What Would Claire Wear: NYE***

With New Year's Eve tomorrow I found it appropriate to do this post on Monday instead of Wednesday. NYE is so fabulous because it is a great excuse to get all sparkly and glam. 

Dress: 

-this years dress is actually from Forever21. It is gold and mega fitted. Perfect for New Years. 

Shoes: 

-nude pumps are ALWAYS the best bet. 

Accessories:

-I have a divine pair of dangly earrings that I will most likely wear (seen on WWCW: homecoming). I'm also going to wear a leather jacket there but that will come off later;] 

Hair/Make-up: 

-I will most likely wear my hair wavy half up half down with slight poof on top. Verrrry elegant. I will wear the most divine Bare Minerals eyeshadow that is kind of dark and a matte wine lip stain..ya know, so it doesn't rub off on the lucky guy getting a New Years kiss from moi! 

Hope you all have a magical *NYE* 

Make it super special and make that kiss memorable!

Sanctuary

My room is probably my favorite place in the world, besides Paris and the French Press downtown. If I never had to leave it I probably never would. I just spent about a year long process of remodeling it so I am very proud. I have been getting asked quite frequently what it looks like so I thought this post may be helpful.

1. The first photo is of my dresser. On it I have a stack of vintage Glamour Magazines circa 1950s. I also have a vintage tea set (kind of cut out of the photo... whoops), my mothers homecoming queen tiara, and all of my bras. Above it is an iron Eiffel Tower with old fashioned models on it and across from that is a little frame with postcards of vintage fashion photographs that I bought at a couture exhibit in Paris.

2. Photo two is my favorite part of my room, my bed. Its basically all black with a little dark grey plaid throw blanket and my New York city skyline pillows from Urban Outfitters. My headboard is also from Urban. It has little clips all over it and I put things that make me happy on it, such as polaroids and magazine clippings. My bedside table was handmade by my uncle and it has my lamp, a stack of unread magazines, and candles on it. My mannequin is also there.

3. This part of my room is my vanity. I recently strung lights around it, ya know.. setting the mood. I also have art by my friends hung around there. I put little things like my make up bag and a 1960's telephone that belonged to my grandfather on my vanity. I just got that little sofa which I LOVE. I am currently typing this post from there.

4. This is right whenever one would walk into my room. The shelf in photo four is where I keep all of my fashion books and my collection of Glamour's (in case you can't tell I am a wee bit obsessed). I also like to keep chocolates on there for guests.

Hope this gives you guys a little insight into my life!

Holiday Party Dress

Happy holidays bombshells!

The Christmas season clearly entails many outfits. This dress (bought at a local shop) will be one of my holiday dresses. This one is my party dress. I will also need a mass dress and a Christmas day outfit. I will will post pictures of the outfits to come!

• Dress
• Fitted and the photo does not do the color justice, it is a very rich red.

• Shoes
• I will probably wear these black strappy stilettos that look like they could literally kill someone. 

• Accessories
• Black tights (it is winter.. I have to), and most likely my trench coat. Ideally I could wear my fur coat but it is still in Santa's workshop.

• Hair/ Make-up:
• Most likely I will wear my hair down but it is also possible that I will wear it in a low messy bun. Make-up wise I will most likely wear burgundy lipstick and minimal eye make-up... I don't want to look like a stripper... at least not at Christmas. 

I look so forward to posting my other Christmas looks:]

What Would Claire Wear: My favorite tights

Sorry for the late posts dolls. Exams are getting the best of me. 

However my comfort food for my soul is the tights up there^^ 

They help make the worst of days a little more glamorous. Although ripped and torn and worn to their absolute maximum, I just cannot get enough of these $5 Forever 21 tights. I mean I could always invest in a new pair but then the memories that came with each and every run in my tights would be forgotten, thrown away. I am torn, just like my Forever 21 tights. 

xoxo

RIP my future

But Baby it's Cold Outside

With the air becoming so frigid I find myself wanting to stay in far more often. What better way to pass my time indoors than to watch a movie? I am all about movies, I am the girl who could lay in bed in some sassy pjs with coffee and watch Netflix. all. day.

