Goodbye Fall

Winter has come for fall to go. I am very sad by this news because fall is one of my favorite seasons. I enjoy the fact that I can dress so comfortable. As with summer and winter i have to either wear a tank tops or bundle up all the way but summer is my other favorite season. Winter wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so cold! I'm from a tropical island so the winter is going to the extreme for me lol but i'm learning to cope :) Well anyways...before fall has come to an end I am enjoying the last minutes I have to dress in big comfy sweaters, jeans, and moccasins. Here is one of my favorite fall outfit I've worn. These pictures were taken during photography class by one of my classmates :) Photo 1 photogapher Sila.



 For all 3 pics, I got the "oversized" knit sweater form Old Navy, Brown scarf (also knitted) is also from Old Navy, Leggings from this store (can't remember the name).
 I got this ring from a seller on ebay! Price= $11
These military boots I ordered on a website from Europe (I will post the link soon!)

The background is my beautiful school campus (CRLS)
BYE FALL!
See you next year! Peace :')

Random share: Scavenger Hunt

My friend and I are in this program together outside of school and we had to do a scavenger hunt. It was one chilly Sunday and we were running around Downtown Boston trying to find the things that were on our sheet so we could complete the hunt. We had to complete 25 things! We threw away the sheet after the hunt but a couple of things on it that we had to do was take a picture of a out of state license plate, a picture of a bald headed person, a picture with a stranger, a picture with someone putting our thumbs up, a picture of an interesting outfit, etc. Over all it was crazy and fun and I also met new people doing it all :)
I hate the quality of the pictures but at least you can see them. Lol.
 This little boy was so scared to take a pic with a stranger but he did it! haha. His friends were scared also but found the whole situation entertaining.
 In this one, I had to pose with a stranger putting our thumbs up. He was a trooper :)
This pic is of a lady dressed from the Colonial era. It's part of this thing they did in Downtown Boston that Sunday I did the scavenger hunt.

1st photography pic shared


This is one example of my picture "skills". I took this pic outside the little kids park across my school. I thought the red berries would make it look interesting. Those leaves were in front of the gate of the playground and there were a lot of them but I focused the camera around a small group of them and it came out like that. My photography teachers liked it a lot at first I wasn't sure why but thinking about it I think it has great depth (It can isolate a subject from its background and foreground when using a shallow depth of field or it can put the same subject in context by revealing it’s surrounds with a larger depth of field) and focus. I will go back and try to edit it to make the background a little darker, that's one reason I sort of don't like it. The little light in the background bothers me a little that's all. I also feel like it's not that interesting, like it's just berries. lol. But for a new photographer it's really good.

Lights, Cameras. Fashion!

This is another one of my favorite outfit that I put together :) It was my first experimental outfit. I knew I didn't like the way I dressed before but i didn't know what to do about it so I read a lot of articles and looked at many website to help me find out what my personal style was. After a lot of reading and digging information, I finally decided that I like 90s clothing/vintage. At first I was thinking well how will I be able to wear "old" clothes now when people are wearing "new" clothes for example skinny jeans came out or crop top shirts. But I figure I could mix old and new clothes together to make my style fresh and unique. My friend took this pic of me during Photo class.
So yeaa, the striped cardigan is from Forever21, zebra shirt from Sears, belt from a thrift store, the skirt was also from forever21, the tribal necklace was a gift :) lastly, the nail polish is by unforgettable moments
P.s the camera belongs to my school. I wish I had one though :)

Dope Boy Anthhony

Meet Anthony Vasquez from facebook. I stumbled on him after I liked a page by one oh his friends. The thing that caught my eye with Anthony was his Swagg. Yea he was really cute with the straight white teeth and dimples but he looked really handsome to me because of the way he dressed. He doesn't dress like what I call "traditional" (sweatpants, hoodie, cargos etc.) which I find 'boring', he mixes it up!

