Shame on me.

Dearest Readers of my blog, all 15 or so of you, but who's counting anyway,

I send you my deepest apologies for my lack of blogging activity in the last who knows how long. I won't make excuses because that's annoying and I don't actually have a dog whom I could blame for eating my computer. I'm Hoping, with a capital H, that I can start finding time for this little page again, but let's be honest I barely have time to do trivial things like shave my legs or repaint my 3 week chipped nail polish. It's quite ridiculous.  So I suppose I'll post a few outfits from before I was born to catch up, just kidding more like from before this years freshman were born. Wait kidding again I forget when these were taken... 

Anywho, I'm majorly busy so if my posts become a bit scatter-brained please forgive me ahead of time. I don't believe I have the brain power to make coherant thoughts that are relavent to anything other than my immediate musings. Send my regards to the Mrs.

fashioncoolture

I found this streetstyle observer, fashioncoolture, on lookbooks.com and I was immediately enthralled. I wouldn't mind borrowing her closet for a week, that's for sure. I recommend you check her out, she's way to major to be virtually unknown.





See what I mean?? I agree.

f for frustrated.

ugh. lately i can't seem to find my normal balance of feeling chic and comfy. I can either get the comfy down damn well but i don't love what I'm wearing, or I can love what I'm wearing but be uncomfortable- fussing and pulling at this and that all day long. it's irritating and entirely uninspiring so here's a few pictures that have been getting me through the days.

this tattoo.... brilliant.
 






kay, bye.

denim on denim.

this is an outfit i wore a few weeks ago that i finally got uploaded to my computer. I really wanted to capture this one for you guys but only had my phone with me which neither has an auto timer, nor would it stay upright long enough to take a photo anyway. so I did my best, hope you like it. 



wearing: target blouse and belt, forever 21 jeans, my mothers old loafers, & gold jewelry

ps. sorry about the terrible quality :/

Hanna.

I literally just finished watching the movie Hanna. I basically wish I could be her for a week. A bad ass from the forest? Honestly it can't get much cooler than that.


okay so the first picture isn't actually Soairse Ronan but Ive been dying to post this one and her hair reminds my of the gorgeous blond locks from the movie...and lets be honest here, half the reason i loved it so much was her long flowing bleached hair...

....which I obviously couldn't find a picture of. so just watch the movie. do it, i dare you.
you won't regret it, you'll merely decide it's time to take an intense self defense class and learn an extra language or 7.

dress to impress?

Homecoming is charging at me like I'm wearing red and it's a bull! I haven't gotten a dress yet and I'm nearing the panic stage. My boyfriend and I have to go shopping for his ensemble, but it wouldn't be very useful if we don't know the color of my dress. I found these online that I'm sort of loving. But then again I never get what I find online.

Besides that I'm also taking some notes on this one:

So this year I want something more elegant, which is stupid because I'm naturally drawn to the classic and sophisticated looks anyway and that's usually what I get. BUT! I've also always had this sort of mini-lifelongdream of wearing a vintage white lace dress to a dance.

If you mix these 3 dresses

with this back, it's almost perfect.


 Just kidding it's not what I imagined at all in my brain but I like it anyway.

So, uh, happy Monday, let me hear a TGIO...Thank God Its Over.

little black dress approved.

This past weekend was my cousin's wedding. It was so beautiful and everything was perfect. I was fussing over what to wear because the invitation didn't have a specification. My mother was dressing a bit more casual though so I ended up in this little black dress. Keepin' it classy, not trashy, as my clothing teacher likes to say. And might I add there was a bit of trashy LBD's  at the reception, enough so to encourage an elderly woman to compliment my classy choices. So, there you have it, my LBD was indeed, little black dress approved.



wearing: LBD from Maurices, worthington heels, mom's ring & earrings, double cuff arm party (pop quiz! what amazing blogger uses/invented that term?? do ya know, do ya? no guesses? The Man Repeller! check her outt, she makes me wish i had jokes, cuz lemme tell you, shes. got. jokes.)
  
I'm sort of upset I didn't get a picture of the round cutout in the back, but I assure you, it was skimpy. Just kidding it was not large enough for a small dog to fit through.

enchanted.

I'm practically drooling on my computer as I look over these 4 photos for the billionth time. On lookbooks.com there was an interveiw of Riad Azar, a hair genius. These are his beautiful creations, and honestly I think these pictures speak for themselves. Enough said.

on the wall.

mirror selfie? I think yes. I know you all wish you were this cool, because one's social status is directly related to how many mirror selfie's one has on one's facebook page. I have three. I know it's shocking I have so little, but not to worry my goal is to have seven....or twelve. This one will be soon posted pulling me up to a whooping four. YES.

wearing: forever 21 dress, target belt, gold arm candy
