Not sure why I’m so obsessed with this idea right now, but I truly am. I have a major hankering for getting some ornate vintage frames from GoodWill and just spray-painting them some obnoxious color. Then I’ll use them to house my prints (I recently got four new ones, and I’d really like to get them on display).

These aren’t my pictures, but this is what I’m going for:

{Cheeky and a bit irreverent, aren’t they?}

Obsessed.

Conversely, if you have pictures that have got some punchy colors, try this:

(I apologize for the size of the photo, but I blame the internet.)

In other news, my massive raging girl crush on Erin Wasson will never end.

Listen Now: “Trojans” by Atlas Genius. It’s honestly all I’ve been listening to for the past two days.

A couple days ago I posted a couple ideas for holiday dresses, and now I’ll show you what you should do with things above your neck.

As you can see above, I’ve decided that everyone should stick with either sparkles or a smokey eye.

So there ya go.

My mother recently sent me an article about something I had never heard of before- MEGGINGS.

If you, like me, had no idea what they are, count yourself lucky. But also brace yourself as I am about to educate you.

The word “meggings” originates from men + leggings. Essentially leggings for men. This is truly fantastic because I was assuming the jeggings thing would never go away, but this trend might just scare all jeggings-wearers into seeing how they truly look. Even the name is gross! It sounds like a mixture of “moist” and “leggings”. And that’s just something you really don’t want to wear.

Here is some photographic evidence of this atrocity:

{Go for sequins if you’re a really daring chipmunk.}

{Pair with Chucks for a casual-cool weekend outfit.}

 {Ladylike lavendar or black sequin meggings….which I have to admit, this guy is pulling off quite well.}

  {Celebrities such as Russel Brand, Lenny Kravitz, and the Biebs have already jumped on board.}

{Plus the trend has also been all over the runways. I quite like these.}

 All right, so if you have enough swagger, a perfect body, and the best outfit….yes, maybe you can pull it off. I would like to point out that that only has about a 0.0000000000000002% chance of happening. So, yeah.

I got an email yesterday that Rag & Bone has a new jacket. I immediately freaked out and imagined about 292375498539 ways to wear it. This is one of them:

Jacket with black leggings if you’re normal, or velvet ones if you’re going for more of a wow factor. I really like the idea of mixing leather and velvet, it seems like a strong textural choice.

Finish off the look with kitty loafers! (GoJane has a less expensive version)

The pieces are:

Bailey Jacket, $655 at Rag & Bone

HUE Ponte Leggings, $40 at hue.com

HUE Velvet Leggings, $36 at hue.com

Charlotte Olympia Kitty Loagers, $660

Honestly, when science comes up with cloning, I want to be this. Just all the time.

Or possibly a French girl with an overactive metabolism. Oh, the dreams.

Tonight, I have made history.

No, I didn’t cure cancer or pole-vault over the Mississippi. But I did come up with the most excellent pizza recipe EVER.

Start with a pizza crust. If you’re gluten-free like me, I highly recommend the Chebe brand of pizza mix. It’s mixed with the cheese of your choice so it really tastes like it’s a dairy-filled party in your mouth, which is important when it comes to Italian food. Roll it into a square-ish shape.

Bake the crust for about 8 minutes, until it’s not completely gooey any more. Then add, in this order:

1) A thin layer of basil pesto

2) A thin layer of tomato-basil pasta sauce

3) A smattering of spinach leaves

4) chopped-up chicken bits

5) chopped-up salami

Then bake the pizza for another 10 minutes, or until the crust is fully cooked and the toppings are hot.

Next, add:

6) A couple sun-dried tomatoes

7) A big layer of parmesan crumbles

8) A bunch of freshly-chopped tomatoes

Yes, I realize that there are two kinds of sauce, two kinds of meat, and three kinds of tomatoes on this thing…but hey, I’m a college student and this is how I clean out my fridge.

Note: this is not the pizza I made. This is someone else’s. Mine is way better.

Seriously though, I made it for my roommate and she asked me to marry her.

I have no idea why I am so obsessed with weddings, but I am. It’s an almost-unhealthy addiction.

But, of course, it’s not just your average poofy-white-dress-and-roses dream, it’s a succulents-bouquet-and-braided-hair extravaganza…yeah, it’s a bit hipster.

Here’s what I’m planning:

Obviously there’s mainly one wedding I’m using as a template. But what can I say, those Canadian hipsters do it right.

Some people just seem to have that effortless ability to look fantastic at all times.

It’s completely unfair.

But more than that, it’s also worthy of attempted reproduction! Take, for instance, hair styles:

Blonde dye? Check. Half-shaved head? Check. It’s just unbelievable.

Pixie cut + clean face + sweet vintage sweater = perfection

If my sleep hair looked this good, I would never get out of bed.

My viewpoint on these things is “Fake it til you make it.”

Honestly if you think it looks good, just steal that idea and make it even better. That’s the only way these things get popular anyway!

Oh, and if you’re a guy, this is what you need to be rocking:

And also please have bone structure like that, please. Like really, please. PLEASE.

Ahem. Oh, and also, if you were wondering what to do about your facial hair…

You’re welcome.
