Advance to Autumn

I'm so sorry guys! I feel like I am always apologizing here! I have been so busy lately with school starting and absolutely everything that I have not posted in FOREVER! But I'm back, I swear(:

Also, always check my Tumblr or Twitter, I update those two more frequently and on the go.

But back to fashion (that beautiful word that holds so much!). It's fall! Wahoo! My absolute favorite season for a number of reasons (one, being that my birthday is in October!!). But oh the sweaters and boots and colors and creativity that comes with the fall! It's amazing. That is why, dear readers, we are advancing to autumn. Hence the title..

So of course there are your reoccurring, never dying boots and sweaters. But my favorite look this fall is a little closer to skater side. And yes, I am one of those girls who LOVES hipster and grunge styles (very different, but hey, I'm complex). Don't judge me.

Layering is the first and foremost rule to grunge style so to start us off right for the season, oversized sweaters.

Oversized sweaters is one trend that I absolutely love and try to embrace each year. They are so comfortable with a pair of skinnies (cords or denim) and boots (leather or fUggs). Oversized sweaters are so easy to pull off. And accessories to go with it never end. Layer necklaces, pull up your hair, and don some flashy earrings for a little more sophisticated look. Or just throw on a hat over your bed head and call it a day.

A Little Thing Called Envy

I have been putting together a list of all the things I want very badly at the moment. But until I make enough babysitting and working money, all I can do is gaze at them, drooling. Just kidding, but seriously. Some of them are dumb little things I just think would make my life a whole lot better, and some others are great "fashion investments and staples" that I'll have for a while... I hope.

1. Clinique Chubby Stick: $16.00

2. Dolce&Gabbana Luminous Cheek Tint (in Rosebud): $44.00

3. Maybelline Baby Lips: $2.97

4. Nixon watch: from $100.00 to $300.00

(these are my three favorite watches)

5. Red Canvas "Original" TOMS: $44.00

6. Ray Bans Clubmasters (in tortoise shell): $144.95 (at Sunglass Hut)

7. Nixon Clock Pendant: $100.00

Culture Shock

The best dreams for me are when I do something drastic or I say something completely honest and just a little bit bitchy. But the best part of it all is when everything I say, comes out perfectly phrased, honest but not too mean, and reminds me of a movie.

I think everybody in the whole world will agree that the best moments, are the ones that look like they came straight out of a movie.

As much as we try to put together our thoughts and confront the evils in our lives, its always a little less like a movie and doesn't go exactly as planned.

We try our hardest to stage moments and put together scenes... we should just realize that movies are calculated and unrealistic (like really... Jake Ryan in real life would not have the guts to wait outside a church just waiting for you, Samantha Baker, to come out behind the bride in your glitzy pink bridesmaids dress... and who ever told Jake which church!? huh!?)....

So basically I'm being the Grinch who pops your unrealistic but fantastical bubble of unreality in your head and screaming, "GET OVER IT!"

But then again, there's no harm done in dreaming a little...

Birthday cake and hangover daze both from Sixteen Candles.

Most realistic prom scene ever from Napoleon Dynamite. Classic 'zombie' dancing and awkward eye contact... never gets old.

And the most UNrealistic prom scene from High School Musical 3... I feel like our generation has failed itself... Telling your grandchildren to watch HSM to see what the 2000s was like is almost as bad as your eyes bleeding...

The perfect photo of Cher from Clueless. I hated this movie the first time I saw it.. now I love it. Expecially the clothes... expecially Muffy.

Amazingly unrealistic... but possibly probable... disaster looks from Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and MTV's tv show Awkward.

The suicide explosion with Winnona Ryder and Christian Slater, the Heathers and Veronica, and the Heathers title all from (wouldn't you know it) Heathers.

The costume Homecoming in Never Been Kissed (worst movie on the planet... by the way).

And of course the famous Say Anything scene when John Cusack comes up to his forbidden love's window (re-created by the sexy as hell Penn Badgley in Easy A).

So... to be cheesy and quote John Lennon, "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope that someday you will join us, and the world will live as one."

Dream on.
