Look Book: a-HAUL lot of Forever21

I have this problem. Well it's not so much a problem as a habit. I spend almost all my free time on my computer, whether it's binge watching tv shows, stalking people on Facebook, stalking people on Instagram or snapchatting my friends (at least one of them is social). But the worst thing I do on the internet is browsing online stores for clothing I never end up buying. 

But a couple of weeks ago my luck changed. As a present I got a gift card to Forever21! I haven't bought anything from there for a while because a lot of there clothing has become more punk (I don't know how else to describe it) and that isn't exactly my style. The great thing about Forever21 is that most of the clothing is very cheap. So I finally used the gift card and bought 3 sweaters, 2 necklaces, a pair of shoes, 2 sets of rings, and a headband. 


Here are some pictures I took of me wearing what I got. I absolutely love every single item I got.



This "amazing Spider-Man" sweater is the softest sweater ever! It is really fuzzy on the inside and super comfortable. Perfect for whenever I just want to through something on or just don't want to put so much effort into my outfit but still look cute.



This grey cropped sweater is so great! It is the item I have worn the most so far. If I wear it with high waisted jeans it sometimes still shows my stomach, which isn't what I always want, so it works better with skirts or over a dress.



This kinda Aztec print sweater is also great for when I'm not feeling so creative and is still so cute. I really love the pattern and colors on it.



This is the same necklace that Zoella (a YouTuber/blogger who I admire a lot) has. I mentioned her in my " TOPSHOP" post. When I saw it online I wasn't sure if it was the exact one but then when it came in the mail and I got a closer look at it I knew for sure it was the same! I love it, and not only because Zoella has it :)




And my other accessories:






(haha, get it? Spiderman!)

P.S. Yes, I did straighten my hair.

Life Update: My Bracelets

So I don't know if anyone has noticed in any of the pictures I have posted of myself in any of the other blogs, but I always wear a bunch of bracelets on my right hand. A lot of people come up to me sometimes and ask me about them. They want to know if I made any if them, where I got them, when I got them, and are just generally curious about them. That is why I realized that I bet some people who read my blog probably wonder the same things. So I decided that I am going explain them to you one by one. Don't worry there aren't to many. 



The first one is a piece of yellow wrapping ribbon that is wrapped around my wrist twice to secure it. It isn't very interesting to look at but it has a lot of meaning to me. I have gone to summer camp for the past 6 years and coming up on my 7th. On the last night of camp this year we did an activity with ribbon and at the end we each cut the ribbon and tied it around our wrists to remind us of the summer. We are all trying to keep the bracelet on till next summer.


The next is a bracelet that my mom made for me that I think is really cool.



The 3rd my mom also made. It is a piece of a shirt that she tie-dyed and then tied into a long string and wrapped around my wrist.



This one is a bracelet that I made myself out of brown string. I'm very proud of it :)



This one I made at camp. It is made out of beads and was really easy to make. 



The last one that my mom also made but it actually came from one of my sisters old shirts. It was the cuff of her sleeve. I love how it is double sided because since I wear it all the time, if one side doesn't match my outfit I can always switch it to the other side. My mom keeps on telling me that she thinks it looks gross but I don't see it. I think it looks really rugged and cool. I like it a lot. 




If anyone wants me to do a DIY blog showing how to make any of these just leave a comment below and I can definitely do that.

Life Update: Coffee

I was having some trouble deciding what I should post about today. At first I was thinking that I could style my sister but she gets home by the time it is already dark out (stupid daylight savings!). Then I thought that maybe you would enjoy it if I posted about my favorite clothing, but then I had a better idea...Write about COFFEE



I got the idea for this post because my mom just bought a new espresso machine and made coffee for me. I though that it was so pretty (I like photographing drinks) so i took a bunch of photographs of it, and it got me thinking. 

I only recently started liking Cofee. I used to hate its taste, but now if I had to choose between coffee or hot chocolate I would definitely choose coffee.


I always wondered how it is possible that my taste can change so suddenly. But, I guess I always wanted to like coffee. I would taste my mom's drink every once in a while but after every time I did, I regretted it until I tried it again, but then I regretted it again. 

I liked coffee ice cream. Maybe I just got used to the taste of that and then having coffee wasn't so bad after that. 

But maybe there is a completely different reason. Maybe people want to drink coffee because that is what adults do. Everywhere you go kids see adults drinking coffee. And all kids want to do is grow up faster and be considered an adult. They want to drink coffee to seem like they were all grown up. They believe that if you drink coffee, you were finally mature. 

Think about that...
Think about that some more....


It makes a lot of sense. 


Another thing that I love about coffee is how it looks. I really just think that coffee is so pretty. It photographs well and you can make pretty designs on it. But I don't know, maybe that is just my "wanting to be considered mature" talking. 



Do you like coffee?

Look Book: New Years Eve

Tuesday night was...NEW YEARS EVE!         
I don't usually do much to celebrate. Sometimes I hang out with friends, but that has really been it. To change things up, this year my family went to a friend's house, and we got all dressed up and made a fancy dinner with drinks and food. Apparently we also did this last year but I am pretty sure that I didn't go.
Anyways, since my whole family got really dressed up, I decided to take some pictures and show you what we wore.






 







My Outfit:
Dress - Forever21
Tights - Target
Shoes(brand) - Kenneth Cole Action
Necklace - Urban Outfitters



AT THE PARTY!!!


(I had lipstick on at the party but it came off towards the end, that is why I am not wearing any in the pictures above...other than this one)

(oooooo, pretty drink!!)



What did you do to celebrate the New Years?
