keep on singing

Hey Everyone!!!

Guess who is moving on up?? This girl!! I've recently undergone a huge inspiration...flux...? We'll go with that. So I have moved the blog onto it's own domain!! It's so amazing. So if you would be so kind as to keep reading my blog over there I would be sooooo grateful.

It's a simple move...just take the blogspot out of the address! Keep On Singing is now just keeponsing.com.

So, my friends always know when I'm on a YouTube binge again because I always get VERY girly VERY quickly. I go from jeans and a basic tee to skirts and heels overnight. Needless to say, I am on a kick right now and I saw Ingrid (or missglamorazzi) wearing the adorable mid from DailyLook and now I freaking want it!!!

I adore how Ingrid styled in on DL!!!

I don't even really know how I would even begin to style this after that...maybe a pair of high tops and a crop top or some heels and a flannel tee tied over a tank top. I'm just love it!!

If you guys have any ideas on how to style it post them below because with how much I plan on wearing this, I can use all the help I can get!

If you don't know who Alex Goot is...you should remedy this immediately. You can look him up on Spotify or the YouTube, then sit back and prepare to be amazed. Not only does he have a nice little collection of amazing songs that he wrote, but his covers are just breath taking interpretations...yes, even one's like Call Me Maybe.

This Music Monday is about one of his original songs titled "Brain Dead" of his new album 'Wake Up Call'.

I don't know what draws me into this song more: the catchy beat in the intro, Alex's crisp clear vocals, or the lyrics that show how damaged people can get in relationships without realizing it.

"I have no clue how I'm with you
And I've started to realize
I've been brain dead all this time."

It's such a paradox to me because the song itself is so upbeat despite that lyrics intention when you really listen.

I still adore it though...I would go so far as to say it's my favorite off his new album...

But be sure to check out the whole thing!! Let me know which is your favorite!

So...you'll learn I love a good alliteration such as 'wardrobe wanted' and 'music monday'....

The first piece of clothing for my dream closet or what I want in my wardrobe are these amazing pair of suspenders. They are a high waisted black denim pair with front and back pockets. You can never have enough pockets right? The straps are a faux leather and adjustable.

There are just so many options of ways to wear them! Above you see them as pictured on DailyLook which are perfect day ways to wear them in the city. If I were to wear them to the beach I'd add a flowery crop top like this one.

For an evening look I'd wear a green dressy top like this one, then add a pair of heels.

So Music Monday is my new thing...let's give it a whirl shall we?

I'm going to start with my personal song of the summer: 'Good Girl' by 5 Seconds of Summer. These Aussie boys had me at 'She Looks So Perfect'. It was hard to picture myself with a boy who didn't wear American Apparel underwear after that....

However, their newest song 'Good Girl' is just too damn catchy.

I'll admit it is a little cliche about the girl next door being a bad girl when no one is looking. Yet, these boys still make the story fun and exciting. You can't help but dance along when you hear it, I promise.

Once I heard the line tag line: "good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught," I switched my Spotify to repeat it over and over until I had the song memorized.

I hope you enjoy the first song of Music Mondays! Be sure to tweet me your personal song for the summer with the hastag #MusicMonday !!

Hey guys! So yesterday I took a little trip with my roommate Courtney and our friend Nick....to Six Flags Magic Mountain!!! It was our first trip there of the year (me and Courtney have memberships ;D ).

If you live in the LA area I suggest going now until school let's out and go during the week. The longest we waited in line was fifteen minutes! It was amazing. We got lucky also because the weather was sooo warm yesterday. It was a total coincidence that the day we planned to go the temperature ended up being in 80s. It was perfect!

On to the pictures!

Oh! I also got my hair ombre'd recently!

Our first ride of the day!

Courtney found her ride ;D

Gotta make sure no one is watching!

Worst ride ever!! It hurt so bad...never again.

My favorite ride in action! Tatsu!

Superman is a close second though.

And that was my Monday! I hope you're Monday was just as awesome! And I'll see you guys later! <3

BAM! All the stuff I needed for the recipe (which I will post at the end)! I did use almond milk and all purpose flour instead and they turned out fine!

BEFORE!

AND AFTER!

While they cooled, I whipped up the frosting. It wasn't as thick as I would have liked, but it tasted fine. I find taste is always more important than how it looks.

The finished product!!

Doing taxes = Stupid Annoying!!

Don't get me wrong, seeing that number of money at the end was great. The process leading up to it definitely goes under the bane of my existence.

This was my first year filing them for myself. My mom, the brilliant CPA she is, always did them for me in the bast. Even though she did say she would do them this year too, I decided I should do them myself. You have to man up and learn one day.

So I went to the internet and TurboTax.

