When love and hate collide

Whenever i wear band tees to school my government teacher Mr. Mckibbon always tells me a story about the band and it's really cool. He's probably one of the coolest teachers i've ever had, and he listens to the same music i do which makes him even cooler. Yeah, he's just all around great.

Today was a good tuesday for no reason at all, but i enjoyed it a whole bunch. Graduation is getting closer and closer which is bittersweet, but more on the sweet side for me. Prom was on saturday by the way and it was probably one of the best nights of my life so far! I actually made my dress so i guess i should put up some pictures pretty soon, yeah :3 I'm looking forward to this summer, and things are going to get much harder after graduation but im trying to mentally prepare myself for adulthood. It's kind of scary to think about. Being on my own and all of that, but im excited so thats a good thing.

I have yet to make my haul videos because i am just super lazy and school has been kicking my butt but im trying to make them asap. Seriously this is no longer a game.

I've gotten back into the habit of making clothes and jewelry which i should never take a break doing being that fashion design is my biggest passion in this world. I just lost tons of inspiration and motivation but im climbing back up that ladder and it feels good to make stuff. It clears my head and gets my mind off of things.

Happy belated earth day y'all, the last few pictures in my floral dress are from yesterday which i forgot to post, oops.

I hope you all have an amazing Tuesday! ~

What a bright time, it's the right time, to rock the night away

 I don't know what it is (Actually I do) but I've been utterly obsessing over the 50's 60's and 70's eras a whole lot more than normal. All of my inspiration lately has been coming from everything revolving around these times. I can't listening to Mickey & Sylvia, The Beach Boys, Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Heart...the list goes on. I'm genuinely obsessed. I'm freaking out because it was all so great. Like I can't handle the feeling I get while listening to music from those era's watching movies, looking at videos, pictures..even listening to people share their experiences from their, it's all so much to take in and I absolutely love it.

Now for all of the Christmas related pictures. I'm in love with vintage 70's Christmas pictures. I just spent like an hour browsing through some and you know how people say "A picture tells a thousand words"? Well yes, look at those people. Really look, don't just glance. Stare at them and imagine what it felt like to be them, with their family, around the ones they loved. They look happy. You can stare into their eyes and see pure joy and happiness. I love that. I love that sometimes their really are times where there is nothing to worry about, and maybe it should be like that all the time. Maybe people shouldn't worry at all. It does no good for you, right? Yeah.

To be completely honest today was one of the best Thursdays I've had at school in quite a while. To start things off, it's Holiday week, hence my red & green wardrobe and my reindeer antlers (Thanks Jared). Today was actually our "Deck The Halls" themed spirit day, which means dressing like it's Christmas time to sum it all up. People came (Mostly my leadership program we're all great) decked out in Santa Hats, Red&Green, Reindeer Antlers, Elves, etc. It was pretty perfect. Our school is also really festive and decorated nice for the first time since I've been in high school. It really feels like the Holiday Season there, which is great because I enjoy the Holidays a lot. 

Half of the time, it's sunny like it's July, but freezing like it January and I think it's really annoying. I hate sunny but cold weather because it just doesn't feel right. I love gloomy, stormy, freezing cold weather man. That's the best. We haven't got a lot of that yet. Oh California, I love you so, don't you know?

I hope everyone had a great Thursday, xx

90's Punk Grunge / Mid 60's Early 70's Hippie era

Like I said before I'm mostly inspired by the 80's fashion era, but something about the Mid 60's early 70's hippie era, and The 90's punk grunge style is so fascinating to me. The way everything is thrown together gives a certain look that I really love. Sky Ferreira is a huge inspiration to me. From her music to her style, she's amazing.

 In a way I've incorporated this to my personal style. I don't even know what to call my personal style. It's a handful of things bunched and jumbled together. That's one reason why I named my blog "Rainbow In The Dark" because I feel like I'm a bunch of different cultures, era's, music, art, everything...someone who's really eccentric and bright in the dark world we live in today. Dark meaning negative, and not so supportive of people who like to branch out and just be their own person.