So whenever you are feeling like you need a day indoors and out of the cold air I put together a list of my favorite movies to cuddle with.

http://www.imdb.com/

• Clueless 
• It is seriously like every girl at my schools life via movie.
• Best quote: 
• Amber: "Ms. Stoeger, my plastic surgeon doesn't want me doing any activity where balls fly at my nose."  
• Dionne: "Well, there goes your social life" 

• Breakfast at Tiffany's 
• It really would be distasteful not to include it on the list. 
• Best quote:
• Holly Golightly: "A girl can't read that sort of thing without her lipstick." 

• LOL
• Don't knock it before you try it... ***Miley Cyrus pre-twerk**
• Best quote:
• Lola: "We're in slow-mo because that's how the hot girls always show up." 

• Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging
• This is one of those movies that make you realize that things could always be worse... you could be as unattractive/awkward as Georgia is. And it literally made me cry I laughed so hard. 
• Best quote:
• Georgia: "Look, I can't go out with you, because... because... because I'm a lesbian."

 Happy cuddly days!

Out of my Comfort Zone

With it being my senior year and all I decided to do something entirely out of my comfort zone and try out for the school play. Shockingly, I made it. The play was Godspell which is a tradition at my school, so it was kind of a big deal. Once I was casted into the play I started to panic. What the heck in the world do I think I am doing? I'm not good at this! I seriously had to go all out with this sort of thing, which is very unlike me. I know I am good at fashion, I know I am good at cheerleading, this... Not so much. I had to be totally and completely vulnerable. 

It ended up being one of the greatest decisions of my life. I met people who I otherwise would have never spoken to or even crossed paths. It honestly has changed my life for the better. These people taught me to f*** what other people thought and I want to pass that wisdom on to you guys.

What Would Claire Wear: Christmas Jammies*

If there is one thing that this chick loves, it is pajamas. So throw in the fact that they are Christmas-y and I am sold. I own more jammies than people could imagine. This particular pair is from Old Navy, only $25! Practically free! I also recently got a VS xmas nighty that is red and off-the-shoulder and it says (do not judge me) "Naughty not Nice". They are precious, and so festive! Remember, when you wear sassy PJs you wake up sassy!

• Top
• My comfy off white flannel, it reads "oh deer!" in gold leafing with the little graphic dear on it. So warm and cozy to wear while watching Christmas specials. (side note: My favorite Christmas special is Santa Claus is Coming to Town, ya know... the super old clay animation one)

• Bottom
• Christmas color plaid... 'nough said.

• Eyemask
• My eyemask was handmade by my best friend Caroline. She personalized it, it reads "Bitch" in sequins. I seriously love my mask with my whole heart. When I wear it to sleep I can rest assure knowing the next day will be a Bey day. 

Sleep fabulous and you will be fabulous my angels!

My Strange Addictions

Whenever I discover something I enjoy, like a show or a food, I become addicted to it. It is a bad habit, you don't have to tell me twice. Do I feel remorseful about it? Hell no.

My current addictions are ______.

• Gossip Girl
• forever and always. My weekend binge watching of the show could be considered sinful, but God please don't save me now... It is my second time watching every single season through. Even though I already know exactly what is going to happen I still find myself smiling when Chuck is giddy, crying whenever Blair has friendship issues, heartbroken when B and S fight, and in complete and utter shock when I found out who Gossip Girl was (again). 

• Christmas
• 'tis the season, eh?

• Panties
• buying panties gives me a ridiculous amount of joy. I hope I am not the only person who feels this way, if so.. more panties for moi!

  

  Aerie (combines XMAS&panties), Free People, BHLDN

• Belvoir Elderflower & Rose Lemonade 
• it's orgasmic. I would recommend this to the most prestigious of people without hesitance... that's right Beyonce, I'm talking to you.

• My new hat 
• I mean it doesn't really get all that cold in south Louisiana but what if I go to Russia? or decide to go ice skating? It will be useful one day. I mean 50% off from Banana Republic... if anything I could use it to recreate Blair's Anna Karenina lingerie from GG season 3. 

Although my addictions can be destructive, admitting I have a problem is the first step.