Signing up was free which was great! I did the free edition since I'm still a student.

It was annoying as all get out to gather all the paper work necessary to file taxes. W2. 1098. For me, being the anti-confrontational girl I am, I had to man up. I had a job and school I'd left to get information from. I did not want to have to talk or go down there.

All I can say is praise jesus that the job had electronic requests and I had saved all my financial paperwork from school.

Oh! I forgot to mention, I've moved twice this year so my current job didn't have my current address! Once I got that fixed I had everything I needed to start.

Phew!

As I answered the questions and filled out the information, all I could think how glad I was to not be too much of a grown up quite yet. Some of my "simplified" questions were tricky. What if I had a dependent? Or owned a house? Or stock? I shiver at the thought of filling out those questions.

I pushed through and finally got everything filed. Just waiting for that check to come now. Although I feel like I already have it spent with the list of big girl things I have to use it to buy or pay off!!

Guys, I totally dropped the ball and I'm on my knees begging forgiveness! I haven't posted in weeks it feels like (cause I haven't)!! [ Insert ALL the sad emoji's here! ] I have just had a dumb about of shit going on in the past couple of weeks, but I promise this is me getting on the ball about my posts!

Currently, I am working two jobs....that's right! I got the Sprinkles job!! I am now a cupcake counter associate at the original Sprinkles bakery in Beverly Hills! It is so much fun you guys. I don't even mind getting up at 6 o'clock in the morning to go to my opening shifts! I'm slowly making my way through trying all the cupcake flavors, but I feel like it's going to take forever because there are sooooo many!

So, that is my excuse for dropping the ball: opening shifts at Sprinkles followed by closing shifts at Grauman's has been wearing my ragged. Phew.

Also, like an idiot, I have sprained my foot. So now I'm hobbling around both jobs like a crazy person. Slowly but surely it's getting better. I just need to take better care of it. I won't stop moving on it though, so that means it's gonna take even longer to heal which is not okay. Why you ask?

I have my first real dance audition coming up in 9 days at Universal Studios! I miss dancing so much, and I've always wanted to do it as more than just a class here and there. I'm so out of practice though, not having really danced in over a year, and now with my foot...oh jeez! I'm still going to go, and at least let them see my face. Who knows what will happen?! It'll be fun at least!

So that, is just my quick little update and my pledge to get back on the horse with the posting thing! I am going to even bake cupcakes later today for my 25 Weeks of Cupcakes. Of course that will be before I go see 300: Rise of an Empire tonight. Cupcakes and violence...sounds like a typical day for me actually, lol.

Thanks for letting me ramble about my life to you guys and I'll talk to you later!!! <3

This will be the second year that we have gone to Vegas for Courtney's big day. So I thought I'd do a this weeks post about what I packed, etc!

Originally I was going to do a packing post, and then a photo diary for the time in Vegas. However, I have to face the fact that I am a shitty vacation photographer. I'm never one to stop and take photos of the scenery. Plus, I always forget to stop and take pictures when we're all together and having a good time.

So I thought I would still do the two separate posts, but be prepared...the pictures you'll see in the next post are not mine lol.

This was my outfit for the first night; we went to TAO and TRYST. Tank Top from Old Navy | Skirt from Forever 21 | Shoes from ShoeDazzle | Necklace from AE

Extra outfit I didn't end up wearing, lol Dress from Forever 21 | Tank top from Old Navy | Shorts from H&M | Shoes are Vera Wang

My outfit I wore Friday night to the show, just with a few changes. I wore the tights and shoes from next picture. Dress from Forever 21 | Watch from Target | Necklace from Charming Charlies

Another extra outfit...you can never have too many options! Button Up and tights from Forever 21 | Shorts from Urban Outfitters | High Top Converse

Outfit for the drive home!! Shirt from H&M | Tank Top from Old Navy | Jeans from American Eagle | TOMS shoes

Jackets for the cold and it rained on Friday D: Jackets from Forever 21 | Beanie was a gift

Sleepy time wear!! Black leggings from Simply Vera | Gray Leggings from Jack Wills | Hot Chelle Rae band tee | Hobbit tee

Bathroom things!

Make Up!! Minus the ridiculous amount of lipstick I took.

Originally I planned to do my 25 Weeks of Cupcakes every other week, but I have a lovely little trip coming up at the end of the month. So I thought I would do it now, and do a packing post next week.

My roommate Courtney's favorite is funfetti. After she suffered through my tart pink lemonade ones, I thought I would give her a treat ;D

So, I went to one of my favorite baking blogs, Sally's Baking Addiction. She has amazing recipes, and they are all from scratch. You should definitely check it out! I made her Easy Funfetti Cupcakes! <3 #25Funfetti
