PERSONAL JESUS || FEVRIE GIVEAWAY















| REACH OUT AND TOUCH FAITH |

After a long winter break in the windy city, it's back to the daily grind in LA. I loved the cold weather, as I think it really brings out the holiday spirit in everyone, but I'm glad to be back to a mid-70's winter forecast. The first couple weeks of school have kept me busy, but I'm getting back into the groove of things and finding time for the blog again. 

Before the holidays, I was contacted by Fevrie.com in regards to a collaboration and I'm so happy I finally get to share it with you guys! I'm pretty sure this collared crop top was made for me, as I've seen it in my dreams, and it goes with just about everything else in my closet. Fevrie.com has tons of other super chic and trendy pieces, I'll list some of my other favorites from their site below! I had to pair the top with my new white tennis skirt which I am never taking off, and my YRU Nightmares, which I think are named after how difficult it is to walk in them in downtown LA (POTHOLES, I'M LOOKING AT YOU). Kept it simple with the accessories by adding this kick ass Holy Bible clutch, a tattoo choker, some fishnet socks, my wide brim hat, and my Jemulet bracelet. Not to mention my gorgeous new watch I received from my boyfriend for Christmas. He gives me real life heart eyes. I love the feminine silhouette of this outfit, you guys know by now that I'm a sucker for any kind of circle skirt. The collar of the top brings innocence and a specific feel to an otherwise sweet and simple look.

I'm also happy to announce that I'll be doing an Instagram giveaway with Fevrie.com! You could win a $50 gift certificate for their site!! Check my Instagram for rules and details! Click here.

DEVIL SLANG








Feelin' myself 

How CUTE are these outfits!? I was letting out my inner princess during this super fun shoot. I am absolutely obsessed with every piece of Cherokee Neas' clothing line, Devil Slang. Sweet pastels, classic gingham, and fun, girly prints made me feel like a total doll. I honestly couldn't tell you which piece was my favorite if you asked me. I loved the length of the bunny dresses, and I actually fell in love with the silk two-piece sets. As for the skirts, I've only ever dreamed of a circle skirt as perfect as hers- they fit like a glove and they are so flouncy! I really can not think of a better word, the shape is unbeatable. 

I had the pleasure of meeting and shooting with these babes, Cherokee, Arianne, and Avalon. Cherokee is a talented designer, stylist, photographer, and the genius behind this line. Arianne is a gorgeous model who can also be seen all over Tunnel Vision, and Avalon is a goth goddess & DJ making big moves here in LA. All pictures were taken by Phil, a fantastic photographer with a kick ass art collection.

TOTALLY BUGGIN'









Okay, so you're probably going, "Is this like a Noxzema commercial or what?" But seriously, I actually have a way normal life for a teenage girl.

Without a doubt, my daily style icon is Clueless's Cher Horowitz. Girly, trendy, and unapologetic- Cher's style is timeless and the perfect ode to 90's fashion. She inspired this look after I got my hands on this amazing crop top from Shop Jeen! I paired it with my favorite mini skirt, this baby pink fuzzy jacket that is to DIE for (I'm so obsessed with it), and the UNIF Melt Hella Jellies. To accessorize I threw on a few of my favorite tattoo chokers from Paola Loves to Shop and a small clear purse to finish off the look. I'm super into baby pink and other pastels right now, as well as faux furs and other fuzzy fabrics as of late. I'd wear this outfit to a girl's night out or even for a day of shopping on Melrose. It's girly, comfy, and fun- my outfit essentials. I'd like to think that Cher would approve.

I've got a lot of awesome stuff planned for my blog that I can't wait to tell you guys about. I even have an awesome surprise for you!! I'm heading back to Chicago this week so it might be a little delayed. You'll just have to wait and see!!

♡ LOVEFOOL♡

I can't care 'bout anything but you...









I usually look more like this... 
and this.
It finally feels like autumn here in LA, and that means I get to bring out my big sweaters and bundle up. I left my warmest sweaters in Chicago as I don't think I'll need them, but I brought a few back with me and I'm so happy I finally get to wear them! 
This romantic maroon sweater is from Brandy Melville. I got it at a thrift store in Palm Desert a few years ago and it's been a staple in my wardrobe ever since. I try to avoid wearing pants at all cost, so with the sweater I paired my black pencil skirt and black thigh high stockings. Although these stockings almost immediately got a run in them, I still love them and plan to wear them until they fall apart. (Gives them a little more "life", don't you think?) To complete the look I wore my Jeffrey Campbell Lita's. Comfiest. Heels. Ever.
School became a bit stressful, as I was really sick last week and couldn't make it everyday. Luckily, though, everything is back on track and I'm back to my regular schedule. These next few weekends I'll be in Palm Springs- hopefully I'll find some time to shoot out there as it is so beautiful and basically my home away from home. 
Stay warm!

HOUNDSTOOTH













This past month back in LA has been hectic to say the least. With classes starting, my first Stay Dripped, and new career opportunities, I haven't had too much downtime. Regardless of my schedule, I'm having a blast being back and I was finally able to get out and shoot with my girl, Lee (velvetcloouds).
The top I'm wearing is a part of UNIF's Bad Sport Two Piece set. I'm absolutely in love with the top- it fits like a glove and I've always been in love with houndstooth pattern. Unfortunately I can't say the same about the skirt- its drop waist looks super weird on me, so I think I'm going to have to sell it. More information about that will probably be posted up on my Instagram soon so check back! I got the skirt I'm wearing at the UNIF Pop Up Shop last December. I love it because it's a comfy twist on the usual circle skirt and goes with just about anything. (Can you guys tell I have a thing for UNIF...? I can't help myself.) As for my shoes, I haven't been able to take off my white QOZMOS since I got to LA, I'm so obsessed with them. Have you guys seen the Black Glitter Qozmo's...? I need them in my wardrobe. 

My septum ring is from Vida Kush. They have a ton of beautiful jewelry that you can check out on their site, or at the Melrose Trading Post every Sunday on Fairfax. My bracelet is from Jemulet, a jewelry company in New York with their products being made in Italy. I seriously don't leave the house without it on. It goes with every outfit I wear, and they are even cuter when you layer them. Even with wearing it everyday, the fabric and sterling silver is still as strong and pretty as it was the first day I got it. They come in a multitude of colors with a wide variety of charms as well. I was lucky enough to have Jemulet ask me to collaborate with them, so as a gift to you guys, when you order one put in the code "kristen" at checkout and you'll get 20% off your order AND free shipping! 
Hope you guys had a fun Halloween! Now it's time for the fall and winter wardrobe to make an appearance!... Y'know, Los Angeles fall and winter.... aka my usual wardrobe with thigh high socks and big comfy sweaters. Bring on the hot chocolate.
