POST-VINTAGE

Hey everyone, hope you're doing well. As usual, it's been awhile since I posted up a blog post (I'm so sorry!). I'm going through the worst artist block ever at the moment and it sucks. I just feel when I have so much time on my hands and I have so less to do, it bothers me. That usually happens when I'm not in school and/or working. It's something that I'm currently battling with and I hope it will pass once I start school again. In the mean time, I've been doing little baby-steps to help improve my state and make me a better person. This usually starts by creating 3 commitments at the beginning of the day and some how fulfilling them. My three commitments of the day was eating a healthy breakfast, taking pictures for the blog, and not staying up pass 11pm today, lol. Is this something that you might be interested in doing?

Today I was hanging out with some friends and looking for a good location to shoot at, and what-do-you-know. We ended up at our old high school! It was nice going down memory lane again lol. Also, you're going to see that there are a few pictures with this random guy in there, yeah, please do not be afraid. That is just my good friend photobombing me lol.

Popcorn Knit Cardigan: Forever 21

Solid V-Neck: Wet Seal

Shorts: Thrifted

Tawny Boots: eBay (similar)

Today's look was inspired by my 16yr old self lol. I was all about the giant vintage movement (and still am) and wanted to bring it back, but without the thrift items. Forever 21 is having a BOGO free on all the sale items (STILL HAPPENING) and I couldn't look away from this knitted cardigan! I mean you can't have a vintage winter look without something knitted lol. From there, I layered it up a Wet Seal basic tee, Crystal & Casings Turquoise Howlite Double Chain necklace, my thrifted shorts with sheer distressed leggings, cute designed socks, and my tawny boots. I'm honestly not wearing much, but can you believe that I wasn't freezing my butt off?! Right?! lol.

FALL SEMESTER IS OVER!

   It feels soooooo great to be blogging again! I can't believe how busy I was with school and working at the same time. I literally had no time for myself whatsoever. Kudos to those who go to school, work, and blog! You must be so damn good with time management, lol. Any who, how is everyone doing?! It's been so long since I've actually looked at my blog lol. I hoped everyone had a great Thanksgiving and looking towards the holidays as much as I am. Jeez, I have no idea where to start with my current life to be honest. I'll probably leave that to another post because there's just SO much. Ahhhhh, sorry that I'm all over the place, I'm just so excited!

Night Watch Cutout Booties c/o Calico

So I've been so obsessed with matching an all black outfit with a pop of color lately. I matched my H&M powder pink fluffy cardigan to soften up this all black outfit. My favorite piece of this outfit is my custom-made Marble Crystal Necklace from Crystal & Casings! It's such a classic touch to this look that adds more texture then just the fluffy sweater. The satin bralette is so freakin' cute too but unfortunately I'm not that full around the chest area so it's kinda of loose on the sides, hence why I wore my cardigan lol. Psh, no way am I going to waist money on a garment and not wear it lol. Finally, I wore my Night Watch Cutout Booties from Calico and I have not taken them off ever since I got them. There's so many way of dressing these babies up or down. Have you guys been seeing a lot of "pop" of color added to all black outfits this fall?

PURRRR

I'm starting to get a hold of things now, and I'm pretty freakin' excited! I have time to blogz now, yay! Also, I'm currently having a dilemma right now. My birthday is coming up on Monday (September babies woot, woot!) and I have no idea what to wear. Pretty weird for a fashion blogger to say, right? Well most people dress up on their birthdays but my birthday lands on a Monday, the most hated day of the week! On top of that, I have to go to school and work afterwards so I guess I'm pretty screwed right now. *le sigh* What would you wear if you were in my situation? D:

Rawk Tank: MeUndies

Tappy Pinafore c/o Ivy Supply

Thigh High Socks: Forever 21

Tawny Boots: eBay (similar)

These photos were taken actually a week ago and I'm now just barely putting this outfit up. I won these purrr-fect (yes I went there) kitty overalls from Ivy Supply's giveaway hosted on LA's Blog. Aren't they freakin' cute?! I wanted the print to pop out more so I decided to just go with the color scheme and just wear my Rawk Tank, thigh high socks, and my tawny boots I purchased from eBay. It's actually more of a Fall type outfit but I can't wait that long to wear them! I'm sure I can style them a whole different way. 

