Where In The World Was Justina?






I'll never tell. 
Or at least, not yet. 
But I promise you that when I tell you, it will be so completely worth the wait, you'll forget how much you want to hit me with a shoe right now.

Trust.

It was completely amazing, and more than a little magical

If you want to make a guess, check out insta and take a crack.


What did y'all get up to while I was gone? 

and who ate all my cookies?

who does that?

xx,
Justina

It'll be the best night of your life

...or at least that's what I told my friends when I coerced them to ditch the typical prom in favor of In n Out and Ironman 3 with me.

and you know what?

It was awesome.


In n Out is always good (Come to Cali, eat our burgers, you'll never leave.)
Ironman 3 was amazing (I mean...Ironman)

and getting to wear this gorgeous dress I picked up (when I say picked up, I mean I fought this woman with hideous acrylic nails who would. not. give. it. up.) at a local thriftstore.

pro. score.

It was the perfect evening, full of wonderfully random conversations, insane giggling, me explaining how I trip on air, laughing at people who stared at the incredibly well dressed group of teens, and making plans for summer.

 Everything a good prom should be. 

Also, I discovered that you really can blind people with glitter.

fun fact.

xx,
Justina


ps. I'd love to see your prom photos

Sparkle Toes





 #teenvogue
shoes: c.o bc footwear|dress: thrifted|necklace c.o wonderland wishes|sunnies: c.o zerouv
I don't know why, but these shoes make me feel like Taylor Swift.

There. I said it. It's out.

I think it's because they aren't just sneakers, and they aren't just glittery, they've got this cool lace up thing happening that is very oxford-ish. And you know who wears a lot of oxfords? Taylor Swift. 

Makes sense now, doesn't it?

Scary stuff.

They're also dead comfortable, which has inspired a lot of skipping. Just thought you'd like to know. Skipping is a lot more fun than yoga.

I'm not really sure what's happening in this outfit, but I know it's good.

My all pink Casio? Good.
My blue plastic sunnies that are a throwback to my preschool days? Good.
My sparkly pink "Cute" necklace (just in case you weren't clear)? Good.

All good.

I've hijacked another neighbors yard in the name of a post. I think this is what they call a "gateway crime". Next I'll be stealing their cars to drive to Fashion Week. It's all a matter of time.

Speaking of time, next week is my last week of school! holllaaaaaa

 I should probably go finish the 103803290329038 projects I'd rather not do.

Someone come find me in 48 hours,
 I'll be the sparkly shoes sticking out from under the house of biology papers.

Your music might kill me though



 This is my jam.


I ahhhhdore Fitzgerald, but am still rather unclear on my feelings about The Great Gatsby.
I mean, gorgeous technicolor shooting with beautiful original costumes, (there's nothing sexy like excess) but all the people in them seem a bit...sad. In a boring way, not a ooh this could be rather interesting in a Lana Del Rey music video way.

Speaking of the music,  I am still not talking to Beyonce ever since that horrendous and tragic excuse of a cover of "Back To Black" they dared to put in this film came to light. I can't even deal with that.

Justina rule #21: Don't disrespect the Amy

ever.

Pink a boo, I see you







sweater: asos|earrings: c.o stella&bow|necklace:c.o eclectic eccentricities

pink and purple, pink and purple, pink and purple, pink and purple

Sometimes, my hair just gets it right

Then my nails looked like they were matched to my sweater by fashion angels,
 and my eyeliner looks good 
and it's just a really good day.
I found out Rex and I are in an ad for Don't Feed The Bears in Company Magazine UK (can someone pick me up a copy of that?) and got to have possibly the greatest conversation I've ever held with Laura Brown (look here soon for the sum of that). And that all went down before 10 am.

skiddly

I'm making "skiddly" a thing. If Eloise can say it, so can I.

How do you guys feel about more beauty (obviously I'm always a beauty but y'know what I mean) posts rather than those spaz shots we call outfit posts?
I'm off, spending the weekend in a forest full of fairies.

Justina

Rose Girl






dress+ shoes: thrifted|tote c.o souve|bracelet c.o hippe hebbdingjetes

Just nobody tell my neighbors I touched their roses, ok?

or their grass.

They'll go stark bonking raving mad. 

I mean, as much as they can without talking to me or looking directly at me.

but gosh aren't their roses pretty?

I feel like they secretly feed them pixie dust or something.

Pretty flowers make me really happy. 
And so does this dress and my space buns and my really comfy clogs (not crocs, never crocs) and my brilliant tote which I always have to explain to people but that's ok because I'm just happy

I like that clothes have that power. You put them on, and you just feel. 

god that sounded so tumblr but whateverrrrr


Whats new with you guys? I feel like we should be having better conversations or something. 

Let's go get a milkshake. 
Or, y'know, I can go get a milkshake and instagram it and you can visually enjoy it.

 21st century technology y'all.

xx,
Justina

Pink Lay



 sweater*asos| watch*casio via asos|shoes*c.o lulu*s|clutch*c.o alexandra king

 I don't like flatlays.

You may find this curious, as I have just posted one,
 but I just always felt like clothes look better on people than they do on sheets.

However.

In flatlays, you are able to just put all the pretty things together without 
worrying about bothersome things like pants. 

In flatlay land, an outfit can just be a sweater and gorgeous accessories.
 (that's really how it ought to be everywhere)

My clutch is my baby, as evidenced by the amount of photos of it I posted to various social media oulets last night along with the line "Who needs children when you can have beautiful clothes?".

Valentino feels me brah

I absolutely adore my new watch. It's just. so. pink.

My mum saw it and said "We had those in the 90's"

Which basically means I'm totally on trend, right?

Right.

This sweater is softer than a llama butt. 

I can vouch for that first hand. 

literally.

I got 99 problems but not having ever touched a llama butt ain't one.

Justina

California Snow






#teenvogue
 top: c.o dame jolie|overalls: thrifted| necklace: c.o wonderland wishes

 If you got all excited because you thought you were going to see photos of snow in the valley...no

If you actually think it snows in the valley,
 I should ask you if you've seen my unicorn wandering around.

I named this post such because I felt like if Snow White had been really California, this is how she would have dressed instead of that silly and impractical dress she would insist on living in.

I know, two posts in a row with the overalls, but you know what? 
They're so fabulous I don't give a dwarf.

See what I did there?

I feel so much love for this shirt. It's actually a vintage piece that was clearly meant for a small child due to it's strange shortness, but I dress like a small child so broken rules.

  It looks a bit like a dirndl, so I channeled my German roots (Do not say Heidi, Heidi is SWISS, not German) and yodeled during this shoot.
 Justina's Got Talent, anyone?
 
 Per a request, I made a bit of a film-ish type deal for this look. Got a bit artsy too.
Nothing says artsy like Lana Del Rey.

Ok, gotta go round up my dwarves and unicorn.

The unicorns' name is Maxine.

Just incase you were interested.

xx,

Justina

ps. who is your favorite Disney princess?

I call dibs on Rapunzel.
