Bralet styling

Hey there guys!

So from my last polyvore set, I ordered the denim bralet showed in there. I'm so excited to wear it! Here's a set of the ways I'd like to style it.

I am going to scour Goodwills and thrift shops for a nice black or white maxi skirt and cut it into a waterfall skirt. OR hi-low/high low, asymmetrical... It has so many different names! I think that would look really cute with the bralet. then some nice wayfarers, black heels, and a set of bangles. I really like wooden/gold accessories lately.

Speaking of wooden, I think a pair of wooden wedges would be pretty fabulous! I already have the high waisted shorts from H&M. A nice cardigan to keep me warm and a pretty statement ring would complete the look!

Someone suggested wearing a bright skirt with it, and I really liked the idea! It would be nice to integrate some color into my wardrobe. I think the crazy print of the skirt I found would stand out great! Then a white button up shirt to just wear as a cover up, maybe tied at the bottom. I think this look would be better as a more casual one, so I would pair it with kicks as opposed to heels. then a cute turquoise necklace to match the brightness of the skirt and you're done!

Then, in what Kurtis from theordinarypeoples would call "a Canadian tuxedo" aka denim on denim. To pull it off I think going from light to dark denim would be best. These tasseled sandals were also in my last polyvore set, they are growing on me! To match the brown shade, a pair of leopard cross earrings. A nice floppy hat and red lipstick would finish up the look nicely.

What do you think of my choices? What have you recently purchased that you're looking forward to styling?

Mirror, Mirror

For my humanities class, we had to make a visual project based off a word we chose from a list of words we associate or that others have used to describe you. I chose this prompt, based off of James Luna's Half Indian/Half Mexican:

"Create a face-off between two sets of opposite images – ones that reflect your chosen word, and ones that reflect its common opposite.  Inject a compromise image in the middle."

James' piece

 

 My chosen word was scared. Here is my piece (click the picture to see it larger):

scared>neutral>unafraid

What would you have chosen for your word?

I should do an outfit later today though so be on the lookout for that!

As the weather heats up (or in our case, stays the same -__- ) I am itching to buy some more high waisted shorts. I love denim so much but I only have one pair of high waisted denim shorts! Must be fixing this pronto.

I have always wanted a long white cardigan as well. I think they look cozy yet somewhat elegant. It would be a nice coverup for being at the beach as well.

I love my brown boots from Forever 21 and I want to expand my collection! I have so many shoes (which I shall be posting in a shop my closet section soon! ) I never wear so it's time to clean out and make way for new stuff. I have never had any sandals that weren't flip flops so I would really like a pair of gladiator ones! I'm usually not a big fan of tassels but I think this isn't too overbearing.

I like this new trend of bottom tied tops. I think it looks cute and gives a plain shirt just a bit more style. I have also been DYING for a bralet but have never had the chance to get one/try one on.

I don't really care much for accessories but I do love my set of gold rings I bought at H&M a bit back. They're nice to just pop on and I like wearing them with my cat ring I bought off ebay. I ended up losing my owl ring and the other rings I bought broke. :( I'll be stoking up soon on cheapo ebay rings. They may turn my fingers a bit green but I don't mind so long as my wallet stays green too.

I used to have a cheapo ( 50 cent or something. They came in a friends birthday goodie bag) pair of wayfarers that were EXCELLENT and I wore them everywhere. Unfortunately they fell off over a bridge last summer so I need to replace them! I love the wayfarer style. Classic but not to campy.

I got this strawberry EOS lip sphere for christmas and I love it! Strawberry is one of my favorite flavors, plus it leaves my lips very moist for a long time. Plus it's such a cute design! I use this and my Jamba Juice lip balms exclusively.

I have a friend who used to drink an Arizona tea every day in high school. While I was shopping a few months ago I decided to try one and now I am hooked as well! I'm not a big fan of cold tea so I mostly stick to the fruity flavors, but I do like the mango and tea one. Cheap and delicious~

What do you want to incorporate into your wardrobe this spring?

How did you know, if I've never told...

I've got a crush on you.

Happy Valentines day! I hope you all are feeling my love as I type this right now~

Dress - Oasap

Skirt - H&M

Kneesocks - Ebay

Heels - Kohls

I received this lovely leopard print dress from Oasap a few days ago and I love it! It is a bit short on me though so I wear it as a top instead. It's very soft and the pattern is really cute! For only $25 it is a definite must have. These are also my first outfit pictures I've take with Rose! She is so lovely and precious I love her to bits~ Speaking of Dr. who references, I woke up as Matt Smith this morning:

Eat your heart out, ladies.

I have been swamped with essays and picture taking and reading and so much other stuff so I haven't been posting much. I apologize!

