Over the holidays I got a pair of flats, which I must admit, is a FIRST for me. I don’t believe I have really had a pair of cute flats since high school. I usually wear heels, wedges, boots with platforms, etc. The reason I finally broke down and accepted a pair of flats into my life is because these are special. What I mean is that these are not just any flat shoes! They are not only delicately beautiful and handcrafted with Italian leather, but they are also the only orthopedic flat shoes that I know about! Yes, they have arch support and are great for traveling, standing, any activity on your feet. I got these for work since I am a hair stylist, AKA: a slave to standing.

It snows here like once a year so I took advantage of this opportunity. However, I wouldn’t advise anybody to walk in snow with these babies unless you want frostbite. I’m sure the snow isn’t great for the quality of the genuine leather either! I will be sure to post a review of Tieks once I have broken them in and can accurately get a feel for what they offer my tootsies!

Outfit of the Day: Neutral and Capris

Alternative Style, Barbie, Express, Kat Von D, L.U.V, Neutrals, OOTD, Outfit of the Day

As you can see I was very bored with my hair so I went with a change up! I pushed it back with some gel, the Hard Up blue gel by Sexy Hair, and it laid back over my teased crown fairly well. The tank top is from Express and I love neutral tones so much, and I also love how it is low cut, skin tight, and has vertical ribbing all around! The capri pants were given to me from a co-worker and I wasn’t too keen on them at first because I hadn’t worn capri jeans since I was younger, but they fit really well. I am so cold-natured, I can def. use them when I am out at a restaurant. Actually, the night I wore this I went with family to a pizza place that was freezing, so it worked out. Bracelet is Marc Jacobs, wedges by Coach. Tan by Lancome.

My lipstick is THE MOST TALKED ABOUT THING I WEAR. All of my co-workers and female clients gaze at my new matte lipsticks and ask me where they can purchase them. I will do a post on all of them before too long, stay tuned! I believe this one is L.U.V by Kat Von D.

Makeup of the day: Blue Lips

Tags

Alternative Style, Barbie, clear skin

Crazy color lips are super on trend. I decided to try out blue to go with my eyes, and also because I don’t like purple and that’s the crazy color most people stick with. I used Urban Decay’s Electric palette to make this color, since I don’t want to purchase an actual blue lip stick (I’d never use it other than for this blog).

Jewelry of the Day: Word Necklace

Tags

Alternative Style, Barbie, Rue 21

My mom and I went shopping a few months back and she said she picked me out something that describes me well. It was this necklace, but she hide it from me and gave it to me at a later time, I just can’t remember the occasion. Aww, how sweet, right? Lol. I try not to have many fears, but even if I do have fear, I turn it into something else and go from there. 🙂 This necklace is from Rue 21 and there are some other ones that say things like “I’m so fancy”, if you’re into that. I want one that says “Princess”, because, well, obviously I need it to go with my tiara. Tee hee.

Outfit of the Day: Glossy Red and Stripes

Alternative Style, Anime, Barbie, Casual

This is the month of red I guess! All the outfits I have posted for July have red. Hmm, and stripes too.. Lol, that’s weird! I totally didn’t do that intentionally. I love this outfit because it’s simple and sleek. The cami has a lingerie feel to it and the little dolphin shorts are appealing to the eye even though the stripes are horizontal. I can’t remember where the top is from, but the shorts are from Target I believe. The shoes are Coach and they’re super comfy. Funny story about this outfit actually. A few years ago I wore this top and the bottoms to the beach and went out to eat with my family. After the meal I was walking by the bar from the bathroom, and this creepy, grody drunk man at the bar grabbed me by my stomach. He tried to offer me a drink and I remember saying no way and telling him I was only 17! It was really unsettling to me, because I don’t think this outfit is too sexy or revealing and I was just wearing sneakers with it, so it was totally dressed down to me. Anyways, this outfit lives on and I won’t let anyone stop me! Remember: If anyone ever harrasses you, it’s not your fault for what you wear or how you act. It’s the other person who is being the creep. Don’t let creepy men discourage you from living how you want to live! People over-sexualize the female body, screw what everyone thinks and dress comfy and cute!!

Outfit of the Day: Torn up

80's, Alternative Style, Barbie, Casual, Electric Palette, Marc Jacobs, Urban Decay

I love cutting up my shirts!! There’s something very therapeutic about snipping things with scissors, whether it’s hair or clothes or photos for scrapbooks, it’s super relaxing to me. I took this straight edge shirt that a got a few years ago and made it more fun. It started out a little baggy, not much shape, so I fixed that by making it off the shoulder and drawing attention with  triangular spider web slits.

Urban Decay Electric Palette used on my eyes, Marc Jacobs lipstick. Comment, like, or whatever!

Pastel Peekaboos

New hair, Pink Hair, Provonna

I got my hair colored the other week. I waited a couple months before getting color so that I would regain some integrity within my hair. I think it worked because my hair doesn’t feel damaged from these newly lightened spots. After lightening some hair underneath my auburn hair, then I got some neon pink put on. The pink isn’t very bright, it came out as a pastel color, which is pretty so I like it. I already know what I want to do with it next though! I probably won’t keep it this way very long, but what’s new?! Lol.

National Edge Day

Happy national Straightedge day! To be edge, one refrains from alcohol, smoking, and other recreational drugs. I chose to be Straightedge in 7th grade when I started listening to screamo music and fell in love with the whole scene. Straightedge is like a belief system to me. I try to have good morals and I’ve just never found drugs or anything that alters the mind to be appealing.

What do you live by?

Outfit of the Day: Mad About Plaid

I love crop tops but the weather is about to get too chilly for them. I am going to miss my skimpy outfits this fall. I really dig this outfit, that is one of my newest shirts! I wore this the other weekend to a cute little crepe restaurant downtown. The top is from Forever 21, skirt is Miley Cyrus and Max Azria, shoes are Forever 21 too.
