Hippie Love

So when I was younger I was a hippie for halloween so many times because I just loved the style. I had waist long center parted dirty blonde hair then too. But now I still love the style and the fact that it's okay to wear hippie headbands in public once again. (not that that ever stopped me before)
So I made this polyvore about hippie fashion

And I dressed kinda hippie too.

I just started a new book, so the pull to read is too strong.
Um, Peace!!

M.A.C. Owns My Soul (tyler's too) & Help!

Yesterday we went to the mall in search of a good foundation and walked out of there with almost $400.00 in M.A.C. products. But I did learn how to do my eyeshadow, and now I'm not frighteningly yellow anymore.

Though, I did walk around the mall looking like a drag queen as a result of allowing the M.A.C. lady to do my makeup.
When we got home I showed Tyler my M.A.C. loot, and he fell in love with how soft the foundation brush is.

But I'm really proud of myself because I woke up this morning and did my makeup and I didn't look too appalling.

Then today we went down to my college on a test run because I'm going to take the trolley to and from school. On the way down to SDSU I realized that I don't have a bookbag or anything. So mom said I could look for a purse to tote my books and laptop in. Now I'm in search of the perfect bag. So far, all the bags I've been craving are way out of my price range. (which I estimate is around $200.00)
I do like the ones at Urban Outfitters, but that store is not known for well-made items and I'm afraid their purses might not be an exception to the rule. Then there's this Ed Hardy one which I adore, but I don't think I'll get as much use out of it as i would a normal black leather bag. I need one to accomidate a 9" by 13.5" laptop, a few schoolbooks and notebooks. Any suggestions? I swear I looked through every bag on shopstyle.com.
Here are the two I like but don't LOVE.


Help!

Dumped

Which is why I haven't been posting. My ex and I have been working out a lot of things and I've been super busy. But I'll try to post here as well as W_R tonight.
Mommy is taking me and the little one shopping today :D

The Controversial Shoes

So when I first received the Journey's catalog many months ago featuring the Xtra-Hi Converse I was ecstatic.
Yea, you can pick on me for it, but ever since I saw these shoes on Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, I've wanted a pair.

So of course I bought them in black and told everyone I was getting awesome new shoes. Though when I wore them to school I was disappointed that the only comment I received was from a goth girl who said she had the same pair in dark green.
Regardless, I still love them. What do you think about them? I would really like some outside opinions.

Well, I'm off to read.

My First Love

Will always be music. So i felt the need to express that passion in my blog. I constantly surround myself with musicians and my style is heavily influenced by them. I own a guitar, yet I can barely strum a chord. Also, my boyfriends are always musicians. My all-time favorite quote is "Music hath charms to soothe a savage beast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak...."- William Congreve. This quote has held true for me. But music has so many other talents. It changes my mood instantly, and through another's lyrics I express myself quite frequently.
Musicians have amazing talents and should truly be praised as the gods of society.

But, the way I will relate this rambling on about music to my style is through Vanity Fair's recent Fashion Rocks magazine. In it there is an article about Joan Jett and her punk style. I am very inspired by her look and individuality.

This is a much more recent picture but I couldn't find any ones of her circa 1980s that weren't completely blurred out. She rocks leather, black on black, thick smugy eyeliner, and doesn't give a fuck what you think!

Also, Stevie Nicks is another music icon who has an amazing style. She was featured in a previous issue of Fashion Rocks.


Rocker women, definately know how to work it. Except Hayley Williams. That hairstyle screams get the poor girl a fire extinguisher.

But today I didn't dress very rocker-chic. This is what I wore:

I curled my hair because I was home alone and had nothing better to do. It's naturally curly but with all the bleaching I've put it through I had no idea it would hold the curls as well as it did. There is no pose here, I took the picture just before I changed into my pajamas.

Well, it's almost 4:30am here in Cali, so I'm going to take my book (Breaking Dawn) and go enjoy the breaking dawn over the mountains at my house.
It looks something like this:
