So I don't know if you have been watching your local news station lately, but there is this new holiday that everyone should celebrate! I mean there is Chipotle, big hair, and a whole bunch of sparkle, so what's not to love? Now I know this is pretty overwhelming (especially since the last time I posted was like in April ) but this fabulous holiday just is too much! So you can stop biting your nails because I'm about to reveal the name of this holiday.
drum roll please...
It's Diop's Birthday!
Guys, can we just make this a thing. I never put a birthday post up on my actual birthday, but you still need to mark July 31st in your calendar. I had such a good time thanks to my family and friends and I'm very grateful. This year is a new beginning and I really am going to most more often.
So you will never believe what I'm about to tell you! I am actually outside. I know, it's kinda incredible especially since I live in freaking Antarctica. I mean I just can't believe the fact that I walked outside without catching frost bite. It might be -2 degrees outside, but it feels so good to see the sun again. So since my case of Spring Fever is so bad I'm going to do a Spring favorites post.

• Three Months Later • Aloha guys, I have finally gotten up from under my rock and I'm back in the blogging business! I know, I know your probably thinking why haven't you been posting, Diop? The answer to your question is the simple phrase that every single human being has used: "I've been really busy!" What an excuse, but it's true. I have some super interesting post planed and some really exciting news, but you'll have to stay tuned to find out! On with the outfit, this year I've been playing with my style and I think I might get married to this oversize, vintage button down. I mean what's not to love?! The print is obnoxious meets tribal meets '90s. I stole this little treasure out my dad's closet and ever since I ripped it off the hanger its been love at first sight. My dad 'accidentally' threw it away, but not even the trash could separate us from being together. Enough about my shirt, let's give my dress a bit of attention. So basically, this dress comes in handy for almost everything. I mean if I casually wanted to stroll by the county jail I'd just blend right in and look fabulous at the same time.(Now that's how you multitask, lol) My striped dress is such an essential and I thought it would really compliment the shirt. This outfit has been one of my favorites because it's quite edgy and I love the mixture of patterns. Honestly, I could wear it everyday! Guys, I can't express to you how much I've missed blogging and now that I've started I don't know if I can stop. So for now on expect more post in the future!
One thing you'll never understand is how much I love fall! I mean not even Chipotle, Niall Horan, and Grease 2 mixed into one little bundle of amazingness can make me this happy. That's why I wanted to make a fall favorites post. So with out further a do my fall favorites! ..................................................................

ps. What did the tree say to autumn? leaf me alone!
I know Halloween is long gone, but I still wanted to post one of the costumes I wore on Fright Night. So let's get cracking! Since I'm a Werewolf this look wouldn't be complete without cat ears. On top, I wore my wolf tank layered with a three-quarter length black flannel. Then I wore my almighty overalls, basically the most perff item of clothing I own and not to mention they're mega comfy! Going down, I'm wearing some basic black tights if you ever wanted to recreate this look I would suggest putting slashes in your tights to vamp up the look. To top it all off, I laced up my combat boots. Honestly, it doesn't even feel right to not have them on my feet at all times (maybe I'm a bit obsessed) and sometimes I look like I literally own one pair of shoes, but I don't care I'm driving Cadillacs in my dreams! (Lorde reference)
For the record, I'm not a makeup artist, but I have to say I did a darn good job. I partially followed some of Makeupbymandy24 tutorial, she's a beauty guru on YouTube with mad skills, and kinda created this. I used liquid eyeliner to make veins under my eyes and stitches on my temple and chin. For my eyes, I didn't apply mascara because I wanted to look dead. Then I blended tons of black eye shadow on my lids and under my eyes. To make my eyes look irritated, I added a crimson and a plum shadow. After that I contoured my face with black I shadow then added some fake blood. Once you complete this process you'll be a Werewolf! YEEEAAAHHHH!!
Farewell my fashion forward munchkins

