I've been looking into getting an iPhone and mobile internet, and I went to the ATT store today to check into it. I'll actually be really sad to move on from my little plastic phone! I love that phone. It's the most reliable and resilient phone of all time. I'm sure I'll like having an iPhone on the road, though. I've already downloaded an app that has a database of over 18,000 campgrounds!
I went to McDonald's yesterday for the first time in years. My little brother got his first job there and he just started working! So we had to go pester him, obviously. It wasn't too terrible, but I'm still no fan of fast food. Sometimes I crave a good ol' burger, fries, and a coke though. I think my choice of fast food would probably be Arby's or Carl's Jr. though. I'm going to try not to eat too much fast food while I'm on the road. It will be interesting to see how my diet changes being on the road. I've been very blessed living at home, eating delicious family meals. When I lived alone my diet was quite limited. Ramen, Mac n Cheese, etc. I have a feeling I'll be returning to those super cheap options in the near future...

Robyn from Rare Treasure was so nice to send me some vintage goodies, one of which was this incredible studded bag. She's got a few more cute bags in her shop right now too! I have an affinity for studs, going back to my more hardcore days as a teen when I used to go to local rock shows with my best friend. I once got us friendship bracelets that were little leather cuffs with a single row of studs. Unfortunately they soon became all the rage and Hot Topic started carrying what seemed like costco-sized quantities of studded crap. Lame. I still have the bracelet and wear it from time to time. Back in the day I literally would only take it off to shower.
Minus the short leather skirt, this is actually pretty close to something I would wear in high school. High school was all about t-shirts and jeans. I like this t-shirt though, it's really comfy and the rocks remind me of Carly Waito's incredibly gorgeous paintings.
On Friday I got my old 35mm Olympus OM-1 fixed! It's been broken for over a year and I just have never gotten around to fixing it. I figured I'd better get it fixed before going on the road. I'm going to want all the cameras I own. I'll have to pick up my Polaroid in Washington too.
I also dropped off the most recent roll from my Holga, so I think it'll be done sometime today! I don't even remember what's on that roll...
Oh, and I dyed my hair a bit darker. Not all of it, just the top part kind of, to blend the dark roots. This will be the first part of my gradual return to darker hair. I kind of want to bleach out my tips too, at some point, and maybe dye them some crazy color. Perhaps that will be when I'm back to black, as it would probably look odd to have reddish hair with blue or green tips. Meh, we'll see. The future looks fun, folks!
I finally got around to doing a little tour video of the Brave, but I did it with my computer's webcam, so it's horrible quality and mirror imaged. I'm going to try and do another one with my brother's video camera so it's not such awful quality and you can get a better look at my future home.
P.S. Happy summer solstice! Up here in Alaska it's quite the party time! Today we had 19 hours and 22 minutes of sun. It's all downhill from here... shorter and shorter days from here on out... Pin It

19 hours of sun - I would go C R A Z Y!!!
Love that tee!
Hot. Love the skirt! Once I get out of work I'll watch the vid! Ooo I'm excited!
Love the outfit! :) And the bag.

