October 2015

This look would be categorized as “health goth” if I wore some leggings and trainers instead of a circle skirt and boots. But I just really love that phrase…”Health Goth.” (And I’m technically not even dressed goth…oh well, it’s my blog so I’ll call this look what I want). 😏

Anyway, my main focus of this post is my new purchases–the NYX liquid suede in “Stone Fox” and the matte lipstick in “Whipped Caviar.” A few years ago, I experimented with NYX and wasn’t impressed. (I usually stick with brands found at Sephora). I only bought a few eyeliners to start out with and they didn’t stay for more than a couple hours and weren’t very pigmented. This time around, I’m extremely satisfied. The liquid suede is much more moisturizing than Lime Crime’s Velvetines–my former and pricier obsession. The matte lipstick also didn’t disappoint–it wasn’t drying like most matte lipsticks.

Oh hey, my blog is 6 years old today. HBD TUFG! Thanks for listening to my rambling for so many years, Interwebz.

Los Angeles has no style. Let’s just collectively accept this fact. There are no Free People-esque models walking around the city or Song of Style/The Blonde Salad looking baddies struttin’ their stuff down Melrose. It’s mostly just stylistically confused individuals which deem LA to not having a real fashion week (#LAFW isn’t a real thing, you guys). I consider myself to be a highly confused individual (in many respects) but in the sense that one day I’ll dress like the goth girl that freaked you out in high school and the next a suburban housewife that sips on a bottle of pinot grigio all day waiting for her children to get back from school. Anyway, the Veuve Clicquot Polo match was kind of sad. My sister and I got VIP but not “Rosé Garden” tickets so maybe all the classy people were there?? I saw some fashion bloggers and notable employees of companies such as Revolve Clothing toppling over because of the large amounts of alcohol they consumed. Not cute. And absolutely no one was watching the actual polo match. The sports commentator (is that what they’re called?) kept mentioning that the “real fun” was down at the field instead of by the food trucks…I beg to differ. The game was incredible boring since the opposing team had Nacho Figueras and absolutely obliterated the Veuve Clicquot team. I doubt I’d go to this event again unless I have Rosé Garden tickets but it was fun dressing up and wearing a fascinator. Because when else in life will I get to do that?

(ASOS, I’m seriously your biggest fan. Hire me after graduation? K thnx.)

In other news, here are some trends I like for fall:

ribbon scarves

dip dyed, destroyed denim (wooo alliteration) these are from Nasty Gal and bell sleeved tops

mustard colored suits (Zara)

metallic pleated skirts (except gold with a black vintage band tee tucked in, red lips and Adidas superstars)

In other news yet again, I just got an internship with a marketing firm here in LA. This is the direction I see myself headed towards after graduation so it’s exciting that I found a company I want to work for that also allows me to work outside of the office. I haven’t been interning as much as I was earlier in college because of my rigorous class schedule (like 23 hours a week, whaaat?!)

I’m going to start posting on the blog more often–I have so much to share in terms of fashion and I tend to just keep it to myself. But that’s going to change.

I’ve been so incredibly busy. This upcoming weekend will be the first weekend I’m actually staying my apartment. The past 4 weekends have been in: Vegas, New York, home and Santa Monica. Through all these trips I’ve realized that I need a fast paced career with a lot of traveling. That’s the goal.
