Faux Fawn


I really like this new dress from Clothing Loves! I feel like it fits the mood of fall quite well. Usually I don't wear things with long sleeves (I'm a little too picky) but it's getting cold enough here that I want to! 

Also, here's the song that inspired this outfit. It's called "Let's fall asleep together" by Teen Daze.





My favouite part are the velvet ribbons that tie the detachable collar on! I'm glad it's detachable too, because that gives the dress more wear-ability.



Vintage Bort Carelton boots from my mom!



So many mushroomies



A whole filed!

Ziba Collection //


Recently I received an order c/o the Ziba Collection!! I'm really excited because the order even came with a cute little metal bookmark!



The necklace matches the bracelet above! I really like the tiger's eye pendants, they look so delicate and pretty. Also, any necklace with several strands/ chains is awesome in my book!




Even though this is silver, I think this pendant from My Jewelry Box would go well with both of the items above, don't you think?!

Catatina magazine interview // Youtube announcement!


Hey everyone! So I just wanted to let you all know, shortly, I'll likely be adding my first vlog to Youtube! Still working some kinds with software, but just wanted to give you guys a heads up!

  Check out my Youtube channel here, and please subscribe so you don't miss my first video!!

Currently taking requests as to what to do for my first video! Is there anything you guys were wondering about?
Questions about the fashion blogging world?
Do you want a review of a certain brand?
Questions about any items?
Outfit of the day videos?

Also, I never shared this video perviously, but it's an interview video I was asked to create when Catarina Magazine did an article with me! We were asked to video one of our favourite places, and to answer some interview questions, so that's what's taking place in this video! Most of my videos will probably be shot out-and-about style, as I don't much care for interior videos. Video shot by Josh & edited by me!



Anyway, let me know what you guys are wanting to see!!

Acid wash the skin from your bones // Thank you for 12,000+ fans on LookBook.nu!!


Wore this recently when some of Josh's friends came up to visit Oregon from San Diego! 
(Top is from Udobuy, and skirt is from Sammy Dress)

Also, before I forget, I wanted to thank everyone who follows me on LookBook.nu!! I just passed 12,000+ followers there!! I can't even accurately describe how grateful I am to all of you, but I am very much so and want you all to know!! I hope you'll all continue to follow me in the future, as I'll do my best to make interesting posts for you!!



Necklace by Angel Court.







I think most of them were making ridiculous faces in every single shot. I thought this one was nice though :P



There was definitely an array of Troy pretending to fart pictures. This pretty much sums it up.



Ground Kontrol is an awesome bar!



St. John's bridge!



We all took a walk in the woods. Isn't Oregon pretty?!




Aaand then the boys found a random fire house and decided it was jump rope time.



But not before attacking each other with it first, haha.



I know people from other parts of the world/ country that actually think people in Oregon live in trees and travel around in covered wagons. Well, this one's for them. :P



Don't fall, Ryan!!


Mushrooms are fucking weird.

Animal Control


I got this skirt from Chicnova just a few days ago and I really love it! It's my second velvet skirt, and I wish I had more! (Top & necklace are from Romwe , and shoes are from Oasap!!)

Also, here's the song that inspired this look! It's "I will posses your heart" by Death Cab for Cutie. Dunno how I feel about the band in general, but this song is super pretty!

Serious Serum Product Review + Giveaway #26!


First off, before I get to the giveaway, I'd like to start off with this product review! (If you'd like to skip this part, just scroll down past the two images for all the giveaway info!) 

The product is called "Serious Serum," and as it states on the package, it's meant to eliminate ingrown hairs from happening. It also professes to be useful for the following: Facial exfolliant, for use on men and women for post shaving irritation, and to treat keratosis pilaris. 

In all honesty, I found the product actually works BETTER than the packaging states. Usually I think cremes & serums like this are a big fat pile of bullshit, but this was not. (For me, anyway--we all have different skin!) It only claimed to prevent ingrown hairs from coming in, but it's actually healing a few ingrown hairs I already had, which was a pleasant surprise because I wasn't expecting it to do that! (And coming from someone like me with really pale skin, who scars something awful, it's nice to have something that actually WORKS and nicely heals the ingrown hairs rather than letting them scar!)

I'm a bit unhealthy and all my red marks tend to heal very slowly, so not surprisingly, it actually worked much better on my boyfriend than on me! He had some ingrown hairs on his beard that he's had for months, and they're totally clearing up when nothing previously was working for him.



It comes in a handy little squit bottle that's about 3-4 inches long, and there's quite a bit of product in the tube, so even with both me and my boyfriend using it everyday for the past week or two, we haven't even made a dent in the amount that's left. (I think it'd be a really cute stocking stuffer this Holiday season too, considering its size!!)

Overall, I would give this product a 5/5! 
Which is why I'm having a giveaway with this!

Favourite picks from Buy Trends!


Today I want to share with you some cute finds from a new website, Buy Trends! (Check them out here on Facebook!) I think my favourite is the one on the far right, although they're all suited for fall and winter! What do you think? Usually I never wear pants ever, even in winter, so these are all so cute! (All my friends think I am crazy!)

Now is a good time to be buying clothing for winter, and I know I'm sure stocking up! (They have some really cute sweaters, here!!) What do you generally wear in winter? Are you immune to the cold for the most part, or do you wear a million layers?

Foxy Deery


This poncho sweater from Chicwish is super comfy for late fall! It still hasn't snowed here yet, so stuff like this is great for right now! Cute floofy skirt is from Tidestore, and faux fox tail is from Romwe!!



I reeeeally like deers/elk, so I kinda died a little when I found this bracelet from Sira & Mara! It has a really interesting shape to it. Ring is from Beginning Boutique.
