Modest Mouse

Forever 21 Dress, Vince Camuto Patent Leather Oxfords, H&M Sunnies, Headband by Forever 21

It's safe to say I am growing up in a generation where showing more skin is becoming more socially acceptable. Although I've never been one to wear a turtleneck and long pants, I do tend to take the more modest route when it comes to my clothing. It's just more my style and its what I like. 

I tend to find inspiration in the old school, hence the Black & White. 

Met Gala 2013: Art Meets Punk

 

 Spikes, Studs, and Fohawks, were just some of the looks rocked on the Met Gala 2013 red carpet. The theme this year was "Art meets Punk" and so many stars and designers were able to rise to the occasion. Above are some of my favorite looks from the star studded event.

Biker Boots

Dress from Nordstrom BP, Boots by Steve Madden, Cardigan from Target, Scarf from Nordstrom BP, Sunnies from H&M, Headband from Nordstrom

Except for the occasional day when I feel like an angsty teenager, I’m about as far from being a punk/rock dresser as you can get. I’m usually in dresses, and not even my jeans have holes in them, but motorcycle boots was a trend I couldn't ignore. They are the perfect way to angst up any outfit. 

How To Wear: A Crop Top

There is nothing wrong with revealing a little skin, especially during hot spring and summer days. I personally know how popular this trend is because I see it on my friends all the time. To this end, cropped tops are having a great popularity among, celebrities and fashion enthusiasts.
I am not naive, I know for a lot of girls the crop top can be about showing off your stomach but I think there are perfectly feminine, and elegant outfit choices that can reveal a bit of a toned midriff, and not be too trashy.

First things first, What inspired you to start your own blog?

I love taking pictures and I love sharing them. I've always been a fan of blogs and have had many before this one, so this was my final (and successful, so far) attempt :)

Very successful :) For inspiration, What are some blogs you visit often?

ashleysixto.com, songofstyle.com, http://apairandasparediy.com, louditavictoria.blogspot.com, those are some my daily reads. 

Love it! Gonna have to check some of those out, Which designers and/or celebrities most inspire you?

I definitely love everything Michael Kors & Marc Jacobs. I love designer but no so much the price, so most of the time I try and find some similar alternatives or go to Zara :). Some of my favorite dressed celebs are definitely Kelly Osborne and Zooey Deschanel. Kim Kardashian and I have the same body time so I am always inspired by her. I also love the way Kendall and Kylie dress (although they are a lot younger than me they dress my age.. hah)

I love all of those choices! I have totally done blog posts on all of them! Ok, Finish this sentence. I cannot leave my house without my…..

phone and some money to grab a coffee :) 

-Celebrity crush?

How can it NOT be Ryan Gosling? Loveee him! 

Haha, that seems to be the general consensus. What are some of your beauty/makeup must haves?

I have definitely been into BB cream, must have some mascara (bad gal lash is my fave!) & pretty lips. 

-Favorite Magazine?

I'd have to say Marie Claire for the fashion trends & Teen Vogue for the affordability. Everything in Vogue and Marie Claire are usually way to expensive to even think of buying, I love how Teen Vogue picks items that are affordable for the college gal. 

Yep, Gotta love affordable. Most surprising thing on your iPod?

Probably Frank Ocean, I am not usually one for r&b and rap but I definitely love him.

I love me some Frank! Good choice love. Some things you love about your Home/Hometown?

My hometown is Houston - I love all of the shopping, food, and big city life there. My house was inside the loop so I was always around events and awesome places. 

And Finally, Favorite things right now (Movies, Tv Shows, Songs etc.)

My favorite TV show is Parks & Recreation, it is so hilarious! I also love How I Met Your Mother, I don't want it to end! I have a lot of favorite songs but a good summary is to listen to the Alt 18 countdown on Sirius XM radio channel 36 ;)

Thank you for taking time out of your day to answer my questions Angela! We all loved hearing your answers.
