masquerade

My friend invited me to a masquerade party.

I jumped at the chance of making a mask.

Gotta try my hand at being crafty sometimes...

I have been inspired by this picture for awhile.

So I created a mask like it.

"Ugh, I'm so white"

We've all heard it.

"Ugh, I'm so white!  I need to go tanning."

I'll admit it.

I used to be one of those girls.

I felt pressured to feel like I needed to be tan.

But the following is how my skin reacts to high amounts of sun or UV rays:

-I get hives that itch and are highly uncomfortable

-I get a blotchy uneven sunburn as apposed to a glowing tan

-Many times I've had sunburns that kill, I mean kill

-After my sunburn fades, there is only freckles that replace it

Also, I just frankly didn't like tanning beds.  I felt like I was being baked in an oven.  And you stink after.  Ugh.

So I came to the conclusion like 2 years ago that white skin was ok for me.  I hate to admit it, but there was one book that highly contributed to this new embracing in my life: Twilight.  If vampires rocked it, why couldn't I?  I like fair skin.  I like not seeking constantly after the next tanning bed.  I think fair skin is pretty.  I think it's elegant.

Here's some pictures of gorgeous girls I found with very fair, white skin.

Rose from Titanic

My and my sister watched Titanic last night

I couldn't get over this women's white glow

I would love if I had gorgeous red hair like her

This is the lady I nannied for 2 summers ago

She attempted acting most of her life

First time I met her I said: "Wow, you're gorgeous"

She was obsessed with keeping her skin white

She would keep sun screen with her at all times

Oh how I love Zooey

Her white skin fits her

Don't know who this girl is but she's gorgeous

Despite the fact that I'm not a huge fan of her acting

And I can't understand how she'd cheat on her husband Ryan Renalds

I do think she rocks the white elegant look

Marie Antoinette

Here are some pictures from the shoot a couple of weeks ago.

I talked about it here.

It was so much fun to dress up like Marie Antoinette

with my girl Chhhheeeeewwwwseeee :)

Marie Antoinette Inspiration

Shut up is this not gorgeous and so cool?

LET THEM EAT CAKE!!

Too bad she got beheaded by her own people....

And here are 4:

There's more I'm waiting for.

I'm really looking for the ones I did with Chels and cupcakes:)

Here's the whole team...

Can you believe Megan Moore sewed and thrifted all the girls looks?  She is awesome.

It's getting cold...

It's getting cold,

and that means I can pull out my favorite types of clothes.

I've never been a fan of summer clothes.

I'm much more comfortable and at home when I'm wrapped in a GIANT SWEATER.

And sporting some boots.

I like scarves.

I like gloves.

I like jackets.

I like layers.

I like fall colors.

But I don't like hot coco.

Weird, right?

The cold times are coming near!

And the best news is I'm not in college anymore,

and I don't have to walk in cold all day to get to class.

I'm in my nice warm school all day.

And I get to wear the clothes I love.

YAY:)

Here's some awesome finds/ideas I have for this Fall/Winter:

Does this not look like pure ecstasy?  I want to snuggle around in this in my house all day.  And do nothing else.

This color is amazing.  I NEED it on my nails.

High waisted skirt.  I need this for work and church.  I just want this whole outfit really.

Ahhh.... How I would love to get warm in this amazing P coat.  Mustard, I love you on my hot dogs.  But also on my clothes.

Everything about this is amazing.  Boots, check.  Gold watch, check.  I love that purse and sweater/shirt too.

The color scheme on this ensemble is so fall.  I wuv it.  I need that scarf and I would kill for that jacket.

Dear Fabric God, I would love to find this exact fabric.  I could so make this purse.  I love carpet bags.

Ok it might seem weird, but I have been obsessed with the bun lately.  Maybe it's because I'm a teacher, hmm.  But I especially am digging the giant messy bun on top of your head look.  I wish my hair would grow faster.
