Why Must I Be a Teenager In Love?

I  wore this outfit to go to this fairly new antique-y shop in my town! It was super cool there, and of course I had to dress like I was from 1960.

Earrings: Girl Props

Dress: Etsy

Belt: Ross

Tights: Wal-Mart

Shoes: Pleaser

One of the sleeves of this dress started to get undone months ago, so it's been out of business for a while. My mom sewed it for me, and now I want to wear it FOREVER EVER EVER! This is probably my favorite dress ever, and it was one of the first vintage dresses I ever had. It's so cute and Tracy-ish and has always been the dress of my ~DREAMS~!

I did my classic cat-eye with some super cute bright red lipstick and my record earrings! My bangs also looked so '50s-ish and AMAZING, kind of like Rhoda's from The Bad Seed (*sigh* HER BANGS MAKE ME WANT TO CRY UGH I DON'T EVER KNOW).

I didn't get any pictures at the antique shop (ughhh), but I looked super ADORBS, and this outfit is definitely going down as one of my favorite things I've worn EVER!

HEARTS AND LOVE AND STUFF

Valentine's Day is COMING!

Okay, so you may have noticed I've been pretty blog LAZY. My resolution is always to post a whole bunch, but lately I've just been like I DUNNO EVERYTHING TAKES TOO MUCH EFFORT. I'm also trying to cut the internet out of my life a bit more, and I've been making art and working on zines and stuff and trying to keep myself ~less in the cyber world~ for a while. Even though blogging is supposed to be all ~freeee~, you still feel this connection and nagging that YOU NEED TO POST MORE! DO MORE! DO MORE! So, MY FINAL RESOLUTION is to post more and not procrastinate and it's FEBRUARY BUT I'M STILL MAKING RESOLUTIONS. Okay? Okay. <3

As the incredible Dayzee said, lately I've been CHILLIN' online with the wonderful Wandering Collective babes, and it's been SO RAD. Ugh, internet friends rule. It's amazing to meet people who share your same interests and passions and who are willing to talk and who actually understand you. SO, THIS GOES OUT TO MY WANDERING BABES-- and this post is dedicated to ALL OF YOU, because I LOVE YOU AND YOU MAKE MY HEART GO BOOM BOOM. End of emotional shout-out.

BACK TO THE SUBJECT-- Valentine's Day is ALMOST HERE! I'm feeling all these pastel and baby pink and blue ~vibez~. Plus LOVE and prom and fluffy dresses rule my heart right now and are kind of like Valentine's day heroes.

I am so, so, so, SO in love with this dress.

Ignore my blanket/ messy clothes/ awesome painted heart I did in the corner because I was bored/my weird positions

Hair clips: dollar store

Dress: Etsy (gift from 'rents)

Tights: Walmart

Shoes: Pleaser

It is so amazing and flower child-y and makes me feel like I should be the 4th Brady Bunch sister (even though I don't have blonde hair or curls or anything...)

IT.IS.THE.BEST.THING.EVER.

I was going for a late '60s/early '70s look, like I really am a lost Brady sister/'70s high school girl who wears flowers in her hair and obsesses over David Cassidy (actually accurate description of me).

The detailing on this dress is ANOTHER PERFECT REASON TO LOVE IT. Look at the flowers!!

I also did really rad '60s/'70s make-up with light blues and light peachy pinks. THAT'S RIGHT, I DITCHED THE CAT EYE. It was painful for mama, but I SURVIVED. All the make-up here is really old, crappy dollar store stuff that isn't even worth mentioning (I'm cheap and poor and never throw anything away).

ONCE AGAIN, THESE SHOES FOREVERRRR.

Nail polish: Wet 'n' Wild
Rings: "LOVE" one from Forever 21, other one from when I was like 7 (THESE RINGS SO RULE)

I did SWEET ~COSMIC~ NAIL ART with super duper gorgeous moons! My thumb looks super amazing and exactly how I wanted it to, whereas most of the rest kind of look like weird sort of circles with little dots in the middle. It also continued my '70s/cosmic theme I was going for!
I didn't decorate my right hand, which I'm gonna say is because I'm too cool for that, but it's actually because I can't do any kind of decent nail art on my right hand.

LOOK AT THESE GORG pictures I took today! The sky was amazing and I was internally freaking out because IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL and so perfect!

I am now also super obsessed with Gun Club, AKA THE BEST THING EVER (I couldn't find a good picture of them, which is SO SAD). Their music is like the epitome of perfectness! I'M CRAZY OBSESSED! "She's Like Heroin To Me" is my favorite song right now and GAH IT'S AMAZING LISTEN TO IT, GUYSSSSSSS!

