$up,
This is my outfit from day two of the first weekend of Coachella. I made this dress by hand. I know it's really tacky, but I really love exactly how tacky it is. It reminds me of Romy and Michele's High School Reunion. I love these shoes I am wearing because one they are super 90s, and to they smell like tutti frutti. All of the shoes by the company Melissa smells like tutti frutti, it's pretty great. They have also done collaborations with Vivian Westwood, they are worth checking out for sure.

The best performance on saturday was Ty Segall, hands down. Right after his performance my brother and I got stopped to do a video for H&M. They just videoed what we were wearing, but they were really interested in my brother for some modeling jobs. Unfortunately I got cut from the video, but my brother is in it!

I feel super brandalicious in this post. I never really wear this many brands, but I was so excited about my newest purchases. I got these beautiful rainbow moodys for free because I bought this unif shirt during their moody promotion ~score~. The top is a little bit off white, so I had to wear something that was a little bit off white. I paired it with this American Apparel dress (but I wore it as a skirt) and it actually looked better than I expected. I then through this vest on. I started making this vest over the summer and I just finished it at the end of last term. Unfortunately it is winter and it is freezing, so I can't really wear this and make it look as cool as it would normally. I now endure real winters, unlike California, I can't hang. Taking this picture was pretty miserable, but it had to be done. Incase you can't tell, the back is entirely embroidered and it says "BB I'm Fabulous". Lastly I put on these beat up Jeffrey Campbell platform Oxfords. These were my first platform shoes, and I have loved them to pieces, but their time is almost up. It's really sad when you spend a lot of money on shoes that fall apart in a couple of years. When I start to make and sell shoes, I am going to make sure that they never break/ fall apart. If they ever do, it will be after like 20 years or something. Quality.

My mom got here today and I couldn't be happier. I have a lot of really fun things that I am planning to do with her, one of them being a Harry Potter studio tour!

Sup,
Today was my first day at Uni. I don't think I had really high expectations, because I was having a lot of trouble getting pumped up to start my course. I didn't really have fun the first day, it was disappointing really. I arrived to my first orientation type meeting and there were a lot of different kinds of fashion students there. Some of them seemed really cool, but others just seemed like the type of fashion students you hear about, rich and bitchy. I almost feel like there were less people that had their own personal style which I was pretty bummed about. I met someone that was pretty cool though.

When we set off into smaller groups I met everyone in my course, and I remember just thinking "Where do I belong in this course." I am so different from everyone else, not just by appearance but the things that I am in to. It actually made me feel really upset. I love being different, and I love to stand out, but sometimes you just want someone to get you. I know it was only the first day and it's stupid to think that your going to automatically have friends on the first day of class, but I guess I am just super out of my element. I know things will get better, and I will eventually find my crowd, but it's frustrating that it isn't instantaneously. ugh, life.

These glasses were part of my care package from Giant Vintage Sunglasses, aren't they awesome? I figured it would go well with this skirt. I think the jacket really ties it all together. I got this jacket a while back at the Rose Bowl Flea Market. Thats something I really miss about LA. I will definitely be making a stop down there when I come back for winter break. I topped off the whole outfit with my Ego and Green platform sandals. I fell a couple of times today wearing these shoes. I swear the cobble stone roads are going to be the death of me.

$up,
These pictures were from a couple days ago. I had bought this turban from Something4you a while ago and only wore it once or twice. I really love the turbans and head raps that they sell, they are super affordable and comfortable which in my opinion is the best combination a company can have. I knew I wanted to wear it a couple of days ago I also knew I wanted to wear these awesome new shoes that I got from the Rose Bowl Flea Market this past sunday. Its a mixture of 40s and 70s so I wasn't really sure what to wear with these accessories. I had these pants that have always been to big for me, (but I wear them anyway.) that I got at Sun Thrift. They are red velvet and covered in flowers, right up my alley. whenever I wear them they kind of are drowning on me, so I kind of stopped wearing them for a while. I made the decision to cut them into shorts- I feel like this can either go really well or horribly. Lucky this time I think that I made the right decision. Lastly I put on this wonderful crop top I got at American Apparel a couple of years ago.

$up,
I wasn't entirely sure how I felt about wearing this. I think I'm between styles and I don't exactly feel comfortable in anything right now. It's strange because I have never really felt uncomfortable like this before. Clothing was always something that I didn't really care what other people thought. Now it's strange. I wanted to wear a little black dress today, but all the ones I had didn't really look so good. The one I am wearing was a long dress that I had cut to make shorter. Still don't know if I ruined a perfectly fine dress or if I made it better. I just recently got a bunch of socks from target for when I move away (truthfully, I have needed socks for a while, but moving was an excuse to have my mom buy them.) The socks came folded down in a pack, and I thought it was so cute I rolled them down when I put them on. I don't normally do that but I thought it was so suiting and cute with this outfit. Lastly I put on these white docs. I love these shoes, they are the first shoes I ever bought for myself. They are kind of worn down, but they are still kickin'. The bag is still my favorite, but it isn't very convenient when you have a lot to carry or take out of your purse. Yesterday I had a bunch of errands, and I swear I almost lost everything in my bag to the floor a number of times. I think I need to find someway to have the straps attach to the bottom of the bag instead of the top.

Tomorrow I am selling some t-shirts new and old at the Rose Bowl Flea Market. If you are interested in the new shirts or the old ones for a cheaper price then listed on my etsy store, PLEASE check us out!

4th

This is my attempt at being patriotic. Now that my hair is blue, I have to stray away from certain articles of clothing because I will look to goth or my worst nightmare of being scene or emo. I decided today I am going to wear red lipstick even though it doesn't really go with my hair. Sometime wearing things that don't go together really makes me feel a scene of originality and power but other times it makes me feel icky. I don't really know why, I guess it kind of just depends on what it is. Red and blue together makes me feel icky, but today its okay because its the 4th of july! AND BOY IS IT HOT. I'm realising more and more how much I really don't like the heat, thank god next month I will be in England were the high is 70 degrees. I made this skirt for Coachella and I love wearing it, I am a sucker for sheer things. The leotard is not a bathing suit, its a leotard, and its from american apparel. Its very comfortable and I really love to wear it, but I have a lot of trouble making it look good with other articles of clothing. I think it looks really well with the skirt though. Its really to hot to be on my computer right now, so I am going to take a dip in the pool! HAPPY 4th!
