this is halloween, halloween, halloween




 this is my pumpkin, her name is Suzy

Haaaappy Halloweeeeeeen

all jokes about taking candy from strangers aside, 
I love Halloween

Costumes, awesome makeup, oh and candy 

What're you dressing up as?
note: if you say "miley cyrus", you're disowned

And yes, I still trick or treat.
no shame in my game

Then I'll probably sit on my couch in a sea of Milky Way wrappers
and watch Hocus Pocus, Charlie Browns The Great Pumpkin, 
and the Nightmare Before Christmas in quick succession.

there are other nights to party with friends, nights without so many amazing themed movies

And of course, the most important thing about Halloween:
There's only 54 days until Christmas!

Justina

stars and sequins and status updates





 you wish your dog was this snuggly

I was trying to be creative and artsy while celebrating the new purchase of a tripod 

can I get a hallelujah up in here

 It mainly worked until the wall which I was leaning against was connected to the floor that had Rex's food/water on it and he decided he wanted to get at that.

gosh dog, no appreciation for art

But I think that really, deeply, subconsciously, I just wanted to write a post. 
It's been forever, hasn't it? 
I  do apologize, but I did make this youtube video.

During my radio silence 
(why do we say this, radios are never silent?) 
                                                               I have been productive.

Coming this winter to the only A Bent Piece Of Wire there is


1. Lots of new-things-that-may-or-may-not-be-polished-up-versions-of-old-things
2. The 2013 A Bent Piece Of Wire Awards (no statuettes, but possible candy)
3. Me wearing the same sweater multiple times while attempting to pass it off as a different outfit.

How excited are you?

Get the hot chocolate machine in order, 
it's about to get real.

xx,
Justina 

note to self:
What do you call a person who is pro at alliteration? 
Must figure out asap and have ribbon printed to present to self.

instant gratification


 yay huburts * sulley wishes he was as scary as me* future home* yes I'm that tall* 
this dress * carslandcarslandcarsland* THEY MAKE GLITTERY EARS* it glowed. that's all.


I love this camera like a child. 

As I have previously mentioned, 
I have wanted a mini instax since B.o.B released his "Airplanes" video. 
'sup 2010
When Fujifilm offered me one to review,
I burst into a celebratory dance moment to the song

It was completely worth the wait. 
This camera is everything I hoped it would be. 
I initially was worried that the shape
(it's the Fat Amy of cameras)
 would make it a  bit cumbersome to carry around, 
but it's actually super light, 
and easy to slip into everything but a clutch. 
Or if you're not a purse person,
 and have strong faith in thick pieces of string, 
there's a wrist strap for you to precariously dangle it from.

 The prints are adorable, and turn out way clearer then I expected. 
They're the perfect size, and more rectangular than square, 
which is good for shooting stuff like people  and castles and ice cream cones.

I took it with me on vacation, and so can vouch for it's Justina-proofing. 
I dropped it,
several times, 
 in a pile of sand, 
on a boardwalk,
into a palm tree.
don't ask. 
The plastic shell a. absorbed it and b. was really easy to clean off.

The only thing I had an issue with was the settings
 but that was more due to me being a bad judge of high sunlight v. low sunlight
I think it's really cool how polaroid cameras have evolved in the important ways, 
while still retaining what makes them a classic. 
They've also come fast and hard as an "old" thing 
into fashion blogging, which is a relatively new industry. 
Even the way the camera looks takes it from being just a tool to making it an accessory. 


It's an amazing way to capture moments and make them physical. 
You can look at a print a week later, a month, a year, and it all comes flooding back: 
the sounds, the lights, the laughter. 
It's a special kind of man-made magic.

Now I just wish I could work some magic on my wallet. 
The one true con of this camera is that the film is rather pricey, 
                                            running for about $13-$20 for 10 color prints.
 I recommend factoring in at least two "practice" shots.
(see: settings)

To top it off, it makes a really satisfying "rrrrRRrr" noise while it's printing your photo.

Total package.

xx,
Justina

surpise it's a disneyland

















I'm moving into Carsland and no one can stop me.

My surprise trip was to Disneyland!!

My parents are goooood.

  It was absolutely amazing, and perfect and just generally wonderful. 
No one does magic like Disney.

 We also went to visit the American Apparel factory + flea market,
which was the realization of so many tumblr dreams for me.
Only there is it acceptable to photograph every sign you see.

We went to Venice Beach, 
where there were people whose arms were the size of my entire body, 
and to Hollywood, 
where there were people whose body was the size of my arm.

I got to stalk around outside the Chateau Marmont,
 aka my future home
and we went to Solvang, 
which is an actual Danish village in the central valley 
where we ate danish's made by actual Danish people.
and they were good.

Last but not least, we went to Pismo Beach, 
which was an ok beach as far as beaches go, 
but GURL THAT CLAM CHOWDER

If you are in Pismo Beach, 
do yourself a favor, 
go to the Splash Cafe and EAT.

That is all.

I love traveling,
 but home is where the wifi is.

xx,
Justina

ps. thank you so much for all the incredibly sweet birthay wishes, I love you all. 
*muah*
