steer away

"You have your brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the guy who'll decide where to go."

- Dr. Seuss

halt

i feel like my life is in complete stasis. i don't seem to know where i'm going and what i wanted. i'm so jealous of people who got it all figure out. right now, all i want is life to temporarily pause so that by the time it starts playing again i won't be lost. gaaaaah. okay enough with the melodramatic intro and lets get it on with my look. this was obviously worn a few weeks back when i had a movie date with the padre and sister. the rain has been out and about all week, not that i hate it so much but i just can't help and miss the colorful sunny days and the slow summer nights.

black cinderella

 black pants: F21 | gold watch: Aldo | glass shoes: F21 | sunnies: F21

wore an all black ensemble today, another sign that we should all bid the colorful summer days goodbye. basic top, wore them like i usually do tucked in front and let loose at the back, black jeans and amp up my look with my new favorite pair, glass shoes/cinderella-esque shoes which i think every girl should have. from the first time i laid my eyes on them, i instantly thought of the many ways on how and where to wear them. i just thought they're too beautiful to let it pass and it seemed like a good investment. my mom was the only thing that kept me from buying them but i obviously i bought them anyway. i remembered about a month ago, she came home with two new pair of shoes and asked me to hide them in my room so my father wouldn't know. and i just did the same when i came home with this and she only found out when i first wore them. ha! like mother like daughter.

style stalk: kate lanphear

does the name ring a bell? i don't know about you but i'm seriously in love with her. this drop dead gorgeous woman sporting chopped hair with slouchy and grungy looks is none other than Elle USA's style director. i've got a bunch of photos stacked in separate folders of people i religiously style stalk (e.g: Miley Cyrus, MK-O, Vanessa Hudgens) and she's obviously one of them. its june 1st and i think it is but fitting to start the first day of the month with tons of inspiration, right?
i'd be very talkative today if i wanted to, started my day really early to do something important (life-changing) and now i'm sitting in a coffee shop people watching, making this post and doing and Arrow marathon. YES, kill time. i should go now before i bore you (more).
