homecoming

Homecoming was a blast! Spirit week was super fun (this was the first year I really participated, mostly because my best friend is on class office!), and I got to help set up for the dance after the game - which we won (surprise, surprise).

We kicked off the week with "Deck the Halls". I helped decorate our class's designated hallway, outfitting it for our circus theme. We had to get creative with the supplies we had, and though we didn't win, I thought we did pretty good:





Friday was the Homecoming game versus Mt. Si, and my beautiful bff Madison was a Homecoming Princess! (She had to bend down and I had to stand on my tiptoes cause she's 10 inches taller than me and was wearing 5 inch heels.)


And Saturday was the day we'd all been waiting and preparing for, for the past month. Unfortunately, I was helping set up at the school until 11:30 and had to wake up at 6:30 to help out at my brother's football game. Needless to say, I drank two Starbucks and two 16oz Red Bulls that day. 

After my brother's freezing cold game, the prep began. Showering, eyebrow plucking, facial exfoliating, lotioning, etc. At 1:30 I curled Ms. Madi's hair and then finished up my own prep. 


I took some inspiration from the ever so lovely (and newly engaged!) Ms. Lauren Conrad. Did some loose curls and a subtle smokey eye, to pair with my deep purple J.Crew dress and major rhinestone necklace. 


And this was the result! 


Me and my boyfriend Justin. He's a senior so this was his last homecoming! (Maybe I can sneak him into mine next year ;) We had such a great time, and he made it so special :)

OOTD: Fashion Risks

Though many bloggers and fashion connoisseurs may not call a fur (faux) vest a "fashion risk" for a girl in high school who is surrounded by judgements, it's generally acknowledged as a risk. So I took it. This year is all about showing my personality and love of fashion and sophistication through my clothes. My mom bought me this vest almost two years ago and I've been so scared to wear it, but I decided that I don't care what other people think, if I like the way it looks, than I'm gunna wear it.


I paired my {Old Navy} vest with a {C&C} striped tee, {Lululemon} groove leggings, and my {Bandolino} boots - which I wear with literally EVERYTHING.


Getting through homecoming week! I'll do a post on my outfit and preparation process soon!

AHS: Coven

Okay, let me just tell you I LOVE horror movies. And horror tv shows. AKA - I LOVE American Horror Story.

I watched the first season on Netflix and immediately became obsessed. I watched the whole season in like 4 days. I have a sickness. But, unfortunately, I found out that the second season had already been running and I couldn't find episodes ANYWHERE. Air go - sad me. BUT I also found out that each season is basically a different story so I didn't need to watch the second season before the third!

American Horror Story: Coven (season 3) premiered last night and it's now set to my DVR. I just watched it. 3 words. Oh. My. God. Crazy. But. Amazing. Insane. But. Breathtaking. The perfect amounts of freaky and weird, while still being entertaining.

So obviously, I suggest that you all watch it. Right now. Go. Watch it.

Back to the Grind...

Yes, it's that time of year again. I've jumped in head first, to a pile of school work, SAT Prep, tutoring, and babysitting. Luckily, I've gotten one roadblock out of the way: the dreaded SAT. I took it last weekend and I really hope that the months of work have paid off!

And do to this terrible nose to the grindstone, I have been M. I. A., which I always hate. So here's just a quick little update, and I hope to do more of these even though life is crazy right now!

I didn't get the greatest picture, but I snapped a quick OOTD pic with my phone the other day...




My "Hello Gorgeous" shirt basically sums my style up in one piece. Sparkles. Stripes. And a positive message, that will hopefully brighten peoples day! {Old Navy}
I paired it with bootcut Hudsons and some Oxford style booties (stolen from my mom), and a new middle part (not pictured) that I'm trying to decide if I like...

I'll try to continue to update as much as possible!!
