Lately I've been embracing my crazy curly hair. Not only do I feel it looks rad, but its so easy to do! I literally hop out of the shower, keep a towel over my hair turban style while I get ready for the day (eat, makeup, get dressed, etc.), then tousle my hair with my fingers to make it bigger. No room for uniformity in these curls! I try to avoid brushes and combs when going with this look, as they tend to turn my curls into a big floof, and I'm not tryin' to look all fluffy. Ya feel me?

It only feels natural to wear colors or bold prints when my hair is all in your face like this. I absolutely love this astrology chart tie dye number from urban. I stuck the daisies in my laces as an afterthought, inspired by Marc Jacobs himself. I keep finding random uses for these flowers, and I think its fun to add an unexpected element to an outfit. Any thoughts?

About A Girl

 Dress- Thrifted

Earring- Papaya

Shoes- Steve Maddens from Ebay

Lipstick- MAC Red

I’m insanely in love with these shoes. The pictures don’t do them much justice, but they’re covered in silver glitter. I snagged them off ebay a couple months ago but haven’t had much chance to wear them until recently. The velour dress was thrifted, and originally a maxi but I decided to cut it into and ultra mini. It got quite a bit of wear during the holiday season. As soon as I went outside to take these pictures I instantly regretted my outfit of choice as it was frikkin cold! I’ve always lived in Washington, but the winters still seem far too cold for me. I’ve been playing around with my clothes trying to find outfits that are both warm and chic. (This was obviously not one of them.) I have to say I do miss shorts season! & if the title of this post had you curious, the overcast day brought to mind Nirvana.

2013 Goals & Resolutions.

I was quite the chameleon in 2012, it was truly a year of changes. Many ups & downs. New job(s), started school, began this blog, moved, lost a few people, met many people, learned whats really important to me, & have started creating the reality I want for myself. 2013 is going to be a good one, I can feel it. Wishing everyone the best this year.

  

I tend to things done better when they are written down, so I made a list outlining my goals for 2013. On the blog front you can expect to see more frequent posts this year. More outfit posts, in particular. I have begun outlining blog ideas, and will be more organized about the whole process. I also have an etsy shop in the making. I plan to launch it sometime this week, before winter quarter starts (Jan 7th). The inventory is going to be vintage & up-cycled clothing, & I've had a thing for studs lately so you can expect to see a bunch of that.

Here's to the New Year, full of possibilities and opportunity for all.
