Southern California's breeding mommy's little monster

In two days I will be 18. My mother has been bugging me about what I want for my big birthday but I'm honestly not sure. However, I'm pretty excited to be able to do 18-year-old things. Like vote, legally purchase things from the television, play the lottery. Actually, I might end up purchasing a package of cigarettes so I can give them to the homeless people downtown who are always asking for one. I think it'd be nice to make somebody feel a little bit better. I've always believed that people in a situation like that deserve whatever the hell they want to momentarily escape reality. 

Anyway, I've been feeling pretty sleepy about this season, if that makes any sense. Everything has been pretty relaxed and tired. Time has been moving sluggishly, but too quick for recognition. It's strange, really. But here's an outfit for this week. I've been rather obsessed with socks and tights lately. 

 

cardigan- forever 21, shirt- hot topic, shorts- department store, socks- target

 

pins- vintage store, art supply store

shoes- diy

Gosh I guess my writing is also a bit on the sleepy side too. I proofread this post and I sincerely hope I didn't bore you to death.

Interview with Bella from Plastic Barrettes

I had the pleasure of interviewing the young, fresh, and super lovely Bella from the fashion blog, Plastic Barrettes. Below are the results!

What's your name?

My name is Bella

What inspired you to start blogging about fashion?

Well, I picked up a Teen Vogue in 2009, and I saw an interview with Tavi. A few days later, after tons of procrastinating I started my own fashion blog. Then I deleted it. Then I started another one. Then I deleted that one. Now, I have Prom Queen and Plastic Barrettes

Who's fashion blog has influenced your style the most?.

Tavi's blog Style Rookie and my friend Samantha's blog Fazed-Girl.

Who's your favorite designer?

I love Laura and Kate Mulleavy from Rodarte, Marc Jacobs, and Karl Lagerfeld.

How old are you again?

I'm thirteen!

What is one piece of clothing (or accessory) that you could never live without?

I don't think I could live without my Edward Scissorhands t-shirt, my pair of frilly socks, or my white clogs.

How did you become interested in feminism and how has it affected you?

I read the book Girl Power by Marisa Meltzer, but I had been a feminist before that. I think that it's made me read into things more.

On a lighter note, what's your favorite band?

I love The Killers, Purity Ring, Sleigh Bells, Bikini Kill, Huggy Bear, Hole, and Nirvana.

Thank you!

You're very welcome!

My props to a fellow feminist and Sleigh Bells lover! Anyway, if you haven't gotten the chance to do so, click here and go check out her blog.

Get a job, hippie slackers

Floral dresses and socks with platforms. Totally not stereotypical fashion blog garb. But the pinky flowers all over the dress is so cute, I don't even care. And dem shoes. I don't think you understand how hard I fought to get those.

floral dress I got at TJ Maxx, Pierre Hardy x Gap 3 strap platforms, white socks, rock necklace I made, quarter machine necklace

Basically a rock tied on to a leather cord.

Ignore that time stamp, too.

Pretty summer vibes, no?

Teenagers from Mars! And we don't care.

Ahhh. Finally a post that lives up to my name.

This time around, I decided to use my title as inspiration for an outfit. To me, that meant the awkwardness of being a teenager, mismatching patterns and colors, and a touch of 90s flair. Also, more awkwardness.

thrifted shirt, hand-me-down shorts, Target cardigan, quarter machine necklace

Pretty proud of my necklace purchase. It was only fifty cents.

Anyway, I'm convinced I hit it big time at my local good will. This shirt looks at least 15 years old and it's in great shape. Originally, it had shoulder pads, but I cut them off. They looked a bit wonky. And all of this for only two bucks. Greatest. Thing. Ever. I'm also pretty pleased to say that my glasses actually matched an outfit for once. Those poor glasses have been put through so much. I've had to super glue them back together 4 times now. Today was their day to shine! Ha.

Love always,

Hazel

With just a touch from my burning hand, I'm going to give my life to destroy your world.

Second post for the day waaaahhh.

Just thought I should post the outfit that's featured in my little profile picture on the left hand side. I posted it on Chictopia ages ago, but I think it would fit in nicely on my blog.

Alice Temperley x Target dress, random dress socks, random shoes I found under my bed

Remember when Target brought back 5 years of designer collaboration dresses? I was fortunate enough to snag this little Alice Temperley for only forty bucks! Super cute, amiright? This outfit's a bit darker than the usual, but I'm really pleased with it. Kind of goes along with this little horror movie obsession I'm feeling this summer.

So there you have it. The origins of my profile picture.

Enjoy!

Why can't you see you torture me?

If you know me, you know I can't live without some Lost Boys. Everything from the classic 80s hair to the bad-boy vampire gang. And the really bad special effects. Oh boy.

This really isn't something I should really be watching and eating ice cream with. I've been trying to get a bit healthier this summer and all of these great 80s flicks are really starting to get in the way of that... And that marathon of Lost... And that other marathon of Naruto....

Oops.

Allow me to point out their wonderful hair.

Oh Kiefer...

I know, I know. Beautiful, right?

Enjoy!