PS. How do you love my new header? I would make it a bit better/personalized but I'm loaning my tablet to a friend right now. The art is from Mira Ongchua, one of my favorite artists! Please check out her deviantart or her tumblr. <3

Spring/Summer 2012

 Spring is coming soon enough and with it returns the appropriateness of my favorite clothing item ever, shorts.

I'm not a big fan of bright color. My normal wardrobe is black on black or denim with darker tones or neutrals. I really would like to add some pastels to my collection though to brighten and soften things up a bit. Some colors I really like are peach and mint. I really like the way peach looks with my skin tone. It's bright and warming without being too overpowering. And mint is one of my favorite colors! I don't really have any white shirts or light colored shirts either so that would be nice to have. I tend to steer from light shirts because I cannot control how much I sweat and that a) is gross, and b) ruins light colored clothing. However a nice dolman sleeve top can remedy this. :)

High waisted high waisted high waisted. My favorite trend ever. I have a very defined hourglass figure (37-26-40) so I love showing off my tiny waist. I hated the low rise trend with a passion and it was awful trying to find anything but when I was in middle/high school. I'm glad this trend is back to stay. I also am a big fan of 90's fashion. I love denim and have been dying for a denim jacket or collared shirt for a long while. It was grungy and I love the crop top trend paired with high waisted bottoms.

I first saw the Laura Mercier lip stain while reading a blog post from Keiko Lynn and I fell in love with the rosy, pink color. I have been lusting for it for a while but just never got around to buying it/asking for it. Same with the watch necklace. I think it's a cute, whimsical little accessory that is also very practical! I don't like wearing accessories much since I feel like they just get in the way so something like this would be a good thing to own! I always use this one green purse my parents bought for a me a few years back, and it's nice to have but it sometimes gets in the way when I'm walking around with my boyfriend. I think this denim backpack has a nice grungy feel to it and can hold a lot. Plus it would be easy to sling around my back and have it out of the way.

I love wedges so much (so much so I got some shipped straight from Canada lol) and I want to expand my collection. I have mostly black heels I never wear so I want to add some color to my shoe collection. I also would like another pair of nice brown boots. I really like the Forever 21 pair I own. Flat boots are so comfy but stylish!

I hope you like my picks! Tell me what trends you are looking forward to trying this coming season.

Who's awesome? You're awesome.

Oh dear god what is that thing

Here you go Kirsten you asked for it. This is what I look like when I wake up. Photoshop told me I was that pale ;-;

 Guess what I had for lunch today? Protein+Animal style, no cheese, always.

Simply glorious.

 

Going upstairs!

 OH let's have a looksies at my room. You can see in the second photo a quarter of the amount of clothes I still need to photograph and put up for sale somewhere.

 

Basically I've been getting over being sick this whole past week. I went to a rave last Saturday I was stuck in the rain for about an hour trying to get in even though I had already purchased my ticket! It wasn't so bad though, I actually had a lot of fun! But I don't enjoy the 102 fever (worst night ever ;-; )and disgusting cough that still haunts me.

My classes are going pretty well. I already have some friends and my teachers are all good. It really helps to use ratemyprofessors.com before you sign up for classes! I have a mythology class, math, photography and human studies class. I wish I had the time to take a PE but I am already running around between campuses. I'll just have to get my exercise from running around outside.

 Is it weird that I don't like sleeping on sheets? I love the bare mattress and pillow! It feels so much better and it's so much easier to make my bed in the morning.

  Stripper money on my bedside desk.

I took a picture without a lens and I placed my finger in front of the shot. lol

It came with a bag, an 8gb sd card, a 18-55mm lens and a 55-250mm lens. :) Got my 50mm lens on the way as well. SO EXCITED GONNA TAKE PICTURES OF ALL THE THINGS.

If a plane crashed into my room I wouldn't even flinch

 

 I don't think anyone knows how much I love Ellie Goulding. She's my role model.
What do you think of the new hair? Thought I'd come into the new year with a bang. ;)

Don't fret though, it's only a wig! This is my Utena wig that I still need to style. It's so soft and lovely~

Closeup of my rings I wore. The two little gold rings are from H&M, and the fox ring is from ebay. :)

I drove 2 hours away just to get this sweater. I fell in love with it but my local store didn't carry my size, so I called every store in the bay area until I found it! It's so cozy and warm.

gold rings, sweater, and shorts from H&M

tights from asos.com

glasses from proopticals.com

boots were thrifted

These lovely glasses are from my sponsor, proopticals.com. The pink color sort of washes me out, but they matched my wig so nicely! Plus they would be fun to wear to a rave. :P

I hope you are all having a great new year so far!
