Today, I'm introducing a new post idea. Basically, it's a monthly post about things I loved during the month. It's called Monthly Marvels. This month is one full of pastels. It being summer, you have to wear lighter colors to keep cool. I put together three outfits that I would wear. All of these are going for three different events. A casual, a kind of dressed up one, and a dressed up outfit. I really love the flatforms from Topshop. I'm in need of a pair.

Thank you to everyone that wished me luck at the doctor's. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. Both of which, are genetic. I've already started medicine and am supposed to go to a therapist/counselor soon. Don't worry about me though. I'll get through this.

Do you guys like this monthly idea? It'll be my last post  for each month and will feature a theme. Also, I'm going to be doing a Questions page on my blog. Comment some questions or email me them! I'd love to hear from you guys!

Dress-Forever 21 
Bracelet- Vintage 


I decided to post earlier this morning because I'll be a ball of nerves tonight. I go in for my doctor's appointment tomorrow morning, and I'm terrified. Now, to discuss the outfit. This dress was a buy from Forever 21 during the spring. We have a strict dress code of no shoulders and down to your knees. Awful, right? I adore prints, and this was no exception. The bracelet was a buy from one of my family friend's vintage shop. I apologize for the close up, but I really do need a new camera. I was thinking about taking a jar and start saving. Hope you all are enjoying yourselves today! I've got a new feature coming up on Tuesday so look out for that! 

And when you're fifteen...


I'm going to be honest here, I just took a picture because it looked cool. 

I'm pretty sure I wasn't supposed to be standing on that....


This was cool too. 


I just wanted to show a better outfit picture. 


Posing with my main homie. 

I was able to feed this beautiful creature. 


This was right after that amazing experience. 

This place is undeniably gorgeous. 

I  put my acting skills to the test. 


The park is so gorgeous. 

Hi! I can finally say I'm fifteen. That means that I'll be getting my license next year. That will be terrifying. I spent my day with my sister and father at North Carolina Zoo. I always love the zoo, because I can clear my head for a bit. My legs are aching though, but it was worth it. 

I wore a black shirt from Forever 21. My shorts were ordered form spikesandseams.com. They have Marvel characters on them. I may have a bit of an obsession with comic books. My dad ended up getting me a vintage Scooby Doo one for my birthday, along with the iPhone 5. Score! The shoes are converses and I've literally had them for over three years. 

I am also starting to save up for a new camera. Let's hope I can get that soon. 

I hope you all  had a lovely day! 

Batman the Ballerina?

Crop Top-Forever 21 
Skirt- Oasap (ordered from viewsofnow.com) 


Let's be honest here, I look absolutely horrible. This picture was taken after I went and played tennis yesterday morning. I literally have slept less than 15 hours in the last few days. I go to the doctor's office on Monday and am absolutely terrified with what may happen. 

Anyways, I have realized that a girl used to have this URL and gave it up, I guess? When I linked to Bloglovin, it still has some of her older posts. I was thinking maybe changing my URL? Ideas would be fantastic! 

This skirt makes me twirl around so much. I feel like getting back into dance now. More to come on Friday! 

Stay beautiful,

Shorts- Delia's

Hello everyone! My birthday is this Friday and I'm so excited. I'm going to the zoo for my 15th birthday.... The zoo will always be my happy place. I need the break from life for a bit. I won't go into extreme details, but I'll be getting help soon and a proper diagnosis. I should get better over time, just bare with me please. I want to thank everyone who has been commenting and reading my blog. All of that has made me determined to keep going. 


On a happier note, can we talk about how awkward of a photo this is? These shorts never seem to fit me right. And secondly, it looks like I have a mustache. Which I can assure you, that I don't. I promised a mostly full body picture and here it is. 

I also want to run some things over with you guys. I am going through as many blogs as possible and am commenting on posts. I was hoping to make some friends in the blogosphere, seeing as though I'm quite new. Feel free to email me and follow me on instagram. I'd be happy to reply in no time and share some awkward conversations with you all. 


Thanks again guys! Have a lovely day/night!

Top- Forever 21 
Shorts- Forever 21 


I spent yesterday shopping with my friend. I ended up buying these gorgeous shorts and I can't stop looking at them! I like the fact that they aren't really a standard pattern. I've got a lot going on lately, and I hope I can continue to blog. I was thinking of buying my blog a little makeover from etsy. I was wondering where did you guys get your templates? I need a good one, and I want to make my blog have pastel features. 

PS: I realize that I never post a full body on here and that is because my face doesn't cooperate for pictures. I do promise a full body picture next post! Have a lovely day! 

Teen Titans

Top-A comic book store 

Let's not focus on the terrible quality of this picture, but of the shirt I'm wearing. I love graphic shirts dearly(as I expressed in the last post), and this is the perfect tee. It's huge on me, meaning I have to cuff the sleeves and tuck it in. 

Not many people know this, but I have an undying love for comics and cartoons. I wore this to my last class day of Driver's Ed and got some compliments from some underclassmen. 

I took my application to a local humane society today and I'm hoping to volunteer there. They've got a major event Saturday, and I'm kind of hoping I end up working that. 

I've got my test tomorrow to pass the class part tomorrow, and then I'll be back to blogging regularly! Wish me luck?

Long time no see, yeah? I've been busy with Drivers Ed the last week and I have it until Thursday. Then I'll be posting on a normal basis. I've been looking at graphic tees on Urban Outfitters and Topshop. If you're like me, a fourth of your wardrobe is oversized graphic tees. Some I have gotten from the men's section in Kohl's. I have no shame.

Expect an outfit post sometime soon. Have a lovely day!



Laughing in Red


Blouse-Belk's 
Shorts-Forever 21 


I was extremely excited to take pictures of this outfit today, but things were cut kind of short when my older sister decided to make me laugh. I haven't been the happiest lately and a good laugh was a great thing to finally experience. But anyways, this blouse was a present from mother dearest and I love the feel of it. I hope to see you all soon! 

Happy Fourth of July

Hi guys! Today is the Fourth of July for Americans and if you're not American then happy Thursday! 

I didn't do a lot today, except see some family. I've lived up to  the expectations of perfect fireworks and food, but become highly disappointed. I've decided that I won't be doing any of the normal festivities but just spend some time lounging around. The only thing that we did that was traditional was cookout. But, that my friends, is something you don't want to give up.

Hope you all had a wonderful day!
