Outfit: birthday day

dress: Forever 21  tights: Urban Outfitters  bow & belt:  Forever 21  shoes: Dockers

Yesterday was my 25th birthday, so of course I'm wearing a big giant bow and lots of glitter. I hope I never get to whatever age it is where people go "I think I'm too old to be putting glitter on my face."

  GLITTER TIL I DIE

I started off my birthday by studying for my business finance midterm for about one millions hours, which I recommend to no one ever. Something inside of me died. But then I went out with some of my loveliest friends and ate nachos & macaroni and cheese & chocolate cake shots & whiskey & ice cream, and then everything was perfect once again.

Since this week is a bit too busy to even think about having a real birthday party, I'm having one next week. It's called "Blanket Fort Pizza Party" and it's going to be amazing. Here's to growing old, but never growing up.

Outfit: hearts on hearts

sweater: Target  pants: Forever 21  shoes: Jellypop

I'm a sucker for black clothing with hearts on it, which is one of the reasons this is probably my favorite sweater of all time. It was light enough that I wore it a lot during last summer, and it's warm enough to layer during winter. The pants I'm wearing have fuzzy black velvet hearts and were only $8, so that's pretty magical.

I'm off to do some homework for my Business Finance class, which is exactly as exciting as you would imagine.

Outfit: Pizza Vest

shirt: nollie vest: dolled up pizza patch: fennec design co.  pants: forever 21  shoes: rock & candy

So this is the latest vest I've modified. It's food-themed, but most importantly focuses on PIZZA! It came with the studs, but I added everything else. How amazing is that patch on the back?! The taco and pizza buttons on the collar were given to me by my mum, and the sweet Sailor Moon patch is from my friend Steph. I thought it especially appropriate since Sailor Moon loves junk food and eating all the time. I really like making cute vests with themes. They're fun to plan and put together, and they're comfortable to just throw over whatever outfit I'm wearing!

Outfit: Space Girl

 

dress: Target  space collar: Ether Apparel  boots: thrifted  helmet: ebay

For Halloween this year, I was a Space Girl. I was initially going to be an astronaut/space cadet, but the helmet I ordered off ebay (which I'm wearing above) was ridiculously uncomfortable and floppy. My space cadet collar is from Ether Apparel on Etsy. They make really fantastic pieces, custom made for your size and color preferences, and at pretty inexpensive prices!

Outfit: black velvet

 dress: Forever 21  shirt: Forever 21  shoes: Unionbay  necklace: Michael's bracelet: made by my mom

I don't take outfit pictures as much lately. Lately, I just like wearing lots of black, with black/white stripes or polka dots. I throw on comfy, cozy clothes. So my outfits probably aren't quite as interesting or worthy of pictures, but I still feel cute!

September in Review

This post is a bit late in the month. That's because I'm a bad blogger, guys. Sorry, I'm not sorry. But let's look at some pictures from the lovely month of September!

Towards the end of the month, I took a lovely road trip to San Francisco! We stayed there and in Berkeley for almost a week. There was lots of amazing food, pretty sights, and fun times.

 This alley had lots of amazing street art.

 Tony's had some of the best pizza ever of all time.

Outfit: new hairs

 shirt: ransom  skirt: buffalo  shoes: unionbay

So... I dyed my hair. I was getting really tired of everything in my life being dyed purple: my skin, my clothes, my keyboard,  even my car steering wheel. My hair was also getting pretty damaged from all the bleach and the infrequent washing to try to keep the color from fading. I wanted to dye it a bright red, but it ended up a bit darker and more brown than I wanted. I'm getting used to it now, and it's definitely nice to be able to wash my hair everyday and not worry about getting purple all over the place.
