only five days left//whos a child now

god this has taken forever. the longest stretch of the yr is thanksgiving to christmas i swear to god. i mean, i would if i was religious. kinda ironic because x-mas is technically supposed to honor someone religious. oh well.

my fave part of the holiday season is getting to live in a place where it *actually* looks like christmas. the snowy weather, the biting wind on your cheeks giving you that 'just in from the cold' blush. it's absolutely fantastic.

what sucks about x-mas is the fact that it's fuh-reezing cold ALL the time. and i go to a school that's philosophy is to make us to go school until the last possible day and then give us craploads of hw and finals stuff to worry about over our lovely twelve days off. x-mas vacay is basically school without having to look good.

but, even in these last few days left of hellish work, the way you dress is still important. how you look on the 22 and 23 will stick in the mind of everybody over x-mas. you DO NOT want to be the girl that wore sweats. the girls who wear sweats on the 23rd are not the girls you want to be. you wanna be the girl that rocks a chic dress even though it's 25 frickin degrees.

aaaaaaand now you can be! but don't lose the spirit of the holidays. c'mon, when ELSE do you get to wear ugly christmas sweaters?!


leggings + comfort + christmas= heart eyed emoji


stand out in a sea of boring gray infinities with a splash of holiday spirit!

corny captions? good. cute graphics? getting warmer. bells that jingle when you're walking? perfect. 

have a wonderful (or crappy, depending on what kind of person you are) last days of school and have an absolutely amazing christmas (or hanukkah. or kwanzaa. or whatevah.)

AIIIIIII CHRISTMAS.

p.s. who's going somewhere cool for xmas? comment below! i'm stuck in lovely vt *makes a grumpy face*.

SOPHOMORE YEARRR

doesn't that just sound fun to say? soph-o-more. we never even pronounce the second O. huh.

but it is indeed true. I AM A SOPHOMORE. I AM FIFTEEN. I AM DRIVING AT BREAKNECK SPEEDS OF 25 MILES AN HOUR.

impressive, right?

yeah, i know. 

but i want this year to be different. bigger. better. SPECTACULAR. or something like that. and blogging is kind of back to school therapy. i don't post all summer and then i do when school starts. it helps me focus. or distract myself, whichever one i need at the moment.

which reminds me. i think it's time for me to create a new blog. a blog just for thoughts and dreams and all that jazz.

because high school is HARD.

you get beaten down and mocked and laughed at and under-appreciated. mainly number four. and as a freshman, life kinda sucks. but it will get better as a sophOmore. *fingers crossed* i will know people when i go back to school and i will have friends and i will learn and maybe even that guy will turn and smile at me. again, i'm hoping mainly for number four.

so i invite you all (all nine of you anyways) to turn your attention to the below link and to read my other blog. because high school isn't easy for anyone. and everyone needs someone to talk to. or someone to comfort. both are nice. and both are surprisingly helpful even on internet blogs. 

and i need help too sometimes. so comment away! 

i wish all you high schoolers good luck this year. 

and freshman?

PREPARE FOR DOOM.

There's Nuthin to Say

Well, there isn't.

And I'm really sorry. Truly. Completely. Without-a-doubtedly.

Okay, so that technically wasn't a word.

But who cares about spelling right now? I have made a mistake. A mistake in which I put my grades and schoolwork in front of blogging and worrying about fashion.

The horror!!!

But seriously, I owe you guys some pics to commemorate for this travesty. But I actually haven't recently taken any pictures of myself for this blog, so I guess there really isn't any reason to keep reading this room.

*looks around nervously, making sure everyone hasn't left the room*

haha to them! 

Of course I will show you guys pictures! Those people don't deserve to see them anyways. Well, good. We've weeded out the weak.

So, although I do not have any pictures of mwahhhh to show you guys, I will show you pictures of the best winter looks.

Picture me, living up north. Get in my frame of mind. *closes eyes.*

It's -3 degrees LITERALLY outside. I'm not exaggerating. It's snowing hard and once you shovel off your whole deck, it's completely covered again. You go inside, look at your carefully picked out school outfit, shrug your shoulders, and go to school in the winter boots and sweatpants you slept in last night. You throw on a sweatshirt OVER THE SWEATPANTS and avoid makeup and looking in the mirrors. Your heart races all the way to school, fearing you'll be mocked and made fun of, but realize when you get there that EVERYONE ELSE IS WEARING SWEATPANTS TOO. And then you cry in the bathroom and eat a bagel.

Whew! Glad that's over. But it's the truth.

Well, partially. 

You guys know that I would never wear sweatpants to school. It's a joke, really. Me + sweatpants= apocalypse. If I'm wearing sweats to school, the world must really be coming to an end.

But it is freezing. And you want to be comfy. BUT YOU NEVER WANT TO BLEND IN.

That's really the key to fashion. Feeling comfortable with your self-image, but still looking great.

I would personally suggest the following ideas for when you just can't get out of bed:

Patterned leggings: They may seem flimsy, but you can get fleece ones and they can make them in aDORable patterns!

Nother one: Furry boots. They don't have to be ugly to be warm. You can find functional, cute boots that work perfectly for YOUR style.

And, finally, hats. Hats can be warm and soooo fashionable at the same time. Plus, rocking a hat means you get to hide a bad hair day. It's just too perfect.

Alrighty, good luck on your winter shopping! I wish you all the best of luck!

extravaganza!

Have you ever heard somebody say that word? 

I should hope so. 

But does anybody really know what it means? 

I sure didn't....until....

Moments ago, when I looked it up.

So here you go, folks, EXTRAVAGANZA!

ex·trav·a·gan·za

ikˌstravəˈganzə/

noun

1.

an elaborate and spectacular entertainment or production.

So, yeah. I have clearly been on an extravaganza...

Of what, you say?

C'mon, folks, are we really that ignorant? Go read the title of this blog. 

Now go back and read the last post.

Now go bang your head against the wall as you realize what you're reading.

It's a FASHION blog, doofus! A fashion blog! Which means that I went shopping, and it means that you clearly have wardrobe problems or you wouldn't be reading this. 

Sorry, that was rude. But true. I'm sorry. No, I'm not. Agh!!!!

Anyways, finally I shall get to the main point of this post. 

I have gone shopping the last two weekends and I'm going to go shopping today. I know, it sounds like a lot. But it's not what you think.

I don't take my calendar and say, "Hmm, let's go shopping for the next three weekends in a row. That sounds like fun!"

No. No no no.

I merely have been asked THREE TIMES IN A ROW to go shopping with my friends. This ultimately means THREE THINGS.

1. I have amazing friends who like driving me to malls.
2. They either read my blog, or know from my wardrobe that I have awesome fashion opinion.
3. I am seriously running out of money and need to get a job.

And I also don't know what to buy. I have tons of sweaters. But what else to you need in the winter?

Well, I could use some jeans.

And some....

Well, shopping is fun, okay? I like it!!!! I don't think there is a single female on the planet who doesn't like it. So I will limit my shopping from now on! After today.....

Hey, it's her birthday! I couldn't say no, could I?

jeans

Ugh. Go listen to it. Youtube. The Neighborhood. Anyways...(I apologize for using that!)

Here are all my sweaters! I will surely add more as time goes on and I go shopping more.

And I hope you buy lots of sweaters because what else are you going to wear? Sorry for not posting in a while! I was busy with, ya know, high school and homework and stuff.

First Day Looks

Hey, guys. 

Soooooooo my first day of high school is tomorrow.

I know, how could someone this amazing with fashion still be so youthful and exciting?

Well, it's a gift.

But I am kinda freaking out right now. 

About, you know, the bus and lockers and meeting new people and stuff.

But my current worry is what to wear on day one.

This is very important. What you wear on the first day can make or break your popularity.

Okay, I'm being semi-dramatic. But everyone likes compliments, right?

And I know all you other freshman have got to be worried, too.

So, I have for you a list of the coolest BTS teen looks.

Have fun :)

Look One- preppy nineties. Think Clueless. Wear long socks, powerful tailored coats and Mary Janes.

Look Two- hippie summer. Keep all your Coachella-worthy headbands and crop tops and throw in a pair of your fave jeans for warmth.

Look Three- city elegant. Sparkles and skater skirts and compliments long enough to last you your entire year.

Look Four- classic patriot. Celebrate the USA by wearing pieces such as oxfords, button-downs and tons of JEANS.

Look Five- DIY guy. Wear something casual and then jazz it up with something homemade. It's super cheap and totally unique!

Well, you're welcome. And, hey, feel free to leave a comment. As long as it's polite. I need to hear from people like you to make my blog a success!

And good luck, freshman, on your first day!
