My New Blog


Hey guys, it's Em! I know, it's been forever. I am ready to start blogging again. And I created a new blog: The Pink Zombie. I cannot even describe with mere words how excited I am about it. M and I still love each other very much, but decided it was best to create our own blogs. M will be making her own blog soon as well! You can check out my new blog here.

Loooooook What I Found

So looking through old pictures I found this son of a gun'
I remember we had to take pictures inside because it was 1365534876x degrees outside and now I'm wishing it could be like that again because it's snowing in Arizona and It makes me want to cry.

Sasquatch is back

My biggest problem with winter? Not being to wear color and dresses, you guys know me I live for dresses. Everything in my wardrobe for winter/fall is black on black on black oh and to spice things up maybe grey. So I think if I owned some of the items above I could still manage to be warm and not blend into the pavement.

Oh and ragarding my title, I wore this outfit to school recently and was temporarily knicknamed sacquatch.


3. Cocktail Ring
4. Tortoise Round Glasses (similar ones found here)

With Love. ♥

High School: the breeding ground for mistakes, drama, and bad conciences.

You know what guys? I'm glad I'm wierd, I'm glad I have strict parents, I'm glad I've made the mistakes I've made and learned from them because I think back about 4 months ago and my view of life was really different. It's funny how someone can change you and your views so suddenly, but I'm glad I did. I mean sometimes I think "that should've been me" or if this happened I would be doing this type of thing, but I'm happy being here; being a 16 year old who acts like she's 5. Thats ok. I have the rest of my life to be an "adult" (like most people think they are), so I'm spending the last year and a half I have left in high school like a kid, because lets face it at 16 you really are still just a baby.
I'm wearing a sweater from Papaya, boots and tights from Stage, Bag from Ross, Earrings from Bealles Outlet




With Love. ♥

Oh and I just had to add Mariah Carey- Always be my baby... well, because I can.

The happy median between Lady Gaga and a burka.

I cannot even express how much I regret having to tell you this, but I need to take a break from blogging. It will only be temporary of course. This blog is so important to me. I love all of you beautiful people I have discovered because of it. And my style probably would never have evolved into what it is now if I had not entered this incredible world of blogging. But unfortunately, what my style is now needs to evolve yet again. I need to start clothing myself in things my parents approve of. No ripped up tights or miniskirts, both staples in my closet. I am only a junior in high school and I need to comply to what my parents ask for. When I fly away from this nest and go to college, I'll be able to dress like freakin' Lady Gaga. But for now, I need to find a compromise. Lately I have been wearing outfits that do not feel like me at all, just to please my parents. I have to find the happy median between Lady Gaga and a burka. Only then can I start blogging again. A style blog can't be successful if one doesn't even have a style. Until then, M, who has her own lovely style, will keep posting, so please keep visiting here.

**gag** Aren't these necklaces cute? **gag**


Lately I'm seeing amazing necklaces that are meant to kill you really close to your neck. Collars, bibs, torques, and chokers... The instant I saw one of these in a magazine, I knew I had to have one. Then they started popping up all over the place. (I'm pretty sure they don't really kill you, I just think it's funny interesting that they call them chokers. I'm putting way too many lines through my words in this post... I crossed that out because it's stupid that I'm pointing out the obvious.) I can't pick a favorite. It's between that awesome chain and tube one, the one with the bugs (I LOVE BUGS! But you knew that.), the creepy face one, and that bright, insanely fun one with too much just the right amount going on. Can you guys pick a favorite, or are you just as undecided as I am?

Topshop long swirl drops torque $50.00
Topshop premium multistone collar $135.00
Topshop chain and tube necklace $60.00
Asos pleated leather collar necklace $34.92
Asos double torque necklace $31.43
Topshop bug collar $80.00
Asos metal collar necklace $20.95
 Topshop carved face collar necklace $60.00
 Charm and Chain flo bib by Fenton $850.00

I love rock 'n' roll... And clothes.

Voices carry.



Girls just want to have fun.



Maneater.



Another brick in the wall.



Vogue.



I love rock 'n' roll.



Hungry like the wolf.



She bop.



 These are all from my very own Polyvore! I created it about a year ago, but kind of forgot about it. Recently, however, I got back on, erased everything, and started from scratch. I name all my looks after some of my favorite songs (mostly 80s). So if you want to know how I would dress if I had money, check it out.

Deodorant dances and Pilates in our panties.

Forever 21 dress worn as shirt (last seen here); Charlotte Russe pumps (last seen here); California Girlz skirt; Wet Seal tights (last seen here); flower pin from JC Penney (last seen here); fascinator from Icing (last seen here)









I have to admit this outfit might perhaps have a little bit too much going on. And I wouldn't advise anyone to dress like this. But this is not a style advice blog. This is a personal style blog, and when I donned this outfit, I felt like it reflected my personal style so much more than what I usually wear. 

This outfit came to be with a little experiment of mine. I laid out several articles of clothing and accessories that I thought seemed the most "me" on my bed, put some of them together, and ended up with this, a collage of polka dots and pink and zippers and feathers and horizontal stripes and pink and flowers and sparkly nail polish and veils and heels and vertical stripes and pink.

Fashion should be about expressing yourself. I recently wrote a research paper on fashion in the 1920s for my English class. (My teacher was sweet enough to give me that topic, even though I was home sick that day. She wouldn't let anyone else pick it. Awwww, right?) The fashion of that time reflected a new kind of woman that voiced her ideas and took charge and embraced her new freedom. She expressed herself through not only her words and actions, but also by the dress she wore. And she wasn't afraid of what people might have thought.

Every day we risk being judged by the clothes we wear. But that doesn't mean we should change for those judges. Every woman should wear what she feels best in, what she feels like her in.

And this doesn't just apply to fashion. This applies to everything we do. No, I'm not saying we should go around murdering people with axes because that is what we feel best doing (I hope this isn't true for any of you!), but you know what I mean. Be a dork. Be an outcast. Be that weirdo that everyone talks about. Be whatever you are. Be real.

I would like to dedicate this post to my mentor, who was never anything but herself. And the lady that she truly is happens to be the most beautiful person I know. She taught me how to dance. Not just deodorant dances, but life dances too.
