im BIG on inspirational pictures. im NOT big on making my own compilations. a LOT of bloggers are. ive never tried it. here are my first attempts :) GET INSPIRED! <3 fall...  fall 2...  winter...  winter 2...  what are your favorite seasonal color combinations? :) Add Comment my obsession with mint green rages on. i dont know WHAT it is. i have never been physically and emotionally DRAWN to a color in my LIFE. and then BAM. this summer- HELLO MINT GREEN! i never saw you comin'... but you haven't left yet.  say hello to the newest addition to my family. i bought this last week for myself, for my upcoming birthday. not gonna say which one, but its a big one. ok im finally going to be 24. again. i thought this ring was the PERFECT way to celebrate the new strong, independent person i am. i've never felt better about myself in my entire life. and i somehow, always need a ring to symbolize that. some people have engagement and marriage rings- i have milestone rings. and this one. suits. me. <3  i would jump into this picture if i could... this is what my dreams look like. well, this... and cheese...  i can't even tell you how much this picture inspires me... its NUTS. i look at it, and INSTANTLY a thousand things fly through my mind. projects, parties, presents...  i REALLY want to make this... it would be so easy... and it would last... well... at least until i start hating mint green ;)  this is what my eye lids have looked like for the past month.  i read once that only truly insane people LOVE mint-chocolate-chip-icecream. its my favorite. lock me up.  without a DOUBT- this is the direction my house is headed in...  ... and EVERY. MORNING. i pray for the strength to NOT do this to my hair. soon i will lose the battle... hay hay! i put in a 14 hour work day yesterday, and cranked out some AWESOME new S&BB sturrrff. check it out! they're now available for purchase HERE! BUY ME BUY ME BUY ME BUY ME BUY ME BUY ME BUY ME! S&BB Fabric Garlandsinspiration:and last but not least- STYLE WATCH IS MOVING!!! from now on, i will be posting my semi-daily "style watch" blogs here: S&BB BLOGGY so if you like style watch, make sure you subscribe to that blog feed as well! and SAY HI! <3 if there was only one beauty trend i wish i could pull off... it would be- above all others- red lips. i have found them infinitely sexy since i could walk, i think. i am drawn to red lips. i cant escape them. i think it stems back to loving drew barrymore at such a young age... and she has always worn the bold, bold, blood red lip. i love it. it turns my head. i gravitate toward it. im entranced by it. it takes a very bold and special lady (or man-lady) to wear blood red lips. they have to be done right. the wrong shade can make you look deathly ill... and unless your teeth are PERFECTLY shinning pearly white, it will look horrible... like your teeth have jaundice... of the soul... so without further ado, i present to you the red lip done right. and let me just say- i've stared at each and every one of these pictures for at least 30 (1 alligator, 2 alligator, 3 alligator) seconds each. thats a long time to just STARE ... like a creeper... at one image... without blinking.... whilst coveting... ooooo..... red lips <3 *click photos to enlarge and of course, the inspiration that started my obsession... but of course, when i wear red lipstick, i wind up looking like this... sorry girls... i had to warn them... :/ ahhhhhh. i think its time for me to upgrade. what do you think of these? aren't they amazing?! (most pictures via elsie larson over at abeautifulmess.typepad.com. others found by google search "pretty tattoos" and "word tattoos".) something i have always gotten a kick out of is some japanese teenagers' interpretation of american style... especially those in tokyo. i can't tell you how many times i have seen little japanese girls running around san francisco or l.a. decked all out in mini-skirts with my little pony's swinging around their necks, or their hair crimped out to mars with 15 pounds of eyeliner on - all atop a school girl uniform. i just think its HILARIOUS and absolutely adorable. such freedom and joy with fashion. in a world where everyone takes themselves SO seriously, its refreshing to see people who just want to have fun. not dismissing everything that is wrong with the world, but finding things to celebrate in SPITE of the state of the world. im not saying that if you are just cynical and pissed off all the time (like me) that there's something wrong with you, and im DEFINITELY not saying to find something good in EVERY situation (cuz i hate those people... sometimes you just want to be sad and stop having people tell you you're a bad person for not pulling yourself out of it...) but when you can take the time to pin 6 pound puppies into your hair as well as 15 pink hair extensions, fish net tights, a mini skirt and 3 bathing suits you have sewn together to make a shirt- there's just something special about you :) so today is a tribute to japanese girl street fashion! im not sure why teenagers who have never been to america think all americans dress like rainbow brite super heros... OR the olsen twins... but as someone who would choose to wear everything in her closet at once as WELL as every accessory known to man... all at the same time... i definitely appreciate it ;) JAPANESE GIRL FASHION! |
