TUMBLR X FASHION

The first time I ever heard of Tumblr was when I was in 7th grade. But back then I really didn't bother to get involved with it because I was too busy collecting comics. 

I was just as obsessed with fashion and style as I am today. I would browse fashion blogs and websites like Stylebubble, Stylerookie, The Sartorialist etc. for hours on end.

Flash forward to 9th grade and I end up setting up my own Tumblr page. And being the hormonal teenager that I was back then, I would stay up till 4AM just going through random tumblr websites; my pupils fully dilated and my mouth foaming. What usually followed such days would be me having a migraine for the rest of the week or so.

While on my many adventures on Tumblr, I had discovered pastel hair and being the street style fanatic I am, I instantly fell in love. I started to discover all these cool people like Audrey Kitching, Misha Janette and Chloe Nørgaard. And the clothes they wore were so stylish and yet in a way very 'anti fashion.' That's how I came across cool brands like UNIF, Tokyo Bopper and Spank. These brands really resonate with me because the clothes they produce are so witty and whimsical. The tie dye prints, the angsty messages, ripped jeans, studded jackets and combat boots are just perfect. I feel like those are clothes that PERFECTLY fit and angst filled yet happy-go-lucky individual teenager such as myself. 

So if any of you guys ever feel like browsing for gritty and badass clothes, I seriously recommend you go on tumblr and visit these websites below.

CURRENT OBSESSIONS #2

New York based clothing brand; Les Plus Dores has become my new obsession. 

I am totally obsessing over there collection that features T shirts that look like football jerseys. They actually have the surnames and birth dates of famous designers printed on the back of the clothes so that it looks like actual football jerseys. If you don't know what in talking about then I seriously recommend you look it up. 

Guess I know what I'll be getting myself for my birthday present this year.

ADOLESCENCE

Where do I even begin? If I were to sum up anger, horny, mood swings, never ending hunger and body odor X10 in one word, it would definitely be 'teenager'.

During my early teenage years I was what you would call your typical teenager. And I never knew until recently, how much it actually pissed off the people around me. I was so full of angst. One moment I'd be happy and the next moment I'd want to stab someone in the stomach. And the best part? I never knew why I wanted to do any of that. I wasn't one of those emo kids who was depressed and wanted to cut myself. In fact, I was one of the most cheerful kids ever. Back then, what really pissed me off was sudden changes in lifestyle. I mean like, one week we'd have band practice after school and the next week it would be Maths classes.

And don't even get me started on my physical changes. I was swearing 24/7, my skin was so oily I looked like I had my skin laminated and to top it all off I was hungry every single minute of every fucking day. 

All of that being said, my early teenage years have shaped me into most of what I am today. Not saying that I don't have room to grow ( a lot of which still needs to be done) but I feel like the experiences I've had thorough out those years have helped me shape myself into what I am today. And I can proudly say that I absolutely love the person I've become. Yes I still do need a few improvements, but most of what I've become is really positive and optimistic. I've learned to accept people for who they are, be more open minded and understanding of things that I don't necessarily want to understand AND even cook! 

Since I'm gonna be turning eighteen this November I'm that much closer to becoming a mature adult, which means I won't be able to blame things on my hormones as much as I'd like (hardy har). As much as I'm gonna miss my adolescent years, I'm so gonna enjoy growing the fuck up and not have to worry about feeling like a bundle of angst all the time.
