Printed Pants, New York, and all Things Delightful

So over the last month, I have not been on the blog due to drowning in life events. This is what you may or may not have missed.

• I Turned 16!!! No permit yet... 
• For said 16th birthday, I went to New York, and got a dress, a new bag, a houndstooth beanie, and some white eyeshadow. 
• My picture on my instagram is terrible, so these are the temporary website pics. I will post me in everything when I can pair the things I got well.

Beware... a feeling of "rich bitchiness" will come with this... this is the first time i ever bought a bag like this... ever.

                                                   Joggers are the best thing in the world...

• I learned the struggle of Sephora... It's real.
• I went on a HUMONGOUS shopping spree in PA.
• I forget what I got, because I got a A LOT of clothes.,, I know I got a Marilyn Monroe tee, a camo blazer, a pair of orange and black knee highs, a pair of converse, a pair of tribal joggers, and a LOT more.

• I scared the heck out of everybody on halloween

I was a broken doll. I did the makeup and my mom did the hair. *DRESS AND HEELS SPRING 2014 FROM TARGET*
**DISCLAIMER: DONT USE EYELINER ON YOUR BODY! IT DOES NOT COME OFF


So now, we go into my absolute favorite season of the year in terms of fashion... AUTUMN/WINTER!! This season is the best because of the fun ways to layer, and convention just falling apart right before our very eyes. People usually like to play with colors, or prints... or patterns in a way called power clashing. This is a fine art that requires a sharp eye towards size of the detail, and size of the garment itself. I have a houndstooth peacoat in BW that I wear with the dress above, or the Prabal Gurung "First Date" dress because of the BW/Color theme.

CONTEST TIME Y'ALL

Here is the contest to decide the next logo for the blog! As we all know, summer is going out with a bang, which means Autumn is making a comeback. Help me decide the next logo. I will have a number with each one, write the number of the logo you like the best in the comments, and I will make that the next logo!

Joan Rivers

I know this is a little bit late, but I need to bring this topic up. Joan Rivers (1933-2014) made a big impact on my life, indirectly. I used to be very carefree about the fashion choices that I made in my early years. Now, I keep on top of the latest trends, and keep myself very forward. To me, Joan was somebody that I loved to watch every Friday on Fashion Police. I was amazed at the fact that she had the guts to say what other people didn't want to say. I also loved the fact that she had the drive, right up to the end. Unfortunately, I wasn't one of the people that got to watch Joan with Johnny Carson, and the early days; but she still amazed me. I was able to let somebody into my life that I found genuinely funny, and I didn't want to see her go. I watched the downhill (and uphill) spiral from the day she went to Mt. Sinai. The day she died, I literally bawled my eyes out. I didn't know that somebody could have that big of an impact on me, and the world. Yes, people have their opinions about her, but I was able to see her as just another human, except she was funny as heck. She would have me roaring over the absurd comments over absurd things. I feel for those around the world. A dear family friend, and co-worker of my mother's got the opportunity to meet Joan. I feel horrible for the people like him who actually met her, and then hearing she passed.

Have fun fashion-policing the streets of heaven.

Typical Junior vs. Plus Size

The concept of  "plus size" clothing is completely horrifying me today. Don't get me wrong, I am a curvy girl that needs to wear these kinds of clothes, but the looks are horrific. Yes, there are curves on my body, yes I have a fuller frame, but don't put me in some cheap, unflattering clothes. Give me lines to play with, dresses to explore, and confidence to feel free in. According to Cosmopolitan, plus size doesn't start until size 8. (Pardon the language) but that is a bunch of bullshit. That could make girls even as low as size 6 think "if you want to be considered, you have to be a 4 or less." We are held to unrealistic standards today, and that NEEDS to change. We need to teach the next generation that curves are beautiful, and that you are worth it, no matter what size. We need to teach people that curves are okay, and that not all women are going to be twigs. Designers, just get rid of "plus size." We are all beautiful, and that term is derogatory.

What do you think about curves? do you like them? sound off in the comments section if you think its okay to have curves, or to be skinny.

Reviews...

I am sorry to say this, but I think I will have to stop doing the project runway reviews only because I keep missing about ten minutes of it, and it just gets to be a hassle to catch up. The designers in the competition are doing amazing so far, and I hope the judges can figure out who the true best designer is. I hope you guys understand where I am coming from. In case anyone missed last night, Sean won and Char went home.

Please feel free to email me at justateenagefashionista@outlook.com with any questions, comments, concerns, and advice for me to better this blog.

thank you

Sorry...

Sorry I couldn't get last week's project runway up... I started it, but I got in late, and I was just so confused. The challenge was awkward; It was confusing, and I didn't even know what to think... I honestly think Kini got robbed, and I am happy. Hernan went home. I guess fringe is what makes the judges go APESHIT (pardon the language) with happiness...

Nasty bugs (not the kind that fly)

So these past few days, I kinda had a bug (fever, headache, blah blah blah) and did not do ANYTHING! I was going to do a back to school post yesterday, but I just felt TERRIBLE.  I still feel kind of crappy... I am literally laying on my couch in my tie dye art club t shirt and tribal shorts.  I feel a bit better now, but I still feel slightly blergh. I recommend if you have a fever, DayQuil/NyQuil, +Mio Energy and Binge watching tv is a MIRACLE WORKER. so I'm sorry if I wasn't on... I will definitely be back for my weekly project runway review. I recommend Wahlburgers on A&E...
