BANGER

Every look she wears could be a hit. Every video she makes could be viral. Every blog she write could catch your attention. But these aren't enough to be big. She struts her stuff every day and night to be seen beyond the screen of few. She yearns to reach the many. She tries to be unconventional, ordinary, whimsical, and charming. But the days continue to pass as she still goes unnoticed. She's been told she looks like Miley Cyrus but that doesn't get her anywhere. Take off the hat. Take of the heels. Take off the sunglasses. She's empty. She's your canvas. Everything she does can be big. You can be big. We are all just skin and bones, but it's our actions that make us human. Make your next move banging.

Chambray Fit and Flare Dress Review

Absolutely love this dress! It's so versatile! Literally you can wear it with anything.
I'm 5' 3" and I wear a size small. It is short so I'd advise wear shorts or briefs underneath. The best part about this dress is that it doesn't show cleavage but super feminine.

School buys - New Boots

Back to school is around the corner and for some of y'all it's in the next few weeks. There are what I've been looking at to add to my shoe collection for this new school year and fall essentially.

 I saw these displayed in Nordstrom and nearly bought it without thinking. It has the same style as the Troopa because it's still laced but it's half the height of the shaft of the boot and the cuff adds the perfect edge. If I do end up buying this, I would definitely choose the black since I already own brown boots. I own another pair of black booties from Forever 21. Have to say I'm not a huge fan of them. I've literally worn them like twice and they were both to Lady Gaga concerts. These would definitely replace them and get much better wear than those boots. BUT anyway! I would recommend buying them now during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale! I will probably wait on them, sad face cause I'm a broke college student. In the description is warns to order a size smaller cause I guess they run large so I would definitely try them on first.

 I love over the knee boots because I was inspired by Sailor Moon to own a pair. I currently own one over the knee boot (The American Rag ones) and adore them. I wore them throughout my San Francisco Trip and they kept me warm during the cooler weather of northern Cali. But I like these ones because they look almost thigh high and they don't flap over. I haven't tried them on yet, but if I ever get a chance to, I will let you know how they fit!

I've been unable to acquire my Human Aliens and Hellbounds, so I've been contemplating other pink shoes. I guess you can never have too many boots. These would definitely be a contender if they never come back in stock. Sad face.

Enjoy the weekend.

Brittniss x Coachella Day 3

http://lookbook.nu/look/4840337-Forever-21-Denim-Vest-Steve-Madden-Combat-Boots

 There was a major mix up in transferring hotels but we got back here none the less. I absolutely love this last look cause it literally looks like a campaign ad thanks to my photographically talented friend. As you can tell, I literally didn't care how I looked and just threw my hair up and I didn't wear make up since the first day (honestly I forgot to put it on the second day, but we can pretend I didn't want to wear it).

Look:

Dress - Styles for Less

Denim Vest - Forever 21

Combat Boots - Steve Madden

This was also my simplest outfit because it had the least amount of pieces, but I still love it just the same.

This mother effing snail literally ran people over. I didn't think it moved the first day but I heard from others that they got stuck underneath it or it was right in the middle of sets being a major distraction. It's definitely a beautiful piece of work, but just a pain in the ass when it's sitting in the middle of the set. It was funny because I tried my best to avoid it as much a possible.

Overall, Coachella was a fun, new experience. I didn't feel the need to see every band and it was worth it to just see the select bands I wanted to see. I didn't suffer from fatigue or heat exhaustion because by the last day, people were just chilling in the shade taking naps because they were so exhausted. Like this one girl was passed out while her friends were sitting next to her and her poor piercing looked infected from the sweat. My combat boots was a smart decision to wear. They were comfortable and protected me from the dirt when walking. Downside, they're super dusty now and debating on whether I should clean the laces. WEAR SUNSCREEN AND BRING HATS! I brought jackets for the first two nights and didn't wear one for second night because we left before the sun went down. I know what you're thinking HOW COULD WE HAVE LEFT? I had class the next day people at 9am, cut me some slack. Jk. It didn't matter anyway because we came late the whole weekend anyway. Wide brim hats are your best option because they cover your face and provide your body with a little bit of shade. They weren't kidding when they said to stay hydrated. Because I probably stayed max 4-5 hours per day, I consumed 2 bottles while there and that's not even accounting for the water I consumed prior and after. BUDDY SYSTEM! Just cause. I can't comment on the bathrooms because I was fortunate enough to only have to go when I was in the hotel room and when I did have to go we were already heading back anyway. If you plan to drink, camp or buy shuttle pass. If you're an all day goer, camp or get shuttle pass. It was totally worth the extra 50 bucks just so we didn't have to drive back and forth and when we were tired we didn't have to deal with the stress of driving back.

That was my weekend. Hope you other coachella-ers were safe and had a good time as well.

I'm graduating this quarter so I'm trying to finish off strong and majorly studying.

Happy studies.

Brittniss x Coachella Day 2

Woot woot! Day 2! So we figured we weren't going til later so we chilled at the hotel most of the day and went swimming. It was totally worth it to sit back and chill because I totally enjoyed the rest of the night more.

Brittniss x Shuttle Stop

Here's my second look since Lookbook banned it off the website. Which to me is total crap because it didn't put the words on there. Like it's an object that I'm talking a picture with and it's entirely artistic. But blah fine.

Look:

Tank - Victoria's Secret PINK

Shorts - Forever 21

Letterman's Jacket - Styles for Less

Combat Boots - Steve Madden

Must say this was my favorite night because I was super prepared and the bands I wanted to see were playing later and they all sounded AMAZING! I was in love with Postal Service and Two Door Cinema Club! I grew up listening to Postal Service and they were like my high school band. I probably listened to them every night to sleep in high school. I was planning to see Two Door sooner but school always interfered so it was great to finally see them live.

This photo was shot right before Two Door played. This was also an art piece where they just attached a bunch of balloon to strings and festival goers took turns passing it off to one another to take pictures with and move them around the festival. It was really cool because it was always moving and it looked great with all the lighting they had around the festival. Not much to talk about here because it was such a good day.

Brittniss x Coachella Day 1

Brittniss x Pincurls

This is how the weekend started. Wanting to look cute every day and I actually did my hair! woot! To eliminate using products on my hair and damaging it/lose color, I pin curled it as you can see in the pic above. It was super freakin hot. Weather said High: 84, it felt like hotter. Plus, because it was the first day lines were not moving and security was being very thorough. Unfortunately, I missed Metric. Sad face.

Brittniss x Yellow Path

Because we had a shuttle pass, we were told to follow the yellow path. Of course they played the "follow the yellow brick road" portion of the Wizard of Oz, and let me tell you, that shit will make you mental. Cause it's probably a 10-15 second playback of the same few lines that you can hear for a good 4-5 runs of it while walking the path. INSANITY. 

Brittniss x Outdoor Stage

We finally made it at around 5PM, so if you're traveling by shuttle, give at least an hour cushion between departure and the show time. Cause we thought we had a bunch of time and that clearly didn't work out for us.

http://lookbook.nu/look/4836873-Ross-Forever-21-Styles-Less-Steve-Madden-Zara

Here is my first look of the weekend and a random pic of this electricity plant they had in the middle of the festival. Okay the one major thing that sucks about the food truck is that you have to be 21+ and even if 21+ you had to get your ID checked because they are located in the beer gardens. So if you're looking to try truck food and you're underage, you're SOL.

Look:

Bustier - Forever 21

Skirt - Styles for Less

Leather Jacket - Zara

Combat Boot- Steve Madden

Hat - Ross?

Lipstick - MAC Riveting Rose + Wet n' Wild (who uses this shit anymore?)

It was totally worth not wearing jewelry or face make up because you sweat EVERYWHERE. 

I'd highly recommend bringing a jacket for night time. Backpacks are good for keeping your crap especially if you don't want to sit on the ground. You never know who might have puked there. Refilling your bottles is really unrealistic so don't plan on getting that shit filled. RECYCLE THE BOTTLES! Here I am preaching to do this but I didn't do it. It says you could collect 10 bottles in exchange for a new cold water and possibly other merch but I never tried to do that but I ended up seeing people with bags of bottles and cans so I'm pretty sure they made the exchange.

WARNING: Weed is everywhere. No joke. EVERYWHERE. You can't escape it. Maybe it was the date or something but seriously, I knew it would be around but not as much as I thought. Like these people had no decretion when having it out there and rolling it like it's no big deal. PLUS they even did it around children, which is like seriously dude? Like your decision is your decision but don't smoke around the kids. WEAR A BANDANA TO AVOID THIS AND DUST. I ended up leaving early because I had such a bad headache. 

That wraps up day 1.

Steve Madden Troopa Boot Review

Happy new year! I got the Troopa boots for Christmas and they are the perfect combat boot. They aren't too ornate or fit to a particular style. I got them in brown and now my mom says I should have bought both colours. Thanks a lot mom.

Anyway, so far they're good but like a majority of my boots they out holes in my socks. It's quite frustrating. I'm just hoping that the reason why most of them do that it because they aren't worn in. So when wearing these boots wear old socks! Unless you're trying to go for the slouchy look, I'd put legwarmers instead just to prevent holes in your socks. They pinch a bit when walking right where it creases. I'm not sure if that will also go away with wear, but I hope they do. Other than that they are a pretty comfortable fit, even for walking. They have a zipper so you don't have to lace them every time you put them on, which is a plus for me cause I'm always rushing out places and barely out my shoes on. Hope your holiday is well.
