Early Fall Looks

September 15, 2016

hey all!
i classify now as early fall? don’t you!
so since tody is a  thursday, today is my fashion day! so i wanted to show  you guys some fall looks that i put together!
so here we go!
#1
Screen Shot 2016-09-02 at 2.54.49 PM

top / jeans / shoes / purse / blue phone case / marble phone case / clear phone case / apple watch / bobble hair tie / sunglasses

this is one of my favorite looks! and its one of the more colorful looks i have put forth in this post. i love the shirt and it can be nice for fall because of the long sleeves. this look can alternatively be paired with anything silver colored rather than gold (as shown in this look i put together).

top / skirt / shoes / palette / sunglasses / earrings / purse 

a more neutral look, the white skirt is probably not great for “after labor day” but personally, i love how the white skirt looks with the stark black shirt, but you could also do with an olive skirt or a brown skirt.

top / skirt / shoes / apple watch / earrings / purse / sunglasses

for fall i love the olive green color. i think it works as an “extra” neutral because of its dark color. and i mentioned before, i just love the neutrals for fall! and these shoes are so cute because of their lace up thing, and they come in so many cute colors!

top / skirt / bag / shoes / sunglasses / palette / bracelet / watch

i absolutely love this look because of the grid-print skirt. i think that it is a really classic print, even though this look is on the grungier side of the looks that i put forward today, but fall truly is one of the grungier seasons!

dress / shoes / bag / sunglasses / earrings / bracelets / phone case / nail polish

casual dresses are always my favorite! you can wear them anywhere! you can wear them: out to lunch, out to brunch, out to dinner, out shopping, to see a movie, to see a show really any reason can be a reason to wear a casual dress! so i LOVE this topshop dress, its a great color, that grey and the style is perfect!
#6
Screen Shot 2016-09-05 at 4.10.57 PM

dress / bag / shoes / sunglasses / palette / camera / bracelet

off the shoulder clothing really is my favorite kind of clothing. and this baby pink color is so SWOON, i really do enjoy it. also i know that the sandals are not really fall-like, but for california, all the time is sandal time!
so i seem to be on a neutral colored aesthetic for all of these styles. so! i hope that you enjoyed my little post!

Eye Exams

May 25, 2015

Hey guys!

I wanna share a more personal story with you guys today. So last week, I got my eyes checked by an optometrist. I was never really having problems with vision until I was reading Jane Eyre in my English class. I was reading a lot slower than usual, and also my eyes felt very sore when and after I read. In the past, I have never had any eye problems, infact, I always had 20/20 vision. And I still have 20/20 vision, but I have an eye disorder called Convergence Insufficiency.

Convergence Insufficiency is a disorder where you have 20/20 vision, but you have a problem of how your muscles in your eyes read a page. The problem with Convergence Insufficiency is that you can score a perfect 20/20 on a vision chart in school, or at your doctors office, but never notice this. Since this is a tougher thing to detect, most children who have this, people think they have learning disabilities, but that’s not at all the case. I am saying, if you feel like a your eyes are sore after reading, or you get headaches after reading or you are seeing double, don’t just go to a doctor, visit an optometrist or an ophthalmologist to see if anything else is going on!

Okay, that’s the end of my rant, and my special edition article!

oh and by the way, I got ray bans, the picture of me is what I choose. These are the ones I got. 

and yeah, and happy memorial day!

xoxo

Preppy Disneyland Essentials

April 17, 2015

hey guys! I am visiting Disneyland on April 18th! I am so excited! I wanted to share with you guys some of my essentials for visiting Disney! Here are my essentials:

1. A Comfy Outfit and Shoes: As you can see in my photo above, I picked a plain T-shirt and comfy shorts. I love the pattern shorts, and just plain shorts that look like pajamas! This comfortable outfit will keep you nice comfy in the terrible lines in the rides too! This will also keep you cool because its 90 degrees in California right now.

2. Park Ears: Park Ears make you feel more into going on rides and feeling very disney! My hair always needs a headband to wear too, so this is nice because they are very festive.

3. A Big/Backpack/Purse: For me at least, a big purse makes things easier to carry with you. I am bringing my Longchamp bag because it is cuter than a backpack, but it is still a really good size for carrying everything that you need!

4. A Camera Phone/Camera: Well most phones now have cameras anyway, but the IPhone camera is not too good. I am bringing my Canon EOS M Mirrorless Digital Camera because it is pretty small, and it takes really good pictures.

5. Sunglasses: Now as I have said before, it has been 90 degrees in California recently, and its very sunny. To block the sun, because you really need to, you should bring sunglasses! I know this a “No-Duh!” thing to bring, but you’d be surprised how many times I have forgotten my sunglasses.

okay guys! thanks for reading this article. comment if you have any essentials that you would like to suggest. a little addition, I will be posting my disneyland photos on the 21st, and a different article scheduled to post on the 19th because I will be busy finishing up weekend stuff!

! xoxo (aka kate winss!)