ps. Why didn't the skeleton cross the road? because he didn't have the guts!!!
Well, its nice to be back I really did miss blogging. I feel like this blog has breaded itself into me, this blog is my adorable little cyber baby and I just love it! This month I actually LOVE quite a few things so if you see a series of explanation marks in this post don't be fazed.
I don't know if you can tell, but this is another one of my uniform post ( I know I do a great job of concealing my uniform *hairflick* its a gift) and I hope these give you inspiration on how you can and a bit of flavor to your prison clothes ( lol, I mean school uniform)!
This morning I was having one of those mini heart attacks, you know when you catch the 'I don't have anything to wear' syndrome, and I couldn't find anything to wear. So I literally went through my entire wardrobe and unearthed my lovely skirt! I decided to use this as my base and added those quirky taco socks you see me attempting to jump in. Then, I folded over my combat boots to showcase the vocal point of my outfit. This was completely unplanned, but I love how my plaid scarf kinda sorta matches the rim of my socks and my trench coat pairs nicely with my boots. To be honest once I put all those layers on I wasn't even hot and it was 74 degrees outside. Maybe since I was determined to wear this getup I just completely ignored the heat and everyone who asked me if I was secretly melting in all my layers.
I really want to give myself a pat on the back because I was one of the few people who discovered that wonderful indie pop singer Lorde before anyone could start singing 'Royals', her most popular song. I mean it was quite evident because I would walk the halls singing 'Biting Down', at lunch burst out singing 'Royals' and in the car sing, my favorite song by her, 'Swingin Party'!! I really love Lorde her sound is sick and I think you should give her a listen!! Pweeaasseee, for me!! Oh, to start you off check out Royals I think you'll be spitting her lyrics as often as I do!
Yes your eyes aren't deceiving you its my first day of school outfit and school supplies post, HOORAY! My first day of school was pretty exciting mainly because I met a celebrity, got Chipotle, and the weather was so nice. Usually something eventful always occurs on the first day of school for me (I guess I'm just that cool am I right or am I right!) and this year I met Reggie Bush, a football player for the Detroit Lions. While I was chowing down on my Chipotle this mega buff guy walks in and my dad's eyes legit light up and he demands me to go take a picture with this man. So I'm trying to get all the food out of my braces while Reggie Bush is ordering his chicken burrito (don't ask me why I remembered his order) I walk up to him and I poke his bicep (yes it was rock hard) asking him if I could take a picture, pretty sure I still had food in my teeth too. Of course he says yes because who wouldn't want to take a picture with me and my sisters were so jealous! So their we have it I met my first celerity and touched someone who dated a Kardashian. WOOT WOOT!
Now on to my outfit, since it was rather warm I rolled up my school pants and they transformed into capris. On top I wore my white eyelet lacey blouse over my school shirt with my oh so famous Betsy Johnson necklace and a couple more accessories.
Lastly, I wanted to share with you what's in my backpack! I basically have the standards: notebook, folders, planner, and pencils all of these are a necessities for basically everyone. Though, this year I'm in eighth grade so I need to stay extra organized because I'm going to be testing a lot, studying, and blogging of course. Planners help out with balancing a schedule for those super busy chicas, I think they are a wise thing to invest in or just a simple journal that you can write important dates in. I know everyone loves their school supplies to be interesting and a really cheap way to do that is by ripping out little pictures from old magazines and pasting them to your classic composition. This is also a really fun craft to do with friends or by yourself either way customizing your notebook is a super easy DIY that anyone can do. When I have "free time" at school I usually read a book or listen to music. I'm not allowed to pull out headphones in the middle of class,but at lunch or after school you could definitely whip out those bad boys. I also love EOS Lip Balms they're really good for moisturizing your lips and who wouldn't want all their classmates thinking that you're rubbing a colorful egg on your lips! Well, this concludes my Back to School post I'll probably make another because I wear uniforms more often than regular clothes during this time of year.
