it was a sweet one

lecturing the bystanders........listen up kids....

no, i'm not talking about me, but thanks. last night 2 of my most fabulous girlfriends had a sleep over. (yes i said girlfriends, my mom constantly says that when she's talking about a friend or friends that happens to be a girl.......i hate it...i guess it rubbed off on me) any who, it started off with me walking through the door and instantly wanting to make sweet potato fries. since i'm the most domesticated friends, i said i kindly offered. sweet potato fries are seriously the best tasting snack. ever. so we made our way to the store, grabbed everything and any that made our mouth water and walked out the door. now of course i couldn't eat half the crap you crave when you're having a sleep over. and why yes your taste buds change you when have a sleep over, didn't you know that?

dad's day

(Dress: last summer's find. Sweater: F21. Shoes: Payless. Watch: Gifted)

this is my dad, some say we look alike, some say we don't at all. we both like to sleep way too much, and have left hand-handed traits. red spring chicken is our favorite, and taking these apart and putting them back together for the fun of it, is what we do. we have the same eyes, and the exact stubborn personality. we can be uptight, but share a love for dogs and Kennedy meadows. 

dad i love you.

can we talk?

(shirt: thrifted. shorts: ross. shoes: TOMs. sunnies: sf random store. purse: denmark.)

about how ive been looking like a complete disaster lately? my reasoning, i'm vegan and it's summer. i'm so lame. do you like my shirt though? it's from some cool thrift store in LA. 

dialogue of the day:

e-erica

b-brother

m-momma

e: "tarvissssss!!! come take my photos for the fence...love you forever!"

b: "i'm not taking any pictures of you, you dont need them today!"

e: "yeah i do, come downstairs......don't you want my blog to be successful? it needs to be consistent...seriously get down here tarvis!"

b: "you're so lame erica...."

m: "you need to start paying him......"

seriously? since when do i need to pay my little brother to take some little photos...that's what brothers are for. i mean that's what i signed up for when signed the 'little brother why are you here' papers.....

have a fabulous saturday!

p.s yes i did call my brother tarvis....spelled.. t-a-r-v-i-s......so much cooler than his actual name, of boring travis.

growing up

Shirt: Macys. Short: American Apparel. Sandals: Rainbows.

i may have a job. i know i know, i should have had one years ago...but today i have a interview/turn in my resume kinda deal. i'm excited, obviously this means i can finally start doing something for myself. which also means more responsibility...okay this is turning into a really boring post.


today i hung out with my brother and little cousin. it was such a fun day. lunch and a movie...hiding from the heat, yes you caught me. we walked around, talked, and giggled. have i told you all yet that i'm now vegan? yeah, drastic right? that's what everyone is saying, but i'm telling you, no acid reflux, no heartburn, no stomach pains at all. it's truly amazing, what changing your diet can do to your every day life.

these awesome American apparel shorts i'm just lovin. my friends don't though, they hate them.

and some days when i can't decide how i wanna wear my shorts i pout...

ice caps in a far away land

sometimes i press the 'new post' button, and i sit wondering what i'm going to write about. still, i have no idea what i should write about. life seems to just be still, nothing too exciting, in fact the only cool thing right now is that my mom can't get our air conditioning to stop...seriously. i personally love it, saying i love cold weather is an understatement, having your house, let alone my room continually be 64 degrees is the best. she's freaking out of course, "the bill is going to be insane...wjdhghsfgasduyfghs." 

so perhaps i'll talk about the weather, and how it's forced me to wear close to nothing lately. it's true people, yesterday i was by the pool. for those of you who are new, i hate water. my reasoning is because i was on a swim team for 769876 years, water just isn't fun for me like it used to be. when others are dying to do a cannon ball, i would rather be reading a book or hanging out by ice caps in some far away land. i'm so sarcastic.

the other day when my brother and i returned from our road trip with my grandparents, my momma wanted to take us out to dinner. so we did. of course i was gross from sitting in a car for 6 hours, but i threw on my new maxi dress, tied a little cover up around it, and paired it when the famous 'city walk' GAP flats.

strap boy

strap boy is a name that we gave my brother our first night in the hotel...see he has to use a roll away bed, and since the weather has been outta control, we thought it would be a good idea for the little thing to strap himself in. you know just in case a tornado came.......you're not laughing are you?.... maybe it was a 'had-to-be-there' sorta moment. we were all laughing, i'm so funny.

any who, i'm in a road trip with my grandparents, brother and cousin. it's already been a hoot of a trip!

i'll be updating you each day, i'm taking tons of pictures...

first stop: Chukchansi Casino

a little pit stop before LA.

They couldn't figure out the AC....he heater was on for 5 minutes before they figured it out....

why are they so cute?

AHHHHHH brother!
