Favorite Music of the Moment: Pocketful of Poetry

Hey guys!
So I just had to do a quick post about one of my favorite artists, Mindy Gledhill. I have been a fan of hers for awhile, and she just came out with a new album called Pocketfull of Poetry. I am in love. I cannot explain how much of a musical genius this woman is! There isn’t a song on the album that I don’t like. Her music is so pure and lovely, and just great all around! Words really can’t do it justice.
I’ll leave a link to the actual song Pocketful of Poetry, but you guys should listen to the whole album! Trust me, if you like really sweet songs with great meaning, you will love this album!
I will be posting again soon, thanks for reading, and have a great day! (:

Fall Fashion!

Hey guys! So I have already told you all, fall is one of my favorite seasons! I had a mini pumpkin cupcake at my mom’s bakery today, and it made me so happy and it was pretty much the greatest thing all day. Fall has definitely arrived in my neck of the woods! All the trees are turning yellow and orange, and they’re so gorgeous (:
Anyway, today I am going to share what I have been wearing for the fall season! I have really been loving dark colors like deep red, maroon, and forest green. I just got maroon tights that I have a slight obsession with…
So here they are!
 

  • Military Jacket from Nordstrom
  • Purple sweater from Forever 21
  • Jeans from American Eagle      
  • All Star Converses                         
I really love this military jacket; it isn’t too thick but it still provides a lot of warmth and is really cute at the same time! It is also just thin enough that I can layer it with other sweaters.      
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Here is another way I wore it!
 
  • Gray sweater: Nordstrom
  • Jeans: American Eagle    
  • Ugg boots: Nordstrom      

 I also wanted to include this picture because I never do anything with my hair; I usually let it dry naturally but I was apparently feeling inspired that day (: So nice hair it was! And the fact that it takes 45 minutes to curl my hair is very off putting…

 
 
 
 
Some more Comfy/Casual looks…

  • Scarf: I actually crocheted it myself! Crocheting is a secret obsession of mine…
  • Sweater: Nordstrom                                                             
  • Leggings: Nordstrom                                                            
  • Uggs: Nordstrom                                                                    
I know, I got all of these items at Nordstrom, but I bought a bunch of fall clothes there about a month ago because I had a Nordstrom Note, and I went a little crazy…I really love their clothes…
  • Sweater: Nordstrom (this is seriously on of the comfiest sweaters ever)
  • Shirt: Nordstrom
An outfit like this is so great for days where you want to look cute but also be comfy. 
Also, this picture features my jeep (affectionately called El Jepe, I really don’t know why) in the background (:
One of my current obsessions…SKATER SKIRTS! 
I seriously love them.
 

  • Crop sweater: Nordstrom       
  • Gray skater skirt: Nordstrom   
  • Maroon tights: Pacsun            
  • Steve Maddon Boots: Macy’s
I am in love right now with skater skirts! I really love this outfit in general; it’s super comfy and the skirt is so fun to wear.
Here is this outfit with black tights, no socks and a different necklace. Also with my hair curled! 
I wore this to a job shadow at Fox Studios! I had a blast and did it with one of my best friends who also took all of these pictures for me (: I will give a link to her blog at the end of the post!
  • Sweater: Nordstrom  
  • Skirt: Nordstrom          
  • Neckalce: Forever 21
I really love this outfit as well! This sweater is incredibly soft. And the back is amazing! I’m enamored by it.
Isn’t it super cool?! It was love at first sight.
Another way I wore this sweater! And also another skater skirt!! This one is from H&M.
  • Jean jacket: Macy’s
  • Dress: Forever 21
  • Necklace: Forever 21
When I first saw this dress, I instantly fell in love. It is so flowy and really comfortable to wear. I just thought it had a really cool pattern; inside the crosses there is a floral pattern that I adore. It also has a sweetheart neckline trimmed with fake leather! I thought it was just really cool overall.
Well that is all of the outfits I have put together so far! I am so excited for the fall and winter because it means comfy sweater weather and big chunky scarves (: I am definitely one happy bee!
Also, a great big thanks to one of my bestest friends, Joycie, for taking all of these pictures! You can check out her blog here.
What was your favorite outfit? And what is your favorite thing to wear during fall?
 
Thanks for reading, have a great rest of your day! (:

Busy, Busy Bee

Ahhhh, hello everyone. I know I haven’t posted in a million trillion years, and I’m very sorry. School has kept me extremely busy, as it is my senior year. (Finally, my last year of high school!) This month has really flown by!  My mom’s bakery has also kept me preoccupied, and it was just her birthday so my dad and I had to scramble to get something together for her. I feel like I have been swept up in a tornado and am now getting my bearings back.
I do, however, have a lot of posts planned! I want to do a fall series, as it is one of my favorite times of the year (: It is currently raining, and I’m in my room in super comfy clothes and I am quite happy. Needless to say, I’m so excited for Fall and have a lot of my favorite things to share about this season, like fashion and cute little decorations.
Anyway, I just wanted to do a quick little update post and let you guys know that I am still alive! I’m really going to try and post at least twice a week so we will see how that goes!
What are your favorite things about fall?
Bye for now! Have a great day (:

DIY: T-Shirt Cutting

Hey guys!
So a few weeks ago I cut an over-sized T-shirt to make it a cute tank top! I actually made the T-shirt myself (well I put the quote on it, I didn’t actually sew it together or anything) but wanted it to be a tank top. So I decided to cut it! I have a tank top that’s a very similar shape and I love it because it’s really versatile; I definitely wanted this T-shirt to look the same!
T-shirt before I cut it

I made the stencil using my Cricut machine. As you can see, the paint bled through the lines, but I actually like how it did that! The awkward little dot was supposed to be a star. I know, it really doesn’t look anything like one, but oh well.
   
I used these dye’s to make the quotes.
For the dye, I first mixed the blue and green (using more blue) and lightened the resulting color with white. I painted it on the shirt, let it dry over night, and bada bing it was done.
For the cutting, I first cut off the sleeves. But I turned it inside out first so I could see the seems better, cutting on the inside of the seems so they were no longer part of the shirt. It provided a helpful guideline so it was even on both sides.
Next, I turned it outside in again, and cut off about four inches or so from the bottom.
Tip: about halfway through cutting the bottom, I folded the already-cut part over the other side, so the line was straight and even all the way across.
Then I cut the thick collar part off so the tank top would be more relaxed looking.
 As you can see, I did the same thing here as I did with the bottom; about halfway through I folded the cut side over the other one, so the curve was the same all the way across.
After that, I was done!
I’m really happy with how it turned out!
And, of course, I had to throw in some pictures of Angel and Perry “helping.”
Haha, I caught her mid-blink I think

Hope you guys like how the tank top turned out! It wasn’t too difficult, but I thought it would be nice just to give you guys some of the little tips that I used to ensure even cuts.
Have you ever cut T-shirts to make tank tops? How did they turn out?
Have a great day! (:
