OOTD: Dark Paradise

 Hey Everyone todays post is an OOTD. I actually wore this a while ago but I wanted to write a post about it because I think the photos turned out fabulous. My friend, Monica just purchased a Canon 60D and we wanted to test it out. She is an awesome photographer, check out her blog http://monicabradburnphotography.wordpress.com. Anyways on to the look, my top is from Brandy Melville which I've been loving this summer. They started carrying a few items at a local Pac Sun and I can't stay away from it. I think their t-shirts are my favorite! My high-waisted shorts are actually from Hollister. Strange, I know, but they fit me pretty well. They do shrink super easy though. My plaid button down is thrifted from Goodwill and lastly my combat boots are from Gilks. I almost forgot about my accessories. My studded hat is really sweet, I purchased this online from Asos. My sunglasses are from Urban Outfitters and I'm wearing a few bracelets from a variety of places, Claires, Forever 21, Urban, etc.

Thanks for reading <3

XOXO, Lex

Classic

 Todays post happens to be an outfit of the day. I figured since I haven't done one of these in a while I might as well. I love doing outfit posts but since it's summer I've been slacking on my wardrobe, however I have went school shopping and picked up some awesome pieces for fall. Anyways, I'm wearing a stripped baby doll dress from Target. I love how these dresses fit, I feel like they flatter many different figures very well. To highlight my waist I'm wearing my favorite belt from Asos, which has gorgeous gold detailing and always seems to pick up many compliments. My shoes are an old pair of gladiators from Pac Sun and my purse is from Aldo. Lastly, I wore my huge studded gold earrings with my hair pulled up into a knot not and applied red lipstick for a pop of color.

Insta-Vacation

Hey everyone! I figured I'd post a collection of the photos I took while I was on my spring break. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take my fancy camera so my iphone had to be my back up. Anyways, I went to Orlando, Florida over break, I went to a variety of places including Disney World and Universal Studios. My favorite thing was most definitely Harry Potter World in Islands of Adventure. It was just as magical as the books and movies. All the rides were fantastic and I was extremely impressed. I even enjoyed the butter beer they sold there.
Another thing I really enjoyed was Disney World. I felt like a child again right when I walked in. Everything was darling, it was awesome being able to watch my 6 year old cousin experience it first hand. I even bought the cutest pair of ears while I was there.

My cousin, Tori and I had to take the traditionally photo with Minnie mouse ears in front of Cinderella's castle.

I had such an amazing time over break. It was much needed and allowed me to take a break from my busy schedule. But alas, I have come back to reality aka Michigan and I have to start my stressful everyday life again. However, I can't wait to start blogging again. 

If you would like to hear more about my vacation, just let me know. I would love to hear about your spring break, whether you went somewhere cool or just stayed at home and slept. Just leave some comments below. Thanks!

Update: Birthday, Canada, and Spring Break

As some may have noticed I've been lacking on posts recently, I do have some explanation for that. The past few weeks I've been surrounded in nonstop busyiness.

-March 20th I drove out to Quebec, Canada with my cast mates and director of the Bullycide Project. The Bullycide project is an amazing performance presentation that helps create further awareness of bullycide. It is an incredibly project that I'm involved in. If you would like to hear more about it visit  http://thebullycideproject.com/  I would also love to do a blog post about this topic, because I think it is something everyone should be fully aware of. I was only in Canada for two days, most of that was spent in the car because it happened to be a 12 hour drive. 10 of those 12 hours we couldn't use our phones because cell service there is really expensive for us Americans :p.

-March 26th Hola! On the 26th I celebrated my 17th birthday. I feel like an old fart hahaa, nothing against old people at all but I just feel like my years are going so fast. Soon I'll be 21 than 30 than 50! On my birthday I chilled with a few of my close friends and later that night went to dinner with my family. It was actually a really awesome birthday for how simple it was.

-March 29th I left for my spring break in Orlando, Fl. Actually to be more accurate Kissimmee, Fl. Kissimmee is right next door to Orlando and is about a 15 minute drive to all the theme parks. I drove down to Florida with my cousin and grandparents. We spent the first 2 days driving and we stopped twice, once in Georgia and then in some random city in Florida. After the first few days we arrived at destination, Orange Lake. I'm going to be posting a blog post about my whole trip with photos once my trip ends!

Thanks for reading and keeping up with me! Loved to hear about your busy schedules and trips!

Teen Vogue It Girls Night in

Recently, I got this awesome opportunity with around 100 different girls to host an It Girls Night in for Teen Vogue. They had a bunch of girls celebrating there 10th year of Teen Vogue. Firstly, I had to answer a few questions about what my friends and I enjoyed. We ended up getting a DIY themed party. Teen Vogue sent me a huge box full of everything I would need to host this party...

• Décor: Table decorations, issues of teen vogue magazine, Hard copy of our March cover.
• Items for the table, decorations for the table, table cloths, plates, napkins, cups, cutlery
• Popcorn & DVD (New Years)
• DIY materials including paint, safety pins, studs, iron-on ribbon and scissors 
• Teen Vogue tote bag
• Paul Frank t-shirts 
• Rimmel Scandaleyes mascara
• Asos coupon 

They sent me so much stuff, It was unbelievable, it really kept the party going. I however, had to purchase a few things on my own, aka pizza, cupcakes, etc. Which I was totally fine with because they took care of everything else. I had around 8 girls able to show up and they really enjoyed themselves. A lot of the bags turned out super cute. 

Thanks to Teen Vogue, Paul Frank, and other companies who were apart of this opportunity. I sure had a lot of fun and I know my friends did as well :)
