Mix it up!

The inspiration for this post is all the magazines out there that have mix & match articles showing you how to mix it up for casual, school, date night and blah blah blah.

However, I believe this post to be more realistic and contain outfits that any girl may find in her closet. Plus, this article is based on a specific piece. My $4 forever 21 Brittish inspired tee-shirt that I found on clearance in (Im aware im not XXL but i like the comfy fit . Plus it's that eighties style thats coming back in)This article shows you how you can dress up your favorite tee ( mine being the Britt tee) for anything from a job interview or just lounging around the house.

I just thought this picture was pretty cool

I'm wearing the central piece ( forever 21 Brit shirt) with $40 steve madden boots, white gap skinny jeans, and an inexspensive forever 21 necklace

The pictures above were my favorite pictures because we took them at this really unkept house we saw and I thought my skinny jeans would look awesome contrasted to the dirty bed (wich I regret laying on...) but ,of course, I had to let the owner know that I would be laying on there front porch.So longer story short we ended up meeting the SWEETEST lady who had about 4 or 5 dogs with quarky names like mr. snuffles ,mrs. sweetie and princess lady butter cup (Those were there exact names)

This outfit can be used for a night out on the town or when you feel like dressing up for school:)






Yes. My legs are white and pasty. Aside from that this outfit was put together for a day in the Texas summer sun; specifically, if you were going to six flags or just hanging out with friends.

I'm wearing my tee with black a&e ballet flats, cute $7 teal shorts from ross (I bought them so I could just have something to wear in the summer that I could get dirty) and a chunky pink necklace from forever 21








This is the wake up in the morning and you feel like crap so you throw on something comfy (but still cute) and go get yourself a nice STRONG cup of coffee kind of outfit.

The outfit consist of fleur-de-lis rhinestone earings, I consider them southern bling ( suhth-ern bling: Big bold jewelry southern belles were which usually consist of fleur-de-lis, crosses, teal and LOTS of rhinestones. The bigger the better.) Yoga pants with a fleur-de-lis rhinestoned on the back, these pants are my go to comfy pants and of course my Britt tee.

P.S. We found this antique little slug bug next to what we assumed was an old car shop but half way through our giggley picture taking my dear photographer and I heard loud banging coming from the garage and fled the scene.

The retro eighties look when your feeling rebelious in a breakfast club sort of way.

I'm wearing acid wash seven jeans, vintage eighties flats, and bangles from a little frillie boutique in my town.

These pictures were taken on an old train many people in Keller go to for there senior pictures and what not. Its a very cool little historical landmark.

Lastly the job interview outfit. Which I admit I wear to school frequently.

This look from top to bottom: a beaded anthropology head band, my Britt tee, the pencil skirt is from nordstrom rack (some eco friendly brand) I love this skirt because it has black and white frilled material going diagonal across the skirt with a zipper it's very fun:), and lastly pink velour nine west heels

My photogenic blond blue eyed photographer (sweedish decent i believe?)

I told her she couldn't hide behind the camera for long so we switched places. I think we both did well :)

UPDATE: My photograhper/best friend is of Norwegian and Ukrainian decent , not Sweedish, i am a fool. Sorry.

September 23rd: Summer is officially over!

Now that summer is officially over and teens are in the "system" for the next eight months, I thought I would take a look back at the 2010 summer fashion momments and trends....

You like? Well get some next year when they're back in season....
I know I own at least six floral dresses and I may break the season barior and wear my darker floral dresses with a cardigan and skinny jeans.

Another thing I will miss? Beachwear .....

O look... it's floral

Ed Hardy swim suit. I admit i'm sick of seeing Ed Hardy, but theres no denying that this is a cute suit! I especailly love the bow in the back (although it would definently be dificult to swim in)

I just had to add this for giggles.Bieber is censored for your viewing.

and here are some memorable fashion moments:

Above is Alexander Mcqueen and one of his many aesthetic heels. The man really turned fashion into art. He had 3-D fashion shows! Not impressive enough? Mcqueen was Gaga's right hand man when it came to fashion those two brought about gaga's infamous lobster claw heels and much much more.
Rest in peace Mcqueen.

Katy Perry debuted her video for the much craved "California girl" single. While I loved the theme the whipcreme bra may have been a little much. But see those adorable short shorts?They are Diesel shorts handmade for Katys video. That means someone somewere put on each of those beads hand by hand, and Katy just gave those shorts away to a contest winner!

P.S. expect a post tomorrow on fall trends to come! :D

60's flashback

I adore this video! Very cute little dance routine, no? Nancy Sinatra was a rebel in the music industry and probably one of the first "blonde bombshells" in the pop industry.

But the main reason i posted this video was to point out how much the fashion industry is drawing from history- the long boots, sequins dress, crazy hair volume, and tight black pants. It's all coming back.
Just take a look at Guess and their new ad campaign:

By the way, I've seen that cute purse (the one in the second picture with the heart)

In a Marshalls for WAY cheaper than the Guess price. So if it catches your eye and you go to buy... think Marshalls.

Im assuming this 2010 Guess ad is geared torwards teenagers considering teens generally wore poodle skirts(or flamingo skirts) back in the day and its very Grease (which was set in a highschool). I just wonna bust out in song....

We go together like rama lama lama ke ding a de dinga a dong!!

:D

blog and blogger

First off, i would like to say that I single handedly brake the stereotype that states all teenagers have crazy awesome skills when it comes to technology. I know how to use microsoft and I know how to get by on facebook. But I have a love for fashion that knows no bounds (even when it comes to technology) so I am creating this blog to show the industry what teenagers like, love, and think about fashion. I also intend to post cute outfits, trends and news from the fashion world.

About this blogger:
I am a Texan first and foremost. I have lived in this wonderfull state for 17 years but my plans are bigger than Texas. Being a very organized person (I have a victioria secret pink organizer that is always in eyesight) my future is already planned- College at either UT or John Cabot University in Italy ( I have been to Italy once and I believe I left my heart on the streets of Rome) and after graduating with my MBA in business I will pursue modeling and then a career in the fashion industry, after I have left my imprint in the industry i would like to return to dear Texas and live somewere were the closest grocery store is further than a "stones throw away".
As mentioned in my future plans I have been in Italy as well as London and France. I had the chance to go thorough EF tours a group my mother , a french teacher,worked through to take some students on a trip. The trip showed me that even though America is very cultured I am missing out on alot and I still have much to see.
Back to Texas, I live in a suburbian area of North Texas but my favorite part of Texas is Collinsville, Texas. A middle of nowhere town were my great grandmother ventured to on a covered wagon and has stayed there eversince.
