Valentino Pre-Fall 2015

One word: O B S E S S I O N

I've never really cared for runway fashion but Valentino 

has just changed the game. These dresses are exquisite. 

I never use that word, but honestly it's the only one adjective

 that can capture the unique, flawless, magical essence the line possesses.

Below are a few of my favorites.

[ Might want to take a deep breather because these dresses are sure to take your breath away. ]

The entire line is genius.

From the lengths of the pieces, to the sheerness of the material, to the patterns,

it's completely genius. Combined beautifully.

This hardly ever happens when predicted, so this is cause to celebrate.

You can guarantee one thing to go along with snow.

Pictures.

Needless to say my Instagram and Twitter are filled to the max with images of the beautiful flurries, however I thought I'd bring the seasonal atmosphere to the blog as well.

The Decision

oh. my. gosh.

It's December.

I haven't posted since October. 

I'm a terrible blogger, I am so so sorry.

BUT ON THE PLUS SIDE I HAVE FINALLY CREATED MY NEW URL/BLOG NAME.

*cue drum roll please*

my new blog name is

. . .

FLATS & HATS

It has honestly taken months to come up with this so I hope you all love it as much as I do.

***To all of you who have contacted me for interviews & other opportunities: I will get back to you all this week!! I am so so sorry for how long this has taken. Thank you for your patience!***

However, I am ready to get back on the blogging scene. I'm ready to annoy the crap out of you all with music reviews & Goodwill hauls & stories about my cat & everything else!

I love you all so much and I hope that you'll come along on this new journey. A journey full of finding yourself, a journey full of fashion mishaps & fashion legacies, a journey full of life,but most importantly, a journey full of happiness. 

Considering we are only four days from the new year, I thought I would officially change my URL on January 1st. 

Thank you all for sticking by me through 2014, it's been an unbelievably stressful year, and I've had terrible posting habits, but 2015 is full of new opportunities & surprises! Can't wait to see you all in the New Year!

☾ Rad things bring me joy ☽

1. Writing.

I love love love keeping a journal. It's so cool being able to flip back a few pages and see how much your life has changed in such a short period of time. I also like to write poetry, but I'm terrible at it soooo yeah aha oh well.

2. Free outdoor concerts

Literally my favorite thing about living so close to Nashville.

There are so many free music opportunities; even if you're not a country music fan *raises hand* you can still find music festivals like the one I went to a few weeks ago. One of the bands had even played at Bonnaroo this past year! They were a m a z i n g. They call themselves ELEL, go check them out! The Apache Relay, Steelism, and The Promised Land also played. They were all beyond amazing, I definitely suggest giving them all a listen!

3. KKH

Kim Kardashian Hollywood. Need I say more?

4. Henna Tattoos

On a recent trip to Ohio {Kings Island}, my friend Madison and I got henna tattoos, and we looooove them. They're so cute and last up to a few weeks!

 

stage 1,
stage 2,
& stage 3

{as you can tell, they get so much darker within about 24 hours}

5. Friendship Bracelets

For those of you who know me, you know that I have a teensy weensy Pinterest obsession. Not an unhealthy one..just one that keeps me up until the wee hours of the morning pinning terrariums and winged eyeliner..

-anyway-

With that being said, when I saw that I finally hit 1,000 followers it literally made my day! A big thanks to all of you who follow, and if you don't follow, feel free to click the picture above and you'll be directed straight to my profile!

Also, I just left for Kings Island with some family and a few friends.

For those of you who don't know what Kings Island is, it's an amazing

amusement park in Ohio. So yeah, Tevas will definitely come in handy while walking around a huge amusement park all day!