It's so amazing how they designed that Brave for optimal storage. I loved the extra pull-out bed design.
By the way, did you just realize the cupboards were magnetized when you made this? It made me laugh because you seemed generally surprised about it.
I can't wait to see your adventures.
Great outfit! The rocks definitely make the t-shirt more than "just a t-shirt." I can't wait for your Winne adventures!
I love your skirt, I was actually inspired by you to buy a (fake) leather mini the other day!
And I am so excited for when you are blogging on the road! All the other blogs I follow are pretty much stationary so I looking forward to some variety.
okay, I adore that bag and must have it now. So precious!!
xoxo, Pretty Shiny Sparkly
Ahhhhh I loved the tour. I'm so excited for you. Make a pit stop to meeee! :)
Have fun during the longest day of the year! I'd be so stoked to experience something like that.
And your tour of the brave was very cool. At first I was like, why is the steering wheel on the right side? but then I read your webcam disclaimer, so all made sense:) I can't wait to see how you document your whole trip!!!
Oh man, I love Arby's! Need to go there pronto, craving some curly fries! I also love Culvers, I think its only a midwestern burger chain, and its death on a bun, but delicious!
I love your boots and its fun to see you in a t-shirt
You should try to get a book deal or something and write about your adventures!
Aw, you have the most gorgeous accent ever! Can't wait to hear more about your travels in September - the Brave is gorgeous, thanks for the tour!
earth vs. the wild heart
what a fun little home on wheels!
I totally just applied for McD's tooo. Seriously hoping I get the job. And, gorgeous Brave. Love the layout. It's big enough without being ridiculous. Awesome!
I now MUST have one!
You should have waited a couple more days for the Iphone 4! Then the 3gs would have been $99 anyways.
Oh well, I guess you could always exchange it....
Love the banner!
When you say burger, fries and shake and you are in Alaska...I think of the best place to go. LUCKY WISHBONE. Ahhh nom nom nom.=) I like the darker roots, I did bright red with black tips once..it looks hot with the curls.
Anon,
I didn't actually buy an iPhone yet. I was just checking into it. I might be getting a iPhone 4 actually, but I'm not sure yet. I'm gonna wait till I'm closer to my trip to get an iPhone.
I love your hair! Can you describe how you did it?
I'm looking forward to watching your gypsy adventures. Wish I could do that, too!
I really love your shirt and thhis leather skirt! You own the coolest leather skirts (how I want a brown/beige one like yours, too)!
I also like what you did with your hair!
You see, basically i love everything about this look :)
Belle:
The color or the style?
The color was originally done at a salon cuz my hair is naturally near-black. Too hard to do myself. To blend my dark roots w/ the red I kinda painted on brownish-red dye kinda like lowlights. I used Natural Instincts dye, which isn't permanent, but I like that it doesn't have ammonia and is less damaging. I think I used the color "roasted chestnut".
As for the style, all I did was straighten my bangs. The rest of my hair is just natural.
Pretty outfit, the skirt looks fab! Nice little video too, its fun to have a sneaky little peak at the brave !
very cool skirt! the brave is pretty darn awesome! i saw one on the side of the road over the weekend, they're so rad! even though i'm partial to VW buses, i would buy a winnebago in a heartbeat (that is, if i had the money :( ) one day....
Gracias for putting up the video! Love it :-). I never get to travel so I can't wait to go with you!
I just thrifted a merle haggard t-shirt and now am convinced I need to wear it with a leather mini. Hmm, wear to find one....
Love this look so much!
And its really cool to finally see a video of the Brave. Seeing and reading your adventures on here is going to be a neat experience for all of us readers and definitely for you too.
I am so jealous of all the sun! I love your outfit, I want a skirt like that sooo bad, It is the perfect length!
I love the Brave tour! I don't think you have an accent, but I do think you sound like Ellen Page when you talk, which is awesome!
you are so adorable! I love seeing more and more of the brave.
And you just made me remember that I have holga film to be developed as well. It's been in there awhile though so I wonder if its still good. I think i'm gonna have to bust her out for my trip to Virginia this weekend!
That studded purse is perfection! And i think i had one of those bracelets you're talking about. a guy friend gave it to me in high school and i wore all the time. I think i still have mine somewhere as well. haha
so cool! i loved seeing the inside of your home on wheels. :) it's in great shape! and sheesh, i cannot believe how long you guys have sun! 19 hours is crazy... that would be kind of cool, though.
Maybe as you get out on the road you'll find people who maintain a good diet? I'm sure it's possible, but probably not as easy as takeaway :P
And 19hrs of sunlight? Places like that are crazy! We don't get anything like that in Austrlia so I find it quite perculiar!
Nice outfit too :)
That skirt is so awesome on you. I really love your tshirt too. I'm always jealous of anyone that can rock a cool tshirt!
Love the video tour. The Brave is one kick arse ride.

I love your outfit and that bag is so cute! what a great find!
Oh stop. I wish this was me so badly.
oh dear, I love your style and blog!
You look so great in this outfit and the Brave looks awesome! I can't get over 19 hours of sun!
p.s. You're going to love the iPhone! It's the best thing ever. You'll never be able to go back to a regular phone after you have it.
that skirt is fantastic on you! and i love the bag. you and your brave are so cute haha.

19 hrs! Thats awesome! The video is pretty cool makes me wish I could go out on the road too!
I love this look! I think you look so cute in more casual, t-shirt oriented outfits. You seem so suited to them. Those boots just round it out so perfectly. :)
Hehehe, I loveee the tour! Ah, it's so amazing!!!
I feel the same about fast food but when it comes to fast burgers, I'm all for In N' Out. I love the skirt and you look great. :)

LOVE your teeshirt, it's awesome.
Elizabeth, your voice is so darn darling! The Brave looks roomy enough for a girl like yourself. I'm so amazed by all the extra bed space.
And of course, hooray for the closet space!

i love the studded bag! i used to be a little punk rocker and loved all things studded myself, but my true punk rock status was kicked up a notch with my seatbelt belt! haha.
@Lexie
haha, I had TWO seatbelt belts!
very nice outfit! great photos and great blog!
I love your hair! :D
She's a beauty! Thanks for the tour!!
Love that Tshirt! and I think you did a really great job on your hair!
I'm so envious of your impending journey - it's going to be amazing. I've never taken an RV trip but my boyfriend spent many a childhood summer going cross country with his family. They have the most amazing stories from it. When his parents visit us they always make it a long crazy RV road trip out.
I really like the length of your leather skirt and that you paired it with a tshirt. I have a leather pencil skirt in my shop but you're totally inspiring me to keep and get hemmed a few inches. hehe
Congrats on your Brave! I can't wait to start reading your posts from the road! My dream is get an old RV and travel anywhere and everywhere. Seeing as that won't happen anytime soon, I'll have to live vicariously through your blog instead. =)
