Groovy Baby

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

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!

Chrissy, Truth or Dare?

 Soooo, I recently watched Now and Then (1995) for the first time EVER.
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG.
IT WAS SO FANTASTIC AND FUNNY AND HAD PERFECT STYLE AND FRIENDS AND SUBURBIA AND SEANCES AND ADVENTURE 'n' everything that makes a movie GOOD.
How did I spend all 14 years of my life without ever watching this movie?! WHAT ELSE IN MY LIFE HAVE I BEEN MISSING OUT ON? Dude, stuff like this just makes you WONDER.

Anyways, it basically centers around four really old friends (Melanie Griffiths, Demi Moore, Rosie O'Donnell, Rita Wilson) who are reuniting after several years of being apart and after their lives have all taken different directions.
The summer of 1970 is like, when everything CHANGED for them, so Sam (played by Demi Moore) tells us about that MAGICAL summer where they kissed boys, tested their friendship, held seances and ~found themselves~ and everything. It's all told in flashbacky retrospect, with younger actress playing the kiddy versions of their older selves.

My favorite kind of movies are movies that are made in the '90s/'80s and are all about the '50s/'60s/'70s. They're all nostalgic and pretty, and the '80s and '60s are two of my favorite decades, SO, CHELLO, IT'S LIKE A MIXING OF BOTH? Hell yes, I'm in. AND THIS MOVIE HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF THOSE. So, I think it might have been made for me?

 The younger actors (Thora Birch, Christina Ricci, Ashleigh Ashton Moore, Gaby Hoffman) are seriously talented. The '90s/'80s had a never-ending supply of really talented kid actors, most of which are now not famous/addicted to something/dead, which is so sad, BECAUSE I LOVE THEM ALL. The older actors in the movie feel a bit stiff and weird and really aren't as good, but IT'S STILL A PERFECT MOVIE.

And the style is that movie is like, the best. Seriously.

 

 AHH! The scene where they go swimming is, like, radical. It's all summery and fun and UGH THEIR CLOTHES I'M CRYING.

I will KILL someone for Chrissy's raincoat. Look at it! Clear plastic with pink detailing! WAS THERE ANYTHING EVER MADE THAT WAS MORE PERFECT?!

   

 Other perfect thing about this movie: THE ROOMS! Look at Roberta's curtains! Teeny's framed pictures of Jayne, Audrey, and Marilyn! The pink walls! The clock! Chrissy's pinkness! The general aesthetic! I'm dyyyying over here from all the ~vibes~.

When I was 10 or 11, I was Chrissy. Minus the fact I wasn't so totally naive, she is the perfect embodiment of my past, 10-year-old self.

Plus, look at her hair/clothes. This girl rocks. ILY, CHRISSY.

This scene is fantastic. Now I just wanna ride around with my girl gang and sing "Knock Three Times"! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK? Also, umm this movie has one of the best soundtracks ever. Because of this scene, I am now obsessed with "Sugar Sugar" and "Knock Three Times" and big '70s hits.

 Reason #1929994894 to love Now and Then:  Janeane Garofalo. If you read my blog a lot (or maybe at all), you probably know I'm OBSESSED with Vickie Miner (Janean Garofalo's character) from Reality Bites. So, yeah, I died when I saw she in this! Plus, HER CLOTHES/HAIR/MAKE-UP! PERFECT, JANEANE! Now my new life goal is to open some fortune telling shack place, name myself Wiladine, become the town weirdo, and call everyone "boys". Totally gonna be me at 20.
