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!

Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

OMG IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE, OMG IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE, OMG IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE. I have been waiting for tomorrow ALL YEAR AND IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!! GUYSI'MSOEXITED!

Anyways, we actually decorated our tree a few weeks ago, but I decided to save the pictures until now so you guys could feel the ~HOLIDAY VIBES~ I'm feeling.

We have a whole bunch of ornaments from my mom's '70s/'80s childhood, and we have a whole bunch that belonged to my great-grandparents from the '30s/'40s/'50s. They're all awesome and beautiful, but here are my absolute favorite ornaments from our tree <3 ENJOY~



These ornaments are really old ('30s? '40s? '50s?) and super small, so we don't actually hang them on the tree, but check out how pretty they are! AND THE BOX! It is seriously perfect.

 One of my FAVORITE ORNAMENT! '70s fat baby-ish Santa riding a GLITTER HORSE?! I think we all know IT WAS MADE FOR ME.

'60s or '70s GLITTER MOUSE. Ugh, I love glittered holiday shit.



This is so absolutely PERFECT/GORGEOUS. It's a circa '50s clear ornament that has a little piece of multi-colored TINSEL inside. YESTINSELINSIDEOMGI'MDEAD


 HOLY GOD, I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH. It's from around the '30s or '40s (my guess) AND LOOKS LIKE A BIRD. WITH A FURRY TAIL THING. GUYS, IT'S RAD.


Another PWETTY SHINY ONE from the '30s to '50s.

MORE TINSEL INSIDE ICAN'TBREATH 





My grandma actually made this one and the next one in the '70s, and they ARE SO RAD.





Another one from the '40s or '50s. GOLD AND GLITTER AND CAT EYE THINGS YES YES YES.


Moreeee of my little mousy babe.


The tree!



 Santa hat: unknown
Shirt: hand-me-down from grandma (I wear my grandma's clothes YEAH)
Skirt: thrifted

Of course I got dressed up, BECAUSE TREAT YO SELF. Then my brother took some weird pictures where my eyes are all closed BUT I LOOKED RAD.

~oooh I'm looking cool~

I also thrifted this Aretha's Gold record a few days ago, WHICH IS SO PERFECT AND PRETTY AJEKJFNEJK. I paired it with my ~rad tinsel~ my mom got me, which I'm actually going to hang in my room after the holidays <3

Have a rad and merry Christmas!

Halloween Beauty Queen

Is it too late to post Halloween pictures? 
I have been so busy/lazy (real bad combo there, y'all) that I have COMPLETELY been procrastinating at every chance I get.
If there is ever a game called "Procrastination", I'd play it so well.

ANYWAYS, moving away from my flaws, I was a psychotic Prom Queen for Halloween!
Some guy that gave candy out said I was a princess, and all my friends/people on the street thought I was Carrie. I eventually had to resort to threatening people with my knife if they called me Carrie one more time.






My radical little brother took all of these (HE IS SUCH A GENIUS, I HATE HIM) and I included the one of the graveyard because it is so perfect and just had all the vibes I was looking for/am still into. Isn't just so dreeeammy?

 (Excuse my messy and disgusting room which has just gotten MESSIER AND MESSIER AND MESSIER)

 Letterman cardigan: Forever 21
Blouse: vintage from Etsy
Jeans: Gloria Vanderbilt
Shoes: hand-me-down converse

Liquid eyeliner: Hard Candy
Lipstick: Revlon in British Red
I had a nice '50s Americana type look going on. When I walked into play practice, my director said I was a "movie star" and later told me I was beautiful, and I was like AWWW BABIES WHAT'S GOING ON, EVERYONE IS SO NICE TODAY!
Also, my lipstick looks pinky, but it was deep red, I tell you, RED!

 AND...
NEW FAVORITEST THING EVER!
I made myself a ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW OFFICIAL FAN CLUB BUTTON!
EEEEEEEEEKK!
After this, I found out one my sort of friends LUVED Rocky Horror, and we freaked on how PERFECT it all was! ROCKY HORROR BUILDS FRIENDSHIPS!!! (ahahahaha that could be taken a lot of different ways)
I made it with my Badge-A-Minit and the Rocky Horror seal of fan-clubbiness from...

 THIS!
I AM NOW AN OFFICIAL FAN CLUB MEMBER! 
MORE EEEEEKK!
It is probably the coolest thing ever, although I believe there should be some initiation or weird Rocky Ritual you have to do instead of "Print a card and you're in the fan club" or something, BUT I'M STILL JUST SO HAPPY, UGH!
If you do, you are an instant buddy of mine.

The next day I was all cute and mod and it was awesome. My uncle actually told me I looked like I came right out of 1965 (AND HE WAS BORN IN THE '60s! GUIZEEEE!), while wearing this, which is probably the nicest compliment I've heard EVVVERRR.
Dress: vintage from Etsy
Tights: Forever 21
Boots: thrifted

Also-- my pins! Rocky makes it's second appearance, and then I wore my Nana's graduation pin from '67 ♡

 I also teased my hair, and it looked so good and had great height, but I think teased/ratted/beehivey hair never looks good on cameras, AMIRIGHT PEOPLES?
So I attempted (failed) to capture it in like 20 pictures, some of which are down below. 



 Glasses: A.J. Morgan
And my superrrr cute glasses that make me look like Johnny Depp when he was Willy Wonka.

I hardly took any pictures of myself while on my Thanksgiving trip, but I took this one on INSTAGRAM on the way home! It's like, my favoritest picture of me EVER. It reminds me of Tavi's pictures, and pretty vintage nostalgia and ~teenagedom~ and everything. 

Finally, babes who read this--- I'm trying to make one (maybe two if Y'ALL LUCKY) blog posts per week, so everyone keep your peepers on the LOOK-out! (hahaha eyes and look, get it hahahaha I make bad puns) (I'm so tired, I think I'm lacking coherency) (hahaha) (shut-up, now)
