Hipster and Vintage Fashion/Style Obsession

So recently I have been completely obsessed with hipster and vintage style. I have always thought it was super cute, and sometimes dress inspired by these looks, but a few days ago someone I follow on tumblr reblogged a hipster photo, and I noticed it had a caption which was a link to a girl's blog. All the link said was "Hipster Blog Click Here," so I did, and I am so glad I visited her tumblr. I am totally in love with everything hipsterish, and since then I have been scouring the internet looking for online stores that sell cute hipster pieces without being overpriced. Along with hipster styles comes vintage. I used to like vintage pieces, but now I completely LOVE anything vintage!



I have watched so many hipster inspired fashion videos on youtube, and vintage clothing hauls over the past couple of days, I think I'm obsessed. If anyone reading this knows of some good youtubers (I subscribed to a few today) that make fashion videos with vintage/hipster pieces, please give me a link below! If you have seen any great videos lately relating to this too, I'd love a link.



I don't know whether it's the incredibly fashionable style, the outgoing nature, or the crazy patterns, colors, and prints, but there's something that draws me in. I really want to go to a Good Will right now, but sadly, I don't have a car yet, and it's a school night so this doesn't really work for me :/



Tomorrow I am going to dress with vintage inspiration for school. A couple weeks ago I got a long-sleeved black lace blouse from Rainbow for about $7 and I am really excited to rip that price tag off and put it on, but I need a really good outfit to justify my first wearing of the top. I have been looking for a shirt exactly like this one- black, lace, long-sleeved, and this is the perfect one! I am also totally in love with high-wasted pants/shorts/skirts, and denim!


Denim shorts and jackets and vests are so cute, especially mom jeans that have been cut off the waste and distressed. I love distressed denim shorts with studs too! Cross jewelry is also really cute, I am currently wearing silver cross earings, and for the past few months (before this new obsession) I have been sporting a really long gold cross ring.



I'm going to add a few pictures to this post to show some really cute vintage and hipster looks from online, so if you aren't obsessed yet like I am, this might make you! Don't forget to leave me comments if you know of any online stores that aren't too expensive! Also I just started listening to Indie music, so if you have any favorite songs of that genre, please tell me!



Love you all, Amber

The World is Obsessed With Drugs!

I just can't understand why so much of the world is obsessed with drugs. Recently I have been exposed to so much of this drug crap, and it's really getting annoying. At my old school a lot of kids drank, and many smoked weed, but at my new school it's like everyone does weed! If I had to make an accurate estimation of how many people have smoked at least once, it would be 65%. Definitely not lower than that.

At the skate park, the kids skate half the time, and the other half of the time they smoke. Pretty much every skater smokes, and I'm pretty sure that's where they sell drugs too. Many kids at my school smell like weed, talk about getting high, and some even smoke in the bathrooms! Every time I go on tumblr, I always see pictures of weed pop up because a few people I follow who are into makeup like me are also obsessed with weed. I don't want to unfollow them, however, because I like all the makeup posts. Drugs are way too overexposed.

To express this to my facebook friends, I made a status. I didn't want to be too harsh about this because I know some of them smoke (two in particular are huge potheads). This was the status I made:

"I'm seriously tired of people being obsessed with drugs. Some people just won't stop talking about it, and I see this so much on Facebook and Tumblr. Doing drugs doesn't make you cool, and flaunting it is even dumber, don't you know the internet is forever? One day you're going to want to get a job, and you won't get it because they will look you up. Every time I see people like this I get very disappointed in them. There are some great people but what they do makes me lose my respect for them. People get busted so often because of what they post, and it can happen to you too."


*my status currently has 30 likes

Immediately, less than one minute after I posted this status, a boy I am friends with on Facebook liked my status. This boy happens to be one of the biggest smokers I know, and the status was partly about him because I recently found his twitter and noticed he tweets a lot about drugs, and twitpics pictures of him smoking or his stash of weed. I still don't understand why he liked my status, but furthermore, I don't understand why people do this sort of thing.

Red Hair!

Here is a picture of my red hair! I had it slightly red/auburn before, and I dyed it a little more red January 2nd 2012. New Year, New Hair! This is what it looks like now:




I used Garnier hair dye. First I used a blonde one to lighten my hair a little. It didn't bleach out much of the pigment in my hair, so that's why my hair isn't bright red. I used the brightest red hair dye they make after my hair was bleached. I like the turnout and so far, my neighbor is in love with the color, and the waitress at IHOP likes it too!

In the future, I want to go brighter, potentially Rihanna red, or a fire-truck red. For now, I like the intensity.