I've wanted to blog a whole bunch these past few days, but I didn't know about what. I've been feeling super ~*!ARTISTICALLY!*~ inspired these past few days, but not super inspired in most other stuff, which includes ye olde blorg. DON'T WORRY, THOUGH, BABES, I am back from the tiny blog break I took, and I have LOTS LINED UP 4 U <3 <3 <3

ready to go to sleep now

WELL, HEY.

I am officially, royally EXHAUSTED.

This weekend, I had to perform the play I was in everyday... while I was SICK. I now feel really icky and so tired and I think all I can do is watch Golden Girls and fall asleep with a half eaten potato chip in my mouth.

Shirt that you can't see but that I'm crediting anyways: thrifted

Sunglasses: from a random shop

Cardigan: thrifted 

Jeans: Gloria Vanderbilt (from when I was like, 11)

Shoes: Pleaser

ANYWAYS, this outfit is from a few weeks ago. I don't think I will ever get over Girl Gang ~vibez~, and this was totally inspired by the Man-Eaters, plus casual '50s/'60s babes. I was going to a dress rehearsal, so I couldn't give myself pretty teased hair (SADNESS). I have become 100% INFATUATED with my PRETTY 'LIL WHITE PLEASER SHOES, and I actually wore them so much that my heel started to bleed and I couldn't wear them for a few days. *insert major epic TEARZ :'(*

THESE GLASSES FOREVER, GUYS.

 Awesome and weird chicken brooch: Great-grandmother's

Shawl: thrifted

Tie-dye t-shirt which is pretty much no longer tie-dyed: diy'd

Corduroy pants: Gloria Vanderbilt

Shoes: Pleaser

All these pictures my brother took turned out weird and fuzzy, but I kind of like the effect. Anyways, I was ~totally~ going for a '70s look, and I can never find a ton of things to go with the shawl, but everything came together and totally WORKED for me.

I tried to do a '70s kind of look, which was basically brown eyeliner and lots of mascara. It actually looked pretty RAD, but the lighting in these pictures SUCKS. Ohhh, well, what can you do?

I ALSO GOT MY BANGS TRIMMED!!!! (exclamation points for excited affect)

The first day they looked so BITCHIN' I almost DIIIIIED. This picture (that I took at like, 2 AM (I was lookin' too good to go to bed)) is a pretty accurate presentation of how KEWT they are. 

 This was me trying to capture how styyyylin' my bangs were DURING MY PLAY'S HIGH SCHOOL PREVIEW (i almost had a heart attack on stage, IT WAS SCARY, OKKKKK?)

I was not supposed to be taking pictures during costume changes, but I LOOKED SO GOOD. Gawd, I'm adorbs.

UGH PRETTY MAKE-UP STATIONS. Totally #dreamdressingroom, guys.

OH, AND I DID MY NAILS. I filed them to a point and painted them deep red (IT LOOKS PINK HERE, IT'S NOT OKAY??), and the only true way to describe them is $uPa H@wT nAiLz. I think I will eternally do this so that I cAn GeT AlL dE BoYz<3333 

Since I am now done with my play *more tears*, I way more time to WRITE and CREATE. I am actually trying to get all the e-mails/Tumblr messages/things rad babes send me ANSWERED and DELIVERED to your doorsteps (E-mail steps? Tumblr steps? YOU GUYS GET WHAT I'M SAYING).

Personal Style Icon: Majorettes

What is a majorette, you may ask?
"A majorette is a person doing choreographed dance or movement, primarily baton twirling associated with marching bands during parades."
Basically, majorettes are kick ass (I actually have never seen a real life majorette, so maybe you are one and you're reading this and you're like "It's not kick ass, trust me!" If so, TELL ME!! Educate me on the ways of the majorettes!) ladies who twirl batons and (quoting Wiki again here) "also twirl knives, fire knives, flags, light-up batons, and fire batons. They do illusions, cartwheels, and flips, and sometimes twirl up to four batons at a time."
LIKE, WHOA!! Isn't the coolest thing you ever heard of?!?! 
I went to cheer-leading camp for 3 years when I was a little cutie baby, and LEMME TELL YOU, we did some crazy stuff, BUT WE DID NOT TWIRL FIRE KNIVES. 
PLUS, majorettes are my personal style icons. THE BOOTS. THE SKIRTS. THE FUZZY HAT THINGS.

Hopefully you get as inspired by them as I am ♡
