Don't Stop Me Now

My mom has a pair of ridiculous, old-school white Reebok sneakers that she wears around the house when she's needing motivation to clean up and get things done. She calls them her "magic shoes". I won't lie; she endured years of ridicule from me because of these shoes. But I think I get it now - My Jeffrey Campbell lace ups make me feel powerful, like I can't and won't be stopped! They're my magic shoes, and I can't believe I didn't realize what that term meant until now. With that information, my message today for you all is this; wear your magic shoes. No matter how tall, how obnoxious, how expensive or inexpensive, or how ridiculous. Life is too short to wear anything less than what makes you feel unstoppable. 

Side note: I'm really excited about all my recent blog changes, including a new blog title and layout! I hope you enjoy the changes as well. Thanks for sticking with me. <3

Pale Pink

 I always edit my photos a bit, just for brightening and contrast purposes, but I assure you that my hair has remained untouched. That's right, my hair is pink! I had to dye it for an Aveda fashion show that I am walking the catwalk for, and I am absolutely loving it. I'm not looking forward to changing it back after the fashion show in order to get more modeling jobs, so I'm going to try and enjoy it as long as I can! 

I am so excited, because tonight is the Free People event that I am cohosting here in Portland! My boyfriend will be going towards the end of the event to take some photos, and I will be sure to share those with you all!

Have a happy day!

Last Kiss

 I have an abnormally large collection of thigh high socks for someone who rarely wears them. Today, because of the gloomy weather clashing with my sunny day mentality, I decided a pair of thigh socks would be the perfect thing to keep my floral romper cozy. I love the look of a short hemline, long socks, and a long sweater. The juxtaposition of abnormal lengths is something that I always love in an outfit. I've had this cardigan for a long time, and it's probably the coziest thing I own. I was really excited to have an opportunity to style it up a bit. Working the outfit with my Jeffrey Campbell minimal lace ups was the cherry on top of a cute rainy day ensemble for me. Unfortunately, none of these items except the shoes are still being sold. Sometimes I shy away from items I know aren't sold any more because it means it's less fun for you guys, but I think what's more important is me giving you outfits that I think are truly, well, cute! I'm not ready to kiss these items goodbye just yet.

What do you think of knee high socks? Do you have any items you just can't get rid of?

February Wishlist

My budget allows for me to make about one significant fun purchase a month. Last month, it was the pants you all saw in my last post. And in case you didn't see that, check the bad ass pants out by clicking here! Anyways, we're about halfway through February, and my gears are turning on what I want my next special piece to be, assuming I can save up enough. Hmm. I'm thinking number three... If not, number two! (For those of you who don't know, I've had a massive obsession with Nirvana as well as doodling eyeballs all over everything since as long as I can remember obsessing over things - So this shirt is kind of a special find!)

Bob Dylan's Shoes

I am pretty obsessed with this jacket. I bought it at Nordstrom for $88, and it's super heavy and warm. It's kind of rare to find a really cute jacket (in my opinion) that's still super warm under $100. Trust me, coming from Alaska, I've given that search a damn good try. I'm definitely wearing this jacket back home for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I'm pretty confident I'll stay toasty warm. Not that I go outside for longer than necessary when I visit home in winter - But still!

Speaking of obsessions, I'm kind of also obsessing over these shoes. Not just these shoes, but any shoes even shaped like this. It's not exactly a new obsession, but it's one that gets a resurgence in fall/winter. Shoes like these always remind me of Bob Dylan. I know I've talked about how much I love his music, but I think it's also pretty plain to see I draw a lot of inspiration from him style wise. When I think about it, most of my style icons are boys. Weird? Maybe. Anyways, it's gotten to the point where, if Matt is over and I ask him to get out my "Bob Dylan shoes" it takes him a few tries because about 50% of she shoes I own are referred to as my "Bob Dylan shoes". Long story short, I love a good pair of shoes I could see a male musician wearing from the 1960s-1970s.

Where do you draw some of your shoe inspiration from?

Trendy Tuesday: Clogs

Hey guys!

I am noticing a definite trend lately - Clogs! I really like this trend. I had been thinking of getting a pair for a long time now, but never got around to it because there wasn't a cute enough pair. Clogs tend to be sold for the working mom category of women, not that that's a problem! It's just not my style. I have been very pleased to find that clogs are getting cuter these days!

What do you guys think of this trend?

Stuff I Like: Steve Madden

The title of this post should be stuff I love. Steve Madden is my absolute favorite when it comes to shoes. I don't think I've seen a single pair of shoes that I didn't love and want. I wear my Troopa and Outlaww boots all the time. They are a great quality, they're always stylish, and they go great with everything! Here are a few favorites that I'm lusting for that I found on Polyvore!
