Body Chain // Lulus.com

Today I am excited to share this look with you! Unfortunately it feels like it's been raining for like 40 days and 40 nights here or something, so I haven't really gotten a chance to take any photos! Sooo instead, you get poopy lighting, and an indoor look! Oh well. Anyway, my dress is from Lulus.com, and my coat is from Romwe!!

My facourite part of this outfit though, is the body chain! It's the first and only body chain I own. I used to think they were a bit silly, but recently I can say that in all honesty, I've begun to like them! This one is from Shop Lately, but specifically from one of the brands they sell, Lily Wang. I ordered a few things from her shop, and I'm really liking the quality.

Pretty gold little cross!!

Love Stylize!!

I found a really cool website earlier today, so I thought I would share it with you all! It's Love Stylize! What really caught my eye is that nothing on the website is more than $25, which is pretty sweet. (I don't really like spending very much on accessories. Maybe I'm cheap, but I'd rather have a lot of things to accessorize with rather than one super expensive thing!) What about you? Would you rather have lots of cheaper things, or one really expensive item?

Thought this was super intricate!

I think I have wayyy too many things with crosses on them, but oh well. I still love this!

Have totally always wanted a chain like this, but never got one. Maybe it's time, hmmm.

This little guy is fucking rad! It's a little octopus ring!!

Anyway, I hope you guys like this website as much as I do! You can find Love Stylize on Facebook, here!!

Grand Theft Auto // Baroque dress

This is what I wore recently to hang out with my friend Nori!! It was seriously so fucking cold this day...it was foggy too, so it felt even colder. I generally get overheated super easily, but nope, not then. I was freezing!!

Dress is from Romwe, and shoes are from Sammy Dress.

Isn't the dress so pretty up close?! It's so baroque!!

These shoes from Sammy Dress are quickly becoming my new favourite pair of shoes. My friends like to call them "ball stompers." :P

We were driving around looking for abandoned places to take photos at, using some directions we found online. We were looking for an abandoned warehouse to hang out, but it must have been torn down years before, because it wasn't there any longer. 

Oddly enough, the day after we took these photos, as found out that this EXACT same location was used in the Solestruck On the Road campaign. It was so uncanny! I bet they came there looking for the same cool building, but couldn't find it either, and just took pictures where we did, haha! Here's a video of the location, it's at about 3 minutes and 14 seconds in. (And the super weird thing is that they took the shots in Eugene, the smaller hometown that I grew up in, NOT Portland, the bigger metropolitan city!)

It was so foggy, it was super neat!

Cute little Nori! I am actually not a giant, these are just huge heels and Nori is bite-sized!! I'm actually only 5'5.

Her creepers and bone socks  were soo cute!!

Josh being a little shit eater.

I have no idea what these things were for (something for the rails I think) but they were colder than shit when we sat down on them to take photos, let's put it that way, haha!

Cold cold cold cold

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.

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!!

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.
