A Closer Inspection //

Check it out, I put on light blue eyeshadow like some kind of soft-lit Dolly Parton worshipper! #Accomplishments. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, something about color on my eyelids these days makes me uncomfortable. I used to wear MAD COLORS all over my eyes in my younger years, particularly purple, taking pride in my blending ability and rainbow-looking-ness. Now it’s all black eyeliner, all the time. Have I “lost my edge”? My makeup edge? It seems similar to how Madonna went from looking like this, to looking like she attended the Botox MILF School of Beauty in her later years. It’s too soon for me to go to that beauty school, guys. Too soon.

What are these things, how do they work??!! 

Sometimes I feel like my personal style is a little bit “cool Miami grandma”. Like, she’s a resident of Miami, definitely a grandma, but she’s got a kicky attitude and buys you stuff you actually want!  If you were 21 (or 18, what the heck, she’s cool, right?) you guys would go somewhere swanky to sip gin and tonics or frosty glasses of a crisp white (she sprung for the bottle, better price per glass) after a shopping trip (somewhere that sells breezy caftans and cocktail rings, she knows the owner).  This gold purse speaks to that type of lady, possibly because up until recently it belonged to my grandma.

White Tops, Color Pops //

Embrodiered jacket, straw bag, big ass sunglasses - am I a fAuXhEmIaN yet?? Imma quote Icona Pop and letcha know that I - DON’T - CAHE - I - LOVE - this jacket. Seriously, just try to make me change out of this jacket on the weekend. I will have a scary, psycho meltdown and eat your face off if presented with the task of choosing something else to wear.** I’m not taking this off till June.

**This did not happen. Whatever my boyfriend says, he is lying, and should be ignored.

Princetonian Prepz // 

This was the day after my sister’s wedding. I did a lot of sitting, mainly because I was tired. I was ignorantly under the impression that weddings are “relaxing”, and I was going home for a “vacation” of some design - LOLOL. Heck no!! I tend to fall back on preppy classics when things get hectic, because they feel easy to wear. Bright wedges and stripes will dress you up in a family-friendly way, perfect for a brunch at 10am on a Sunday with lots of people you haven’t seen in a while. And by a while, I mean since last night, when you drank a bunch of gin and danced to Flagpole Sitta in front of them.

• bow blouse

This outfit is showcasing the “three good colors in a get-up” thing I do. Like, pick three good colors, then have them all in your outfit. An extremely complicated concept that I understand if you aren’t able to grasp. Ok, here, I’ll explain it - there’s orange (purse), blue (necklace) and, ahh, magenta (dress). I really like colors. 

• this blog is turning into a PSA for turquoise jewelry
• apparently this “3-color” thing is a thing

I think I’ve gushed enough about this necklace, but seriously - it makes anything cool!

If you couldn’t already tell, I’m a firm believer that you can never have on too much turquoise. It becomes sort of a neutral - but then again, I was thinking the other day that it’s possible I think every color is a neutral………….disregard everything I’ve ever told you. 

• triangle necklace
• turquoise clutch
• somethin’ black and gold for your wrist
