the suuun is ouuut.

i hope you've been doing well. i always fail to realise how much i've missed spring until it rolls around again. "S" and i made the most of the weather yesterday and went for an impromptu drive, just look at this. it was a little windy, but it was so beautiful.

lately, i've been trying to be more thoughtful about shopping, particularly for clothing. for me, that means being honest with myself about whether i'll actually wear something or if i just want it for a cheap hit of dopamine... being mindful of materials, too. my family moved house back in november, so i cleared my wardrobe and sold/donated a bunch of clothes i don't actively wear or see myself wearing any longer. cha-ching.

curating my wardrobe and style is something i think i'd like to document? i plan on making a page dedicated to upcycling and fashion in general. i really like clothes, okay... in the meantime, i want to show you a few pieces i've picked up recently. just click the images if you'd like to see them better!

sooo freakin' sick. i typically browse in thrift shops and on the oh so lovely app, vinted. #VintedWarrior. you'd have to pry vinted from my cold, decrepit hands. who doesn't love a good bargain?

apart from that, life's been pretty uneventful. i finish school in ~3 months and if i manage to get the grades needed for my offers, i'll be studying architecture at uni. most of my friends will be moving elsewhere, which i'm trying my best not to dwell on... it's fine, we ball.

have you seen the casting annoucement for the life is strange show? i know a lot of fans have mixed feelings about it, but i'm excited nonetheless. same with the live-action adaptation of look back. i've only ever heard good things about hirokazu kore-eda's work, so i'm stoked. even if it ends up being different from what's expected, i'm sure it'll be an interesting watch. honestly, i'm more preoccupied with preparing myself to get emotionally pummelled for the third time.

there's lots to look forward to! i hope 2026 will be a good year. i'm glad i'm motivated to code again.

take care, callie
