Black and White

After a long weekend, I was not ready to go back to school today. But since I was forced to, I decided to dress up a little to make me feel better about being locked up for 8 hours.

Today I went for a basic, black and white outfit. I put on my favorite jeans from American Eagle and a new button-up blouse with a pretty plaid print from Forever 21. To dress it up some more I put on some chunky earrings, and cool d’orsay flats from Nine West.

For hair and makeup, I did a big teased up bun for extra drama and simple eye shadow with winged eyeliner. And of course I had to have a pop of color, so I swiped on some hot pink lipstick (Revlon ColorStay in Muse)!

So in love with this look and how bright my lips look against my simple outfit. Whenever you run out of ideas for clothes, try something new with your makeup!

The Dream of the 90’s is Alive

Yes, it is true. The dream of the 90’s is alive, my friends.

Well maybe that isn’t true.. but for me it totally is.

Yesterday was my first day of my Senior year of high school and I decided to come back with a bang. Recently, I have been OBSESSED with the 90’s. High waisted jeans, flannels tied around the waist, dark nails, messy hair, and of course The White Stripes. So because of this, everything I have purchased for back to school has been 90’s inspired. If I can’t grow up in the 90’s I can at least pretend that I am.

I found this super cute, high neck dress at Forever 21 and I am in love with it. To show off the neckline, I wore my (newly dyed, omg so punk rock) hair in a messy pony and added some over-sized stud earring for drama. A pair of funky black flats and cool stackable rings completed this simple yet totally cool outfit.

I am SO excited about this school year and my new, edgy look.

On another note, yes I know I have not posted in over 2 weeks (gasp!) but, I will now be back to posting on an everyday basis.
