The Leopardess

Big and Bold is what this look is all about! As 2012 brings a new year, it also brings new styles, trends and fashion.  And this look features one of the hottest look this season. BOLD PATTERNS. 

Patterns vary from animal prints, floral’s, and geometrics. Such as with Michael Kors' Spring/Summer 2012 Runway Collection, this includes patterned pants, shirts, and dresses. Although, as much as I'd LOVE to rock leopard pants, I thought that a simple dress would be more practical.

A Fancy Michael Kors Frock.

I absolutely LOVE Michael Kors, but he the last time I checked, his $500+ garments aren't getting any cheaper, so I guess that I have to make due. I found this cute frock while aimlessly searching racks at Avenue. And BAM! Out of the corner of my eye I spy This Beauty, and I knew that she was coming home with me.

I had so much fun wearing this dress. Almost as if it brought out the "primitive" side of me. I was truly a leopard for a day. If only I could have escaped back to the wild to avoid making up my finals!

Taking a Color Chance

Effie Trinket and her blue homage

Hey Guys! Today is Wednesday, which means two things. I get out of school early (YAY!), and it is only 2 DAYS before the release of The Hunger Games. For all of you who don’t know, The Hunger Games is about 2 teens from district 12, Katniss and Peeta, who must fight for their lives in an arena with 22 other kids. Besides the obvious bloodshed in the book, I also excited for something else, the fashion of people in the in famous Capital. In the Capital, they do everything to the extreme, including changing skin color (Blue, pink, etc.), Wearing extremely avant-garde clothes and wearing huge wigs. I wouldn’t be caught dead with pink skin, or 10 inch heels, so I put my own spin of Capitol fashion.

In the Capitol they ARE NOT afraid of color, so this is the element that I brought into my outfit. Lots and Lots of color! Recently, I had some let over paint form an art project, so I let my imagination (boredom) take over and this is where it led me! These bright leggings sure do get attention! I paired it with my zippered dress and an equally bright lavender ruched shoulder shirt. And Last but not least my grey rain boots, that have seen many puddles today.

 Honestly, at first I was seriously scared of all of these colors. There was so many that I didn't know  if it could possibly work,and i definitely didn't want to be called tacky. But then I realized that nothing in fashion simply "works" by itself,and if I couldn't pull off these leggings, no one could. So, I took the risk and got a fun, and very bright outfit.

What should my next color risk be? Fell free to comment below.

Rain Rain GO Away!

 

 Hey Guys! Today is Tuesday March 20^th! It is OFFICALLY SPRING! Which is hard to believe when it rain was pouring down and what seemed like 100 mph winds were destroying the Earth today. SO, since it is the first day of spring, I thought that it was fit to celebrate!                                                                                              

 I thought that it was fit to celebrate! So, I went to the RedBox and got a copy of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Although, I don’t know is I got what I paid for... I got what looks like a bootleg copy of the movie. I will let you guys be the judges. Bootleg or Real? Answer in the comment section below.

I woke up this morning planning to wear a nice sundress, but then one look at the news and I knew that I had to scrap that plan. Today there was a 95% chance of rain! Since nature decided to pour down today, I went for something weather proof. Today I wore and favorite grey Cole Haan patent leather WATERPROOF rain boots, my blue skinny jeans and a baby blue farm girl top with a sheer gray tank top. I am so glad that I decided to check the new this morning or I probably would be soaked from head to toe.

My Fabulous Grey Boots!

~Sequins and Ruffles~

Hey Guys! I am going to apologize now. I know that I haven’t posted in a while, but I was incredibly busy this past week. Also, I was lacking a stable Internet connection.  If you don’t know I am from an incredibly small country town in the middle of nowhere, and this is where I spent spring break. Although it is peaceful with beautiful scenery… there is NO INTERNET! But with the help of a few friends and lots of pesky cousins, my hands were full. Surprisingly without Internet the week passed by rather fast, and last night I was devastated to remember that I had school today.

Usually each of my outfits have some kind of central theme, but since I was barley awake this morning and I have spent the last week relaxing… I decided to go for something a bit for comfy and free flowing. Today I wore my comfiest pair of boyfriend cut jeans, a purple tank top with cascading ruffle, a silver sequined toms and baby blue socks with kites.  

The first day back form spring break wasn't as bad a as I thought it was. Although everyone was groggy, tired and seemed to be missing freedom as much as I do. But, at the end of the day school was the place that I seemed to be missing the most.

My comfy, sparkly TOMS and my special kite socks.

Fridays, Yellow and Lots of Pennies!

   Hey Guys, do you what day it is? The most wonderful, exciting and waited for day. NO , not Christmas! I’s Friday! Now that the week is over and spring has started, it is time to sleep in, stay up late and procrastinate.

 Today was quite interesting and allowed for me to have a bit of fun. Se all those pennies to the left? Those are for my good friend the lunch man. After being rude and impatient I thought that I would give him something that would take PLENTY of time. So, I paid for lunch in ALL PENNIES. Exactly 150 of them. Of course, he was in shock when I handed them to him, but he simply dumped them into the money tray without even counting! Hmm, maybe next time I’ll only pay half! It’s not like he going to count!

 Also, today was the finale of Cancer Awareness Week. All week we people all over the globe having been showing that support and colors for cancer. Monday was purple, Tuesday was orange, Wednesday was blue, Thursday was pink, and Friday was yellow. Yellow represents early childhood cancer affecting millions of children each year. With the glow of Friday of their faces , and the bright pop of color they are clothed in, hundreds of smiling faces bounced up and down the hallways.

Cancer Awarness Week

Hey Everybody! Its Monday and you know what that means, Time to PROCRASTINATE! But, seriously this week is quite special. It is Cancer Awareness week. A week where people around the globe can spread awareness about cancer. To do this, my school is having a different theme for each day to highlight a different type of cancer. This is  something that I hold Dear to my heart. Some of my family members have died from cancer, and recently  one of my classmate Oscar Gregorio was diagnosed with Leukemia. We Miss You Oscar!

Today’s theme was Purple. I was in luck, because not only does purple look excellent against my skin tone, but I had the perfect purple outfit. Today I featured a purple racer back tank top with chiffon around the collar, my cropped trench coat , blue skinny jeans, and last but not least my glittery purple converse.

Thousands of people are affected by cancer every single day. Even if we may not be able affect the cancer itself, we can help the people in need , and show support. Even if the act is as simple as dressing up to spread the word.

My overly Happy friend Collette, and I.
