some from ‘veryawesomeworld‘–i LOVE the slumber party one! :3

they’re all hand dyed. kewl. and the poems are by dallas clayton, whom i believe owns the store.

the first one says:

The light from a basement window
as seen from the street
past two AM
can mean many things
my favorite of which
is that someone is fast at work
changing a life that once was
into a life that might soon be.

second one says:

SLUMBER PARTY

Your life
was once so care free
that you combined sleeping
and partying into a single event.

third one says:

REVISED YOUR TO DO LIST

Be a famous musician.

Be a famous act or.

Be a famous write r.

Be a famous basketball player.

Be famous.

so yeah, pretty freaking awesome. go buy them now for $25! :D

i also really like this ‘thunder is in our hearts’ tote from fieldguided on etsy.

it’s unbleached hand printed, and apparently very huge!

she has lots more with cute reads on them. check it out:

her totes range from $15-$20. buy them here now!

i think i already posted about it, but i was SO happy that my local kate spade store was restocked with the japan tote bags. i grabbed one as soon as i saw it! it’s really cute, i just hang it in my room and i’ve used it once for a debate conference. it’s very cute!

get it? ‘spade heart japan‘ :3

“kate espade new york supports japan”

so that’s about it! i’m going to see harry potter thursday night at midnight for my friend’s 16th birthday, so i’ll post pics from that and get back to updating this blog! :3 (i feel so bad…the only reason i realized i hadn’t posted on the blog is when i noticed the statistics for my blog were drastically falling…u_u”)

ta-ta for now!
