Grunge? Hippie? Chic?


Hello Everyone!

So thankfully this generation is not specifically pinned down to one specific fashion genre. Did she just say 'Fashion genre'? Yes. Yes I did. People are taking on multiple different looks, one day they may feel dressing up, down, maybe a bit vintage but they still have that hat, or shoe, or whatever it may be that makes them unique. So Here are some of my favorite things from each of those categories..


      GRUNGE

I love how this look is super simple and looks 
incredibly comfortable. Plus I love the hair. To 
me this look is all about messy yet, a put together look. 


      HIPPIE       


Two words: loose clothes and flower crowns. 
And of course the glasses, also don't be afraid throw 
some peace sighs here and there. 

       CHIC 

Alex Stoddart, graduate

This ones tricky because the definition of chic is really 
anything that is fashionable. So it could be anything you find 
to be fabulous. These are some of my favorite looks that 
I would describe as chic.

Which style would you say you are?
How would you describe chic?

There you have it. Hope you guys liked this post and as always 
Have a good day!

Mini post: new bags!

Hello everyone!

So I decided to post a small post about my new bags that I had recently gotten because I am in love with them. I bought these from forever21 and I'm sure they are available online as well. Everytime I go into the store (which is not that much since I don't live really close to one) I always eye the bags first. I love how some are similar to other extremely pricey bags. Forever21 gives me the chance to find those pricey items for a smaller price (and for someone like myself that's a good thing). 

BOWLER BAG

This bag is somewhat like the bag that the famous youtuber Zoella has.

This is almost identical to the Zara bag (below)

The 90s are BACK!

Hello Everyone!


I am super excited for this post and about the direction my blog is going in. So 90s. I keep seeing bits of scrunchies, dungarees, and maroon lip liner with lipstick added here and there and not to completely make a big promise but I have a feeling that there will be an increase in more older fashion. So one of my favorite 'looks' that I like falls under the category 90s. I really like how it is super cheap look and easy to make look casual or dress it up for a dinner or a night out. Below are some outfits that I have put together that are a bit 90s but still okay for the summer. Hope you like them!





LOOK#1
Reminds of the 50s because of the shoes

LOOK #2
You could also pair this with a black or maybe a soft pink heel as well. 
Johnny Depp Tee / Acid Wash Ripped Boyfriend Jeans (SOLD OUT)
/Monki Lovis Shoe/ Classic Q Lil Ukita Satchel/
Rose gold chronograph watch


LOOK #3
Probably one of my favorite looks. 

LOOK #4
I absolutely love this for school , shops, or maybe a trip?
Delicate jersey t-shirt  (SOLD OUT) /
Denim Overall Shorts (SOLD OUT)/ All Star Hi Tops (SOLD OUT)
/ Velvet Scrunchie / Ana-Lia Handbag

Alrighty so there are my sets and sorry for the picture quality. 
The individual pictures are a bit blurry because of how I put them on the blog, but other than
 that I hoped you guys and gals liked this weeks blog. Hope you have a good day, 
and as always lots of love!

Fashion Review

Hello Everyone!


So recently I have been thinking about what I want my blog to be and then got to  thinking about making two blogs. Since my passion is mainly fashion i am going to stick to that and by next week there will be more fashion related things- no more photography type posts. Those pictures will probably be posted on instagram and such. who knows maybe I will make a separate blog for more day-today- things or little vacations, but as far as clothes, accessories, shoes, etc. all of that will be on this blog. I really do appreciate everyone of you who read these little posts and hopefully me just sticking to fashion wont discourage you from reading these. So with all that out of the way, here are some of my thoughts on clothes and accessories that celebrities have worn. hope you enjoy!


 Candice Swanepoel 
I absolutely adore this look worn by the lovely South African 
Victoria secret model Candice Swanepoel. It is super simple 
and looks good on just about anyone. You just have to be
 careful because normally high-waisted jeans and crop tops are 
worn by taller people to make them look slender, however that 
doesn't mean shorter girls cant wear it. Just make sure it fits 
right because you don't want to look frumpy or super short. 


One of my goals for this summer is to get a similar swimsuit to 
Poppy Delevingne's. You cant really go wrong with color or pattern 
with his type of swimsuit. It is perfect for showing of some skin for the summer 
but at the same time has an old feel to it. These are perfect for shaping your 
curves or hiding the fact that you don't really have any (like me..). 


This is another simple look that you can throw together. 
Miroslava Duma ,a fashion consultant, wore this at the London 
Fashion Week in Spring of 2014. By having the high-waisted 
pencil skirt it gives length and draws allot of attention to your legs 
and your waist. The Shoes of course add height and a structured 
bag that is a monotone color ties everything together. 


(grey overalls with a black Laser Cut Mesh Sleeve Top with the KATZ Cut Out Strap Shoes. 
She is also carrying a contrast sparkle clutch)
So for the last look that I have pulled I chose one of my fashion icons 
Eleanor Calder. I know she is not a celebrity but her taste in clothes are so 
popular and I really like them so I thought I would add it as well. Eleanor 
wore this at a Mulberry fashion show and it is a fancier look than the rest but 
your could always make it more causal and wear a jumpsuit and black flats. 
Or if  you want to wear overalls than you could wear leather dungarees with 
a printed white T and pair it with some converse or white sneakers, high tops 
would even look good as well.

So there ya go I hope you guys liked this post. These fashion posts are more of what
 I will be posting, since fashion is a big passion of mine. I really like how my blog
 has transformed and hopefully so do your guys. hope you have a good day, 
and as always lots of love!

'Take a walk' part deux

Hello Everyone!

Hope everyone had a marvelous week.. I certainly have been super busy. So this post is continuing from last weeks post. Last week I just showed you guys some pictures that I had taken the day before I went away with some family for memorial day. When my family and I went on a little vacation for memorial day the weather was perfect, there was zero drama (lets face it whether it is family or friends drama is EVERYWHERE), really it was such a good breather. I went to this beautiful little lodge that overlooked the river and right across there was this carnival, that I am guessing, went on every memorial day. I didn't take pictures of the carnival too much but I did happen to take pictures of just about everything else...






Kind of reminded me of the hobbit. 









*Tries to think of titanic quote* 



they had boat races. LOUD. boat races

the view from the lodge facing the carnival

the restaurant attached to the lodge had the most AMAZING food

Anyone getting tired of picture posts?
Should I do more chatty post?
if I do a 'chat post' should it be on a specific day?

Keep smiling,
 And as always hope everyone has a good day!
