A Fancy for Flare

Oh the IRONY that when I finally get my legs a suitable size for skinny jeans the flare jean starts to worm its way into relevancy again. Though skinnies are not even close to being 'out', flare jeans are the new-new style that fashionistas can rock with their noses in the air and with a "I'm-being-a-trend-setter" smile. 

Guess that means I'll have to buy TWO types of jeans for fall. Oh darn. NAWT!

Some ah-mazing and ah-fordable pairs (<--Clique speak. Any The Clique Series fans out there?) 

7 for all Mankind - Ginger (These are in my closet. Got them at a discount denim trunk show from school. Yay!) 

Bullhead Blue Horizon Jeans from PacSun (they have a great buy 2 for $55 sale going on right now)

Hudson Jeans...*drool*. They are SO COMFORTABLE. However, their prices, not comfortable. Meh.

Found this nifty pair at hottopic.com for the reasonable price of $29

Stickin with skinny jeans? Fiddlin around with flares? Have any favorite jean brands? Share!!!

It really makes you think...

As much as I want to believe the powerful statement in the picture...it's hard.

These past 20 years on planet Earth have been super fabbity fab fab. But sometimes I do wish I had a time turner (HP reference) to fix things - namely my GPA :P (trust me I did NOT want it to ever be where it is now haha)

But I currently want to see what it would be like being a lawyer and I also want to see what it would be like being an investment banker.

However I don't want to pursue these careers, get heavily involved, realize I hate it, and be stuck and full of regret.

To be honest, I have never really regreted anything I have done - even the slackin off in Japanese and my crackin under the pressure Freshman year of Dook - but I don't want my hard work for a potential career to be my first one.

I bet you are thinking...well, why doesn't she go for her dream career? Dream careers = no regrets.

Yeah...my dream career is to be a ninja. The world doesn't have those anymore. So I'll settle for almost-as-cool alternatives. :P But I'm not 100% on them 

and that worries me.

Anyone out there stressin about future plans? Frettin over regrets? Does anyone work in i-banking or lawyer-ing that can give me some advice so I can stop freeeeeeakin out? Leave a comment and let me knowwww dearies!

Okee dokee - gonna go to my neuroscience homework now!

Stay Cool,

Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, Sorry...Shawty, Shawty, Shawty, Shawty

Gaaah!
Blog neglection! Super sorry yall. I've been working and doing school and it has been a little more intense than last summer session. I have financial accounting and neruroscience. Not saying that Spanish and English were easier, but I enjoyed doing them so they felt less like work and more like fun...really long and structured fun. :P Neuroscience is fun too but financial accounting is NOT. Seriously, neurosci almost makes me want to become a neurosci major...almost.
I am finally starting to get used to the way things work so I shall start posting a lil bit more frequently soooooon.
I also had a sweeeeeeet birthday adventure last week! I shall be sharing that awesomeness too.

In the mean time...
Beautiful KPop men singing a song with a chorus that I can relate to...because it is in English and has the word Sorry in it. They also say "Shawty" which makes me giggle every time. Enjoy!




What have yall been up to lately? Can you do the Sorry Sorry dance in the music video? Share Below!!!

Thank You For Being a Friend Part 4: Rose Nylund

This is part four to Thank You For Being a Friend, my tribute to The Golden Girls. Part One on 

Sophia Petrillo can be seen here , Part Two for Dorothy Zbornak here, and Part Three for Blanche Devereaux here. :) 

Rose Nylund 

 

Rose Nylund is the nicest one of the girls, the most wholesome, and she is also the dumb blonde. Betty White, who is still alive - check out her new show Hot in Clevland (it's HILARIOUS) - shines in her portrayal of a kindhearted and naive lady from St. Olaf, Minnesota. You always knew she was about to share a (often ridiculous to everyone but her) story from her time in her hometown when you would hear her say, "Back and St. Olaf" and then hear an immediate groan or a sigh from Sophia, Dorothy, and Blanche. She offers wisdom from her Viking roots, not only with stories, but also with "Scandinavian" vocabulary (examples: “Gerkanenaken”: The exact moment when dog feces turns white “GoWackaNoggin”: A baseball-like game where you just hit yourself on the head with a bat.). 

Rose's style is like her, nice and wholesome. She has items like Blanche that are girly and feminine, such as pastel colors and lots of skirts and dresses. However, she sometimes wears men-styled tops like Dorothy. Often this is a collared shirt under a blazer. She also wears dresses with a collar style neck.

She also wears the collared shirts under patterned sweaters. She often wears pants with her sweaters. They are very Cliff Huxtable a-la-Cosby show, no? I feel they bring out her funny and playful side.

Like Blanche, she also often wore a matching jacket and pants suit with a top underneath.

I always end these posts with what I would wear to emulate Rose and what she would wear if she was a trend following fashionista my age. This being the last of the girls means that this is the last time :( 

Here we go!!!!

My Rose Nylund look would be a feminine dress. The dress would have print to emulate her fun sweaters. I would also have on heels and socks to make it a bit more girlish and wholesome feminine (as opposed to Blanche's sexy feminine). Rose often had on pearl jewlery so I would wear pearl drop earrings and a pearl necklace. 

I can see Rose's young, spring 2010 trend-lover self, boldly sporting the tie die trend. It would be in a swingy dress, like the Proenza Schouler one above. She would also wear heels and socks, but the socks would be ruffly and girly to up the "sweetness factor".

 

What would you do to create a Rose look? Do you think I captured Rose's style? Are you a Golden Girls fan? Check out all four of the girls and let me know your favorite. I'd love to hear from you!!!

