online shopping haul: etsy & urban outfitters

Hello folks! I hope you're all doing well! I sure am... minus the fact that I am blowing my money on online shopping (but who could say no to the Urban Outfitters sales and mystery Etsy items?). 

Now, I'm trying to rationalize here, there's plenty of "reasons" why I should order new things. It's getting to be cold and I need to stock up on layers! I don't have enough of _____ clothing I actually need this! I haven't bought anything online for awhile and it was on sale! Well whether or not I actually needed these new items I got them anyways, and I love every one of them. Here are the things I got: 

I got this Kimchi Blue skirt from Urban Outfitters online. It's quite plain, but the embroidery adds a nice touch which is why I love it.

This Rag Union Double Foil Denim Jacket is from Urban, and it was on sale for $30! I love the bold purple color and the jacket has a 90s sort of vibe which is totally rad.

This was my mystery flannel from SASHASHORTS Shop on Etsy! It's over-sized so I use it sort of like an alternative to a jacket. 

Aaaaaaaand finally here's my mystery over-sized sweater from SASHASHORTS on Etsy! It's very comfortable and I absolutely love it. Her shop is amazing and her mystery orders are very satisfactory.

I remember a time when I didn't know about the wonders of online shopping (thanks Dana for getting me into it). Oh where the days have gone, but I mean what kind of fashion blogger would I be if I didn't update my closet once in awhile?

Halloween is honestly one of my favorite days of the year. When else are we encouraged to dress up and go all out? When else can we knock on someone's door and demand candy? Maybe I am giving into a capitalistic ploy, but I don't care. I can't be bothered to fight the system if I have Kit-Kats in my mouth.

This year, I was inspired by Japanese pop star Kyary Pamyu Pamyu (ala the "Pon Pon Pon" song) and her signature monster makeup to do a sort of demonic schoolgirl look. Surprisingly, the only things I had to buy were white eyeliner and false eyelashes! Everything else was found around the house. The "schoolgirl blouse" is actually a shirt-jacket-thing from the 2008 Olympics, but an alternative could probably be found at a thrift store. This look is really simple, but it definitely delivers. 

What were you for Halloween? Do you like looking cute for Halloween, or going all guts-and-gore-galore? Do you still trick-or-treat? (I still do. Whoops.) Let us know below!

Love always,

Dana

(P.S.: Apologies to all the small children I probably scared the crap out of.)

Hello folks!

So I know I haven't been posting very frequently lately, and I apologize but I do promise to try post more often! I have two drafts waiting to be edited soon so be on the look out!

So a little update with what's going on with me right now, I don't know if I should post this because it's not quite an enriching piece on any sort of trend but I will anyways. Today is finally my fifteenth birthday! I am of course one of the youngest in my class which is weird to me (but of course not as young as Dana who's birthday is in fact coming up pretty soon *wink*). It was a very eventful day to say the least (I got asked to homecoming which was fun, and I'll be sure to write about dresses as the date comes closer). 

So anyways, getting back to fashion, here's a little quick OOTD for y'all coming to you today on my fifteenth birthday (I'm a child I know). Apologies for the poor iPhone quality.

beauty queen in tears

URBAN OUTFITTERS tank top // FOREVER21 shorts // SODA SHOES flatform sneaks

Hey guys! Dana here. Well, it's finally October, but living in California means it's still 70 degrees out. The chunky sweaters and scarves will have to wait. My Urban Outfitters package arrived yesterday with this sick muscle tee, so I pounced on the opportunity to wear it. Contrary to popular belief, that cat is shooting lasers, not crying blood. To each his own, I guess.

Quick update on life in general: Sorry I've been sort of M.I.A. for a while. Sophomore year's actually hitting me pretty hard with a seemingly endless bombardment of tests and projects--not to mention Pre-Calculus. No thanks. Otherwise, life's been treating me well! I hacked off my ombre with some kitchen scissors at 1 AM last Monday, in case you haven't noticed. And I finally got my hands on Photoshop, hence the mediocre photo processing. I promise I'll get better.

Ebay haul coming up soon! Now get off the Internet.

Catch you on the flippity flip,

Dana

(P.S. It looks like my fly is down, but I swear it's not. The underside of my belt just happens to be flesh-colored. What a coinkydink.)

i left my heart in san francisco

GIFTED beanie // URBAN OUTFITTERS tank top // H&M jacket // F21 jeans // SODA SHOES flatform sneaks // MARC JACOBS purse and necklace

San Francisco is one of my favorite cities in the world. For one, the weather is always just how I like it: crisp, cold, and cloudy. You could say I'm a bit of a drab person, but I grew up in the Bay Area, where sunny days are scarce and the sky is more thank likely to be gray, which is why I'm so excited for autumn. Pumpkin spice lattes and chunky sweaters and circle scarves and rainboots and beanies and mittens and fireplaces, here I come! In the coming weeks, expect to see a lot less skin and a lot more layers.

Sorry for the lack of updates! We're both really busy with school, so bear with us. But watch out; coming your way is my eBay review (all the items finally arrived!) and some style tips! Thanks for reading.

じゃ、またね！
Dana

haul: thrift town

Hello folks! Yesterday, we went to San Francisco and we went to a store called Thrift Town. We each got some pretty cute clothes for a steal, both of us spending less than ten dollars on two items each. We filmed a thrift haul video, so check it out below!

school sux

I'm not what you would call a morning person. When my alarm clock goes off at 6 AM, I immediately hit the snooze button. I just (A) am severely sleep deprived and (B) terribly unmotivated to go to school, much less get ready for it. However, this past week, I've been forcing myself to get out of bed and pull together semi-decent outfits just to get myself in the right mood for the rest of the day.

In all honesty, I think it's working. All pictures can be found on my instagram.

URBAN OUTFITTERS hawaiian blouse // ANN TAYLOR shorts // CITY SOLES shoes

EBAY snapback // SOMEWHERE IN ASIA crop top // NORDSTROM skirt // SODA SHOES flatforms

COTTON ON cateye sunnies // EBAY tank & suspender skirt // SODA SHOES flatforms

BORROWED cardigan // URBAN OUTFITTERS tank // BILLABONG acid jeggings // SODA SHOES flatforms

As you can tell, I'm a big fan of two things: my flatforms and the color black.
