Blog B-dayyy








There are so many new things going on in my life, and lots of reasons to celebrate. I just got an adorable new apartment with my boyfriend, turned 23, and my blog turned 1! Thank you for all the love, inspiration, and support this past year. It has been an honor to get to know you, and to explore my style along the way.

Rhyming and Styling










Just a quickie post today before I am off to work! As you can see I got my hurrr (hair) did on Saturday, and I am totally digging my new style. Its nothing drastic, but definitely needed to cut off the unhealthy ends, and give my hair an overall style. I am sooo pleased--my fave part is the blunt bang, obviously! Aside from that, not much else is new, except the fact that my stylist job with Nordstrom starts today. Eeeeek wish me luck!

Feminismz










Two posts in two days? I'm impressed with myself! At the start of the year, I was blogging almost everyday. Recently I've had to cut back (a lot) due to work. I have missed being able to get dressed up and let out my creative side. My work definitely stimulates my creativity, but over the last year I have enjoyed using my own wardrobe and body as a means of expression in a way that I never have before. As one of my muses, Madeline Pendleton, explains the photos I take are never about physical beauty. Beauty is an ideal dictated onto bodies by heteropatriarchal empire, and I consciously work to go against problematic beauty narratives. At a fundamental level, blogging is about my love for clothes. With every look I want to challenge myself artistically, create a story, and find new ways to wear what I own. I truly seek to have fun with fashion, and empower others to be passionate about what they wear.

This is my first day off in literally forever. I am so happy to be able to just rest, bump some Die Antwoord, and do another shoot with Adrienne today. 
I also have some big news...my internship with Nordstrom ends this week, however I have been promoted. I will officially be a stylist with the company in the Savvy department! I am seriously pumped. FOK IT.
