Shades of Blue OOTD 2/17/15

DSCN1720

Monochrome fashion is all the rage at the moment, or layering multiple pieces of the same color clothing over each other. Majority of the time this look is achieved with blacks, whites, or grays but today I decided to reflect my winter blues with this almost all blue ensemble.

Overalls (similar) • Socks (similar) • Shoes

For my hair, I wanted to continue the clean formal look the cool blue button down gave, while also playing with the overalls, and mixed patterns of my socks and shoes, so I went with double bun look.

The weather is unbearable lately, I can’t wait for summer to come around,

With love,

Birthday Haul

As most of you guys know my birthday was a couple weeks ago. Since my birthday is around the holidays I thought it might be a good idea to do a holiday/ birthday haul. I in no way am trying to brag about what I got as gifts, and I am extremely grateful for everything that I got. I think that the most important things in life cant be bought, but I’m very happy to have friends and family who know me well enough to get me gifts that they know I would love. I’ve included links to most of the gifts I received, so if any of the items in particular sticks out to you, feel free to check it out. Maybe this post can even inspire you, and give you some ideas as to what to get one of your friends for his or her birthday. Anyways, I hope you guys like this haul!

Online Stores Pt 2

Not so long ago, I posted an article with links to some of my favorite online stores. You guys seemed to enjoy looking through the shops and boutiques that I had recently liked too. I mean, who wouldn’t like to be able to be lazy, and sit at home looking at cute clothes, instead of having to get up and get dressed to go shopping. Since you guys seemed to have like the post, I thought it was time for part two of my favorite online stores. So here’s some places you guys can check out, when you don’t want to have to make the effort to drive to your nearest mall. Hope you guys like it!

If Life was an Indie Album Cover

If life was an Indie music styled album cover, full of abstract seemingly unrelated objects, laid-back original clothing, and an overall vibe that you just wanted to be part of, it would be a whole lot better. For this shoot, model Anabel Riggio, allowed me to drag her around with a ruck sack full of objects and pose her with them to put together a shoot that was creative, and limitless. The overall result have a summery vibe but don’t be fooled, it was freezing outside.

If you guys like these theres another set with different styles I’m itching to upload, I looovvveee feedback, so feel free to comment you opinions or favorite indie artists, or new ideas!

With love,

Anna-Jean

Thanksgiving OOTD

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This year there’s so many things I’m thankful for, from small things, like my new phone or maybe even Black Friday shopping, to more important things such as my family and friends. I think, no matter what, there is always something to be thankful for.

Anyways, here’s what I wore on thanksgiving this year.

Online Shopping

Imagine walking into a room and only seeing a sea of crops tops, high waisted shorts, and white high top converse around you. Because of stores like Brandy Melville, Forever 21, and Pacsun this type of thing isn’t a rare occasion. Now, I’m not saying those stores are bad. In fact, I happen to love shopping at all those places but sometimes it gets boring shopping at the same stores over and over again. Luckily, with many self-run online stores and boutiques popping up left and right, being original may not be as hard as it seems. Here are some of my favorite online stores that you guys can check out if you’re growing tired of the same old same old.

AJ Butler

Fall (insert heart eye emoji) is upon us, and you’ll realize if you keep up with our blog, Fall is my absolute favorite season for two reasons. Halloween. And. Layers.

More importantly, (in this post at least) Layers! While fall is “sweater Weather” (#theNeighbourhood) there are endless possibilities to spice up your wardrobe. Mix patterns, textures, seasonal clothes, anything really. Socks with sandals? Why not! Stripes and floral prints? Dress with button downs? Even stack and layer your jewelry! Its up to you lovelies!