Another lingering trend

Another trend I've seen around but a lot at my school is people wearing knee high socks. That was also a trend last year but it came back again this year, which I was kinda shocked about because usually in fashion not too many things come back in style. I think it's a cute style and it keeps you're legs warm! Nowadays the weather in Cambridge have been changing and it's weird. One day it will be really hot in fall or snow in October soo it's good thing to stay warm but at the same time look fashionable :)
So people wear knee high socks many different ways. My favorite way to wear them is over skinny jeans tucked military boots. There's a girl in my class who always wear hers like that and I got the inspiration from her, not gunna lie. Anyway, here are some other examples on how to wear them.

School Fashion; Backpacks






We're already 2 months into school but I have seen a lot of people with these bags and I thought I HAVE to blog these cool bags so people could see! Although they may be cute and fashionable, they are expansive for example to find one of these bags at Urban Outfitters is really popular but they are kind of expansive. For example, the dark green backpack in Urban is $69. They are Ecote bags, which i love! They are like chic military bags for girls. It's also cool i found out a pics of bags that looked like this from the 90s. I feel like a lot of 90s styles are coming back which I think is cool and fun. Since I don't have one of those bags, I'm not sure if there the best bags for school but they good and sturdy. I love the  Ecote brand! Check out their products, start by going out and buying one of those backpacks before the winter comes!

This is the vintage bag!

1990s Vintage Pigskin Leather Tan Rucksack Backpack

Since this bag is vintage and rare to find, it tends to be expensive. It's $150 on Ebay. If you're interested in buying it, go on this website ------> http://www.ebay.com/itm/1990s-Vintage-Pigskin-Leather-Tan-Rucksack-Backpack-/190575843784#ht_4706wt_932
One thing i find really interesting about this bag is that it's made out of pig skin...I love animals so I find this gross. I've never really heard of anything made out of pig skin so the idea repel me; crocodile skin is the more popular leather I've heard of and know a lot of people use but pig skin leather?...that was a new thing for me. But I think using any animal skin to make products is too much..well anyway here's a 
Description for the bag by seller: This item: A sweet vintage pigskin leather large rucksack backpack. This was manufactured in China, in the early 1990s. It is made of unlined pigskin leather, it is light-tan in color, the leather is good quality. Everything looks great! There is one central compartment in the bag, with a drawstring closure. There are also three small frontal compartments. The hardware is gold-tone. The full dimensions of the backpack measure approximately 16'' x 13'' x 6''.

Rings gone wild

I love these rings, I think their super cute and cool! I haven't seen anybody from Cambridge wear those yet or even think they know about those! But their so vintage and interesting I want some! I especially like the rings in the second picture, which i made larger so you guys could get a closer look at how cool those rings really look. Their different from any rings i've seen and anything that has to do with being different is the ultimate cool for me. Who wants to have the same things as other people? (that gets frustrating).

Fashion (Background info)


F A S H I O N
For me, it starts with who you are. I'm in high school and i have trouble figuring out exactly how I want my style to be but adults and other fashionable people tell me not to be worried about it because I'm "young". They think I will eventually figure out my style by the time I'm an adult. I think it's true. Maybe everything I wear now and all the clothes I try to mix and match together will eventually help me figure out my style soon. At first looking at different fashion websites like seventeen magazine, i thought I had figured out my personal style but..I don't think I have :/ My other problem is that I will feel great about something I'm wearing and be happy about the pieces I use to put the outfit together but then when I see someone else wearing cool outfits, i wish I were wearing their clothes. So then I think of ways I could accomplish in making a "cool" and interesting outfit like that persons. But I think I just have to embrace that everybody dresses different and that I may dress differently then them and that shouldn't be a bad thing to the point that I want to wear the same clothes as them. I think I should be including myself as someone with a different style just like that person embraces their own style. Embracing my own "swagg" is this one thing i have to accomplish. And people also need to come to the conclusion that people dress differently and they shouldn't have to judge someone's style, it's who they are. Deal with it.
