thoughtless

I could go on and on about how important it is to me to procure a fantastic sartorial cocktail with each and every outfit I create, however I find myself feeling best in simple thoughtless ones lately. I'm not sure what shift occurred, but the past few months have been essentially ones of dark bottoms, knit hats, big sweaters, and sneakers. I know it's not a new idea, but I've learned that it really is true, when you strip your personal style down to it's purest format, what you have left is subsequently the purest representation of you. Clothing that feels so natural for oneself to wear, it simply becomes a part, filling a space that perhaps you weren't aware was there in the first place. Another thing I recently rediscovered as of late is the addictive factor of Polyvore. Details for this set are there, should you be curious. Also, if you feel extra kind, if you would be so inclined to follow...

F(all)

Essentially what I'm wearing in my head right now. Clearly I am in full on fall mode. Not complaining. I'm going to regret saying this because this isn't how I normally speak but..."Happy Saturday!" I guess I really am a blogger now? I'm having just a perfect, chilled out weekend, so it seemed fitting. Also might have to do a bit with the mood all the Frank Ocean I've been listening to has put me in... Don't be ashamed if none of this is making sense to you because it barely makes sense to me either.

No Rules

I made this set on trusty Polyvore, which I love so dearly. Here I created two very different Fall outfits using all of the same pieces yet I switched up the bottoms because yolo no rules in fashion. However, I am pretty excited about how I just took the peplum to the next level there. I haven't seen anyone do a DOUBLE PEPLUM yet so kudos to me. And yes, that called for all caps. Sorry if my writing is sub-par and not as witty (wow I just complimented myself! I'm so lame!)as it usually is, I had to write an in-class essay today so currently the English language is making me shiver. I'm shivering right now. Okay, I have to go finish my homework right now...but if you're interested in where these items are from, check out my polyvore profile page (and follow me?) and it will tell you there. 

Oh, and while you're at it, maybe you could show a sista some love and head on over to my right sidebar and follow this blog up on the various social media devices listed there? You know, Bloglovin, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr...the list goes on these days. Oh technology.

Back to Cool

It still hasn't sunk in yet that today is the last day of summer. What can you do. Tomorrow will be my first day of my sophomore year of high school, so wish me luck! Now here's an awkward transition for you, I got an email asking about some inspiration for a first day of cool school get-up and the above is what I came up with. Keep in mind...this is inspiration.

Another Summer Collage For You

...and another self-explanatory title! Seriously, I saw those winged sandals and just had to make an outfit post surrounding them. Not to mention they're metallic! Just in case, you know, nobody noticed the fact that you have wings on your feet. It's casual. 

shirt - T by Alexander Wang

shorts - Ksubi

bra - The lake and stars

clutch - chloe

sandals - Ancient Greek Sandals

Red, White, and Blue all over

Getting in the 4th o' July spirit, if ya know what I mean. Classico white button down and ripped jean shorts. Not-so-classic winged sunglasses and polka-dot Supergas. Straw hat to top it all off. Big Brother Uncle Sam would approve. 

Check out my page HERE to see where to buy these bad boys.

Hint, Hint...

Guess, guess, guess...ready GO! Soo...what do ya think the theme of today's post is going to be? No, it is not Isabel Marant, I'll tell you that up front, she just provides a good example of it here. Sorry for the ambiguity, if, ya know, you're not into that sort of thing...

Too Cool for School

Jacket & Skirt - Topshop
Shirt - Alexander Wang
Sandals - ASOS
Collar Necklace - Dannijo

Sooo did you miss me yesterday? I missed you. I also wanted to take this moment to let all of you know that I read every comment and that I really am more appreciative of your feedback and time than you could imagine. On that note, let's transition over to what I wish I was wearing right this second. Actually, that's a lie considering I'd really rather be naked right now because of this heat wave. It's the kind of heat that's really heavy and oppressive, that's the closest I can come to describing it at least! So my plan for today is to hide out in the air conditioning. Ah, summertime...

Rad Dad

Father's Day seems to always get the short end of the stick. Maybe it's because it's shortly after mothers day...but not really, or maybe it's because it comes right at the end of the school year where there is just a plethora of other things going on. Anyways, point is, I think Dads deserve more, more than just a hug, because Dads are rad. Here are a few things that I would consider getting my Dad for Father's Day...

A cool fedora? My Dad is a hat kind of guy which is why I put this on there, besides, camo print is in for fall. If that doesn't fit your fancy, there's always some nice pink striped socks or perhaps some geometric cufflinks? Lastly, concert tickets, my dad loves music, which is probably where I get my love of music from, and he even has his own band. On top of that, even though I may be young, I've come to realize that it's the experiences you have with people that mean the most. If you have any other genius Rad Dad's Day gift ideas...or any other thoughts, feelings, songs...drop a comment as I love hearing from you all! 

By the way...MY LAST DAY OF SCHOOL WAS YESTERDAY! Yes, that deserves all caps. Summer vacation is finally here! And with that, have a nice evening/night/whatever it is in your corner of the world!

Espadrilleths

There seems to be an espadrille craze going around right now. A craze I tell you. However, just like sneaker wedges and harem pants, this is also a craze I can totally get behind. Not only because they are just fantabuloso cool, but because they are so practical. I don't wear heels being only in high school and all, so any type of flat-shoe shenanigans gets me excited, some may say too excited. Just kidding. Anyways, here are my favorite espadrilles I have rounded up for you all. I have my eyeballs on one of the soludos pairs,just, FYI... 

1.Soludos

2. MIA via Urban Outfitters

3. Missoni

4. Marc by Marc Jacobs

5. Splendid

6. Soludos

There you have it, some espadrilleths for you. I've clearly been reading way too much Shakespeare for school. Luckily, I'M DONE ON TUESDAY. Summer vacation hallelujah. I rarely use caps but this particular instance just called for it. Anyways, for you, summer means more regular blog posts, and perhaps some pineapple espadrilles as seen above? You have the freedom to choose, or not. Because, when you think about it for a while, espadrilles(ths) really do look like elf shoes. How fitting. 

p.s.- OH, and what do you think of the first pair...should I get 'em? But I'd love to hear from you anyways!!! Have a good rest of your evening, people.