**Ironically, I'm not a fan of cats due to a childhood experience of one scratching the crap out of me. Doesn't mean that they're not uber cute though, lol.

AMI CLUBWEAR X ALEXISSPLASH

AMI Clubwear is a women's clothing shop located in Southern California that carry trendy, fashion-forward clothing, killer shoes, and amazing accessories. AMI Clubwear was kind enough to let me choose anything, literally, anything from their website to style here on my blog. Below, I chose to style these Denim Distressed Overalls and Shaggy Faux Fur Mini Tote Handbag.

Phone Case: eBay

 The Denim Overalls is 100% polyester and totally essential for every girl for this summer and next. The distressed details gives it an grungy look and what works well with grunge other than the color black?! I've been having a weird love for pairing distressed denim with all things black (if you haven't noticed in the Boyfriend Jeans post lol ). It just works to so well together! I paired it with MeUndies lightweight Rawk Tank (not going to lie, it's great for showing off skin, which I like to do but in a subtle way, ya know?), Image's crochet bralette, Steve Madden's chunky Schoolz Sandals, and of course the fun Faux Fur Mini Tote Handbag, which I'm in love with! I love all things faux fur because it adds such an oomf to the outfit. The bag came with an adjustable strap, which I like to wear mine pretty long because I'm too lazy to hold it by the handle lol. It's pretty spacy and I can actually fit my camera in it! Say hello to my new stylish camera bag!

SPICY AVENUE'S BREEZE BOXY DRESS

This is probably the shortest post I have ever made for this blog. Due to working and the heat, I have beyond tired and lazy to do anything. I literally woke up from a nap, put on this dress, and started taking photos. The lighting was not right and I felt horribly sticky from the heat. *sigh* I want to continue complaining about the heat, but it wouldn't do me any good. Must think of swimming pools and ice creams, and awesome breezy dresses.

Breeze Boxy Dress c/o Spicy Avenue

Boots: eBay

Thank god for Spicy Avenue's Breeze Boxy Dress. I guess you can say it's the best thing besides practically being naked. It's 100% cotton aka perfect for the summer heat! I'm not going to lie, it was a challenged to style this dress. When I first put it on, I looked like I belonged in the hospital due to the oversized look. But once I put on my tawny boots, it didn't look bad at all. Somehow I embraced the boxy cut of the dress where it doesn't look overbearing. Think I did a good job? How would you style the Breeze Boxy Dress? Let me know!

SUMMER CASUAL

It's too hot for life right now. I just want to grab a chair and sit in front of a freezer until the sun goes down. I seriously can't wait until Fall is here. I'm so over Summer right now. We know you a real G sun, you don't have to keep it 100 no more, lol.

Tropical Print Top: Image, Belt: Vintage, Shorts c/o The Vintage Closet, 

Boots: eBay (similar), Socks: Stance

To escape the heat, I wore my lightest top I own (which happens to be from Image) and loose fitting high-waisted shorts. I wanted to keep my look super casual so I put on Stance Chicano socks and my awesome tawny ebay boots from good ol' China. I guess in a way, I kind of look like a hobo - but a chic hobo, if that's cool. I don't know? lol, just something comfortable and will keep me from sweating up a river. Ew. 

Sad news! Someone put my tropical set (top + skater skirt) into the dryer and they totally shrunk! I can still wear the top (what I'm wearing above) but the skirt is too short now! The only way I can wear it is if I wear leggings or a super long cardigan. *sad face* Do you have a remedy of wearing short skater skirts?
