Marilyn

Lately I have been doing "decade dressing", as in each day I have been dressing evokative of a ceratin decade. For example, yesterday someone told me I was a 70's goddess, and last week my bff told me i looked like i belonged in the electric slide music video (90's). Well today I am Marilyn Monroe (my personal style icon) so late 50's. I am wearing tight high wasted Guess jeans, a white button up shirt, pearls, cute heels (irregular choice) and of course, Marilyn hair!
sorry the pictures are a little wonky, I was trying to use my webcam because my photographer (my mum) was still in bed.

Well I gotta go to school now (poopers)

kisses!

SHORTS! oh those fickle things...

Summer has arrived here in Colorado (well at least for today, we never can be sure with our weather) and all my fellow High School girls have broken out the shorts.  Now there are all types of shorts, short shorts, Bermuda shorts, high wasted shorts, mid thigh shorts, up the butt shorts, yeah you get it. Well what kind of shorts should you, and I, wear? To short or not to short? That is the question. I personally do not look very good in shorts (too much booty and not enough leg) but I hold a high respect for those of you who do have nice legs and can wear those summer pant replacers. Well, shall we take a look at some shorts, good and bad? I think yes.

I love these ones. Perfect for looking nice-ish in the Summer, but not dressed up. AND the perfect length

Ver cute. I love the stripes, but i would prefer them high wasted

while these are very cute, and lace is very "in" please do not wear them in public, as everything about you will be very public if you do

i like these. high wasted and baggy. 

too short. DO NOT wear these.

ahhhh, high wasted and with bows or lace! Perfect for a sweet look.

Unless you are a major hick, have stick thin legs, no butt, and are planning on doing some very naughty things, please do not wear these.

And Finally my favorito! the sailor short! I like these because they work with my curves ;) and they work on those of you with less booty than I have too! perf!

All of these pictures I found on Pinterest, if you likey them, follow me on pinterest! (click on the P button to the right —>)

Also, if you disagree with my taste in shorts, I support your opinions, but please do not be rude about it in the comment area, because this Blog is a place for neutrality. Like Belgium. or Switzerland. 

Have a fabulous day/night/week/life

Hasta Lasagna! Don't get it on ya!

Last Night

I am sore, tired, look like a car wreck, have a headache like athena is banging the inside of my head, and woke up at 1 pm. Yep, last night was prom. It was so very fun but of course my favorite part was the dresses (and the food, especially the chocolate fountain at after prom). There were some absolutely BEAUTIFUL dresses and some AWFUL dresses. I am posting some pictures of my friends and I, because we were all beautiful, but it would be a little awkward to post pictures of the awful dresses because I don't take pictures of people I don't know at school...I might get beat up.

bffs! the princesses and the goddess

(from left to right) sparkles, goddess, fairy, princesses, hawii

we had a whole array of dresses from high-low dresses to princess dresses

and as for the boys...well although it seems like boy styles never change, I would just suggest you try to stay away from the creepy old man type white suits... but otherwise they looked quite smashing!

A word of advice for future prom goers:

1. Going with friends, instead of a date, is a lot of fun. However, during slow dances you may feel a bit awkward and have to pull a Luna Lovegood (spinning in circles in the middle of the dance floor with your arms above your head by yourself)
2. After Prom is a lot more fun than prom prom 
3. chocolate fountains are delicious
4. lingerie tape is your new best friend 
5. hair spray is fabulous (but of course all of us girls know that)
6. "you are beautiful" and "i love your dress" will be said more times than you can count in those 3-5 hours, maybe try to come up with some more original adjectives like maybe appealing, comely,  or pulchritudinous 
7. although purple and lime green cheetah and zebra print dresses may be in style now, what do you think your children will think when they see your prom pictures in 20 years?
8. keep it classy, don't drink before prom (that is just dumb), don't drink after prom (that is dumb too), and have FUN

Asta lasagna don't get it on ya!

Cats.

*Disclaimer* this post has nothing to do with fashion or about what I did today. It is about cats. This week has been really stressfull and I find the only thing that calms me down is my cat. His name is mr. Darcy, but we call him fatty because he is obese.
This is Fatty. Say Hi to Fatty

Fatty feels shy

Also, while I was supposed to be writing my french paper I got distracted on youtube (that evil black hole of procrastination) and found this video. It is fabulous. and it is in french so it was sorta like I was doing french homework...sorta.

Not only do I just love this video because of the cat, but i also love the frenchness of it and the style. I think tomorrow I shall dress frenchy!

Wednesday. Happy hump day!!

So although I promised to post pictures every day this week, I failed. I have however dressed very cutely the past two days, so I didn't fail on that account.
So we are halfway through my awful awful week and I can see the distant horizon. And what might that horizon be? Prom of course! Yes my chums, prom is this Saturday!
Well anyway, I am posting my outfit for today because I liked it very much.

The shirt is from h&m (made out of organic cotton!)
I made the skirt, it has a BIG lace bow on the back because bows are fabulous
Purple ruffle socks from topshop
Brown heels from Dillard's

I think I spilled some orange juice on my shoe (dark spot)

ruffles!

back. BOW

not the best picture of me, just focus on the clothes
