Farewell xx

OOOhhh Hello there again! ^.^ It's been a while since I've been on here huh? This year has ben SO busy for me. New things are happening, new adventures, new classes, new schedules... I haven't had the least bit of time to post on my blog. So here is my farewell to all my lovely, amazing subscribers, along with my final pieces of advice.

Just say YES! :)

This is an excerpt from http://www.zoella.co.uk

Zoella has helped me SO much and I think you should all read what she has to say, about just saying yes.

How often do you turn things down or shy away from doing things a little out of your comfort zone? How often do you say NO? Do I want to live my life turning things down and missing out on so many opportunities just because it scares me a bit? No, and neither do you. I would rather do more things, that I can look back on and think "I'm so glad I did that" than think "I really wish I'd done that". I don't want to ever be left with that awful question floating around in my head of "what if?". There may be times when you do panic, or you do get in a flap about something, but if you know that ultimately you're going to be okay, at least you can say you did it, or you tried it, and at least you won't be left thinking "what if?".  I have started to say YES to things I'd never normally say yes to. I'm not saying yes to absolutely everything, but i'm making a conscious effort to agree to more things.

You get ONE life (unless of course you are a feline), one chance to do anything and everything you want. Do not let something like this control your decisions or ruin experiences for you. The same goes for people. Don't let people ruin things for you, or control your behaviours or your life choices. 

It's YOUR life. Share it with others but don't let anyone, or anything take over the control you have.

Say YES. Make it your mission, to do things you'd never normally do, go places you'd never normally go, meet people you'd never normally meet. How can you make memories, and take new paths in life if you turn everything down?

Stop worrying about what others think about you. You've heard this advice millions of times from your mom, family, friends... almost everyone! Seriously, stop. We are who we are, not what everyone else wants us to be. I see too many girls trying to "fit in" by dressing the same, and not trying anything different. Why? You only live once (yes I just said YOLO) so why live it trying to be like everybody else? If you like something that's completely crazy and unique, just go for it! If you're worried about people judging you, it's because they don't have the confidence that you do! You can pull off any look with confidence. With confidence, you can rock even the craziest pants in the world. Confidence is the reason I can pair neon pink pants with a kitty ear headband.

If you like something, wear it. Who cares what everyone else thinks. It's about what makes YOU happy. It's not about what they think, it's about what YOU think.

Next piece of advice: Laziness is not an excuse. "I just don't have time to get ready in the morning with school and works, etc." It takes the same amount of time to put on sweats as it does to pop on a cute outfit. Do you think Karl ever says “I’m too busy/tired to look like Karl today?” (http://www.thesartorialist.com/) Some people ask me how in the world i have time in the morning to come up with the outfits I wear. The answer: Simple wake up in the morning and pop on whatever I feel like wearing. I haven't resorted to sweats once, even when I'm running late. In fact, I don't even OWN a pair of sweats lol. I'm not saying you should look like you just got off the Miu Miu runway, but wear whatever is cute to YOU. And for those of you in school, dressing better allows you to perform better throughout the day anyway! ^.^ 


I've read a lot of stories on tumblr/twitter etc. about how some girls have a completely different style than what they wear on a daily basis. Their reasons are because of self-consciousness, and money. We've talked about self-consciousness already, but now comes the money issue. 

At school the other day I was complimented  on my outfit, and the dialogue went something like 
"That's such a cute outfit!"
"Thanks!"
"I could never pull off something like that, let alone afford it." 

#1- You actually could pull off an outfit like this if you cared less about what people thought about you. 
#2- My entire outfit was bought from Forever 21. 

People think that to look cute you have to buy from expensive brands and blah blah blah. You really don't! Half my closet is H&M (as you guys know I LOVE H&M) and Forever 21. I've talked about this before, but if you look for the right pieces (and that's stuff that YOU are attracted to, not something you saw 5 other girls wearing at school so you need to get it to fit in, but good quality items.) you can look just as couture as Karlie Kloss on the runway. 

Dress as if nobody's watching. (or judging) 

I've realized that I've discovered amazing things (stores, people, music, etc.) by dressing for me. If I were to name a few; Rapsodia, Sfera, Zara, Wild Fox... etc. As well as icons I look up to; Cara Delevingne, Zoella, Little Mix... etc. Even the music I've found relates! Try giving yourself a go at dressing the way you want, and you'll discover so many things that define who YOU are, and ultimately will lead you to having a happier, confident life. ^.^ (Plus, who doesn't like to dress up for the day anyway?)

Just Say YES! 

I hope that this final message to all my lovely followers will inspire you to break out of the shell you've been hiding in, and let the inner you SHINE! I'm hoping to start a new blog soon where I can post more often and stay in touch with all of you. For now this is my farewell from Fashion Mouse, La Blue Girl, and Bijoux et Bisoux. I love you all, and I will be back soon, I promise! ^.^ (Email me if you want to stay in touch for when I have my new blog up!) Until next time my little fashionistas!

Loteria!

Wearing:

H&M blouse

Bershka green jeans

JFK ankle boots

My own headband

"Loteria!" handbag from Mexico

LOTERIA! I scored on this cute handbag, which also happens to be decorated with playing cards from my favorite childhood game... apart from hungry hungry hippos... 

Can I just say, that personally i think blue, green and orange go amazingly amazing together? The three colors are so bold already, and together they really stand out! And fall is in the air, so what better way to prepare than pops of colour? :)

Prada

<3 Met a Fan!! <3

Wearing:

Zara Dress

Prada Chandelier Heels

My own headband

My classy look for you all! What better color of peach can there be for a dress like this? I am a huge fan of these dresses, and I would definitely recommend this outfit for a special dinner or party! One of the most important things about these dresses, is that you can't over accessorize them. The dress is the main attraction, and a simple bracelet or a ring or headband like I have are perfect! And lets not forget an amazing pair of heels! The heels sparkle like no other! They are just simply incredible, there isn't another word to describe them. (Aaand.. they also happen to be my mothers so this is about the only time she would ever let me touch them). I love that they are so fragile and soft looking and give such a feminine touch to any Cinderella look like this! <3 That's it exactly! they are Cinderella heels and every girl must have her pair of Cinderella heels to wear to make an unforgettable entrance, and make just an unforgettable departure.

I also got to meet a little fan!! She came outside while we were taking pictures and loved my outfit! She looked so adorable I couldn't resist not taking a photo with her, so here is my cutest fan ever! :) And to all of my followers/viewers, you guys are truly amazing and I am so thankful for your support and viewings! To everyone in France, Switzerland, Australia, New Zeland (im not kidding guys! you are from all over the place!<3) etc, you guys help inspire my blog every day! 

Stay Classy xx

Shabby & Shabby

Wearing:

Mika Dress

Mika Shoes

My Own Purse

Cutest cafe in the world? Check! Shabby & Shabby is without a doubt the most charming and enchanting cafe there could ever be. It is partially outdoors and half indoors, with Chandeliers hanging everywhere! Just to my luck, it was raining outside which is by far the perfect weather to sip tea in.[ I was rather sad when we took these photos... it was our last day in Guadalajara :( ] I was very lucky to have found this dress! I actually only grabbed it to try on with a pair of shoes since I was wearing long pants and it turned out to be a very cute little dress! The color is a rusty red/brown and is perfect for a day at a little cafe. 

The purple shoes were perfect for this season!... since purple is a huge trending color for fall! Purple, Purple, Purple girls, you can never have to much purple this fall! I already have my purple skirt... oops! I better not spoil that surprise for you until the "Purple" post comes up!! 

Stay Classy, xx

Riddle

Wearing:

H&M Tuxedo Shirt

Forever 21 Lace Flare Jeans

Marni Heels

My own hat

Whats black and white and red all over? Me wearing this outfit a getting sparkles all over the place :) 

I personally am more for tea than coffee, but when we ever visit Cafe Barra Cafe, coffee is a must. Especially with the little biscuits they give you to eat while you chat! How amazing are these Marni shoes by the way? My mom had them in her closet for ages and found them while we were rummaging through our old clothes! This Cafe is one of my absolute favorites, and if any of you ever drop by for a visit in Guadalajara, I most definitely recommend visiting this cafe!

I'm sure lace flare jeans aren't something you see everyday... and heres my tip to you; get a pair of dazzling jeans. Wether they are floral print, lace, neon or studded, it's an absolute must for this coming season. The best thing about dazzling jeans (well maybe the second best thing because first of all, they are adorable!) is that you can really pair them with anything. And when you are in a hurry (as I was this morning) They are very simple and easy to pair with a plain white shirt and an accessory, and get you out the door in a second! Prints, Prints, Prints!

Black & White

Wearing:

Forever 21 Dress

Stella McCartney Crop Top

Miss Grant Sandals

My own earrings

Yet another look with the sheer dress! This time, I folded the top of the dress to make it look like a skirt. This look is a bit more fancy and would be appropriate to wear for a dance perhaps or a dinner, and depending on what accessories or hairstyle/make-up you would like to use, it creates an exceptional look for a dinner or girls night out perhaps? I used plain silver sphere earrings for a subtle accessory look, since the top already had plenty of sparkle and pizzaz! I hope all of you have a fabulous day! <3

Agave

Wearing:

Forever 21 Dress

Costume National Sheer Crop Top

 Denisse Boutique Necklace

Bracelets from Mexico

Black & Black, in the rustic look. Of course there is the everlasting Chanel Black on Black look, but I decided to take the ever classic color pair and create a rustic look, by adding classic beaded bracelets, and simple necklace. A subtle yet striking makeup look (smokey eye) completed the look along with a natural hair wave, turning this look from formal to casual which I plan on wearing again soon! The sheer top and the sheer skirt created a perfect balance of fabrics for the look. A full fabric skirt or top would make this look more formal, and harder to "casualize" for things like school. My personal advice to you all is to have some type of sheer skirt (skirt especially because they are very popular!) because they are great for a simple casual look (a white tee with the skirt) or a classier look (black top with skirt and pearls perhaps? Oh! And finish it off with a swipe of red lipstick!) 

This is Agave from Tequila, Mexico. We traveled long and far to visit and take pictures! And boy was it hot! The Agave has been growing for 10 years and is now ready to be used for products such as Tequila. Thank you to the Agave farmer who allowed us to take pictures!! :)
