That summer feeling

Okay so while I'm learning illustrator and working on my header at once(!) and fussing with the layout, I decided to talk about something essential: bedding.

It is so humid in Chicago and I am full of bodily fluids bellow the bosom. So why am I thinking of buying a bedding set I won't use until the chilly Chicago autumn and winter? Oh, only because it's dreamy and perfect and on sale!

I don't usually buy things from a collection titled "Shabby Chic"(in fact, I hate those words), and after much search for vintage sets, I have not been fruitful. Alas these stole my heart when I saw them at Target last week:



They have very high reviews and they're on sale, with free shipping and if you spend $75 or more on household items, you get $10 off.

Comforter set

Sheets

I'll be visiting Target later today to make sure it is the set I want. I'm such an indecisive girl. This sale ends the 29th and is only available online.

I'm currently writing up posts regarding my favorite ladies, Sierra and Bianca from Cocorosie and Anna Karina's style in Pierrot Le Fou. Now it's time to get a $5 haircut, y'all.

Hello, my name is Ana Karen

I wanted to start this blog off as a thank you to my momma for birthing me and sustaining me, but alas I was such a lazy bum that I put it off for four days.

It is currently 3:54 A.M. in Chicago and I'm awake. As of late, I've really been exploring issues of femininity, adulthood, personal style, and truly, the eve of my womanhood. I shall be twenty one years old at the end of August, and although nothing will change, for some reason, that month seems to have become a due date for me figuring all of those things out. Any previous ideas, and formulated opinions I had about any of those topics seem to be flying out the window, and my brain is eagerly awaiting to be seasoned with time and experiences; at the same time I'm being petty and am hunting for a good eye wrinkle cream. This will probably be poorly written and told in circular storytelling, which I'm quite good at. I would like to use this lovely, free online space to figure out in which physical way I would like to present my womanly self to the world. I am a human and love beautiful things, so such pictured things will make an appearance here as well. Okay, there, after putting it off for...five days? My first official blog post.

Okay, I guess I should say a couple of things about myself, eh?
I want to be a storyteller of the comics kind. Holding the title of cartoonist is my biggest desire. I'm currently in the process of learning French, which I hope ends with me living in France, drawing/teaching comics. I have a nice, nerdy, study group of ladies and am currently making my way through all of Jean-Luc Godard's films(Read: Obsessed).

I think that's it for now as my gross morning breath is starting to get to me and I would like to very much be asleep so I don't notice it.
