April Diaz Dreams of a Girl’s World
Young April Diaz, who sported short hair, a unibrow, and a mustache (claiming her mom felt waxing was unnecessary), was inspired by muses that brought out her inner child: Lizzie McGuire, Zoey 101, That's So Raven, and Tumblr. They never failed to remind her of the glitter and pink and slumber parties she was missing out on. After growing up as an outsider and being raised in a
strict Hispanic family, April created Girlsworld512 to rejuvenate the teenage nostalgia she never had, for she believed that you don't need to look a certain way to feel girly or like the color pink. Everyone is welcome at Girlsworld512. Except for boys, of course.

October Mix
"I wish that every day was Saturday and every month was October." — Charmaine J. Forde
Wearing: Long skirts, dark nail polish, silver glitter eyeshadow, silver rings, knee-high boots, tank tops, getting my tan on, button down sweaters, baggy jeans, slick back ponytails, embracing my glasses, hair in braids, and bootcut jeans.
Reading: Everything I Know about Love by Dolly Alderton, A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare, The Conscious Closet by Elizabeth L. Cline, Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, and Arabian Nights
Doing: Taking the long way to class so I can walk by Waller Creek, going on long drives, cutting my hair shorter, drinking a lot of Red Bull, so much homework, trying to live in the moment more by saying “yes” to as much as I can, going to concerts, and spending as much time as possible outside.
Feeling: Like I’m in a daze, constantly in between being sick and being well, so busy I can’t find the time to be annoyed with the heat or the blisters on my feet, in tune with Lorde’s Melodrama, in love with being busy, beyond busy and overwhelmed, but thankful for all the new experiences I’ve been having, groovy; I’ve landed on all the right music this month.
