Drive

sweater: missguided, shorts: urban outfitters, jacket: forever 21, socks: american apparel, heels: ebay

"Her eyes shine like neon lights. Darling by day. Driver by night."

This outfit is completely inspired by one of my most favorite movie characters, the Driver. (ya know, from Drive).  I won't get into a full character analysis here, but the film portrays him as this bad guy/good guy type, who has a good heart that leads him into violent situations. He also has killer (pun maybe intended?) style that is worthy of emulating. That is exactly what I have tried to do here with my girl version of his simple looks that are yet packed with attitude. So, I paired my ultra femme fuzzy sweater and shorts (which are the best ever as they literally feel as though I am wearing a fleece blanket on my body) with a leather jacket to toughen it up some, and then finished it off with ruffle socks and white heels because I can't imagine pushing the pedal to the metal in a getaway car wearing anything else. Really, I think all this post is missing is some fitted leather gloves and the sounds of an 80's synth. 

Class of the Past

blouse: c/o choies, skirt: american apparel, socks: target, shoes: vintage, ribbon: I honestly don't know

Flashback...Monday... to that time I wore these shoes to school and lost the soles in the hallway (due to dry rotting as vintage pieces sometimes do) and just walked quickly away leaving them there because umm, how embarrassing. I have the worst luck with finding myself in awkward, yet sometimes amusing, situations such as that one. Anyways, the shoes are back because nothing matches this tennis skirt better than a pair of saddles (except for maybe air force ones if you're going for a look full of swag). Also, here's to all the girls out there continuing to make the tacky yet so convenient hair tie around the wrist a fashion statement. I see you.

By the way, how perfect was my friend Andi's house for these pictures? Somehow, the white screened in porch was the perfect setting for a vintage school girl outfit to me. Now, I'm off to make a hot cup of tea and learn to like the taste of cough drops, as I seem to have acquired some sort of sickness. THIS, THIS IS WHY WE SHOULD HAVE NEVERENDINGSUMMERS! Rant over.

A Horror Story: Best Friends Forever

First things first, I need to apologize for my absence this week. After today I'm going to try my hardest to not let more than 3 days pass between a post, pinky promise. However, I am back just in time for Halloween  leave it to me too accidentally schedule this for the day after, with a pretty little horror story/picture film. Hide yo kids, hide yo wives, and keep scrolling. 

*Note: No, that is not a pre lip surgery/lip liner (whatever you believe) Kylie Jenner, but my friend Brooke. Also, do keep in mind that neither of us are actors, and I am also not a short story writer. Thank You!

Now, Blair had always had a problem with her vision, but as far as her mind let her look back, she remembered being best friends with Emma. They planted their friendship in sleepovers and secrets, and watched it grow like the braids in their hair.

And, just as a crown symbolizes a queen, they fastened around their necks a matching angel wing. Best friends forever, the promise was made.

But, sometimes, more is promised than what is actually said, and sometimes a promises take on different meaning in each person's head. Blair continued to see Emma talking to others. She saw her smile at them and shake their hands, she saw Emma make other friends. Feeling enraged and betrayed, she began throwing things, trying to un-see the images that were flashing through her mind. Blair, could feel the blood boiling in her veins. Emma broke the rules, and now she must pay. That's when she heard her in the other room, putting on lipstick and spritzing perfume. Blair couldn't let her leave to abandon her again, so she placed a new necklace on the throat of her friend.

Emma, remembered that day all too well. Coming home from work and turning on the television, she felt a cold chill of fear followed by a sigh of relief, as she met the eyes of the girl who had been stalking her for the last 14 years. Suicide, the news reporter said. For unknown reasons, she had slit her throat and bled. Finally, Emma thought, the court dates, the feeling of being watched, the creepy gifts, they would all stop. But, that is where she would be wrong. Restraining orders don't stop the dead, especially when they have such strong delusions in their head. Feeling as though she wasn't alone, Emma felt herself tense up as stiff as a stone. "Best Friends Forever" was whispered in her ear, and behind her stood the worst of her fears.
