Free People Inspiration

All of these are from the Free People March catalog. They just so happen to be my favorites, believe me I would post the entire thing up here if I could. You can shop the catalog online here.

Also, the Free People blog is one of my favorite sources of inspiration. Here are two looks showcased in this entry.

Enjoy and happy Tuesday,

A few weeks ago when I first saw this dress I absolutely fell in love. As aforementioned in this post, I'm obsessed with eyeballs. So, when I saw this little number which is the perfect combination of tribal patterns, colors, and an eyeball I instantly became obsessed with finding out the designer: Mara Hoffman.

Tank Maxi Dress $195

Modal Poncho $200

Lattice Back Tank Dress $182

Fringe Bikini $187

These pieces by Hoffman come from Planet Blue.

I think it's safe to say that I've found my new favorite designer.

Apple of my Eye

Here are some things I got at Michael's craft store today: feathers to make my own type of feather extensions (ha, who am I kidding, right?), a beautiful turquoise pendant, and eyeball stickers - because if you don't know, I'm obsessed with eyeballs.

I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the eyeball stickers, but I've found one use for them already!

And here I am sporting a pair of earrings I bought the other day from JC Penney. When I first saw them I just loved the unique shapes of them but my mom was saying they looked like a military patch or something. Then the other night at work, an old man was asking me about them and asking if my dad was in the military. Oh well, I still think they're cool looking besides their obvious military-esque aspect.

Who else loves Seneca Rising?

Duncan Top $69 (also comes in coral)

Sion Tunic $92

Joni Button Down $88

Mate Tunic $174

I've loved Seneca Rising ever since I got one of their pieces in a Free People store this past summer. These are my favorite pieces from Planet Blue's new Seneca Rising Spring 2011 collection. I think it's pretty clear that I am craving more white in my wardrobe for the coming months.

I want you all to know that your comments are what keep me going! I really appreciate them more than words can describe.

Old and New

I know that I have a giant collection of old magazines, as I'm sure a lot of people do, that I can never get rid of. I find myself periodically going through them and tearing out my favorite editorials/ads so here are some of my favorite older magazine pages.

Apparently this one is from Elle, since it says so in the top left corner. Betsey Johnson is such a cool, unique designer and I religiously buy her perfume. I love how they combined all of her interesting, beautiful products into one photo here.

From the feel of this page, I believe it was from an old H&M catalogue. I just love the peacock feathers and I feel that it's such a nice inspiration board.

These photos make me miss summer and want to go on a road trip. I just have always found them so lovely. By the way, they are from Seventeen magazine from July 2004 (notice the tag in the bottom right corner)! Wow!

Remember when MIA modeled fro Marc Jacobs? I've never been a really big fan of Marc Jacobs but I am in love with MIA - her look, her music, her attitude - so it made me extra giddy each time I'd flip open a magazine to see her in it.

This last old one is for Meg because she is obsessed with anything American flag, at least clothing wise. I thought it was so pretty how they made that vest!

Now here are some new photos, from the most recent Teen Vogue and Nylon. I noticed that both of them featured Georgia May Jagger, and I think she looks so beautiful in both shoots. I love her gap in the front of her teeth, little quirks like that are my favorite.

And lastly (because this post wasn't quite long enough) here is a photo of me dancing to Waka Waka by Shakira, and being happy about how long my hair has gotten!

What does anyone else do with their old ripped out magazine pages? I need some interesting way to store them!

Trend Alert!

So I have been kind of nonexistent lately but good news, my dad is setting up a computer in his office just for me. One I can use temporarily while he's in the process of fixing mine. Now I'll be able to upload personal outfits and such!

In the meantime, I thought I'd share with you a trend that everyone seems to be into these days. Feathers! We know here at WP Culture, we're guilty of the trend.

Check out these beautiful hair extensions!


I stumbled upon Planet Blue's blog only to find out they are now specializing in feather hair extensions that are easy to remove and shower with! Unfortunately for those of us who do not live in the Malibu area, we do not have access to them. However, I've discovered clip-on hair accessories that can be found on the Planet Blue Store website.


                                       Here's a clip on that's just as amazing as the extensions!

Find the available feather hair accessories here.

 

and if you happen to live in the Malibu area, check out Planet Blue's blog post to find out more information on how to get your hands on them!

Enjoy, Meg.

Tendencies.

One of my worst tendencies includes cutting my bangs when I am unhappy with them. Though I am happy to say that after a long long month of having to pin them back because I chopped them, they have finally grown back in so that I can wear them normal again! I was so excited that I felt it necessary to take an outfit photo. Which leads me to my second worst tendency, wearing all new items together. I just bought these two shirts last night, and of course I ended up pairing them together. It's like I can't wait a few days to wear each separately, I hate it! But, oh well.

T-Shirt: Behave

Button up tank worn as vest: BB Dakota