From LookBook Looker to LookBook Booker??

Whatever you want to call it, I basically made the transition from just hyping other peoples' looks to posting my own goofy pictures for others to judge.

I was told I "Looked Like Summer Today". Agree? Disagree?

Are you on Lookbook? Send me a link! I'll check you out!

Want to be on Lookbook? I have an invite that I am just dying to give out away. If you want it tell me in the comments below.

No Point for Me to Drop Acid - I Have Disney Movies!!!

Case in Point:

Remember me saying I was scared of Disney movies as a wee one? Yeah... this scene was the reason why I only saw Dumbo once until I hit a double digit age. And I didn't fully appreciate it until I was 18. Forgive my past ignorance. I'm a late bloomer in many, many ways.

What's your favorite Disney trip-tastic moment? Are Disney Movies your Anti-Drug? Holla back in the comments, dearies!

Tons o'Disney Love,

And All Shall Know the Wonder of Purple Summer

Happy Summer Solstice! 
It certainly has been a very happy few days lately. 

Top 3 Things That Happened to Me This Weekend:

1. My family came to visit and I got to take them on a tour of my Not-So-Secret-Garden and my Hogwarts-like campus. They loved it!

2. I got paid!!!! And splurged at Sephora. I'm like a kid in a candy store in Sephora. Dropped about 1/3 of my paycheck on makeup (some of which is photographed below)

3. Heard back from Zephyr, the editor in chief of CollegeFashion.net and I was selected out of $#@%-tons of girls to be a Looks On Campus Contributor. So I guess if you want to read more of my style ramblings, you can head there in a few weeks and read what I have to say about the fashionistas and fashionistos on campus. 

I figured I need to get used to my camera again since I'm going to be photoging AND writing for CF, so I took a few shots of my First Day of Summer/Purple Summer (From Spring Awakening - Any musical freaks out there?) inspired makeup I'll be wearing out tonight. The gold-ish purple turns into light purple which turns into a blue purple, like the sky during a really cool sunset (see picture above). Unfortunately, my camera takes great photos of others and horrible ones of me so the colors are not as cool as they look in real life.

Do you like it? Does is scream "Purple Summer" or Does it look too cray-cray?

(p.s. forgive my eyebrows, they are naturally super thick and look insanely caterpillar like really close up, aaaand I promise I have pupils even though you cannot see them. My eye color is extremely dark brown and is almost a black as my actual pupil :P)

Once again, Happy First Day of Summer! 

Comment on how your summer is going! I would love to hear! :)

Naturalment - Work it like an Aristocat!

The Aristocats is one of my favorite Disney movies. When I was little the word "Disney" was synonymous to "Music!" and "SCARY!!!". My mother bought me the sing-a-long videos so I knew every Disney song when I was 5 years old. (Lame Alert! Get ready...) However, I didn't see most of the movies until I was over 10 years old because I was terrified of 3/4ths of the films. They had such creepy characters!! I couldn't watch Alice in Wonderland (that creepy cat), Pinocchio (that terrifying whale), Snow White (that mean witch), the list goes on and on and on. 

However I COULD watch the Aristocats.

I loved the pretty little Parisian kitties, Marie, Toulouse, and Berlioz, with their caring and kind Madame. I also took comfort that the Mama Cat, Duchess, sounded like Lisa from Green Acres. And that was because she WAS Lisa from Green Acres, Eva Gabor. 

Today I show my Aristocat love by 1. Having an ADORABLE pink shower cover-up with Marie on it and 2. Taking the time to wear an outfit or two inspired by the movie. 

I have worn my inspired Duchess outfit for awhile, however the inspiration to write about it came from the CollegeFashion.net article on Fashion Inspiration: Walt Disney's Snow White.

My Duchess outfit is a Winter look. It gets incredibly hot in the Summer here, but the Winters are almost unbearable. (p.s. When I say unbearable I mean that I've only seen snow 5 times in my life so I'm not used to the cold AT ALL.)

I don't have any pictures of the look and I couldn't find exactly the same things that I wear, but what I Polyvore-ed together looks pretty close!

Duchess is a white cat with "eyes like Sapphires". I would wear my plush, faux-fur lined and cuffed, snow white swing coat with sapphire colored earrings. Her collar sometimes looks red, sometimes looks reddish-gold. I just wear a golden pearl necklace that is really close to my neck, almost like a collar necklace or choker. Underneath the coat I wear a black and white Parisian-stripe looking top with a black skirt. Finally to represent the pink ears I wear a pink beret.

As much as I love Duchess, Marie is my favorite girl character in the movie. Seeing that CF article really inspired me to do a new Disney look, but I can't do my Duchess look because coats and 100 degree weather do not mix very well. So for my Marie look I made it a Summer outfit.

This look has the cute and classy lwd (lil white dress). The white dress and white sandals are great for Summer and they work for representing Marie's fur. The big pink bow on my head will be for pink ears. 

Like Duchess, Sapphire eyes represented by pretty Sapphire earrings I found on Etsy.

To represent her bow/collar on her neck I will wear a pink choker necklace I also found on Etsy.

Or instead of wearing a bow on my head, I could be super otaku and wear white plastic Neko (Japanese for Cat) Ears with pink fur inside...Nah. I think I'll save the ears for when I go to anime cons. :P

I haven't ordered the items yet to make this Marie look, but I will soon!

What do you think of my looks for Duchess and Marie? Should I do anything differently to show my Parisian kitty style? They say "Everybody Wants To Be A Cat". I know that I do! Do you? :) 

Let me know dowwwwwn below.
