Wearing: Top- Homemade  Skirt- Forever21  Shoes- thrifted  #teenvogue

First things first..

• Broccoli Sprout Hair= when your hair is in such a high ponytail your mom says you look like a sprout of broccoli.
• I put way too many ties on my top, please excuse my bow obsession.
• and to give you an Iggy reference, I'm the realest.

Considering I haven't posted since November, 

I owe you a huge apology,

which I'm going to give to you in the form of a list telling you exactly how to bring back the broccoli sprout hair.

1)  Buy a scrunchie.

2)  Pull the top half of your hair (where you make your part in the morning) back with your hands.

3)  Pull it up so that this section is sticking straight up.

4)  Tie it with a hair tie first, then a scrunchie if you want it to last all day.

5)  Ask your mom if you look like a sprout of broccoli, and, if your mom isn't home, check your fridge for broccoli.

Until next November (it's okay, I'm just kidding),

How to Style Faux Fur

How to Style Faux Fur by inhalingfashion-1 featuring gold jewellery

Peter Pilotto coat / Cynthia Rowley print pants / Zara kitten heel flat / Elsa Peretti gold jewellery / Movado stainless steel bracelet

Okay this is literally the cutest outfit ever if I had actual money I would buy this so fast.

That sentence was so unprofessional..

Oops.

Reasons why this outfit is perfect for Winter:

1. It's totally warm, and it's still cute.  That's pretty hard to achieve, especially when it's 20 degrees outside right now.
2. It's a whole lot better than wearing another giant sweater and jeans every day.
3. You get to wear a watch and watches are handy and a great accessory, making every outfit look polished.
4. I LOVE THE BRACELET BUT IT'S LIKE 384579123489547 DOLLARS
5. Sorry about #4
6. The pants work really well with the overcoat and a pair of basic heels keep it fresh and clean looking without under-dressing the look.

I promise, a new shoot to come soon!  Hang in with me, and please enjoy this fun GIF that Google+  magically made of one of my recent shoots.

Black is Baack

sweater- Target, jeans- Bullhead, Shoes- Steve Madden #teenvogue #black #modern

You heard me, 

black is baack..

and more fabulous then ever.

Black has always been somewhat of a statement color.

Whether a black pinky nail, or *gasp* black lipstick, (yes, it does exist, and I do own it), black always seems to draw glances in your direction.

It used to be practically a crime,

anyone who dared to wear black was labeled as a punk or a goth,

and shunned from sleepovers and parties and even lunch groups just because they dared to wear black.

Over the past 25 years or so,

 things have loosened up,

diversity has become more of a positive than a negative,

and people have all together eliminated the words goth and punk from their vocabularies.

A person wearing black is simply making a statement.

It's a statement of:

"I want to be seen.  I am modern,  I am strong, and I am fierce."

Some people,

however,

are not comfortable making such a statement.

Not everyone wants to stick out in a crowd, even in a good way.

I get that,

I used to be one of those people.

It takes years really, or for some, maybe just a day or two of thinking,

what am I hiding from?

Maybe your hiding from those sideways glances in the halls that trigger that little bit of insecurity right inside you,

or maybe there's a boy that makes you so shy you just want to disappear, and black just won't help you do that.

Think about it.

All your life you'll be faced with judgmental looks and boys that give you butterflies,

but it doesn't mean you have to spend your entire life hiding from them, and hiding from black.

Sweaters, Socks, & A Cactus

 

 excuse my "Sherlock Holmes" shoes, they've had a tad bit too much wear.. #teenvogue

I've been very controversial about sweater dresses lately.

They're super cute, and they keep your shoulders and tummy warm,

but your legs freeze.

I FOUND THE SOLUTION! 

FUZZY SOCKS!

And especially in fun bright colors or patterns.

Fun Tip:

If you can't keep your legs warm, 

keep your feet warm,

and your entire body will feel instantly warmer.

I find it so difficult to style my shoes in the fall/early winter because it's so cold that you want to cuddle up in boots every day, but boots get rather boring after awhile and so do jeans.

I got this neutral pair of what I call "Sherlock Holmes" shoes, they're super warm (and they're actually mens, I thought I'd try out a masculine look this Fall) and they add a sense of heaviness and punk-ness to every outfit.

Is punk-ness a word? Am I making up words now? In that case, fabulicious is a word now too..

Feeling Crisp

I for one am happier than anyone that wearing pajamas outside of your house is now okay, 

because I've really been taking advantage of it.

I mean, every day this week I've worn fabulous pajama suits and felt like a million bucks.

 So happy with life lately.. 

Trying to decide which shoes to wear with the suit was a major conflict.

Blue, or pink/orange?

Well blue's just so matchy,

and pink/orange's so pop.

I try to go out of the box with my outfits, because who wants to go to school in predictable clothes?

I never colored inside the lines, and I'll never dress inside them either.

I figure,

if I wear neon pink shoes and pajamas to school,

then maybe that shy girl in my math class will think 

'Hm. Maybe I can wear my fancy heels to school.  I mean, no ones giving her a hard time for it, so maybe I can dress up tomorrow and I'll be happy like her.'

That's what it's all about.

Showing a little bit of confidence even if you feel a tad bit weird in what you're wearing,

to show someone else that they can be confident in whatever they wear too.

I want every girl in the world to glow with confidence when they walk out the door in the morning,

and feel absolutely fabulous every day.

 

NACHOS (and others)

I recently took a fabulous trip to San Fransisco, and thought it would be a nice change of pace to not do a clothing post this week. (Also because my photographer is who knows where) 

Although I couldn't afford to buy a single thing the whole day,

I still enjoyed viewing all the lovely dresses and testing out the lotions and eating LOTS and LOTS of nachos..

Have a lovely week, and I promise I'll post a clothing post as soon as I can!

Hang in there with me!

Soy Cuba (Not really)

dress- urban outfitters, scarf- vintage, socks- some airport in Arizona (thanks dad), shoes- from Isabel, bag- Soy Cuba! #teenvogue

I feel like every one thinks fall is just sweaters and jeans,

or an excuse to wear yoga pants.

Well let me tell you,

it is never okay to wear yoga pants anywhere except a yoga class or an organic foods market.

-From all of us out there who don't want to know you that well..

*Just had to get that out there*

 I don't know about the rest of the world,

but I loooove fall.

I love all the leaves that I can crunch when I'm walking,

the rain clouds that give me an excuse to wear a big fluffy raincoat,

and best of all,

the pumpkin chai lattes.

I've been doing my chores lately for one reason and one reason only:

Chores=money=pumpkin chai lattes 

Gone is the season of weird sodas found in the organic isle of your local supermarket,

the season of $5 dollar pizzas and way too large Coca Cola's,

and once again the lovely, wonderful, blessed season of everything pumpkin flavored and delicious is back ♥

What's your favorite season, and why? 

And did I mention that this lovely lady in my last picture is mi amiga Isabel,

who helps me with my style choices and also agrees yoga pants are bad for human health?

Have a nice week!
