Cranberries Are Sweet

 I went to New York City awhile back for a college visit (it was disappointing, I cried) and my mother and I did a little shopping, a.k.a we went to Zara, looked at pretty clothes and bought the cheapest thing there, this lovely shirt. It has become a staple in my wardrobe and I love it. Any shade of red is perfect for me, the color looks amazing on me, but only because I am secretly a vampire. (shhhh. . . don't tell.)

Doc Martens, I love you. So much. Also jeans I have had since 8th grade, I love you.

Maybe I'm a Blue Bird

How cool is this hat I am wearing? I am in love with it. My best friend and I were in an antique shop and I saw this and I had to have it. It is the most perfect hat there is. I honestly do not think there could be such a beautiful hat around, since it is a) blue (DUH DA BEST COLOR EVER) b) vintage, so therefore it is awesome c) it looks like a little Russian girl/ sailor hat. Also this dress is slowly becoming my favorite dress in my wardrobe   
 I look cute and secretive, therefore your argument is invalid. (Not really you are all entailed to your own opinion.)

Point and Shoot

 I have stolen my fathers old school camera from him and he is never getting it back. Ever. It is coming to college with me and I want to watch him try to change that fact of life.
The camera is slightly faulty right now though, I tried using it for a photo project and none of the pictures turned out. I cried. Excuse me for having high stress levels.

Snow White, Snow Bright

 The first snow is always the best. These red oxfords are also the best. But snow plus leather shoes, does not equal the best. Oh well, shoes are meant to be worn so of course they will get wet, distressed, and tired looking. This sweater also makes me happy, a friend described it as "hipster cameo" which so fits. I don't classify myself as hipster, I classify myself as nerdfighter-rookie-wholock-who-reads-creates-art-and-likes-clothes. Or you can call me weird and an art freak.  

  I looked so washed out. Oh well.

Rooftop Musings

College applications stress me out.  A lot. And getting a portfolio ready makes me stressed, painting doesn't though, strange world. I just want to be accepted  to my top college, go there and do what I want to do for the rest of my life. Please let me accepted to college. Please, please, please,please.

 I stand on rooftops on a windy day in a dress while people run by my house. I lead a good life. Polka dots are also the greatest things ever in the world. Just letting you all know I am obsessed with them.

 I have decided to hide my face from the world for a little while. The world cannot handle all of it's astounding beauty at the moment. I instead present you with sweggings, not sweatpants, not jeggings, and not leggings! They really are the most amazing thing, I had wanted a pair of sweatpants that I could dress up then lo and behold these beauties found their way into my life. (They literally just showed up and I took them.) It has been bliss since then. This is my Ralph Lauren sweater vest I mentioned before. It makes me happy just thinking about it, which I do often since I am currently wearing it. It is also one of my favorite shades of blue so that is a perk! Long live the glorious color blue and Ralph Lauren and may you grace the presence of my closet often in the future.

Raspberry socks are raspberry! Paired with taupe booties they make the world go round.
 (I look like such a hipster loser.)

Dark Blue, Dark Blue

 The color blue is just such a lovely and calm color. I really do not understand why it is classified as a "boy" color when you are younger and pink is a "girl" color. Since when do we classify your gender through a color? And why would an intelligent society base something through a color? I am honestly baffled and upset with whoever came up with the idea to give little boys blue blankets and little girls pink blankets? My closet is full of all different shades of blue, honestly a third of my closet is blue. There is a little touch of pink. Just a tad. So stick that in your juice box and suck it silly gender color identification.





I love my Dr. Martens. 6 bucks at a thrift store. So happy with these shoes. I need more Docs though.
