back in black

My new favorite staple item is this Romwe bodysuit that exposes my back like a hot commodity... gives me that necessary confidence boost a woman needs when attempting to make waves during a night out. Showing skin is the ultimate silencer... almost more effective than shoving a weapon in someone's face for intimidation purposes. I enjoy using my seductive energy to exert power over people weak enough to value superficial qualities like sex appeal and beauty. It isn't morally justified and definitely NOT an act of feminism. But it is me. My manipulative style. I wear exploitation like a necklace, foo.

leisure luxe

Ugh... sometimes I simply cannot be bothered to wear anything other than sweatpants. But unlike SOME people *camera pans to crowd of teenagers emerging from Starbucks in knockoff Uggs and local university hoodies* my leisure look doesn't compromise luxury. Very important to spruce up a sartorial cop out witj heels and (if you're cool like me) a satin bomber jacket with MAJE embroidery. There's only one other thing this outfit calls for and it's an orange Mustang. Obviously.

heart set on ette

Been growing my bangs out for summer but the transition into middle-part-territory STILL hasn't happened. I've been trying to pull off the overgrown borderline feral fringe look by wearing more earthy prints and silhouettes. This tie-dye kimono from Ette does the trick. I love the way it drapes over a maxi dress and platform boots... reminds me of my beloved 2012 road trip lifestyle.



Check out how me and Jessi styled another Ette look at Taco Bell for The Fabulous Stains! We be thinkin' outside the bun ALWAYS.  Fab Stains x Ette Clothing

hologlammin' it

A lil' bird may have told you that I got hair extensions and ever since have been SO addicted to selfies that I couldn't even be bothered to take my usual SLR quality photos of this outfit... I'm only human people!! Not mad about how these pics turned out (although I am peeved that they're grainy as eff on a computer) -- I think the concept of displaying my outfit in the form of an intimate, handheld iPhone photo is relatable and fun. 

You guys probably already know this, but HOLY SHIT there is an entire culture dedicated to holographic clothes and fabrics on Tumblr. Like. Literally. You can track the tag "holographic blog" and find thousands of devoted bloggers toting reflective Topshop platforms and a "soft grunge" / "pastel goth" background and theme. I love that young people are always finding new and unique ways to show allegiance with one another, especially through clothing that signifies membership. But you gotta admit... "holographic" is such a random aesthetic around which to establish a subculture! 

Nontheless... rocking my own holographic/mesh sweater with a matching holographic sparkle mini! Thank you, Romwe, for always icing the cake. ^_^

scuba x minty jungle

Every time my BFF Jessi and I are contemplating our outfits for an out of town gig or vacation themed event, we prioritize our likeness to our all-time favorite teen bully: Brianna Wallace. I've probably referenced her before in my Holiday in the Sun post, which was named after the movie she starred in (played by Megan Fox in her adolescence). We simply love outfits themed around that movie, which was actually a narrative infomercial for Atlantis resorts but marketed to Mary Kate and Ashley's youth audience as just another fun foray into the lives of America's white heroine sweethearts. There's an irresistible Weezer song playing in the intro. Here's why I love Mary Kate and Ashley: they were more or less sold into acting (not placing any blame here) and compromised the public experience of having their own unfiltered opinions, but as soon as becoming adults they rebelled against exactly that and became opinion leaders in fashion. They could have continued to exchange their identities for corporate campaigns with corporate scale paychecks. Instead, they welcomed adulthood and the process of having one's own opinions filtered not by a parent agent but by her personal, internal moral discretion. 

Anyway, so this look is an enthusiastic wave (you know what I hate? when people say 'a nod to (x trend)' -- why are you nodding? It sounds so pretentious and wannabe dignified. I would never nod at something I like, I would enthusiastically wave. Unless you're talking about a 'wassup' nod. I would say sup to a trend I like, but it's waaaay more likely that I would wave and give them a Ja'mie hug and double cheek kiss) to water sports and the contemporary integration of neoprene and PVC in fashion.

Now may I direct your attention to the star of today's show. Everybody, meet Minty Jungle, Minty Jungle, meet everybody. This what Minty Jungle looks like:



Sequin All Seeing Eye Top ($40) | Jersey Mesh Bralette ($29) | Faux Leather Harness ($30) | Velvet Zip Up Crop Top ($24) | Cheetah Print Bomber Jacket ($50) | Supreme Bitch Swimsuit ($60)

I'm loving this angry sport girl aura for summer.

houndstooth

I dressed up because this is a special occasion: my first blog post as a 21 year old. My birthday was on the 7th (holla at my Taurus sisters!!) and no I didn't celebrate by going to a surprise party at a privately booked club as I had always fantasized in my adolescence. I played a lot of Hearthstone, which is a major step up from last birthday's Temple Run 2. My mom also took me to lunch at the Wynn's society cafe and bought a collectible plexiglas framed Chanel purse - thrilling for me as an art enthusiast. But yeah, not much alcohol going on... although I did in indulge in one and a half glasses of Rosé (chased by a Rockstar energy drink) and later, a Smirnoff Ice screwdriver that I bought from 7-eleven. Am I glamorous yet? No? Is it because I'm too introverted or just not putting enough effort in? Allow these outfit photos to compensate, taken with a tripod in the safety of my own bedroom.
