Happy, Happy Birthday

Ok so this was supposed to go up a few days ago but I guess it has been sitting in my drafts (oops) I celebrated by watching Pretty in Pink and Electrick Children which I loved every moment of both.  I also got the September issue of Vogue, some eyeliner that I am not very happy with and some eye shadow that works just alright.  Unfortunitly I don't have any sources on the pictures *sigh* tumblr issues/trying to figure out my new computer.  And last one was a picture of me because no one around me can take a decent picture of another human and I looked like a very glamorus hobo with the jacket that I have.

SO...Some how I have survive the dreaded back to school and I have actually  been pretty proud of my outfits (sorry I don't have pictures).  My hair has been doing some pretty interesting things and thought to document it before it goes back to being pin straight.  Also I really want to dye my hair a red variant of magenta (sort of like Krystle's amazing hair here).  Tomorrow is also the blogs first birthday and I am want to post something special but I don't quite know yet....hmmm

OK down to the real reason I am posting

Books

    I really love them so once a month I want to post about a book that has changed the way I dress and how I interact with fashion. So this book caught my eye a few years ago and from that point it has made me more aware of our impact of buying what they refer to as "Glad rags".  What they mean bye glad rags is clothing from any outlet store that we buy for the sake of buying, which is unfortunately the sort of society that we live in.  The intro is written by Dame Vivienne Westwood (yes you heard me correctly) and then goes into the author's year of not buying clothing and how she actually rediscovered herself and actually got more opportunities to interview people from it (she is a Swedish fashion journalist).  It also has a few pages of studies about the impact of the fashion industry and consumerism that are pretty cool.  My favorite part of the book is the fact that they have DIY's done by people who really understand their personal fashion and are not afraid to show it off.  Over all it has made me a more self aware consumer and know really strive to by unique pieces or fill in where my wardrobe might be missing (like brown leggings right now...then I could show off this really cool skirt I have...)

Any way I hope you have enjoyed this book review//suggestion!!

summer has come and passed

 

Today's blog post has been brought to you by stress.  So I have been mostly  listening to bikini kill, lana del ray, and Lorde  (in my opinion the holy trinity of end of summer/teenage melodrama/back to school denial).   

 Been doing pretty typical end of the year things like writing papers and generally ignoring the outside world for the sake of AP Comp...I hope this class is worth it. Anyway I went to the fair recently and took some pictures, along with some stupid selfies and a very creepy picture of my brother.

                                        This will get you though the end of the summer, I promise

Current mood...board

                                       

  

1. Photo of my current shrine on my book shelf// 2. Thom Browne ss 2014 collection// 3. Beauty and the beast gif //4. photo of the flowers outside my house// 5.  Flower crown

    I am just ignoring the fact that school starts so soon by any means possible, including cleaning (it's gotten that bad).  I am in a weird mood, this summer hasn't been extremely productive and I know I am supposed to be doing teenagery things etc. etc. but it just seems to be going by quickly (my entire teenage existence) and I don't know if other people feel the same way that I do or it's just me.  That is probably one of the main reasons I got back to this blog is to catalogue everything I feel day by day and month by month because my memory sucks to say the least.  

    Any way I made a shrine late last night while also completely drooling at Thom Browne's spring womens collection for 2014 and thinking about flowers and the upcoming Autumn.  In New England the Fall is all about endings (summer) and beginnings (school) (even more so about beginnings and endings than spring, spring is just wet and filled with slush from the winter) so I think it is appropriate to wear floral prints and darker colors together. 

stress, green lips, flea markets, and the impending doom of school

So this is know my blog...Kyra has decided to make her own so that she can post when ever she wants/ have more say when things are posted. (that is probably why it took a year to post stuff).  Anyway the dress that I was originally going to wear got foundation on it while I was doing my makeup and this was a last minute outfit choice but you know what, it works.  
                              
So back to more fashion-y type things this is what I am thinking of wearing the first day of school, we have a weird policy that you can't wear sleeveless tops unless three fingers can fit on the strap/ no head scarves or anything you can put on your head/ and no leggings...but mostly everyone ignores this and I try to bend the rules as much as I can.
                                  
It was unfortunately a bit a bit sunny today but the pictures came out fine, I just kind of stressed for school and such but the green lipstick helps and so does this top that I got for two dollars from a town wide flea market.        
                                    
Currently wearing: Thrifted top, vintage dress, Banana Republic belt, and naturalizer shoes

Now you see me know you don't

Oh.....awkward this is just....wow okay so it has almost been a year exactly since we last posted and a lot has changed style wise (sort of we just got better haircuts and I got a good camera and some better cloths).  You probably want to know how we look know....so here I will indulge you 

(me we had a pretty amazing alienish photo shoot and I look like and alien ice queen, I love it)  

(Kyra looks amazing during a shoot we did at a local park with some other of our very fashionable friends)

More alien babes aka Tilda Swinton  in the May 2013 issue of W magazine (all hail the Queen)

ST. Vincent my latest music obsession and very fashionable person (just thought I would share)

Last but not least a TRUE alien babe Zoe Saldana.  Not only was she in Avatar but she was also in Star Trek and Guardians of the Galaxy where she looks like Elphaba's wicked awesome older sister.
