emerald city

 Blouse c/o Sheinside, Rubi flats, thrifted bag, Target skirt

It may not look like it in these photos, but it was so cold today! I was shivering my toes off while these pictures were being taken! I was dying to show you guys this blouse though. It's so interesting! It arrived in the mail this morning while I was devouring my avocado on toast and my family were giving the usual "helpful" comments referring to it as "the weirdest shirt" they've ever seen and "looks like a turkey... or an ostrich! a green one!"good luck styling it miss Avenue M".

*Rolls eyes* what do they know about fashion?! I happen to love it! It's such a unique style and something that will be perfect for wearing in the Spring. Anyway, I really must flee, I have such a colossal amount of school work to do that I shouldn't even be blogging... but I'm Maria and that's what I do. If there's one thing I am guaranteed to get a VHA in during high school is procrastination. I am a professional. 

:)P.S: Guess what?! The silly old braces will be off in a matter of weeks, yippee!

sequinned picnic

 Asos skirt, Emerson white top, gifted boater hat, Betts shoes

This skirt is easily the most beautiful item of clothing I have ever owned. It's entirely made of sequins, beads and tulle (aka. a dream skirt!) and not something you would think was under $30, but it was (yippee!). Anyway, for this outfit which I plan on wearing on the picnic we are going on later this week, I wanted the skirt to stand out as much as possible, so this pretty white top was perfect. I hadn't worn this little boater in a while either. If you've been a long time reader of Avenue M, you might remember it from my first ever outfit posts (it was my favourite accessory, ever!). It was quite a regular occurrence!

Anyway, I wanted to share something really exciting with you all! I was recently accepted as a Teen Vogue Fashion Click blogger. I've wanted to be a part of the program since I first started reading Bonnie's blog and now my dream has come true! ♥

It was an absolute scorcher today and I felt like I was going to melt into the ground whilst these pictures were being taken, but I'm happy with them nonetheless and like how golden those trees are in the background. I think they complement the green in the skirt well!
P.S: Mariana (such a lovely girl!) interviewed me here, I'd love it if you went and followed her blog and check it out :) And, the amazing people at Independent Fashion bloggers featured me in their last Links a la Mode along with a few other bloggers. Definitely have a squizz at that one too, I loved reading all the articles &hearts

Have a great day!
