Fashionably Featured

I'd like to inform everyone that 4monthsatsea's Long Hair Don't Care Tanks have been featured in an outfit post by Stacey Belko on her fantastic blog devorelebeaumonstre!!!! I personally am an avid reader of her blog and really enjoy her everyday accessible, do-it-yourself, grungey sort of style. She is definitely just a real, regular person with great taste showcasing looks everyone can recreate and/or be inspired by. I am also super envious of her LOOOONG hair (clearly a perfect candidate for a Long Hair Don't Care Tank)!
If you haven't gotten your tank yet click the link on the right side of the screen! It will take you to the online shop. Sizes are limited so HURRY!!!!!!

winter musings

with this terribly stormy weather the past few days i've been nesting on my ikea futon for more hours than is probably good. however sad that might seem, there have been a few fun developments:

Weardrobe 100 i think that everyone should visit this fun site. it is 100 people with great wardrobes. lots of bloggers, models, photographers and students. i hope to be as fabulous as them someday (soon).

i started a tumblr for my more ADD, everyday (or multiple times a day), undeveloped thoughts. a link can be found to the left (next to all the cool things i think you should check out that i'm checking out).

i booked my trip to visit Portland! i'm going thursday Feb 11th in the evening and returning monday Feb 15th. i won't be in town for Valentine's day but that shouldn't really be a problem i hope. i never liked the (fake) holiday and don't think i really want to be a part of it now. although the economy is pretty shitty, so lovers, GO BUY STUFF!

black winter

lately i've been reading a lot of fashion blogs (my faves are linked to the left) and i find it all so inspiring that i thought i'd blog about my current fashion obsessions/aspirations/thoughts. having just painted my nails a navy blue, right now i'm feeling the winter vibe and wanting to wear dark colors. i'm in a dark, gunmetal, heavy knits, and loose-fitting tunics kind of phase. i just want to buy up every pair of black skinny pants i can find and black t-shirt tunics to match. this is hard for me because previously i really wasn't a fan of buying a lot of black clothing so in turn i don't have much. i wish stores were like movie rentals where you could just get things you wanted and then gave them back. instead of going out and buying a whole new black, super studded wardrobe i've been doing what i can to incorporate my newfound love for darkness into my look. dirty, gold pyramidal studded earrings to replace my little diamonds, dark shades of nail polish (of which i've always been a fan), loads of eyeliner and mascara, a new charcoal peacoat, an old, large sweater from my mom's drawer, and black leggings have all been my best friends these past few weeks. perhaps once i get home for winter i will thrift to find some cheap pieces.

all together now (repeat)

my mind is racing with words, sentences, phrases, everything , just like a blog. so what must i do? i must blog of course! this will be my final post before i have a fabulous weekend of a day in the city with my mom and treasure island with sarah and kevin. i will of course post about that and want to leave it up forever in hopes that it will immortalize all the good times!

Thing #1: i was talking to my little sophomore friend Ryry (he goes to Jesuit High School) about homecoming and we were discussing how and why i thought prom was not the best dance of them all, even though it is always the one people make the hugest deal. this got me thinking about how kids in high school supposedly have these beginner relationships in order to prepare them for more adult relationships when they get older. let's face it, high school relationships are totally bizarre. most of the time they consist of a boy being attracted to a girl and vice versa, and then said boy asks out said girl. they hold hands, awkwardly PDA a lot, go to date dances, and see some movies. although i did not exactly have any technical relationships in high school i did observe them and learn a lot. i learned that the average high school relationship is all a huge scam, usually for some sort of status and that most people cheat on their bf/gf. if someone tells you they are in love with their high school beau, chances are they are lying or ignorant. how these high school relationships prepare anyone for meaningful, adult relationships in the future, i have no idea. (i apologize if you have had a good, meaningful high school relationship. that just means you aren't a statistic.)

Thing #2: here is a popular saying you might know "when you assume you make and ASS out of U and ME". i know it is bad to assume, because that is giving into stereotypes and profiling people and things. but i have to say, in my experience most stereotypes and assumptions are true. after all, that is where they come from. i'm here to tell you that sometimes it is ok to assume and draw your own conclusions. i'm going to even go so far as to say it is good. example: i wear a star of david necklace given to me by my grandma. now i can already predict the thought going through your mind. you're jewish? why yes jimmy, i am. most of the time when people see the star and ask me that i snap at them " no i just wear this because i like to get made fun of". no. i actually am jewish and i think that it is a safe assumption that a person wearing a star of david around their neck is jewish. and if the person isn't but you make that assumption, said person should not get mad because that is a logical assumption. the person instead should stop wearing the necklace if they feel so offended to be constantly mistaken as a jew.

Thing #3: i've been reading a lot of fashion blogs which is fun because it inspires me to experiment with all of my clothes for the winter to dress fabulously. also, they always have the best pictures of themselves. yea i am a narcissist and like to take numerous self portraits so it gives me tips and new ideas on how to do it in in more interesting ways. i'll leave you with one.
