There is much fault to be found in our stars

Today I wasn't inspired by a song title, but rather a quote from my favorite book, The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. If you haven't read it, I suggest you get your butt to Barnes & Noble, because it is phenomenal!
Great books aside, today was extremely tiring. I was at school until 6:30 because I had a yoga class, and I'm pretty much tired as... A really tired person? I suck at metaphors.
Moving on from bad metaphors, how've you all been since we've last spoke? I do apologize for my absence, I just got really busy and lazy over the weekend. Just try to imagine what I wore! I know it's not the same, but it's all I've got. To make you feel better, I have some beautiful selfies for you to gaze at today!

Attempting to be a cat

Meow!

In all my pictures I look slightly insane. I think it's because I sat on my glasses and they're now lopsided.

Derp

Que the Michael Jackson "hee hee!"

There you go, narwhals. In conclusion, I'm a goofball, I'm currently watching Baggage Battles, I'm a lazy bum and I like cats. Bing, bang, boom.

My favorite things Monday: Valentine's Day addition

  You either love it or you hate it. It either makes you want to sing ballads of love or puke. It either gives you hope or reminds you that you're still single.
  That's right. I'm talking about Valentine's Day. Although I've been single for every single Valentine's Day of my life, I still love the holiday. It just makes me feel all lovey-dovey and happy. It brings out the girly girl in me and inspires me to dress in my finest pink and heart printed duds. It inspires me to be happier, dress better and eat more chocolate!
   One of my favorite parts of Valentine's Day, as mentioned before, is getting dressed. I'm the kind of person who wears a reindeer sweater in December, green on Saint Patrick's day and pastels on Easter. I love any excuse to dress up, and I love inspiration.
   Another great thing about Valentine's day is all the love themed items and pictures people make.
   Which brings me to the topic at hand. My favorite thing Monday: Valentine's Day addition.

Tied with a bow belt in rose quartz, Modcloth

 This belt obviously doesn't scream Valentine's Day, but for that reason it's more versatile and can be worn year-round! I love bow belts more than I can explain, and this one is in a beautiful color.

Outright Amity Dress, Modcloth

 Wait for it...

Outright Amity Dress, Modcloth

 Ta-da! The best part about this dress is the back! Although I'm not sure how you'd wear a bra with this, it's very lovely to look at!

A-Line Mini Skirt, Forever 21

 This skirt is simple yet cute. It's in a really pretty color and it's a nice silhouette.

Floral Oxfords, Forever 21

 I love oxfords so much and these are a really pretty print. So Valentine-y!

UO Sweetheart Sunglasses, Urban Outfitters

 How can you celebrate V-Day without heart sunglasses! These come in a few different colors, and I like that they come in black so they're not too distracting or out there.

Lace Bodice Flippy Dress, Topshop

 I know I already have a dress like this in the post, but this one is also really pretty! The back is all lace which is a really cool idea, but, once again, what kind of bra do you wear?

Lovely Curio Shelf, Urban Outfitters

 This is such a pretty little shelf! I want to have this in my room so bad. It'll make you smile year round!

Red Heart Balloon Watercolor Painting Print, Etsy

Leave it to Etsy make me want to live in a painting. There are some incredibly talented people with their work for sale, so I suggest you all check it out and support unknown artists!

   Until we meet again,

Prom? Nordstrom? Blasphemy!

 Alright narwhals, I've got something near and dear to my heart that I must share with you. Nordstrom's junior department, BP is currently selling prom dresses! If you're wondering why I'm so buzzed about this, it's because I'm on the BP fashion board. What is the BP fashion board? What is the BP fashion? What is the BP? What is the? What is? What?
 BP fashion board is a board of high school age kids (mostly girls but there's one guy) who meet once a month at a certain BP location to talk about trends, fashion news and upcoming things in BP. I don't think all states have a board, but Oregon does, so yippee! A month or two ago we talked about prom at one of the meetings and what we'd think about BP selling prom dresses, and now they're selling them! It feels really cool to see that Nordstrom has been listening to our feedback and took it into consideration.
 I've looked at the dresses and they're all really beautiful! There are tons of styles online for every body type and every price point!
Of course, I didn't mention this just to give Nordstrom a shoutout. I also wanted to share some of my favorite dresses!

Trixxi Sequin&Tulle Party Dress, $78.00

I absolutely adore this dress. Everything about it works for me. The sequins, the tulle at the bottom, the color, the silhouette. Of all the dresses they have, I think this one is my favorite. I'd pair it with glittery gold pumps to match the top of the dress and a wavy side fishtail braid.

As U Wish Strapless Sequin Ombre Mermaid Gown, $118.00

This dress really stood out to me because I love the ombre effect with the sequins. It really looks like a mermaid's dress! It would look really good on a tall and slim girl with strappy silver heels and wavy long hair, like a mermaid. This would also look fantastic on a girl with teal tips on her hair!

Hailey by Adriana Papell Embellished Jersey Gown, $129.00

This dress is absolutely stunning. It's very sophisticated with a little sex appeal from the lace cutout and the leg slit. It would look gorgeous with a red pump, red lip, cat eye and a deep side part.

Jessica McClintock Strapless Lace & Tulle Dress, $115.00

I love how adorable this dress is. It's really playful and fun but the black lace gives it some sophistication. Really great for prom. This one would look great with black heels and a voluptuous top bun.

Pisarro Nights Beaded Illusion Cocktail Dress, $148.00

Of course I love this dress. Though it doesn't scream "prom", how could I pass up a 20's style flapper dress? Love it. It evokes thoughts of hazy speakeasies and chill jazz bars. This one would look great with t-strap heels, a faux bob (there are some great tutorials on youtube) and a cute headband. Avoid feathered headbands and feather boas so it doesn't look like you're wearing a costume.
