The WWW

If you're wondering what WWW could possibly stand for, I'll gladly clarify that it implies wicked witch of the west. Again, if you're wondering what our my favorite Wizard of Oz character could possibly have to do with art, fashion, music, or any of the other random topics I've covered in the past, then look no further. These Tabitha Simmons ankle boots will satisfy your not so needy needs. It's times like these, by the way, that make me think I would do really well at writing ridiculous cheesy commercials for things like shake-weights and plastic bags. Anyways, let me show you what I'm talking about...

If that doesn't evoke evil and darkness I don't know what does. Three buckles, dangerously pointy toe, zipper down the front, I mean, seriously. To me at least, things in fashion always seem to resemble something else, like drawing inspiration doesn't really mean that a person is creating something new, it just means that said person is taking that inspiration and putting it into a new form. That idea might make the whole industry seem a little doomed, if it's all just a recycling of ideas, how much longer can it actually continue (don't get scared I'm talking super long-term here) without repeating itself? In a sense, I guess it already does, what with people throwing back to the 90's, 80's, 70's...Anyways, tell me what you think, I'd love to hear your opinions!

Tweet at me

I caved. Twitter was always the one thing I never liked or understood. I guess it was my non-understanding of the idea behind it that led to my fiery hatred of twitter...yet I now have one anyways. I guess I really am a blogger now, there ain't no going back. Anyways, what I'm essentially saying, is that you should follow me because ya know, I am the wittiest of the witty and you won't be disappointed when another 140 character blurb brightens up your day. So, tweet at me, brah. 

And it continues...

Hey Dakota, ya look good. #jussayin Seriously though, a plethora of ways to rock sneaker wedges, my sick obsession. Well it's neither sick nor an obsession, because in the grand scheme of life it isn't worth it to spend your time thinking about all the things you don't have. At least that's how I feel. I'm not a perfect person though by any means! Anyway, there's an inspiration/how to rock it/philosophy lesson of a post concluded. Love you guys!

Polished

These are my three favorite colors for my nails right now. They're not anything fancy like Chanel or Essie, just a no-name brand does the trick in summery yellow, lavender, and robins-egg blue.

Blog Crush

Discovering a blog that makes you jump up and down at your desk and say "Boomshakalakalaka this is the one for me, cowboy!" doesn't happen very often. Oh, that's never happened to you? Touche. cough liar cough. AnYwAy,  a few weeks ago I came across this blog, Mode D'Amour. Her style, her NOSEPIERCING (my mom is letting me get one this summer!), the clean layout...sigh. 'Tis all fantastic. If you already read it, you're cooler than I am, if you don't you're still cooler than I am go read!

all photos are from Mode D'Amour of course.

Summer Beauty, Beauty in the Summertime

When I actually do wear makeup during the summer, this is all it takes. Oh, and bobby pins because humidity is my greatest enemy. 

Studly

This is a story of a girl who loved studs. And I conclude by saying, I love studs. Thank you very much.

Take a guess...

Hey people! Take a guess at where I am right now! It's like playing "Where's Waldo", but not...

The Frenzy

Today, I joined the frenzy. The tie-dye denim frenzy if you want to get specific with me, if you want to remain ambiguous you can just leave now. Anyways, I hopped on the bandwagon as you can see, which was definitely a good idea. Sometimes I'm a little apprehensive about trying stuff out that everyone else has already gotten to, (not to sound like a poop) but I guess it's all about how you make it your own that justifies it. Maybe "justifies" is the wrong word, no one should have to justify what they wear, right? Well, come to think of it, there are always a few exceptions but I'm not getting into that business right now!  

Picture credits go to my INSTAGRAM which you should be following...wink wink.

Pumped Up Kicks: A Story

Just like most people, I have fallen subject to the sneaker wedge craze. Right when the whole thing started with those glorious Isabel Marant sneakers, I started saving up determined that they would someday be mine. However, by the time I had gathered up enough bucks and had some extra left over, they were sold out. Everywhere. Right after they went on sale they were gone as fast as lightning. If you don't know which sneakers I'm talking about, here's a little collage I made to show you...

Of course, they would have been quite the investment for me, but I calculated everything out and even created over 30 outfits I could wear them with just from things I have in my closet. That is dedication people. However, this clearly didn't work out considering it is impossible to get my hands on them now, so I started on a hunt for some alternatives. Unfortunately though, I didn't have much luck. All of the knock-offs are either weird colors, or the wedge is too high, or they just look generally cheap. Sigh. And yet, I won't give up, so here are the alternatives that I found while browsing, none of which are really that good, except for those ASOS ones...hmmmmm.

Going clockwise from top right: Nike via Urban Outfitters, ASOS, Topshop. I might just have to go for the black ASOS ones. But please, if any of you guys know of anywhere I could possibly get the real deal, either send me an email or drop me a comment! Oh, and because I know the whole sneaker-wedge shenanigans evoke some very mixed feelings with people...please, discuss and tell me what you think. Ready...GO!

GOING ALL THE WAY (TO FACEBOOK)

Likey likey! We're taking it all the way to Facebook! Yes, Facebook. If you "like" that crap up, you will be instantly updated when I post, as it will show up in your newsfeed. Not to mention you become part of the clan...officially. And hey, you may even be able to join discussions about whatever I throw out at you. See? It's fun for everyone. So go and like to your hearts content.

p.s.- Don't have a Facebook? Don't worry. You can still hop on over to the right sidebar and follow me on all sorts of social media levels.
